The more I see the more splaining this prosecutor needs to do. I dont know why people think that just because a person makes a bad decision to go somewhere they might be in danger means they give up the right to self defense. This reminds me a lot of the Zimmerman case. Should Kyle have been out there? No. Should Zimmerman have tried to follow Trayvon? No. Does that mean they give up the right to self defense if attacked? No.
For the Republicans who want to high step about this case. When you cry about the consequences an innocent person has to suffer despite being found innocent please try and not forget all the other people this happens to all over the country and not just Kyle Rittenhouse. Ask yourself what would have happened in this case if it wasnt so public and Kyle had to go with a public defender and couldnt afford bail. You know what you give up to get a public defender? The right to a speedy trial. He could have sat in jail for years awaiting trial. It happens a lot. In fact its often a tactic of prosecutors to stall the trial and use person being incarcerated as leverage to get them to agree to a plea deal when they arent even guilty. If Kyle was in jail for 2 years and a prosecutor says "accept a plea deal for reduced charges and you can go home tommorrow or we can take this to trial in another 6 months and if we get a conviction we are going to ask for life" what do you think happens. Easy to say what you would do when you are not in the situation.

Pelosi oversaw the social progressive takeover of the party, that's why there are no white Democratic congressmen from the South anymore. Heath Shuler actually ran against her for Speaker for that very reason, and then left Congress after losing because his socially moderate views were no longer welcome in the party.
