I hope the tears were real. I hope killing people made an impact on him. I hope he feels awful about it and that it haunts him forever, and not just because he's in trouble. Maybe he does have a conscience.
If people actually watched his testimony they'd know he only began bawling when describing how people were running after him. It had nothing to do with grief over killing members of his own species.

Here’s a bit:
Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder has already displayed quite a bit of eyebrow-raising behavior, but one particularly unbelievable moment shared between the 75-year-old and the defense team has left the internet utterly speechless.

At one point during the hearing, one of the defendant's attorneys made the strange argument that prosecutors' use of iPads to show photos should not be allowed because Apple somehow tampers with the images.

Using a variety of techy "buzz" words he could not define, the lawyer explained to the judge, "I don't know what the state's gonna do next, but I suspect that it's something along the lines of they're going to use the iPad, and [Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger] was talking about pinching the screen?"

"iPads, which are made by Apple, have artificial intelligence in them that allow things to be viewed through three dimensions and logarithms," he went on, prompting someone from across the room to ask for clarification.

"Logarithms?" he reiterated, putting his hands up. "I don't understand it all, either. And it uses artificial intelligence – or their logarithms – to create what they believe is happening."

"So this isn't actually enhanced video," he argued. "This is Apple's iPad programing creating what it thinks is there, not what necessarily is there. And I don't know what's gonna happen."

If that weren't enough to light the internet on fire, the judge decided to whip out his phone – which has become quite a talking point during the trial – and tell the whole courtroom that he does not know how to save text messages.

The point of the bizarre announcement remains unclear, and many on social media are demanding to know its relevance to the case.

"I don't know how to save text messages," Schroeder declared proudly from behind the bench. "I haven't figured that out, and I haven't... You know, I have a lot of things that I'm doing, so that's a low priority for me to figure out how to save a text message."

Using his thumb and an index finger, he attempted to pinch something on his phone screen. "And it's just," he noted dramatically, "a blur."

Rittenhouse isn't going to become a millionaire because of libel suits because there really is no case for libel against him. Even if people were lying about him he is now a public figure and so his attorney would have to prove malice, which isn't going to happen.

He's going to become a millionaire by feeding off the adoration from the Right. They love giving their money away to pet icons. They're still dumping money into Trump's coffers because they're really that stupid.

After $1 billion in property damage, don't be surprised if people start to step up and defend what belongs to them.
Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't a business owner, so you're just out in left field again. No one is criticizing business owners for defending their businesses. But it does still remain unlawful to use lethal force to protect property.

Not only that, but the actual owners of that car lot didn’t ask Rittenhouse or anyone else to defend their property.

He’ll be asked to speak at the next Republican convention. He’ll also be offered guest spots on Fox and/or OANN. He’ll also sell merch that will eagerly be snapped up by Trump fans.

So he lied about being EMT, and he lied about being asked to protect a business.

He went to protect business owners and property from BLM arsonists, vandals, and looters because the police force could not, would not, or simply weren't allowed not to do so.

Check out this 71 year old man attempting unsuccessfully to protect his business from being burned down by BLM rioters and getting his jaw broken in the process. At what point should this man have been allowed to draw his gun and shoot his attackers?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9KQGAT5IDw

What if it were me burning down illegal immigrant houses and you knew the police were not going to do anything about it because the politics of the time dictated that? Would you just stand by and film it or would you try to physically stop me. Because if you attempt to stop me, a reasonable person should be able to foresee that this is very likely to escalate to you having to kill me. Even if I'm running you down and grabbing for your gun, or I smash your head with a skateboard twice, you're still a murderer worthy of life in prison because you brought the gun to my illegal immigrant house burning protest of lack of border enforcement and had no business being there in the first place.
Is Schmo on trial or is Kyle?
It's an honest question. What is an atheists definition of a conscience. I'm guessing it's not the light of Christ.
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.

Except that he left the car lot, and when he decided to return, he was asked to not remain on the property by the police.

Which leaves him looking like - to everyone else’s eyes - a rando walking the streets carrying a long gun.

Did he not stay with his militia friends?

As you’re fond of mentioning all sorts of off-topic incidents in these threads, I might point out to you that Ahmaud Arbery merely ran through the wrong neighborhood on his jog. He wasn’t carrying any firearm at all. Just ‘running while black’. That alone was enough for a couple of good ol’ boys to run him off the road with their truck, and then shoot him dead.

But, Rittenhouse? Walking around in the midst of chaos while actually holding a long gun? Well, everyone should have just assumed that he was there to bring order and peace. Right? ; )

You’re right. Real conscience oftentimes has little or nothing to do with Christ.

What exactly is it then?
