Does anyone got the well, he shouted "fuck you" and then tried to grab his rifle clip?

There's a good rant about the involvement of big tech and big media in the Rittenhouse case.

Rittenhouse trial plagued by corporate tech and big media bid to taint his case​

By Monica Showalter

As Kyle Rittenhouse's prosecutors go into their grand facepalms, following the trial revelation from their star witness that just supported the 17 year-old murder defendant's claim to self-defense, it's pretty obvious the wretched case is now over. AT deputy editor Andrea Widburg has an excellent post today on that here.
The short story here is that kid was beset by antifa thugs during the Kenosha, Wisconsin arson-and-looting riots last summer, and ended up killing a couple of menacing Antifa-linked thugs who seemed to be trying to kill him first. The argument stands up, and even the guy who'd been aiming the gun at Rittenhouse at close quarters admitted it. The case obviously should have never been brought to trial and the kid should not have been held in jail, been subject to a slew of Red-Queen-style trial by press, nor held up as a pariah in the months that followed. These prosecutors had no case whatsoever and are now on record as junk prosecutors who bring trash cases premised on the direction of the political winds. The kid should be acquitted promptly.
But the prosecutors weren't the only creeps in this case. A hell of a lot was done by corporate and big-tech America to demonize the kid without trial and shut the kid's ability to defend himself from a public that wanted to help him out well before the trial.
On the tech front, several of these entities shut down Rittenhouse's capacity to raise funds to defend himself.
Start with Facebook. According to this Aug. 30, 2020 Wall Street Journal editorial:

The social-media giant seems to have declared Kyle Rittenhouse’s fatal shooting of two people amid riots in Kenosha, Wis., a mass murder. Mr. Rittenhouse’s lawyer says his client was attacked and acted in self-defense, but Facebook has banned any “praise and support” for him on the site, including links to contribute to his legal representation. Searches for his name on the platform also come up empty.

This is an alarming resort to censorship on an issue of public concern by a company that has advertised its support for First Amendment values. Even more than most political controls on content, this blackout is troubling because it seems targeted at users’ expectation of freedom of speech and Mr. Rittenhouse’s right to due process.


By taking down links to pay Mr. Rittenhouse’s legal fees, the company is interfering with his ability to raise money for his defense in a way other criminal defendants might. The fact that the platform may only be used to declare Mr. Rittenhouse’s guilt, but not his innocence—though lawyers say the self-defense argument is plausible—could prejudice a jury pool in the high-profile case. One of America’s most powerful companies is effectively giving its official imprimatur to Wisconsin prosecutors’ case against a specific defendant.

Mass murder? What kind of lie is this?
Since Facebook didn't like him, they decided that he wasn't to be allowed due process, which is what antifa members get. So much for that 'democracy' these leftists are always pontificating about. Impunity for leftists, Red Queen "justice" for right-wing Rittenhouse. It's vile and disgusting. They jumped to their conclusions early, made bad ones, and now owe the kid at a minimum, an apology.
But there was plenty more and it wasn't just from Facebook. Other tech barons were active, too:
According to the Washington Times:

GoFundMe confirmed Thursday it removed fundraisers created on its site in support of Kyle Rittenhouse, a teen arrested for murder following a deadly shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The popular crowdfunding company told The Washington Times it pulled fundraisers made for the 17-year-old murder suspect and refunded all donations contributed to those campaigns.
GoFundMe said the campaigns were taken down for violating its terms of service but did not specify further. Its terms prohibit “activity that GoFundMe may deem in its sole discretion to be unacceptable.”

This one, too:

A campaign for Mr. Rittenhouse created on rival crowdfunding site Fundly raised more than $50,000 within several hours Wednesday, meanwhile, but subsequently disappeared as well.

...and these guys:

This morning PayPal confirmed to Gizmodo that it has cut ties with GiveSendGo, the Christian crowdfunding platform which hosts fundraisers for, among other causes, Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse and Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.

More here:

On Monday, PayPal stopped providing payment tools to GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site that helped raise money for people who attended last week’s Capitol riots, said PayPal spokesperson Justin Higgs. GiveSendGo also raised money for the legal defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, charged with killing two protesters last August in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.
Higgs said that the company works “to ensure that our services are not used to accept payments for activities that promote hate speech, violence or other forms of intolerance” and that it regularly reviews accounts for prohibited activity. The company is currently reviewing accounts associated with last week’s riots for possible termination, he added.
GiveSendGo’s founder Jacob Wells said PayPal’s account of what happened was not accurate and that GiveSendGo decided to stop using PayPal after receiving a request from the payment processor to “censor” some campaigns.

There also was the press itself. After confirming that the kid was conservative and a backer of the police, the Washington Post went out of its way to report on how supposedly 'dumb' and 'stupid' he was, how much of an academic underachiever, as if that would have any relevance to the case other than to ensure that such negative information about Rittenhouse got out into the public. What he did or didn't do was irrelevant to them, they just wanted to paint him as a Trump supporter who was necessarily dumb. After all, they had a "narrative" to spread.

The narrative for the failure to convict Kyle to be hanged, drawn, and quartered is gonna be "justice system too white", the prosecution being too white, that sort of stuff. Mediocre white men failing to open and shut such an easy case, because that's honestly what they believe.

Yea cuz redditors are all young idiots who live in their moms basement

I am guessing you didn't mean "fried" in a literal sense, but this is a good opportunity to point out that it has been over 150 years since Wisconsin last employed a civilized approach to humans exhibiting predatory animal behavior.

You can fill an entire ice tray with the assholes of neighborhood vietnamese kids and, at worst, they'll give you lifetime access to a law library and free health care.

Fucking clown world.

Fun fact, Wisconsin had the first "rehabilitation prisons." In green bay, when u drive past it, you can see the oldest side of the building, with the cool masonry, and the prisoners were housed in tents while The Prisoners built the prison.

Smoking has been gone in jails and prisons in Wi for like 10yrs or more tho, so they don't have that.

Dodge is a very clean prison and very well run from what I hear from folks who were locked up there. The Mexis and their gangs basically have a lot of respect in there and run things on the prisoner side of stuff.

Everybody and their mom gets "Huber" or work release for the daytime. Sometimes when I read an actual Wi newspaper, the first or second page is all "walkaways from XYZ jail" fugitives, they just never returned after work that day.

Fat useless gov Doyle changed it from 5 DUIs as an automatic felony to 4. The first DUI in Wi is civil. If you get a DUI 10yra or more apart, they don't sentence you like a repeat offender, but as a first time offender. I had an uncle rack up like 8DUIs in 10 states once, and thankfully Wi is overall more lenient, but expensive. To get all this, you need to pay a lawyer a couple grand (so many DUI lawyers here but basically you do better hiring one, like it says you're serious about it or something, versus just being poor and having jail and paying the big fines, I don't really get it myself but that's how it works in reality here)then pay for your breath machine for the car, pay for your ankle monitor, pay just to be on Work Release. So your first DUI comes to a grand or more. It's usually a couple thou in fines if you've had one before or have an existing record.

Sorry to sperg, I am not *from* Kenosha but I've lived and worked all over Wi and Mn and Mi (and Indiana, gawd that state sucks) and spent more time in Wi than any other state, so just wanted to sperg over my coffee this am.

Ok guys back to work, what's the drinking/smoking word game today???

What's in your flask tho

Dis bitch crazy.



Also, dis bitch exceptional.

Dis Bitch gives us True and Honest Bitches a bad name

How about Da Dumb Bitch Hoochie instead, don't lump her in with us

This x1000. The paramedic profession is crammed with tons of wannabe badass faggots, I believe they're called "wackers". They put emergency lights and LICENSED PARAMEDIC stickers on their personal cars and carry radios and vests around off-duty because they think they're hot shit - then you find out that they're actually just EMT-Basics or not even EMTs at all.

When I was in paramedic school a long time ago there was this kid who showed up to class every day wearing a NYFD "tactical" EMS vest. He had the lights on his Toyota Corolla. He would constantly interrupt the professor to give his take on the material and claimed to work cardiac arrests all the time "back in New Yahk". Everyone (including the professors who eventually just straight up told him to shut the fuck up) thought he was a fucking faggot and he eventually flunked out.

That juror 100% hates bicep boy and the prosecution for presenting him as a medic.

Just Wana direct you to a thread here on Asher Heimermann, agreed that when you claim you're a nurse or an EMT or medic (or firefighter! Or a cop like Dewitt!) you are not viewed well by anyone here after that.

 

[Drain Todger]

Is it just me, or does this guy look kinda like a young Viggo Mortensen?

 

[Balr0g]

One thing is for certain Social Media is actually saving Kyle in this trial. After all without Twitter, Facebook and whatnot we would not have all of those wonderful clips or those damning Twitter posts (Hello Grosskreutz)

 

[BluntyBitch]

What was the blonde bitch "firearms expert" with the valley girl accent? I've tried googling her name and I can't be arsed to go backwards in the thread. Wtf Google

 

[RichardMongler]

Indeed, they care only when a black is killed by cops, they don't give a rat if a black was killed by another black.

Black lives don't matter, least of all to Black people.

 

[Kimchi4breakfast]

Who is left for the prosecution to call? The couple with the -ski last name has been mentioned a lot.

I think the prosecution has got to call someone today, because it would be weird and awkward to call to order, enter jury, and Binger just stands up and says "prosecution rests". On the other hand, can they have anything left in the tank that is less awkward than just resting at this point.

 

[ProtonMailManTheSequel]

I just love the fact that Grosskreutz translates to "fat crust."

The narrative for the failure to convict Kyle to be hanged, drawn, and quartered is gonna be "justice system too white", the prosecution being too white, that sort of stuff. Mediocre white men failing to open and shut such an easy case, because that's honestly what they believe.

Yup. White prosecutors and white judge failed to convict white boy accused of killing white pedophiles because white supremacy--or something.

When you live in Opposite Land, it doesn't have to make any sense.

 

[Make Anime Illegal]

He doesn't take either of his hands off the rifle before gaige starts charging him. It's impossible for Kyle to have touched the charging handle to "re-rack"

Heather Williams, she wasn’t blonde though

Sorry to sperg,

Just don't let it happen again. :-)

The Ziminski couple.
Apparently they aren't on the witness list. Given that yesterday the prosecution tried to have the dirtbag cop try to say it looked like Kyle was pointing a rifle at Ziminski when he zoomed in on his phone, but they aren't bringing him to the stand means he's too much of a sperg to do anything other than further hurt the prosecutors case.

 

[Meat Target]

Do we have a witness list for the defense?

Edit: check it out Newsweek mentioned Daddy Rackets. (Archive)

 

[The Nameless One]

I just rewatched that video over and over this morning to see it for myself. If he did pull the charging handle, it was before Gaige put his hands up or right as he was doing it. The resolution is too low, the action too fast, and somebody briefly walks in front of the camera during the second in which this is happening. Grosskreutz wouldn't have had time to process everything he claims to have been thinking in that span of time, and Kyle may not even have noticed Grosskreutz standing there with his arms up by that point. But I think the important thing for the defense to tell the jury is that there is no video evidence showing Kyle "re-racking," only Grosskreutz's testimony (in which he was proven to have lied for his own benefit multiple times).

They listed like 200 potential witnesses during jury selection I believe, but we don't have like a breakdown of who is expected to actuality get called and in what order.

 

[reinigen]

What’s the consensus for who’s getting the blame for Kyle (potentially) walking? It seems to be ‘prosecution is incompetent’ which is hilarious. What’s the slam-dunk case that armchair lawyer Redditors think could be presented that these ‘incompetent’ prosecutors are too greased to figure out?

For you your discussion needs.

I agree. The prosecution could have made more of that little claim than they did, but the defense should have their video expert refute that claim just to nip it in the bud. Don't give the weasels on the jury any way out of acquittal.
