    I think we're heading for a Hung Jury ...

    It's taking too long to make a decision that should have been made
    within seconds. With threats to the Jury members plus the threat of riots,
    maybe some Jurers are getting wobbly while others are more stalwart.
    Easy way out is a stalemate. Leave it to others. It's a cop out if that
    turns out as I think it may, but not everyone has a stiff spine.

    What the idiots do in the streets should have no bearing on the jury. Want to know what I think? Well, of course you do.
    This is a huge case. Way bigger than another black nitwit getting strangled by a cop.
    But, it's all white people so the riots will be poorly attended. And it's getting cold.

      Probably acquitted. Hopefully no riots. Were any of the deceased by his hand minorities? As I see it vigilantes are hoping for a big win here and I think they'll get one. Not sure what good it will do them, however. As for Rittenhouse himself, he's still a killer, has to carry that going forward whether from a prison cell or bar stool.

        I don't hope vigilantes get pumped up by this. Nothing against vigilantes. Real vigilantes. So; is Rittenhouse a hero now? He had some fire. Yes, he's a blubbering case at what, eighteen yrs.? He'll out live me by a long shot and get out of prison at some point. Forgive me, but I can see his point. I hate looters and rioters. Throw them in jail for a week. Shoot one occasionally. Protest. Great, but there should be some ruoles.

          There is always an element of drama, even theater in such a case at this one. The man is a fool who would thoughtlessly fail to play the hand dealt to the very best possible outcome. A courtroom is no place to sacrifice oneself on someone else's anthill. In this case, the genuine tearful testimony of a innocent man and the clumsy methods of the prosecution will very likely yield a verdict of not guilty. This will outrage those who believe justice is about right and wrong. Of course, justice is about the law. According to the law, the accused is of course innocent. The protesters will be outraged that equal justice under the law applies to everyone ... even someone they prejudge to be guilty of violating their idea of right ... and wrong. Sincerely. bruce.

            No matter what the verdict is; Rittenhouse's life is forever changed for him! His first mistake was being in the middle of a riot even tho he was trying to do good! His second mistake was carrying a firearm! Advice to all, stay away from riots and don't carry a firearm to one!

                He said he defended himself. What kind of idiot without a gun chases someone who has a gun. What would Spock say?

                    You've sure got weird fantasies. To each their own I suppose.

                      Going to provide security without any LE background is asking for trouble. Kid's lucky the prosecutor is a fool.

                        True, but he got rid of a couple of worthless criminals. He can't be all bad.
