Kyle Rittenhouse Legal Proceedings - Come for the trial, stay for….

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

I really hope this all comes to an end tomorrow. Not only to get it done quicker, but if something of remote interest happens with Chris-chan aside from another continuance, it'll make for one fun day.

If Kyle is acquitted I'm grabbing snacks and running to the MovieBob thread.
The meltdown there will be bigger than the La Palma thread.

I was thinking about that earlier; if we get two courtroom blowouts in one day the forum is going to explode

wtf the right side won the war after all

 

[DumbDude42]

So basic they want to be the Communist Party of the Soviet Union/NSDAP and to replace law enforcement with their own Militsiya/Gestapo type shit?

I'm honestly not seeing any difference at this point.

yes.
to go with the USSR analogy, their secret police (nkvd) existed for sniffing out and arresting suspected political dissidents to send to the gulag camps, and not much else. meanwhile the head of the instituion was doing shit like this:

Lavrentiy Beria - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

At Beria's trial in 1953, it became known that he had committed numerous rapes during the years he was NKVD chief.[61] Simon Sebag Montefiore, a biographer of Stalin, concluded the information "reveals a sexual predator who used his power to indulge himself in obsessive depravity".[62] After his death, charges of sexual abuse and rape were disputed by people close to him including his wife Nina and his son Sergo.[63]

According to official testimony, in Soviet archives, by Colonel Rafael Semyonovich Sarkisov and Colonel Sardion Nikolaevich Nadaraia – two of Beria's bodyguards – on warm nights during the war, Beria was often driven around Moscow in his limousine. He would point out young women that he wanted to be taken to his mansion, where wine and a feast awaited them. After dining, Beria would take the women into his soundproofed office and rape them. Beria's bodyguards reported that their duties included handing each victim a flower bouquet as she left the house. Accepting it implied that the sex had been consensual; refusal would mean arrest. Sarkisov reported that after one woman rejected Beria's advances and ran out of his office, Sarkisov mistakenly handed her the flowers anyway. The enraged Beria declared, "Now it's not a bouquet, it's a wreath! May it rot on your grave!" The NKVD arrested the woman the next day.[62]

Women also submitted to Beria's sexual advances in exchange for the promise of freedom for imprisoned relatives. In one case, Beria picked up Tatiana Okunevskaya, a well-known Soviet actress, under the pretence of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead he took her to his dacha, where he offered to free her father and grandmother from prison if she submitted. He then raped her, telling her: "scream or not, it doesn't matter." In fact Beria knew that Okunevskaya's relatives had been executed months earlier. Okunevskaya was arrested shortly afterwards and sentenced to solitary confinement in the Gulag, which she survived.[64]

Beria was distrusted by both Stalin and high-ranking Soviet officials. In one instance, when Stalin learned his daughter Svetlana was alone with Beria at his house, he telephoned her and told her to leave immediately. When Beria complimented Alexander Poskrebyshev's daughter on her beauty, Poskrebyshev quickly pulled her aside and instructed her, "Don't ever accept a lift from Beria."[65] After taking an interest in Marshal of the Soviet Union Kliment Voroshilov's daughter-in-law during a party at their summer dacha, Beria shadowed their car closely all the way back to the Kremlin, terrifying Voroshilov's wife.[66]

Before and during the war, Beria directed Sarkisov to keep a list of the names and phone numbers of the women he had sex with. Eventually, he ordered Sarkisov to destroy the list as a security risk, but Sarkisov retained a secret copy. When Beria's fall from power began, Sarkisov passed the list to Viktor Abakumov, the former wartime head of SMERSH and now chief of the MGB – the successor to the NKVD. Abakumov was already aggressively building a case against Beria. Stalin, who was also seeking to undermine Beria, was thrilled by the detailed records kept by Sarkisov, demanding: "Send me everything this asshole writes down!"[64] Sarkisov reported that Beria had contracted syphilis during the war, for which he was secretly treated (a fact Beria later admitted during his interrogation).[67] The Russian government acknowledged Sarkisov's handwritten list of Beria's victims in 2003, which reportedly contains hundreds of names.[68] The victims' names will be released in 2028.[69]

Evidence suggests that Beria also murdered some of these women. In 1993, construction workers installing streetlights unearthed human bones near Beria's Moscow villa. Skulls, pelvises and leg bones were found.[70] In 1998, the skeletal remains of five young women were discovered during work carried out on the water pipes in the garden of the same villa (now the Tunisian Embassy).[71] Each had been shot through the base of the skull and had likely been naked when buried due to the lack of articles found on the bodies. Medical examiners estimated that the remains had been placed alongside the conduit at the time it was laid, in the summer of 1949.[72] In 2011, building workers digging a ditch in Moscow city centre unearthed a common grave near the same residence, containing a pile of human bones, including two children's skulls covered with lime or chlorine. The lack of articles and the condition of the remains indicate that these bodies were also buried naked in this same time period. According to Martin Sixsmith, in a BBC documentary, "Beria spent his nights having teenagers abducted from the streets and brought here for him to rape. Those who resisted were strangled and buried in his wife's rose garden."[73] Vladimir Zharov, Head of the Department of Forensic Medicine at Moscow’s State University of Medicine and Dentistry and then the head of the criminal forensics bureau, said a torture chamber existed in the basement of Beria's Moscow home and that there probably was an underground passage to burial sites.[74]

The testimony of Sarkisov and Nadaraia has been partially corroborated by Edward Ellis Smith, an American who served in the US embassy in Moscow after the war. According to historian Amy Knight, "Smith noted that Beria's escapades were common knowledge among embassy personnel because his house was on the same street as a residence for Americans, and those who lived there saw girls brought to Beria's house late at night in a limousine."[75]

Oh god, Bob will only ever double down. That one guy does the rundowns so I haven't been checking, how bad is Bob? Any highlights?

 

[The-Patriarchy]

At least 6 people attempted to murder Kyle Rittenhouse that night, singly or in groups, and none of them succeeded. The reason they did not succeed was because Kyle Rittenhouse used his weapon to neutralize all true threats, and as he did so, he attempted to minimize the danger to anyone who wasn't actively trying to kill him. That this trial is happening at all is a travesty of justice.

Agree.

I cringe when I think of Binger railing at the kid with stupidity like when he suggested that Kyle should've put his gun down on the ground and helped RosenPedo like a good wannabe EMT while the crowd picks up his weapon and calmly executes him.

I've been wondering if this whole "defund the police" movement has the ultimate goal of letting crime get so bad, desperate residents will be begging for the feds to step in as their new police force.

If there are no local police, and you're not legally allowed to defend yourself, take a wild guess who you have left to rely on for protection.

 

[Allanon]

they just hate cops because the cops don't (yet) work for their side exclusively.
their goal isn't a society without cops, their goal is a society where they themselves are above the law while the cops exclusively punish and crack down on their political opponents.

the plot twist of their demands to replace cops with 'trauma therapists' or whatever is that what they really want is a new organization with none of the rules and training in place that we currently have for police so that they can organize a group who never do anything to the 'right thinkers' and crack down on 'wrong thinkers' every situation they're called to regardless of what laws are actually being broken by whom.

Privately funded security forces. Clearly.

They'll have social workers to "defuse" gang violence but federal alphabet boys to shoot you.

Leaving this here before I go home:

Sublime - April 29, 1992

SublimeThe official title of the song references the date April 29, 1992; however, the lyric was sang as "April 26, 1992." It has been said this was a mistak...

The punchline to the left pushing for authoritarianism that follows only their rules is that dictators aren't leftists. All that happens when you take away the checks and balances so 'your side' becomes supreme is that the new government turns on everyone.

 

[H3llonwheels]

aren't leftists.

I am not sure we would be here if that were true.

 

[Titos]

I'm not too familiar with Handbrake, does it save previous used settings after being closed or is it possible to see what files it was previously used on? If so could they get fatass to have to open it and show what it had previously been used on?

 

[Just_Somebody]

Wife and I were just pondering the question. "If Reginald Denny had a gun, would he be on trial for murder?"

I would assume he would be treated similarly to the Rooftop Koreans. But the 90s were a precious time when the media wasn't openly and brazenly cancerous.

Hell, even the dindus waited until the fucking acquittal of cops involved in Rodney King before rioting, and the media didn't fucking "mostly peaceful protest" that bullshit

Every single one of these rioters that are desperate for a police state (that only prosecutes meanies they don't like) are too delusional to realize they're the first ones who are going to jail when the powers that be stop playing pretend.

There's no use for someone like Rosenbaum once no one has any rights anymore.

What exactly do these professional criminals/political agitators think their role in the commie utopia is going to be?

In what society will they suddenly be indispensable?
