They would have to transport him across multiple state lines, outside if thier jurisdiction, and could be stopped by any local or sheriff's office
Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Thread
- Thread starter LindyAF
- Start date
90-180 days long enough for them to accidentally starve him to death.
Edit- which the FBI did to several children in the finders cult, a police officer that investigated said cult and a journalist that investigated the FBI for murdering people who were looking into the Finders.

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.
Sherrifs yes.
If there are any willing to stand I'm the way.
Idk anything about sheriff's in te state

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.

They can under Civil Rights violations, which is what I’m hearing through the grapevine.
That's almost an impossible thing to prove on their part. They would have to prove that racism is the definitive reason Rittenhouse was there to begin with and then prove racism was the key motivator in the deaths over self defense.
On top of that if they fail to convict on the basis of Civil Rights it means the entire trial is being held illegally as the federal goverment wouldn't have had the right to open the case to begin with.

While in poor taste, the book makes clear why he wasn't the killer:
He had arthritis and wasn't able to maintain strenuous activity. Given Ron Goldman fought a good 15 minutes, he would have gotten trashed.
OJ owned guns.
OJ's Daughter was expecting a friend over for a sleepover and informed him of it, and this friend called off at the last moment. Had he allowed her to testify in both trials, she could also have testified that she heard two unknown male voices and screaming from her mother. OJ and the Goldmans kept her off the stand by agreement to spare her trauma.
Nicole was attempting to get back with OJ only for him to decline due to her drug addictions and he had a girlfriend at the time.
The Mezzaluna Restaurant was a well known drug ring location and everyone on the Jury knew about it. They also knew the police knew about it and did nothing about it. Even when the Rampart Scandal blew up, this was all swept under the rug.
The time scales also don't align either.
There was no way for OJ to have done the murders and thanks to the LAPD, Fuhrman in particular, Vanatter second, and the crime lab third, all evidence leading to the real killers was destroyed.
The Prosecution never had a case and the Civil Case itself should have been thrown out as well.

You really think all of that would stop them lol? Ask the January 6th political prisoners how that's going. We live under a corrupt and evil regime, and it's only going to get worse before this whole rotten edifice collapses.
January 6 people have a harder time defending their actions because they did in fact storm the Capitol building illegally and are a collection of individuals rather than a singular martyr who hasn't been proven guilty and has had the nation's eyes on him for months.
He can't just be 'disappeared' or heinously denied human rights without a large public outcry.
I and a lot of Americans care for Rittenhouse because he had done nothing wrong. I and those same Americans care considerably less for idiots who legitimized leftist talking points and stupidly stormed the capitol as if it would change the outcome of anything.

Yes, but I think it's important to look at how it actually operates. There are some actions that it can take and some it can't / doesn't.
IANAL, but I'm pretty dubious that's how that works though. That'd have to be like the only case where it was illegal for the government to hold someone on the basis of failing to eventually get a conviction.
Edit: Made a reply to the Jan 6th stuff in that thread, suggest that any discussion of that goes there.

Kinda hard to prove Civil Rights violations when everyone involved was white. They would have to shop a jurisdiction, shop a Jury and Judge, try it, and 4 years later the appeals court throws it out.

Except that's literally what they have done to the January 6th defendants and your last paragraph explains exactly how they did and could do it here; you did nothing when they came for those people so what's to stop them if they come for Kyle? Regardless of how you feel about the January 6th political prisoners, you've proven fundamentally docile to their horrible conditions; why should they expect anything more from you if they come for Kyle?
I would agree usually, but this increasingly seems like one situation they're prepared to do overreach on given the precedent and the actors involved. Certainly the screeching of certain types on Twitter indicates where their mood is.

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

I don't really see it. Assuming acquittal on all charges, they'll write a billion articles about "double standards" and "wannabe milita" etc. and then left wingers in various offices and any position of power will use what power they can against him in little ways for the rest of his life. But I don't think they'll quadruple down on a bad hand.
I think if the left set the precedent that you can't defend yourself against a mob of rioters and looters, that'd be pretty bad for us. But I don't think the precedent of an acquittal is similarly devastating for the left.
I'm pretty sure the left can survive with the prescident that murdering your political oponattes in the streets is not ok

Regardless of what happens, this trial has been a glorious fount of memes.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, my fellow Kenoshans, this trial isn't about self defense, homicide or two dead pedos but about how that God damn Rainman motherfucker made me look like a fat fuck on national television!"
