Binger & Krause were a disaster!
“They lied from minute one and Richards called them out!”

Interesting discussion about YouTube cutting the on-line commentators’ live-streams to drop their viewer totals – PBS was running way behind Rikieta and picked up viewers when they were suppressed. The public backlash was immediate and relentless.

I am resisting my OCD impulse to transcribe the whole thing, but it’s definitely a struggle.
I’m looking forward to seeing some of the memes Barnes mentioned on this week’s TWIP at Powerline.

Just noting some of the on-screen chatting (some read aloud, and some not):
(1) This case is a good example of a saying in Europe: “If state prosecutors were really in search of the truth, defense attorneys would be unemployed.”
(2) Would the jury have been justified in giving Binger a beating and would the bailiff let him take it on Kraus’ advice? — well, “he did provoke the jury by pointing a gun at them.”
(3) If they find Kyle guilty they don’t realize the hell they will unleash from ppl who take their final black pill.
(4) It’s interesting how the Rittenhouse trial has done more to convince America of the corruption of the system than a year of rioting.
(we hope)
(5) Is no one going to mention the fact that Kyle was protecting the business of non-white owners? Where is the mainstream media on that fact? Barnes: They have deliberately omitted that the owners are immigrant & minority.
(6) If Alec Baldwin gets tried .. how many strings will he pull to get Binger as his prosecutor? (The best of the Baldwin bunch, and there were a lot.)
(7) from “Ginger Ninja”: Binger – you must carry every possible weapon with you, and if someone confronts you…you must defend with whatever weapon they are using to attack you. NOW SPAR.
(8) The same people arguing that Kyle was unjustified in shooting in self-defense (the) people (who were) trying to harm him are the same ones saying Ashli Babbitt deserved it.
(Not discussed by F&B, right at the end of the show, but certainly accurate.)

Both have a lot of faith in the honorable Kenoshans making the right decision.
HOWEVER –
Barnes predicted an acquittal would happen on Tuesday – so this delay is not good.

Frei predicts that there will not be violence regardless of verdict – we will see.

He also said, to a question about Canada ever doing it: Broadcast trials are a good thing for justice…you get to see chicanery afoot and prosecutorial misconduct in real time.

Barnes called Schroeder a Honey Badger.

#DisbarBinger

Barnes said the defense didn’t object, and that was a smart move because it was a trap the prosecutor set for the defense. He said it’s his opinion that Binger wanted Richards to object because then it would highlight how very dangerous it is to even point an unloaded gun at someone, and that would be to the prosecution’s benefit.

He also said the pointed gun was a reminder to the jury that they were in danger if they didn’t act as Binger wanted.

A good start

With any luck, it was a strategically bad decision. He probably hoped to scare the jury with the realization of what it feels like to have a gun pointed at you — an experience most of us probably haven’t had. But the jury may also have paid attention to WHO was pointing that gun, and may well resent being treated that way for dramatic reasons. I hope so.

I mean, there’s VIDEO. Anyone blaming him has to be completely incapable of putting themselves honestly in his shoes. In the Zimmerman case, at least you can imagine the jury flatly disbelieving the testimony that Martin was smashing his head and reaching for his gun. How does the jury get past the video in this case? As far as I can tell, only by persuading themselves that he “brought it on himself” by carrying a gun in the first place. Appalling.

I have been kicked in the back, knocked to the ground and kicked in the face. I have been hit in the back of the head with brick thrown by someone who intended to hit me in the back of the head with a brick. It hurt. A lot.

In fact “he”‘s redlining it.
Should be pretty obvious why….
(Hint: UNITY!)

Jonathan Turley, on his twitter feed, says he can’t see how the jury could possibly convict on any of the remaining charges.

Protesters are already shouting at each other outside the courthouse.

Not to worry, though. They did it for the bestest of reasons!! (Along with all the rest of ’em in PA, in MI, in GA, in NV, in AZ, etc….)
