JURY CHOSEN IN ONE DAY. 20 jurors have been selected in WI v. Kyle Rittenhouse. 9 men and 11 women. (8 are alternates)
Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 26, and Anthony Huber, 26, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 27. Prosecutors say that Rittenhouse, then 17 and from Illinois, was a vigilante looking for a fight. He, like other right-wingers, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin ostensibly to protect property. This happened as protests over police shooting local man Jacob Blake turned violent. Rittenhouse’s attorneys assert he was acting in self-defense. This case became a cause célèbre among conservatives.
Prosecutors have struggled in court, failing to introduce evidence of prior aggressive behavior. This included evidence showing him attacking a woman who was in an altercation with his sister. The other is that he was closely linked to the violent, far-right Proud Boys organization.
Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder said an appellate court would reverse him if he allowed these in trial. The evidence was too prejudicial, he said. He left it up in the air whether he would allow footage showing someone identified as Rittenhouse discussing a Black man exiting a CVS pharmacy. Rittenhouse believed the man was shoplifting.

These kids should have never felt the need to protect their town. The mayor should be impeached for neglect.
@@letspetpuppies Kyles dad lives in that town and the very first part of this video is this guy saying he lives in Kenosha. Also Kyle works in that county. He was also asked by a guy to help protect his property. Seems like very connected to Kenosha.
@Charlie Allen It's the mayor's fault that the rioting was allowed to continue by making sure the cops' hands were tied. It's funny how all the places where the mayors allowed that crap to happen, asked for emergency aid because the towns and cities were disasters.
You're only allowed to participate in this sort of thing for the purposes of burning and looting. If you are business owner the only thing you can do is hope the mob somehow skips over your business and targets another. If you dare to protect businesses, property, or your life against the burning and looting mob you will be held for over a year without bail.
@Charlie Allen no illegal firearm purchase. Did you even watch the trial? Another useful idiot announcing themselves in a comment section.
Everyone’s at fault minus the true non - violent protesters. The rioters , burners, looters, police, mayor, kyle for having an illegal gun and under 18. Outside of that.. This is what happens when 2 wrongs don’t make a right! Just more wrongs take place.
54 minutes in and I think this prosecutor either thinks he's made points he didn't make or he is secretly trying to get Kyle off.
He was just laying out basic facts leading up to the crime, it is not like a TV drama
*the Prosecutor doesn't have the Witnesses or the Evidence to Support 1st Degree Murder. the Videos speak for themselves.*
@@fenian123 they're trying this an for murder. They have no case. This is a clownshow.
This testimony makes Kyle sound like a hero as well as corroborating his claim of self defense. Why did the prosecutor put this guy on the stand? lol
I didn't even know this side of the story! Kyle really was left with no choice and no help and he took care of business to say the least.
Cuz the 2 prosecutor's are a bunch of idiots. Didnt Remove reasonable doubt.
If I ever get charged with a serious crime so far I want this guy prosecuting me. Like a double lawyer team for you
He's helping Kyle's case 😂😂
@@kodyheskett7964 because he can't do otherwise. Kyle acted in self defense, every video and every witness prove this! The prosecutor can't prove something else. The truth always comes in the surface.
No he not. He gonna be found guilty
@@kenbines2199 found guilty only of doing the world a favor.
@@kenbines2199 if he's found guilty then that means we as Americans can not defend ourselves against these communist anarchist or we will be thrown in prison. I will feel bad if your on their side rather than the true Americans who love this country.
Self defense is not a crime.
@1953moe your bias and stupidity should be a crime
@Charlie Allen I think opening statements talked about how he was chased away by a mob in both circumstances then went to go and try and turn himself in. I am unsure of the firearm laws here - is buying a weapon with the intention to giving it to some one when they turn 18 illegal? Or was it the fact that kyle gave him the money for the purchase?
@Charlie Allen
The law says he can carry it if he's supervised by an adult. His friend was 18.
@@theimmortal4718 … but it still was a “ghost gun” purchase.
@@fredderf3152
You don't know anything about guns. There's no such thing as a ghost gun purchase
Trying to figure out why the guy that got shot in the arm is not charged with attempted murder. He was going to shoot Kyle.
Obviously because he never aimed it at him. He never got the chance. Something my wife pointed out though, the guy who fired the first shot, the shot that made Kyle turn around when Rosenbaum caught him, he broke the law by firing a gun in the air. Why isn't he wanted by the police for illegally firing a weapon?
Proof justice is not equal in the law of politics.
@@chuckmount5873
The guy who shot the gun in the air is Joshua Zuminski. He's been charged with arson of property other than a building, a felony, and disorderly conduct-use of a dangerous weapon. His wife Kelly Ziminski, 30, was charged in December with several misdemeanors for her actions at the same time
@@zubair-xj5mn I share the same viewpoint. Rittenhouse should be charged with knowingly possessing an illegal firearm. The charge of murder should be dropped because he did not intend to murder. BUT… he did violate a certain law … and that should be what he will be found guilty of. Amazing of the number of people on here that cannot understand that there are a number of charges here.
Skin pigment.
Best reality show ever. Thanks America
Kyle did nothing wrong
Except for trying to be a wannabe GI Joe/Cop. Someone should have split his cool-aide pack.
@Charlie Allen Being in possession of the rifle is breaking the law. They aren't charging him with the purchase, so that's off the table. The murder charges... Can't you tell me one single time that he shot someone who wasn't attacking him? Can you tell me one time that he initiated the conflict instead of try and remove himself from the conflict? That is key for determining if it's murder or not. I know you're really pulling for the ones who attacked him, unprovoked and trid to keep him from getting to the police, but I think you're gonna be disappointed in the outcome.
@Charlie Allen illegal gun charges and self defense are two different things. If you are illegally carrying a gun concealed inside a bank and a bad guy tries to rob it. You shoot bad guy it goes down as justified and you may face a slap on wrist for illegal concealment of firearm. In kyles case his adult friend bought the gun which is legal and due to hunting laws in the state it was legal for him to possess it. Having the gun is gonna get argued grey area. Might lose the gun charge but defending himself with it from attack is gonna be separate and from all evidence looks like clear cut self defense. Even if the gun was “illegal” he still has the right to defend himself with it
@Charlie Allen the gun was not illegally purchased. kyle could legally carry a rifle, just not purchase one. everything you say is wrong. how could you be so wrong when you have access to the internet?!?
I absolutely NEVER can tell what this prosecutor is trying to get to! He seems to just be wasting time!! For gods sake, get to something INTERESTING! and something that might prove your case!!!
It's called laying out the facts... It's isn't LA LAW
@@mvubu6823 He's doing a good job of laying out clear self defense.
10 years ago Kyle would have gotten the keys to the city. How far we have fallen
They don't have a case... This is the most clear cut case of self defense I've ever seen outside of a home invasion.
Kyle was attacked by a mob of rioters who were burning and looting local businesses, and Kyle only shot at threatening people attacking him.
This kid has such incredible trigger discipline, if a cop was in a similar situation they would have emptied their magazines for each threat.
Kyle was insanely accurate and took out 3 low lifes.
He deserves a medal and the media should be sued for defamation.
this is how all court cases go seems they just always ask unnecessary lengthy questions its just part of it
A sad series of events all around. No winners here.
Well said.
It’s true.
Clearest self defense case ever brought before a court...im sorry people lost their lives but maybe people will learn they shouldn't throw fire bombs at, and shoot at a country boy with an AR.
So it's self-defense running around with an illegal gun for 2 days hoping for the opportunity to blow someone's brains out...🤔💭 THAT'S DEEP
@@onyxopinion1468 man thats crazy, is there any proof that this is what he was doing?!?! FRY HIM!
@@onyxopinion1468 you really busted this case open! Lmfao
Country boy or not you can still get it any where , Kyle will do time .
@@onyxopinion1468 judge dropped that charge.
Prosecution got blown up by the judge in pretrial. I do appreciate this channel not forcing an opinion of its audience, and just letting the video speak. Refreshing
How did the prosecution get blown up pre trial?
@@Mircheeks 5-6 major items one being, allowing the video of the police giving kyle and company water, and thanking them for what they where doing. Everything he wanted to hide from the jury, the judge is allowing the video evidence. What’s sad is the picture the media has portrayed, nothing close to truth.
I’m mean the only opinion that matters is that he was acting in self defense . Not opinion fact . Sorry
@@timothykyllonen9628 Mostly because the prosecutor is idiotic and has been getting checked by defense counsel over and over. Prosecutor got his law degree from a crackers jacks box, apparently.
@@chickenfarmer209 it's also cause there's just no case here so of course the prosecutor will look like an idiot when clearly he has nothing to go against that it was clear self defense
41 minutes in and this is either the worst prosecutor ever or he's trying get Kyle off. Holy cow the questions.
Or they have a super weak case
It's a paper thin case and the prosecutor knows it is.
The prosecutor knows that kyle acted in self defense so he tries to learn every detail prior to the event in order to frame kyle somehow. The prosecutor does a great job, even though immoral because he knows kyle is innocent. Don't judge him.
That’s because they have no case! It’s just smoke and mirrors.
Keep believing that. He may walk on the murder charges, but he can’t claim self defense on the endangerment and gun charges. That’s 18 years in prison.
Can the government explain why the cops allowed the rest of the crowd to stay? Charge Kyle but not EVERYONE ELSE THERE.
@Charlie Allen troll someone in real life. See how well you can do it through broken teeth
@Charlie Allen Did the rioter who got his bicep blown off, after attempting to murder Kyle, have a "legal" firearm? Do tell...oh "guilty until proven innocent" one.
@Charlie Allen, ???? here is the question again. Lets see how bad faith you really are.
"Did the rioter who got his bicep blown off, after attempting to murder Kyle, have a "legal" firearm? Do tell...oh "guilty until proven innocent" one"
@Charlie Allen , "It's not hard to extrapolate from this point guilty of murder with illegal firearm" ~ it's not hard for you because you're a piece of s**T. If a girl under the age of 21 is drinking at a bar with a fake ID and gets r***d, would you blame the aggressor or the girl because she shouldn't have been there?
@Charlie Allen Would it even make any difference to you if it were Totally Legal?
Can’t tell the difference b/t prosecutor and defense counsel.
seems like two defence teams.
„Did the defendant ever breathe in your presence?“ „can you tell us more about that?“
This is a good one. I think you nailed the prosecution's questions on the head.
Kyle is a Hero for taking out the trash 🦸🏻♂️
There is a difference with trash n a human being’s life. To error is human to forgive is Devine. I’m not saying Kyle is guilty but he really should of stayed home n left covering n protecting somebody else property was not a good idea. There are consequences to our action’s. There is a place n time for everything. We do have authorities n military to cover these situations. Kyle had good intentions look where he is right now n 2 people killed n one injured. No matter what we are all human n going into that type of situation was very dangerous from the start. Why walk into the fire or go to a,place where your life is at risk or you have to defend yourself to the point where you have to use an weapon. Kyle clean up was of service helping aid others yet we have medical people for that type of situations once again. He could of gotten killed himself. He knew also the weapon was not registered in his name and in someone else name right there is a red flag you are taking a risk and now this is what happen. Thank God nobody got killed or him. Our loves ones suffer to. Nobody deserves to die this is why we have jails and prisons. We have laws and Kyle broke the law when he went there with at weapon had he not he would not be in this position.
Amen
So vigilante justice, with no accountability, is okay now?
Spot on it was self defence against people looking to cause him serious harm
You can tell he has no evidence
The demeanor of this judge is oddly calming. Love how he made sure there was an easel. Why would the prosecution not ensure they had an easel?
I don’t know if you make any this comment to be funny but it is. Maybe it’s the word easel.
The corrupt media should pay dearly for what they did to Kyle and his family, PERIOD!!
Kyle wanted to take his gun and go into the belly of the riot. Kyle suffered no injuries of any kind. This was his live action chance to play Clint Eastwood in real life.
5'2" 123 pound chubby faced Kyle was going to act like a tough guy and his AR-15 would show the public how tough he was.
Even if this clown gets acquitted he will likely live in seclusion or hiding. He and his mom were forced to move 15 times in the period before the trial.
He is also unemployable. No company wants him on their property, he is a toxic brand and presence.
@@maxsmith695 watch the trail and be quiet. Everything in the videos shows self defense. If Kyle just wanted to kill that night he could have went on a rampage.😏 if i was being chased by multiple people, kicked in the face and someone tried to take my weapon.. id shoot too. he offered help to others that night. Come to Idaho when your set free Kyle, you'll be just fine.🙂
@@blovely3334 The eyewitness photographer McGinness testified today that as Rosenbaum chased kyle for about 20 feet in to the lot, Kyle found he had no room to run ,so he fired on Rosenbaum. The eyewitness said it appeared Rosenbaum might have lost his balance or was falling, just before he was shot. Only 3 people saw the shooting incident, 1 is dead, and 1 is the photographer and the third is Kyle who is trying to remain out of jail.
Rosenbaum was at least 8 feet from Kyle when he was shot and he was unarmed.
This is the first murder trial I have seen where an armed man, shoots and kills an unarmed man, and the armed man claims self defense.
I am quite sure the yawns and smirks from Kyle in the courtroom are being watched carefully by the jury of 11 women and 1 man.
@@maxsmith695 pretty sure Mcginness said Rosenbaun "lunged" at Kyle to try to take his weapon and when Kyle swooped his gun clockwise Rosenbaun missed and Kyle then pointed it at Rosenbaun and shot.. Ive watched the trail live since the start. I have seen a couple face expressions that probably dont play in Kyles favor, but i also seen when they showed Rosenbaum laying on the ground after being shot and then showed Kyles reaction and his jaw was clinching and he looked disturbed. I truely dont think this kid is a Monster or went there that night with the intent to kill.
You’re ridiculous. They only people that deserves sympathy are the victims families. Kyle can rot in prison
The prosecutor: I'm just here for the paycheck and to draw this out as long as I can!
Without a doubt he is
No lie, he asks the dumbest questions just drag this out..
He’s got to make at least a good effort to keep people from accusing him of throwing it.
The prosecutor has to protect everyone from an AR rifle touting 17 year old in the future that decide to play with guns. And have the power of life and death.
@@danaferguson462 nice try troll
will they be asking the convicted offender where and how he got the gun he was going to execute Kyle with ???
Probably not, tune in Monday i believe gaige will be taking the stand
The answer is yes and no.
That da is blackmailing the witness it's clear to anyone watching it's a conflict of interest
I agree, but that’s the nature of prosecution in general whether it’s drug traffickers, thieves or mobsters.
Blackmailing the witness? He's an accomplice in a crime involving Kyle and the death of 3 people. He illegally bought the weapon that Kyle used to illegally brandish and shoot people. It's all relevant. You can hear the witness choking up admitting that he participated in a crime with Kyle.
@@chaotickreg7024 lol.. he bought the gun legally in his name. coz he was over 18 years..
What are you smoking or listening to..
@@chaotickreg7024 seeth, there’s no evidence of murder
@@tonyks4777 Kyle picked it out and gave the money. If a 12 year old said to an adult "Get the Marlboro Ultralights, here's $10" then that is an illegal restricted sale. Kyle said "Get me the AR15 like yours, here's the money" so yeah this is an illegal restricted sale.
Prosecutor says I got nothing here so I'm just going to keep asking questions and maybe somebody will stumble into something I can use. They just brought these charges to satisfy the mob, knowing this was going nowhere

Interesting how the cops just stopped at protecting the government buildings and left the regular folks to fend for themselves.
Kyle shouldn't have to go through this for defending his life, he must be reimbursed for the stress and pain when it's over
He's sitting on a couple of million bucks
kyle is going to prison
@@fauxque5057 Lets hope.
@@Kenalemangeole Do you really think Kyle will go to prison or just hoping and can't tell the difference? It was clearly self defense. The only thing he can be convicted for is the illegal possession. That's less than a year in jail. Also breaking curfew, but that's just a fine.
In Wisconsin, he's allowed to use any weapon for self defense. If it's illegal, he has to try and avoid the confrontation first... Like running away. He was chased and attacked by others. He never chased and shot anyone.
@@chuckmount5873 He's a troll, I've seen him in a few videos making similar comments. Now that being said even still under WI law he was not in illegal possession of a long gun, because that law only applies to minors under the age of 16, and if they are carrying a short barreled rifle or shotgun
I really hope the Jury has got the BALL"S to do what's right. Maybe the will not let the mob influence them... HOPEFULLY!!!!
I don’t see any possible way this doesn’t end up in a hung jury. People are too stubborn in their politics right now
If anything the video evidence shows why you shouldn’t attack someone that is carrying an AR-15. Smarter everyday.
Brandishing a weapon while surrounded by people with concealed weapons sprinkled in the crowd isn't smart either. He could have easily wound up ear holed. But the biggest lesson here is not to grab your gun and go down to a protest looking for trouble. Also don't straw purchase weapons for people, especially if they can't legally own the weapon.
@@ultrastoat3298 logic is a lost art, well played
I agree. I wouldn’t do any of those things. I also wouldn’t have tried to grab that little psychopath’s long gun.
selling out your brother to save yourself from six years when he's looking at life... spineless.
The jury decides
Yup, that’s how it goes dude 😂
@@normascott7551 My guess after listing to several outside expert attorneys is Kyle is acquitted and perhaps some charges are dropped before the jury is given instructions. I am not so sure Dominic walks.
He's telling the truth
“Did you hit your targets?”
“Not all the time”
Kyle did when it mattered most 😂
this isnt going well for the prosecution. I suspect the judge will grant an acquittal at the end
@Charlie Allen That's not one of the charges, so they must not have enough evidence to prove that. Which is odd considering his friend admitted to it, openly. The only things he's defending himself against are the killings and the possession of the firearm. The possession will probably stick. The murder and homicide charges will be tough to prove considering he tried to get away in every instance and only fired when he was attacked.
@Charlie Allen If I were a betting man, I'd say that he was offered immunity for that ATF charge in order to testify without fear of incriminating himself. Although, he did say that he bought it and would retain custody/ownership of it until Kyle was 18.
@Charlie Allen - what are you going to burn down when he is acquitted?
@Charlie Allen - I’m not a crackhead thug, so I won’t be burning anything down.
@Charlie Allen and Citizen's rights in the Constitution are granted to them by the Creator. It's not... propaganda that you have freedom because somebody else gave you a right. Must have been educated down at the government School

This kid should walk on all charges, if they get him on a gun charge i think i can accept that but this is the best case for self defense i have ever seen. What we are being told is you shouldn't protect yourself or the people you care about and that includes their personal property.
he will be found guilt of 2 counts or recklessly endangering and their is a 50% chance hes found guilty of attemped murder for his last shot. While the last victim was armed he never pointed his gun at Mr Rittenhouse. USA laws are so messed up
@@ceerawlins3412 Keep dreaming. See 939.48(3). If Rittenhouse is clear on Count 1 (shooting Rosenbaum), he's automatically clear on Count 2 (endangering McGinniss). On the second endangerment charge, the guy was full-on trying to kick him in the head while Kyle was on the ground and unable to retreat. He's allowed to defend himself from such a potentially lethal attack. Grosskruetz dropped the phone out of his left hand in order to grab the barrel of Kyle's rifle with it, while bringing the handgun in his right hand around to fire. This is self defense all day long.
@@ceerawlins3412 the way I saw it was he was bringing that gun up to be able to shoot. He gave no indication he wasn't going to shoot and he even said after he wished he was able to shoot Rittenhouse.

Oddly.... that sling kept 2 of the perps from getting control of Kyles rifle. Weird the prosecutor is focusing on it.
He is trying to make the case that because he had a sling it meant that they there no threat to him because they couldn’t easily take the rifle off him. But you can still shoot someone with their rifle in a sling during a struggle. Also they are t going to set the precedent in this case that anyone that has their weapon holstered or in a sling can’t defend themselves when people are reaching for their gun.
The thing is, nobody took his weapon. They only became active when he was the only one killing people. That's why I don't understand why people keep trying to call this self defense.

@@dangermauz754 the thing is, you cannot defend yourself from having your weapon taken if it was already taken. So yes, nobody took his weapon - because he stopped them… because if he didn’t they would have taken his weapon.
The state has actually shown that Kyle has an excellent self defence case in their opening statement...
"Excellent case" are words you are not equipped to define. He may well escape conviction, but it will have nothing to do with this witness and this line of questioning.
@@arthurneddysmith reread my comment...I did not say what you claim I said.. I said the state has made the best case for self defence, for the accused...
This is what morality policing looks like. The cases come across as jokes because charges are not being made based on law but on idealogy.
Based on our states laws. Rittenhouse is guilty period.
Guilty of defending himself against someone who said they wanted to kill him minutes earlier
@@millrat1977 cute the laws and make your case. You can't. You have done all you are capable of doing.
@@millrat1977 *- at most, Guilty of Misdemeanor Weapons Charges, but here in California where carrying a Firearm is illegal,*
*if you use it in Self-Defense then the DA will Decline to Prosecute and Drop all Charges.*
@@millrat1977 proof?
It seems we want to let juilius Jones out. But want to throw a innocent guy in jail? Not to mention the prosecution is a better defense then Kyle's defense.
Is the defense supposed to object to the prosecution making their case of self defense for them🤣
Exactly. And the reason why is the the left has a burning desire to side with the criminal because they think, like them, the criminal has been cheated in life. It’s not the criminals fault, it’s some external reason. No responsibility. By protecting the criminal, letting him go, they get the satisfaction of revenge against the perceived advantaged. In this case the advantaged is the conservative. The law abiding citizen who was protecting life and property .
Prosecutor: Do you know the history of the land your family owns?
Do you know what kind of weather looked like when you and defendent were on your family's land?
Would you say the defendant could tolerate the weather you and the defendant were in that day?
Im just here to drag this out..
Kyle is a hero! He is getting treated unfairly
Name one of the case, where the armed gunman shoots and kills an unarmed opponent and claims self defense. Not happening.
@@maxsmith695 one guy had a gun, other guy had a skateboard. He was out numbered.
@@maxsmith695 It doesn't matter if someone is unarmed or not in case of self defense.
He traveled out of state and killed people with a gun, and he left without a scratch on him.
I bet he is 😂
Rittenhaus is on trial for taking responsibility and showing solidarity, that is now described as "looking for trouble"
Apparently not sacrificing your country to criminals destroying businesses is "looking for trouble". America is crazy.
@s p you do realize that cops weren't protecting businesses right?
Who's the dumbass here? 😏
Who else though the super duper thermos was a damning piece of evidence? "Do ya remember Kyle with THIS?" Then the prosecutor takes a gulp. Guy is a complete dope.
It’s like dudes in WI just don’t know how to tie a tie. If you can’t button the top button, then lose the tie.
They don't their accustomed to wearing flannel shirts and overalls😂
Then there’s “like dudes in WI” that wear pants 6 waist sizes too big with no belt.
Nice grammar miss Tee. Get off your high horse
The people who actually work hard in this country as opposed to smoking weed or pushing papers…yeah those people don’t wear ties
Was Kyle being chased? Was he assaulted with hands or anything else like a skateboard etc? Was his firearm at risk of being taken from him? Did he randomly just fire upon everyone or only those posing a threat. Did he continue shooting anyone after they were no longer a threat? Self defense all day long imo.
Did he shoot an UNARMED person? Were the 2 other people he shot, chasing A KILLER? These are FACTS you love to ignore...
@@mikebrin2002 lmfao dude came at him video proves that video also proves the other two posed q threat to him as they attacked him jesus you really are not that smart or have much for common sense 🤣🤣🤣
Agree completely, as most rational people would. He shot a man who was not only attempting to bludgeon him with a blunt object, but who was attempting to take his rifle with a reasonable assumption he would use it on Rittenhouse after he took it away. The other two were assisting the attacker in his endeavor. Rittenhouse’s actions are likely the only reason he’s still alive today. He believed they intended to kill him. Fact. More people are murdered with blunt objects each year than with firearms.
@@CrowCreekOutdoors The FACTS ARE the ARMED folks that kicked and struck Kyle with a skateboard were going AFTER A KILLER, so you suggest disarming a KILLER with your BARE HANDS..... RIGHT
@@CrowCreekOutdoors NO ONE chased Kyle ALL NIGHT... so you just want to OVERLOOK the FACT they only chased him AFTER he shot an UNARMED person..... Really
This trial is a joke and this has to be the worst prosecutor ever
"one of the affected carsource locations"... ie.... burnt down. If the prosecutor is this dishonest....
Owner of CarSource never asked for their help.
@@skronked where'd they get keys? Why was he in the picture? Ever heard of lying to prevent your business from getting burned again?
You can't murder someone over a burnt down building? What?
@@couldntdeal19 He defended himself from attack. Watch the testimony. They keep showing video and testimony of people attacking Kyle. He has the right to defend himself. He doesn't have to wait until its too late to act.
“We need a bigger podium” literally the only thing both the defense and the prosecution can agree on.🤣
When Kyle gets acquitted, it'll be because he had four lawyers defending him
This court room is so light-hearted and chill. Everyone is so relaxed.
Amen!
Amen!
It's not really a trial, there just gong through the motions for appearances. The judge has already made it clear that he will make sure of the acquittal.
@@CharlieTWilbury yee yee!
@@NateForTree Amen!
After day 3 it's becoming more clear the prosecution is purposefully acting in a somewhat malicious way, they violate the rules several times and it seems the defense is missing some big opportunities to retaliate against the prosecutor, the Judge is doing a good job though.
.. what they might call a "cold gun" on a movie set
Alec Baldwin felt that :P
I would like to add that the other difference of the 2 guns is the serial numbers are also unique.
That isn't a scope. Its a reflex site. Jesus.
C'mon Ralph , it's a " sight " .
@@PrimaryVector it's an optic you uncultured commie, haha.
There are quite a few things he says that show he doesn’t know as much about guns as they’re trying to make it seem. Or he’s playing dumb for his friend.
the fact that the prosecutor looks like ace ventura pet detective. that tells you something right there
I say Littlefinger from Game of Thrones
His poor self esteem is evident
do prosecutors take an oath to protect and defend the constitution? If so, how does one turn to literally attack and subvert the constitution. Asking for a country.
Off topic. I am duly vaccinated and I still have to wear a mask in church. Yet no mandates in court? It’s time to stop mandates.
Do whatever Don Lemon says!
I have my booster and wear 2 masks when I'm outside.
What's up with DB now as the charges against KR posessing this weapon have beein dropped? Any update on this?
He has taken a plea deal
Haircut on prosecutor WTF can't take him seriously
Yep right to defend yourself is the very basis of our constitution. Against any and all threats
If I go to your neighborhood with a gun and walk around it how long til you have a problem. What if I point it at you and tell you to stay off your neighbors grass?
@@AJ-happydad Boy you don't know the laws at all. I've love to speak to you in voice chat right now and see if you can name a single statute having to do with firearms at all. I bet you can't.
Do you know how society or criminal law works at all dude? It seems everyone who is against Kyle in this case has absolutely NO idea how the planet works let alone the United States, rights, self defense, or the criminal justice system.

Free Kyle

Take the fat lil killer then
Horrible!
If every falsely indicted person had a defense counsel like this, the justice system would be fair!
He seems like a good friend. I hope that he gets off of the charges- they seem like they were actually trying to help their community. They went out to watch over businesses at a great personal cost to their own lives.
Is that Littlefinger from GoT?
I was thinking more about the weasel from Iron Man 2.
Clearly self-defense
I’ll start by saying it’s sad that people died. I will however say it’s equally as sad that these guys who are effectively kids felt the need to go and defend businesses and put them in the situation. Really sad that they’re on trial based on only good intentions while those who destroyed people’s livelihoods are at home on the couch.
PREACH!! The ones who came to town with ill intentions and to cause destruction had no problem going in there to destroy that town and its businesses..but then when they get hurt and are met with violence and or resistance all of a sudden they are "victims". However if they would have just stayed their butts home, that wouldn't have happened.
@@maxsmith695 I don’t think Kyle went looking. I bet every dollar I have that if he could go back in time that’s he would stay home
@@maxsmith695 he had a little medical training that's why he wasn't on the roof ! He was supplying first aid
@@sunkillsmoon - He had CPR as a life guard. Dominic not only threw him into the wolf pack Aug 25, he is trying to throw him under the bus to avoid prison. Dominic is a POS. Kyle walks.
@@sunkillsmoon he wasn't trained as an EMT! He had to riffle for medical supplies at doms house. Don't you need two hands available as an EMT, he was carrying a long gun. Untrained, treating people with probably contaminated medical supplies, carrying a rifle. Just young, and so dumb.
Why were charges ever filed?
They laid the gun that Kyle used his own money to pay for, no longer secured, out in the open and saw him pick it up and walk around with it for a few hours, without reprimanding him or attempting to recover the weapon from him, and then Dom went with Kyle to the riot both packing rifles together, and we're supposed to believe that Kyle did not have permission to possess the gun?! They unsecured it, laid it out in the open, saw him take possession of it, declined to tell him not to, gave him a car ride with the gun in his possession, and then joined along with him in traveling elsewhere with it. That is tacit permission.
The explicitly stayed agreement was that Kyle could not take the gun back to Illinois because he was 17. The agreement was NOT that he couldn't take the gun to any place in Wisconsin.
All warmed up with insurrection I suppose
I’m rewatching as I honestly didn’t see it all
I think the prosecutor had political ideologies and that’s why he prosecuted Kyle in the first place
Well Dom...the federal prison system is much better than state.
Kyle MUST go free
A young man can enlist in the army at age 17 though that does require parental consent. At 18, a man can enlist without parental permission. One must conclude that government considers 17 a competent age for military weaponry. Or perhaps government doesn't mind arming young men for canon fodder, but objects to a private citizen who is capable of self defense.
A 17 year old is considered an adult when enlisting. So we are clear we are saying he's an adult not a teenager.
I saw the video. It was self defense.
No illegal person with a gun no killing's
The Blockhead Boys!
All they wanted to do is help and protect the community.
Become a police officer?
I suppose he could be a cop, you can join the military at 16 as a reservist. But the city needed action and the citizens stepped up. It was a sad outcome all the way around.
Not really sad for the situation more sad at how it divides the nation further.
"Bruh im just trying to be famous."

And now he IS! Lol 😂
@@pistolpackinmama5090 Whats hilarious is, how Dominicks dad took the guns out out a secured code lock gun safe in fear people miles away would come and break in. like what? If anyone was to ever do what he fantasized he made it easier. That was a smooth lie that got over looked. Nice. :D
@@frankreynolds6831 seeth
I wonder if these two are still friends…if not hopefully they can mend fences someday.
I wonder if he still dates Kyle's sister
The Prosecutors must be living in a sperate universe, because in this universe every thing that Kyle did was in self defense! The prosecution is attempting to argue that the men that chased and attempted to beat and potentially kill kyle, were justified because they believed that he had shot some one. by that logic if someone in a crowd points at a person and decalitres that that person killed someone you would be justified in hunting them down and killing them regardless of weather they are innocent or not! The prosecutor is basically Justifying mob mentality!
Apparently, you have been to law school? Ridiculous comment.
And your spelling is atrocious.
@@danaferguson462 There are some spelling issues but his view is sound.
This prosecutor is clueless. His hairstyle shows it too. Incompetence galore.
He looks like Gary Oldman playing Gavin McGinnes.
