Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

C’mon, man! The prosecutor just snapped and started wasting members of the jury! What was he supposed to do?

ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
did binger check to see of there was a round in the chamber?
NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU’RE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY
looks like he swept the whole room… with his finger on the trigger
BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET
see second point above.
how dangerous can all that be? ask mr baldwin.

Excellent one Kate …. when I saw this go down on the news (one of the rare times I had the TV news on) I couldn’t believe it …. pointing a weapon around a crowded court room …. the leftards truly are STOOPID with two “O”s!!
well the ‘O’s are the bulls eye of the target. dinchaknow?
anyway, agreed. what abominably profound stOOOOOpidity.
Mob bosses don’t even intimidate other gang members so harshly.
Contempt of court? Dangerous use of a firearm? How many laws did he break?
That guy seems to have been a political/nepotistic appointment, or else he as a government employee quickly rose to the level of his incompetence.
This reminds me of something I heard on Jimmy Stewart’s old tyme golden age of radio program “The Six Shooter”; in the story, this was apparently the motto of an accomplished gunman:
1) never take your weapon out of its holster unless you intend to use it
2) never point at anything unless you intend to shoot it
3) never shoot at anything unless you intend to kill it
It’s too good an aphorism NOT to be Japanese samurai related, so I’d like to think the writers modified a saying from the old bushido tradition.
Their case was blown when Pantifa boy admitted to aiming his weapon FIRST at Rittenhouse.
Self-defence. Applies to when he shot skateboard boy, AFTER he was attacked first.
Prosecution is CAPITAL D desperate to cover their weak, blown case.
Though, if I were a betting man, KR might be convicted of the least of the charges, for the jury to save face. But he’s escaped murder charges, I’d wager that confidently.
Manslaughter? Who knows in Marxist America
That “least” charge has been vacated already!

DanBC says… “But he’s escaped murder charges,
I’d wager that confidently.”
tell that to derek chauvin.

Except that Kyle is a genuine hero who is being abused by the very system that Cauvin dutifully served for his entire life.
Where are the sights? No sights.
Rittenhouse had a reflex sight on it, which he apparently used to good effect.
The prosecutor is a liar and an idiot.
Good thing for the jury that Alec Long Colt Baldwin’s armourer didn’t clear the gun.
Pointing the rifle the prosecutor committed assault at the very least while exposing himself as an idiot.
The judge should have cited him for contempt of court and if there was a sheriff or bailiff there they should have kicked him in his front hole and then let jury members take turns urinating on his stupid face.
The only thing Rittenhouse is guilty of is not double-tapping every one of the scumbags.
He needs a statue, not Blacky McBreathless.
Closing argument suggests that Kyle should have been completely unarmed … just his fists. How idiotic a Statement is that? Every single ANTIFA/BM troop on the street was armed to the teeth in “legal” objects carried to inflict massive bodily harm. Let fatty and dweeb Prosecutor go wade into that mob. Unarmed. Yeah … tell the mob you’re on their side … tell them you’re an important city official as they bludgeon you stupid.
Legally carrying a long gun … for self protection where the other side was similarly armed … is smart … and LEGAL. The Prosecution is attempting to change the US Constitution via Jury Nullification. I pray they don’t get away with it.
Kudos on the post title Kate. It’s a gem and you are an international treasure.
Keep yer booger picker off of the bang switch.
Lucky for us it wasn’t a sexual assault trial.
THAT demonstration would have been quite traumatic.
Prosecuting dingbat must have taken his gun handling techniques from the Kenosha Police Department. Cops don’t know what to do with firearms either, which makes them more dangerous than the average civilian gun owner, never mind army veterans with tours in the sandbox.
Fox news had the same pic showing Binger shouldering the weapon…
Apparently in a effort to ensure the jury knew how Kyle held the rifle….
Unreal. As if 12 Americans were unsure as to the proper way a rifle is held…what a fuCkiNg MORON…HE MUSTA thought that ya rammed the muzzle up yer ass…?? Yet Looking at that face, it’s a position I feel he may well have assumed at some point.
Finger squeezing the trigger in court, to convince everyone you know stuff.
You couldn’t get away with this in a tv movie script.
The left are beyond parody.
Meanwhile the defence team is rolling on the floor laughing their asses off!!
Why isn’t the guy in the jury yelling: “DON’T POINT THAT THING AT ME ASSHOLE!!!” ?
I would be.
I wonder how much the prosecuting team were given to throw the trial? It better have been a very substantial sum since between them they will never prosecute another case and if they had any political asperations, well those just went up in smoke.
The judge should have him escorted out of the room and charged him with contempt.
Some of these idiots just can’t get that you don’t aim a gun if you are not planning to shoot.
Seems that the ruling class likes to play with guns without knowing how to handle them.
The ruling class plays with LOTS of things they don’t know how to handle … see: Biden-economy.
1. Kyle deserves a meal.
2. Kyle deserves to be reimbursed, for all the costs from the cost of bullets to the legal costs.
3. None should ever be prosecuted for making Antifa good.
4. Even under strictest definition of self defense and ignoring point 3 above, there is no grounds to even hold this trail.
5. This is textbook malicious prosecution.
I guess melodrama is perfectly acceptable in that court room.
If I kill a juror we’ll have a furore.
“Freeze, Gopher!”

Binger is like one of those little pricks we all loved beating up when we were kids.
Is it not illegal to point a firearm at anyone without valid reason? I’m not up on the Wisconsin firearms laws, but it seems to me that members of the jury, and anyone else he pointed it at, could claim he committed assault, and have him charged. Perhaps one or two enterprising souls still might, after the trial is compete.
As to Kyle Rittenhouse, I could only wish all youth had his sense of community, his desire to make it a better place, The fact that at that young age he had training on advanced first aid and lifesaving medical knowledge. Plus his courage to descend into the chaos of those riots, with the intent of helping to protect businesses, and with the idea that he might assist any that were injured. I would say his parents and his community are fortunate to have produced such a potential valuable member of society. Were I his father, I would be extremely proud of how he conducted himself in all of this. The fact that the authorities, the lefty media, the democrats and their antifa/blm shock troops are trying to destroy him, for being an upstanding member of his community is sick and sad. Honestly, I would have thought that they would need the 500 national guard to quell protests if he were to be wrongly convicted. However, in our bizarre dystopian world it’s the other way around. What a sad shitty mess we collectively, our supposed civil society, have allowed to evolve into a strange reality, where the criminals and thugs, (George Floyd, BLM, Antifa,) are feted and lionized, and where they are trying to ground into oblivion, true heroes, such as this young man, just to further their own personal and political desires. Sigh, what disgusting loathsome and evil creatures they all are. We are approaching the end times of western civilization, and I’m beginning to think we deserve it!
fessing up.
l mistook the story rittenhouse was a cop charged with shooting a rioter.
diff sit’n altogether this. lm his backup given my druthers.
still cant stomach cops, seems theres a massive lawsuit story weekly
There is no reason to have the bolt in the weapon for a demonstration.
