A small but significant, and unexpected, break for Kyle Rittenhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal team can brand the men shot by the teen in Kenosha, Wis., as “rioters” and “looters” when his murder trial starts next week — but prosecutors can’t call them “victims,” the judge has ruled.
In a pre-trial hearing Monday, Wisconsin Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder overturned a motion to bar the teen’s attorneys from using such terms while trying to prove his triple shooting in August last year was justified self-defense.
If prosecutors can try to portray Rittenhouse as “a cold-blooded killer,” then his defense should be free to “call someone a rioter,” the judge said, according to a Kenosha News court report.
Still, he cautioned the defense team against using pejorative terms during opening statements, saying they should be reserved for closing arguments — and only if they can produce evidence justifying the terms.
Oh, I dunno about all that, now. Seems to me there’s an abundance of evidence justifying ’em—seeing as how the filthy scumballs made a serious, credible attempt to murder the kid in cold blood and all. Then again though, I’m a reasonable, sane White Debbil™ who has refused all along to buy into this upside-down, Through The Looking Glass anti-reality the gibbering-mad Left has foisted on us. So YMMV, I guess.

Finally some good news. Now, getting a decent and honest jury . . . .
Wisconsin’s Court of Public Opinion has already spoken and Kyle Rittenhouse is guilty, guilty, guilty.
It will be interesting to see, though, whether or not the racist mongrel from South Central Los Angeles, Maxine ‘MadMax’ Waters, will attempt to sway the jury with her eloquence, as she tried to do during Derek Chauvin’s trial.
I wonder, also, if the State of Wisconsin will attempt to bribe the jury with a multi-million dollar taxpayer-funded settlement to the families of the rioters and looters who attempted to kill Mr. Rittenhouse?
