You can tell the kid can handle pressure well when he was questioned by Binger, never fell for his traps. Sounds like it was him who decided to testify too. I gave him credit, that's tough for anyone and he's 18. On the other hand that babbling Kraus cracked like humpty dumpty. As much as I hate Binger, he's the necessary evil, well done sir. Richards is ok, not aggressive enough though. Chirafisi is good, he's got the energy. I wonder if the defense would have been more aggressive if he was the first chair. Wisco is pretty sharp, she debunked the botched file right away when Kraus was still babbling. She was a bit nervous but presented her story clearly. Honorary mention to Grambo, "a gun is a gun" "m@#$f%^r".

My favorite was when Binger asked him about call of duty

Interesting, the jury reached verdict for huber, and jump kick man on the 17th, bicep on 18th, Rosenbaum and McGinnis today.

"4 doors more whores" being spoken in a court of law was right up there for me.

SanFran, LA and NY might see as much as 5% EMT quitting this week, might be forever. A lot of EMT are altruistic left leaning, but they never signed up to be shot at with no consequences.

Since there are no new recruits in the pipeline, if it ends up being a national 5% EMT resign forever to find another job - I can imagine a million US citizens will probably not make it to the hospital in time. No guesses at all how much general health will suffer.

American won though I guess? Consequences of innocence.

You read your own article that states that it's disputed?

It was changed day of to a knock/announce, the police did knocked but the boyfriend stated he didn’t hear them identify themselves. He shot first, wounding an officer near fatally, officers returned fire and Taylor got caught in the crossfire. The knock isn’t in dispute, the announcing is. Shit situation all around.

According to The New York Times, before the execution of the no-knock warrant, orders were changed to "knock and announce".[52][12]

That's just such a dumb statement. When we had the cup riot in Vancouver do you think a 17 year old showing up there with a loaded gun to play law enforcement amidst the rioters would have improved or worsened the situation?

That’s a pretty weak comparison, police presence in Vancouver is MUCH larger that a 100k person town that didn’t get national guard support until the third night, it didn’t last for 4 days, and people were getting seriously injured

In speaking with Heather Wessling, vice president of economic development for the Kenosha Area Business Alliance, Rose said the damage to buildings and businesses is an estimated $50 million, including 100 businesses and as many as 40 “out-of-business for good.”

But insurance will cover it is what I always hear but is that how it works?

My store got broken into twice in the past 7 years and my deductible went from $1k to $5k. Just so ma fan.

The guys who owned the car lot that hired Kyle et. all found out that their insurance wouldn’t cover damage from riots, but it’s also likely that they were running some pretty scammy things when it comes to taxes etc. so who knows if they didn’t have another angle. It wouldn’t surprise me if the business owners in the area didn’t have amazing coverage that takes into account things like fiery but mostly peaceful protests.

That dude's testimony was funny. Do you have insurance? yes. Do you have coverage for damage from riots? i dont understand. Do you have rough estimate of the damage? I don't know. You said ~500k? Well there is oil on the pavement blah blah blah. WTF? There were ~130 burnt cars, 500k? Either he's really slow or there is something going on.

Saw on Reddit:

Q: Why haven't the BLM protestors started rioting yet?

A: They are all on their waiting periods for their self defense AR-15 purchases.

I keep seeing people saying "The kid shouldn't have been there". And whether you think that makes him guilty or not, you're right he should've never been there............... Because the government and law enforcement should've been doing their job to protect the public so that no private citizen ever felt the need to go do it themselves. Seems to be a largely ignored fact from people criticizing this kids choices.

Seems like the 'defund the police' people don't realize the narratives they were pushing was a direct cause of these types of situations.

Had the cops been adequately funded and staffed, Rittenhouse and other people trying to 'protect their communities' wouldn't have had to get into these situations in the first place.

Just to add to your point; the fine print of many insurance policies state that damages incurred during riots are NOT covered

Ideally not have their business destroyed while authorities turn a blind eye and allow domestic terrorism?

That's why we can't have riots and that's the government's job. No one would provide insurance in a lawless state. Even if they do, guess who would end up paying for it. But if you feel unjust, how about dumpster fire and verbally threatening people around you with the n words? That works well.
