Antifa, as I recall, actually started out Europe; specifically, in Germany where they ran a protection racket that exploited the fact that, all they really had to do to get the cops to look the other way, was to claim that the people they beat up for not paying were Nazis.

I consider myself a free speech absolutist, but most people are aware that these jerks aren't just espousing opinions here. They're riling their brainwashed stooges up to get them to commit some plausibly deniable atrocities, all in the name of pushing their insane ideology and eliminating...

Probably not; but that's more an indictment of how our legal system currently handles defamation than anything else. Their false accusations against Rittenhouse caused real harm, and they're going to be able to hide behind the law even as they continue to cause harm to others without consequence.

They are using our own civility against us, and will be woefully unprepared when we finally run out.

They're members of the elite; that's why. Barring the occasional scapegoat, people of that sort have been above the law for generations. They're just getting more blatant about it now.

The fact of the matter is that the media talking about someone is what makes them a public figure; if they're not, then they're not a public figure, regardless of what they've done. Consider Darrell E Brooks; how many people do you think would be able to tell you who he is and what he did off...

My crazy regresive leftist aunt beleives that Rittenhouse is a serial killer; she insists that he'll be in the news sometime next year having killed again. The backlash she got from myself and my mother nearly caused her to storm off; which would have been inconvenient for us, seeing as we still...

There is no arguing with people like that. The only thing you can do is try to expose them, so that everyone else is aware of their desire to become petty tyrants.

They're going to be obsessing about him for years; I hope he's ready for all the harrasment he's going to be getting for the foreseable future.

We can still think he's a fool for continuing to support a terrorist organization, even after they tried to destroy his life.

You'd have to clean house at the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office first; because no way in heck are they going to prosecute one of their own cult's goons.

Regardless of how it ends, this trial is going to be remembered as a black stain on our judicial system for decades to come.

Not that the ultimate result would matter, seeing as the process is the punishment.

Well, we know the sheriff in Kenosha wasn't willing to do anything as rioters tore his city apart; so that's at least one the feds wouldn't have to worry about.

I assume the feds know how to minimize that possibility, but even so; would any of them actually do that, were they to get the opportunity? I supposed it depends on which local government we're talking about.

What would happen if they arrested and charged him anyways; even knowing that they have no legal grounds to do so? I assume it would take some time for someone to step in and stop them; meanwhile, they can toss Rittenhouse in with the January 6th protestors.

Do they? I'm not so sure; because if it came down to it, I don't think they could stop the beast they created if it ever set its eyes on them.

The internet played a large part in that; it used to be that the news media was the only way one could be informed of current events. Now? You can find out what's happening for free, directly from people who were there the moment it happened. How are they supposed to compete with that? By...

I'm hearing the defense is pushing for one though; so maybe they were trying to throw the case, and that's what they want.

Because if the prosecution had been at all competent, almost everything they've done from the beginning of the trial would be seen as obvious attempts to throw away their case. As it stands, I'm not sure if they were playing 4D chess here or not. In any event, I think it now comes down to the...
