Has the county DA charged anyone else that was arrested with regard to the riots? I know some were rolled up by the feds, but I want to know if the prosecutors are politically motivated or not.

That's an easy one. All DAs really care about is percentage of prosecutions that lead to convictions. That includes pleas. They want to say they have a 85% or 90% conviction rate or whatever it is. So they primarily go after low hanging fruit. What's an easy conviction? It may become political when certain kinds of cases, or cases with media coverage pressure them into taking a case they would rather not take because of the risk of losing. I highly doubt these DAs want to bring this case and have their names in lights if they can't get a decent conviction.
If there were rioters arrested and they are open-and-shut cases, I have no doubt the DA's will take as many as they can get to pad their stats, but something tells me in such a chaotic situation saying who did what might not be easy.
Well. I just got this hit from USAToday:
Among the 165 [arrested]:
59 were from Kenosha (roughly in line with the ratio in the post and news release)
60 were from elsewhere in Wisconsin, mostly Milwaukee (23) and Racine (14)
28 were from Illinois, the border of which is about 6 miles from the heart of the protests
11 were from Washington and Oregon
7 were from elsewhere (Kentucky, Minnesota, Indiana and California, as well as three listed by police as homeless)
The Washington and Oregon residents are largely related to a Seattle-based group called Riot Kitchen, which provides meals for protesters and homeless people.
The founder of the Lake County chapter of Black Lives Matter has been charged in Wisconsin with a felony count of attempted battery dating to Aug. 24, when protests rocked Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
An arrest warrant was issued Friday in Kenosha County for Clyde J. McLemore, 62, of Zion, on charges of aggravated battery or threats to a judge, prosecutor or law enforcement officer, as well as a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, according to Kenosha County Circuit Court records.
So, I think with that one example we can conclude the DA’s office is acting non-politically. I’ve seen a lot made of Binger and his political motivations, but the DA’s office seems to be approaching malfeasance neutrally.

Have you found out if anyone was convicted? What ultimately happened to the people who caused all this property damage to local businesses?
We know in the short run, Kamala was bailing out anyone who participated in the riots while visiting Jacob Blake in the hospital to show her support for his case and his actions. On the flip side of the coin you have Facebook suspending the accounts of those who attempted to set up a Gofundme for the Rittenhouse defense fund because in Zuckerberg's mind Rittenhouse wasn't worthy of legal defense or bail.

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
This video shows a better shot of Rosenbaum trying to kick Rittenhouse in the head Marquis Love style while Rittenhouse was in a prone position.

I’m still trying to find if charges were filed against any of those arrested. Also, note that 20 firearms were seized.

Wow, so 20 rioters were armed and yet no one got shot. Kinda throws shade on the "they wanted me dead" ploy. Like the one armed man said, he didn't shoot Rittenhouse because he's not that kind of person.

The narrative of white supremacists like yourself killing black people with impunity isn't a made up narrative.
Show me the evidence that Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist? The talking heads on the left are going to pay for this
Rittenhouse is a blind cult follower at the Church of Trump, which only became a national movement after Trump's racist rant against Mexicans. Most Trump supporters are racists, they just live in denial about it while the many of them are open about it. Any 17 year old who shows up at Trump rallies and worships the police has to have serious mental issues and is a bigot. Besides, he's also been caught shamelessly throwing up "white power" hand gestures with the Proud Boys after he was released from jail.

So? Why are you acting like this is new information? Hardly surprising that the biggest liar in the media, Sean Hannity, would idolize Kyle's derelict Mom and make her a celebrity in an attempt to lie about your President. Biden never called Kyle Rittenhouse a White Supremacist, but the previous President did pay $100,000 for a full page ad in the NYT calling for the death penalty for five innocent BLACK teenagers who were acquitted. That is infinitely more disparaging, and could have resulted in five dead kids. But you're not worried about any of that because those kids were black, whereas Kyle is as white as they get.

That's a right wing lie you're vomiting here because Kamala is black, and a woman, and you're a Nazi. She never once said anything about bailing out "rioters." She was referring to peaceful protesters as hundreds of them were arrested over the summer during the BLM protests. You're just so desperately trying to make every one of the 80+ million protesters "rioters" because that gets a rise out of your white supremacist base and encourages them to go shoot more people. And she wasn't "supporting his actions," that's just another racist lie being fomented by a Nazi again. Every time a cop kills or tries to kill a black man, you're immediately making excuses for the Blue and bringing up criminal history as if that has anything to do with the fact that cops kill black citizens with impunity. Do we really need to show the dozens of examples where white criminals who commit actual murder and are even firing on cops, somehow are able to walk away from the scene unharmed?

It was Gofundme.com that suspended the account for Kyle, not Facebook. Facebook has been Conservative Media's best friend, you folks on the Right are just too stupid to understand this. https://www.salon.com/2021/06/12/facebo ... e_partner/

"He was chasing me, I was alone, he threatened to kill me earlier that night. I didn't want to have to shoot him," Rittenhouse testified. "I pointed it at him because he kept running at me and I didn't want him to chase me."
So all your moaning about Grosskreutz pointing a gun at him doesn't negate the fact that Kyle Rittenhouse was willing to kill people based on nothing more than assumptions.
Rittenhouse is a blind cult follower at the Church of Trump, which only became a national movement after Trump's racist rant against Mexicans.

Why would a white supremacist go to a BLM rally and choose to shoot 3 white mean? Wouldn't a white supremacist shoot the black people there first?
And yes the media has been calling Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist since day one. They're going to regret that shortly when the civil suits begin.
