Then again, he could have just stayed home and be safe

Kyle Rittenhouse’s mom has said that her son’s decision to take a rifle to an anti-racism protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year saved his life. The jurors who will decide Rittenhouse’s fate are expected to begin deliberating Monday after closing arguments in his homicide trial. Rittenhouse, 18, has argued that he used a semiautomatic rifle in self-defense after being attacked at a September 2020 protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Two men—Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26—were killed by Rittenhouse, and a third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, was seriously injured. Speaking to NBC News, Wendy Rittenhouse backed up her son’s argument, saying: “He brung that gun for protection, and to this day if he didn’t have that gun, my son would’ve been dead.” She conceded that her son probably shouldn’t have been at the protest, but added: “A lot of people shouldn’t have been there.” Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to several charges, including first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

So, it’s their fault they got shot. Now we’re enshrining Hillbilly stupidity into law. Just fucking great.

It’s almost like Wendy Rittenhouse was under her son’s thumb, or something.
If this verdict goes south I hope that the families of Rosenbaum Huber, along with injured Grosskreutz sue young Kyle, plus add his mother as an accessory.

Is it too late to call CPS on this bitch? She obviously did a terrible job as a mother… unless her actual goal was to raise a murderer.

Too bad Bannon won’t follow the example of Thich Quang Duc. As a Republican he truly believes that Trump is being persecuted, but doesn’t have the stones to make the sacrifice.

As for Bannon and his contempt charge Republicans (the usually motley bunch) are screaming "we’ll you Dems when we’re back in power). Well then I guess Dems should pull a Bannon and parrot back to them what they’re screaming about now.
I swear between Gym, Boebert, and the rest of the gang they have maybe 5 brain cells between them.

If skankiness were a crime, Bannon would do life.

The only question left in the Rittenhouse trial is whether or not Judge Schroeder will formally adopt Kyle into his family.

Lessee here… didn’t this kid hold his arms up and try to surrender to cops at the scene of what he did? I read that somewhere. And one does not drive to a demonstration and look for trouble out of self defense ordinarily. So there is that.

On another note…

Congress Is Back

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…

Apparently the only amendment Flynn supports is the second. And which one God is he referring to? The one made in his image?

People will believe all kinds of silly shit when the alternative is contemplating that she’s doomed her son to a life behind bars.

The pollsters insist that the preceding question, “How outraged are you that the Democrats can’t pass a bill, that they lost Afghanistan and have shamed us in front of the world”, in no way influenced the outcome of the poll to fit their preferred narrative.

Nope, I believe his mother was this looney before her son shot 3 people and killed 2.
I mean just think about this, would you at 17 been comfortable in asking your mother to drive you to where a protest had been going on, and is continuing to go on. And say to her, “oh by the way we need to stop off and pick up a riffle from a I guy I know who bought it for me”.
