Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

Namely, Schroeder on Monday — the final court hearing before the trial begins — ruled the people who 17-year-old Rittenhouse gunned down in a street can’t be referred to as “victims.”

However, Schroeder will allow the two deceased men to be “referred to as rioters, looters or arsonists or other pejorative terms,”

but not victims.

Right why would the judge double down on bias?

Well, mainly because they *weren't* victims. Kyle was assaulted and acted completely lawfully in defending his own life per the US constitution.

"Rioters, looters or arsonists" are not pejorative terms, they are simply descriptive terms given the facts and evidence of that night. It is completely relevant to the details of the case, given that kyle was there to help the overburdened police deal with rioting, looting, and arson.

Is this a trial determine if everyone should bring guns to the next civil war stand off?

LOL the judge's ring tone blast while defense talking about a mistrial I wish it was this though.

As always, you are boiling a complex issue with many shades of gray, into a black and white situation.

A trademark of those who cant really conceptualize complexity and critically think about the many dimensions of a situation or challenge ones own biases and assumptions.

And this isnt the first time you've done it.

If it were clear cut self defense there wouldnt have been charges brought up. An example is the officer who had to shoot Ashley Babbot. The investigation that followed determined that this was a clear cut case of self defense and thus, no charges were brought.

In this case, the investigation that followed determined that there were grounds for charges, and thus, we have a court case to determine whether this was in fact self defense or not.

This is how the judicial system works, maybe you need to do some brushing up?

That is painfully naive. There were charges brought because they knew that not charging him was guaranteed to spark more rioting. First degree murder though? Even manslaughter? Are you kidding? The prosecution has no case, if they get a conviction it will be because of public pressure and caving to the mob. The ONLY thing he's guilty of is a barely underage gun charge, which itself has a ton of grey area, but that in no way justifies a murder charge. That is ridiculous given the abundant evidence.
