Yep. I’d say it worked out pretty good for him.

I watched on the Rekieta Law stream and one of them mentioned that someone in the courtroom said the jury looked disinterested, arms crossed, and not taking notes during Kyle’s cross examination. The point they made was why object when nothing being said is hurting Kyle and objecting would only draw attention from the jury to trivial matters.
They also mentioned that the defense attorney had a history of being someone who didn’t object a lot in previous cases so this is his normal style

His rifle was the IDEAL weapon for this application. When facing a potential mob swarm, those 30 rounds come in handy. He fired 7 or 8 rounds that night. A pocket carry pistol or revolver would have left him completely undefended as he made his way to the police. He likely misses several times with a pistol as well, making the extra rounds invaluable.
For quantity of ammo, yes. However in all three instances the aggressor was within a few feet of him. Very close quarters for a rifle.
Probably why Unicep get his bicep vaporized instead of one in the chest.

A pistol would have been far better in the situations Kyle was in.

The only thing I can see is that the defense didn’t want to over object and appear to be antagonists. The prosecutor was coming off like a real arse and they were content to allow him to continue that.
They obviously had tremendous faith in their witness.
Yeah those are my immediate gut thoughts on the subject as well, pretty much verbatim. Prosecutor was going out of his way to come across as abrasive, condescending, arrogant and even mean spirited in general. Which jurors find especially loathsome. And Rittenhouse appeared extremely well prepared for the cross examination, which of course includes preparation for the ugliest possible topics that could and likely would come out, the likely manner in which they would be directed at him, and how to react. I was pretty impressed with the execution of the entire situation.

the da sees he has no chance at conviction
the da best result at this time is mistrial. . Let some other da resolve the mess
the da worst result at this time is mistrial with prejudice, Kyle is free. I'll bet the feds step in at this point

I completely agree with those takes. No doubt.

He's a dem, has a goofy hairstyle and has a very condescending and patronizing voice.
I'm leaning corrupt.
The likelihood of communications with leftist groups that they would not want publicized being on Unicep's phone is pretty high. I'm assuming that was behind the refusal to serve the warrant.

I remember saying this from the beginning. He was old enough to carry a rifle. It’s crazy how I easily looked up state gun laws yet people would consistently just make up what they thought the law was. Why has our society come to this? The info is readily available to you.

I understand that.
Was simply pointing out that AR's are carried for deterrence generally. Pistols are not.

Honestly when an older baw walks into a diner where I'm having breakfast with a sidearm in a holster I sit up a little straighter and think that guy isn't going to put up with any nonsense.
So I'd say the deterrent factor is pretty much spot on.

For people who possess common sense. I mean, for most of us, simply possessing a rifle is a deterrent. Why would you do anything that could be perceived as a threat to someone with a gun????!
People are afraid to debate this because it could be seen as arguing “he deserved to die” for just being stupid.

Perhaps, but the rifles open presence serves as a deterrent and allows you to neutralize a threat in close quarters without allowing that threat to get too close, with a high level of accuracy. This is why riot police carry them. That said, they wear side arms too.
ETA. He also testified that he wasn’t old enough to carry a pistol under WI law.

Now picture a confident 17 year old walking in with an AR 15 with a sling and I bet your eyes quickly fixate on that 17 year old right quick.

Who the frick charges headlong at someone holding an AR while screaming I'm going to fricking kill you?

I'm with ya, and this isn't intended to apply to the Rittenhouse situation, but more generally speaking, if you are certain you're not doing anything wrong yet someone accosts you with a firearm for no apparent legitimate reason.....if I'm in that situation I may be inclined to believe that it's just as likely as not that the person has intentions of harming/killing me. Thus perhaps it's inadvisable to simply sit there and let it happen, may as well go all in.

And, after seeing this, who the hell would prosecute the self-defending victim for murder? Oh, yeah, Binger, a radical socialist who has a little of DA power and soros money.
