Related: About this forumUnjust Ruling in Rittenhouse Case; Can't Say "Victims" But Can Say "Looters, Rioters & Arsonists"
Glenn Kirschner
In a horrifically unfair, unjust and unbalanced ruling, the Wisconsin judge presiding over the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial has prohibited the prosecutors from referring to the two people Rittenhouse shot and killed and the one he shot who survived, as "victims" but is allowing the Rittenhouse defense attorneys to refer to them as "rioters, looters and arsonists."
