why wouldn't that follow for RW judges too? You'd think their JUDGES would have some smarts, but, nah.

Just because you got a degree don't mean you're gonna do the right thing.

Gross generalization over.

He and his gun-loving friends showed up, paraded around with AR15s and provoked the crowd by pointing their weapons at them. All this stuff about self defense is nonsense.

He had guns, is a white male who associates with the Proud Boys - and that makes all of this okay.

Very disheartening.

If I showed up with a gun at a Unite the Right rally - I would be thrown in jail. Wouldn't get the chance to shoot.

What's so 'special' about this man? He's not a kid. Tamir Rice was a KID. This is an evil malcontent.

Trayvon was 17 - and described by people of Rittenhouse's ilk as a Man. A threatening man.

I want the same treatment - black or white.

8. Rittenhouse is no different than most gun-toters. He's racist, hopes to be a Hero, worships gunz,

straps his gun on looking for an excuse to shoot someone, etc.

The public officials that allow people to carry gunz at a protest, should be on trial to. Assume that's Wisconsin law.

Although the judge seems to think it is and this is his audition.
