The prosecutor used a roadhouse meme for his closing arguement. You have got to be $#@!ing kidding me. This is a clown show.

MSNBC skips Kyle Rittenhouse defense's closing argument after airing prosecutor's case to jury
https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-...osing-argument
MSNBC snubbed the defense team of Kyle Rittenhouse during closing arguments on Monday after airing the prosecutor's case to the jury that the 18-year-old was guilty of murder.
Rittenhouse's trial is coming to a close after weeks of intensity in the courtroom with prosecutors arguing to the jury that he intended to kill Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as well as Gaige Grosskreutz, who survived following the altercation. The defense argued Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense.
However, after hours of coverage dedicated to the prosecutors, both MSNBC as well as CNN opted out of covering the kickoff of the defense team's closing argument, airing the White House ceremony of President Biden signing the bipartisan infrastructure bill into law.
Following some on-air analysis of Biden's legislative achievement, CNN returned to the Rittenhouse case, missing the first hour of the defense's closing argument.
Meanwhile, MSNBC returned to its normally-scheduled programming with "Deadline: White House" host Nicolle Wallace hyping Trump ally Steve Bannon's surrender to authorities after he was indicted for defying a congressional subpoena.
Long before the Rittenhouse trial even began, the teen was villainized by the liberal media, particularly by MSNBC.
MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson compared Rittenhouse to a "school shooter" and even declared him "the enemy" while analyst John Heilemann said he was "arguably a domestic terrorist" who crossed state lines "with the intent to shoot people."
"Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough claimed Rittenhouse was "just running around shooting and killing protesters."
"What a dark, dystopian scene where a 17-year-old boy is carrying around a rifle running around and gunning down protesters," Scarborough added.
Considering the mindset and lack of logic in today's society, I would not want my fate in a juries hands.
he fked up allowing the "provocation" charge...its like a bs nfl taunting penalty without video evidence
FLIP THOSE FLAGS, THE NATION IS IN DISTRESS!
why I should worship the state (who apparently is the only party that can possess guns without question).
The state's only purpose is to kill and control. Why do you worship it? - Sola_Fide

At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?
Well, now it goes to deliberation. Best wishes Kyle. Hope you walk out of the courtroom a free man.
I can't imagine a scenario where he is convicted of anything now that the gun charge is tossed. If he goes to jail he is a political prisoner.
That said, the kid should have stayed home. The people he was there trying to help threw him under the bus. Hard lesson to learn, you look out for yourself first in todays world.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I was hoping the Jury would be back with the Acquittal by now.

The fantasies portrayed by the prosecution's closing arguments were complete clown world distortion of reality that should warrant disbarment. Unfortunately, I think it could have been persuasive enough to get a hung jury and mistrial.
I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.
