Belief in Rittenhouse's guilt tends to correlate with sheer ignorance of the facts of what happened, thanks in no small part to media lies.
Rittenhouse open-carried an assault weapon which is illegal. Since self-defense cannot be invoked by someone who kills someone else in in the commission of a crime, self-defense was not a valid reason for aquittal.
Hey genius, did you pass along your masterful legal analysis to the prosecutors? They could have used the help.
It is ironic to me that in Wisconsin we had this jury that acquitted this idiot, but in the deep south, in GA, the three guys who killed Arbury were convicted.
It's not ironic. The jury in each case heard the facts. In Rittenhouse's case, the facts showed self-defense. In the Arbery case, they showed murder. When viewed through the perspective of racial injustice, the verdicts seem ironic. When viewed through the lens of the law and facts, thy make complete sense. See how that works?
The strategy of lionizing vigilantes like Rittenhouse may deepen Republican support in hard-core Trump country. It will be a gift to Democrats in suburban swing districts where the 2022 midterms will be decided.
Something tells me that most people will have other things to worry about.
