WATCH: Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand in his own defense in Kenosha County court on Wednesday, Nov. 10. MORE: https://bit.ly/3D47CJc WARNING: Some language ...

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'd say that is a perspective held by 85%+ of US citizens across class and all other boundaries unfortunately...

      Yeah the justifiable murder fantasy is pretty well baked into the American identity for obvious historical reasons. It's just frustrating that even I'm watching these witnesses who were with Rittenhouse and I'm having a hard time seeing the standard American juror seeing them as unreasonable. Except for the photography guy who was clearly weird and biased. But everyone knows someone like this, who would leap at the perceived chance to kill a looter, etc. and when they aren't under oath/on national TV, they sound as unhinged as the actual prospect of killing someone in cold blood actually is.
