Rittenhouse jury to acquit in under an hour. They’ll leave the courthouse before 5 pm.
They’re not coming back on Saturday or going late Friday night.
What did he eat ?
Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old;
Some like it hot, some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot, nine days old
Pease pudding (porridge) is a dish that evolved from medieval pease pottage, one of the main filler dishes before potatoes arrived in the British Isles.
One of its first mentions in culinary written history was in a 14th century recipe book entitled ‘The Forme of Cury’
I hope your are right Cornhead. I also hope that businesses in Kenosha, and everywhere for that matter, are battened down and armed up. I don’t think the cops will get between the howling mob and property owners.
Now the main stream media and social media are all in a tizzy over a harmless, lame joke the judge made about food ordered for lunch.
“I hope the Asian food isn’t coming … isn’t on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor”
I guess a bunch of dingalings on Twitter are saying it’s racists somehow.
Cornhead: I kinda wish for “with prejudice” but an acquittal would do fine as well. Are we jinxing that by hoping for it?
In any case, I think the Kenoshans should prepare for trouble. If I were a shopkeeper anywhere near the “mostly peaceful protests” that might erupt, I would just put signs on my storefront saying “Caution. Claymore Mines May Be Present. Have A Nice Day.”
Sorry not sorry.
A dismissal with prejuice and a not guilty verdict would serve the same purpose. However, a dismissal with prejudice would ease a lot of pressure on the jurors, leaving them free to say “If he hadn’t dismissed, I would have voted guilty” in an effort to stave off the mob. Its easier to keep one judge secure than 12 jurors….
Even without the prejudice amendment, it is doubtful the DA could refile…. unless he could find a whole new cast of witnesses that he could not find for this trial.

Another open-thread comment based on something I recently read.
A few days ago, Arnold Kling wrote that “our culture is fragmenting, while our elites are consolidating into a monoculture.” (https://tinyurl.com/jj7tyf8)
I think this simple observation explains a lot of the country’s problems, but I’m not sure which way the causal arrows go.
Judge will submit it to the jury. Today was instructions. Monday is the close. The jury will take less than 60 minutes.
Don’t know if you’ve stumbled over this story yet, but it’s being picked up nationally after an article published the other day by a local AZ news outlet.

Donald McClarey, who has done a certain amount of trial work in 39 years of practice, has said the relaxed postures and lack of note-taking on the part of jurors indicates they’ve made up their minds. Hoping in the right direction.
Andrew Branca’s commentary at Legal Insurrection is not up yet. Failing that, here’s the Daily Mail:
Judge seems to be leaning towards throwing out the weapons charge, with which Branca would agree. The report says the prosecutor was trying to get the judge to permit conviction on lesser charges rather than the ones on which the trial was conducted. Can they do that? The report says it seemed the prosecutor was admitting he hadn’t made his case.
@OldTexan:
Nope… He ate Piers’ Porridge 😛
OK… here’s one for all you ultra-fastidious Boomers who would put on before and then discard a fresh pair of kid gloves after conducting Mendelssohn…. oops I mean after navigating your browsers to Gab.
I get this big empty silence when I mention Gab around her because (I suspect) a bunch of you have been conditioned into thinking that Gab is where the Icky People Are. You know, the mouth-breathing Anti-Semites and all. Well, yep.. of course they’re there. Because it’s a real free speech platform, not a fake controlled oppo one. So you get all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff on Gab.
“Board Certified Family Physician
Vladimir Zev Zelenko, M.D.
Dr. Zelenko graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. degree with high honors in Chemistry from Hofstra University. After receiving an academic scholarship to attend S.U.N.Y. at Buffalo School of Medicine, he earned his M.D. degree in May 2000. Dr. Zelenko completed his family medicine residency at South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside, N.Y. in May 2004. Since then, Dr. Zelenko has practiced family medicine in New York’s Hudson Valley. He has been described by his patients as a family member to thousands of families, and is a medical adviser to the volunteer ambulance corps in Kiryas Joel, New York. In March 2020, Dr. Zelenko’s team was one of the first in the country to successfully treat thousands of Covid-19 patients in the prehospital setting. Dr. Zelenko developed his now famous “Zelenko Protocol,” which has saved countless lives worldwide, while he was fighting recurrent and metastatic sarcoma, had open heart surgery, and aggressive chemotherapy. He has also persevered against unrelenting defamation of character from the media, and threats against his person. Dr. Zelenko is an observant orthodox Jew, married with 8 children, and has authored two books called Metamorphosis and Essence to Essence.”
Remember him from last year? Anyone?
Gab is where you go if you have something to say that other people aren’t going to like. Everywhere else has things you just cannot say.
Did anyone else see this story?
TRAITOR REBELS BREAK INTO THE US EMBASSY in Yemen,
and HOLD the US-hired SECURITY GUARDS HOSTAGE.
Will Biden send the Army, + retake our Embassy, which is US LAND?
…Oh no. That would make the US “look pushy”, so Biden will never do that!
Will Biden send the Army, and [save the security people], who are our foreign ALLIES?
…Oh no. That would make the US look pushy, so Biden will never do that!
Good for you, Joe Biden. The enemies of the US are frightened your military, just like they feared Jimmy Carter’s military, which means- not at all.
