"The worst part is he did it while sitting in the judge's lap."



Text

The worst part is he did it while sitting in the judge’s lap.

Chicago Sun-Times
@Suntimes

Kyle Rittenhouse, in an unusual move, was allowed by the judge to draw the slips of paper that determined who would decide his fate and who would be dismissed as alternates.

That task is usually done by a courtroom clerk, not the defendant. https://bit.ly/3nmtDgS

you won't get anything of substance when you ask for clarification when these charges about other DUers are made. Just accept it, you are now part of the Rittenhouse fan club.

The only questionable thing I saw on DU was an over the top trashing of the shooting victims in one thread (Rosenbaum's crimes are indefensible, of course).

makes one a "part of the Rittenhouse fan club"??

What kind of insanity is that?

Whatever it is, I get your point -- Never question those so insecure, they' can't even EXPLAIN their statements, let alone defend them, as their only option will be to make baseless accusations against the questioner..Got it.

I've certainly seen no one defending the bastard either, and I fail to see why members should be allowed to post accusations against other members that they can't even explain, let alone defend.

But I know of no other lives lost during the turmoil in Kenosha, other than the lives Rittenhouse snuffed out.

That judge needs to be sent packing. Why is he giving Rittenhouse special treatment after he killed people? It is completely crazy!! Rittenhouse needs to be prosecuted and so does the judge!!!
