The prosecutor just asked him if he was inspired by “first person shooter videogames” where “the objective is to kill as many people as possible”
He’s 100% getting away with it.
:agony-consuming:
EDIT: his testimony continues, new link here: https://youtu.be/YfrUopNUSIk
EDIT 2: The judge just denied the admission of a key prosecution video exhibit because "pinching and zooming on an ipad inserts extra pixels" and he won't allow the exhibit unless the prosecution can find an expert witness to testify that it won't corrupt the image. He's given him 20 minutes to find such a witness
I've been seeing a lot of posts on the left side of social media and even here that border on defending Rittenhouses actions, stating that he was only acting in self defense or further diluting his actions or allowing him the benefit of the doubt.
Can we just unequivocally say, right now, that Kyle Rittenhouse is a fascist white supremacist and his actions on that day last summer were indefensible because he intended and still intends to uphold capitalism-imperialism through the violent oppression of ethnic minorities? Does anyone actually disagree with this? Let's just get on the same page here.

:this:
this kid is the spectacle; he's the process of going from burning down police stations to arguing about statues. if a judge sentenced him to 99 years of gulag and socialist reeducation, would that be a victory?
don't mix up the signifier and the signified
He is absolutely indefensible and all who do can share the wall with him as far as I'm concerned.
Are there no ditches to be dug or train tracks to be laid?
Like I'd make the ditch diggers and train guys have to work anywhere near these weirdos.
Soc dems are horrible for a reason.
Not just socdems unfortunately.
I agree with everything you’re saying, but who on the left has defended Rittenhouse? Even most normie libs I know think he’s a wannabe Klansman who should rot.
I’ve seen explanations of why he’s likely to get off and why what he did is considered self defense under US law, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone actually defending his actions.
People on this site. Probably the same people who find any reason to defend Glenn
Haven't seen anyone here doing that but maybe a banned wrecker or two
Got a link or two?
No, they don't.
crossing state lines to attend a protest seems premeditated as fuck.
Our guys good, their guys bad. But unironically.
This is another argument that people are making, that you can't for some reason accept the premise that a group of people are bad because they "disagree with you". Yes... That is certainly what we ought to do. When the other group of people are those that believe that black and brown and poor working people should be ground into a paste, it is our moral imperitive to oppose them. It's one of the most liberal ideology-poisoned arguments of all. Drives me insane!

Who cares about martyrdom?
This guy should be in jail. The right wants a martyr? Good, let them have it. The left has hundreds of them and still doesn't control america.

It is, but I'm still pissed that he will probably go free.
that just makes you a hog, I think
Like I said, doing a bit. But looks like it was a bad bit.
Are you talking about Destiny? Because that's the only "left"(he's not) person I've seen defending this kid.
