^^ I bet prosecution would be tough (no actual contact), but I'd still like to see it.

I said this earlier, and I'll say it again. The best thing that kid could have done was take a nice 6 month vacation in a nice secluded location until Spring as soon as the trial ended.

No appearances, no interviews, don't even talk to anyone but your parents or attorney. Just disappear for a while.

It would be. If not near impossible.

I'm not going to judge KR for whatever he does next. He's going to be the Kenosha Kid for the rest of his life. In reality if he makes a 'wrong' move or two it's not going to change that. He could disappear for two years or go on speaking tours, either way everyone will still know his name and no one's opinion of him will change.

Good luck Kyle in whatever life brings you.

For Christ sakes he’s 18, how many of us said or did stupid things at 18, without having to go through the trial of your life on a worldwide scale. Let the kid be, his life is going to be hard enough.

^^^ This. He never volunteered to be a symbol. He got caught up in circumstances where he was forced to vindicate the legitimacy of EBR ownership and self-defense in one hostile-as-hell jurisdiction, and he managed to do that for the rest of us. Let him have the rest of his life however he decides to live it.

I will never fault somebody for stepping up and protecting their communities, even if we don't all agree on the fashion in which it was done.

I know some people feel that standing back and watching a city burn is the best option for them, but I'm not the type that could do that, and won't hold it against others who find themselves in that same situation.

Hind sight is 20/20, but in the end a little bit of trash was taken out that night. Perhaps that will dissuade similar trash from stepping out the next time something like that happens again. That's a win for society.

"Kyle has requested that the firearm be destroyed ... There's nothing to celebrate about that weapon; there isn't. Kyle has no interest and no want to recover that weapon, and absolutely no interest to sell it or anything,” David Hancock, a former Navy Seal who serves as the Rittenhouse family’s spokesman, said in a phone interview Tuesday.

However, it may not be up to Rittenhouse.

Under Wisconsin law, firearms seized as part of an investigation are held as evidence by police until the investigation is over.

“Though the case involving Mr. Rittenhouse has been concluded, the firearm is still being held in evidence as Mr. Black’s property until the time his case is resolved,” Sgt. Leo Viola of the Kenosha Police Department said in an email Monday.

In the eyes of the Kenosha Police Department, the rifle is Black’s property — not Rittenhouse’s.

Incorrect. He was actually arrested for trying to intimidate the judge in a non-related case in Minnesota, not anything related to the Rittenhouse jurors:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/kim...ion-court-appearance

quote:
The Black Lives Matter protester charged with intimidating the judge presiding over the trial for former police officer Kim Potter in the shooting of Daunte Wright has been extradited to Minnesota ahead of his first court appearance Tuesday.

Cortez Rice, 32, of Minneapolis, is currently being held at Hennepin County Jail on a $50,000 bond, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office tells Fox News Digital. His first court appearance is scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. CT.

Rice was taken into custody on Nov. 30 after Wisconsin State Patrol pulled him over for speeding on a freeway, court records show. He was allegedly operating without a valid driver’s license. He was transported Monday night from Waukesha County Jail back to Minnesota.

Rice is charged with felony harassment with aggravated violations, tampering with a juror and retaliating against a judicial officer, in connection to a Nov. 6 protest at an apartment building he and other demonstrators believed to be where Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu lives.

Chu initially issued an order banning cameras from the courtroom from the trial, prompting Rice and other protesters to show up on Nov. 6 to an apartment building in downtown Minneapolis, according to the criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital.

While other protesters remained outside, Rice entered the building while livestreaming himself on YouTube, "thus recording his comments in addition to the demands made by the group to reverse the order," the criminal complaint first unsealed on Friday says.

Once in the hallway outside a 12th floor unit, Rice states, "We’s tight on her a**. We on her heels. What she think… we want camera. The people deserve to know."

"I don’t know if this is her crib. I think this is her crib right here," Rice continues, while standing outside the door of Chu’s assumed unit. "We got confirmation that this is here house right here."

He also added that he is "waiting for the gang to get up here."

Once back down in the lobby, another protester asks him if they are at the correct location and Rice responds, "That’s her sh** right there. She can hear us." Rice joins the other protesters again outside and tells others in the crowd where he believes Chu’s apartment is located.

"That b**** looking at us," he says. "That’s her window on the 12th floor."

Calling out Chu’s name, Rice then shouts, "We demand transparency. We’d hate you to get kicked out of your apartment." A different protester says the demonstration is a "trial run" and they’d be back.

Interviewed by police afterward, Chu told investigators "she believed she was the target of the Defendant and the other protesters," the complaint says. "She further stated that it was her belief the intention was to intimidate her and to interfere with the judicial process."

It’s unclear if that apartment was where Chu currently lived or if she was present at the time.

Chu had initially ruled in August that she would not allow recording or livestreaming of Potter’s trial. Days after the incident involving protesters targeting what was believed to be her home, the judge cited the state of the coronavirus pandemic and the delta variant in her reversal in now permitting the livestream.

In changing course about the livestream, Chu wrote in her Nov. 9 ruling that the timing of the protest was unfortunate but had no impact on her decision. She affirmed, "The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we must have an independent judiciary and judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing, protests or attempts at intimidation."

We (nationwide) do need to stream all trials, almost always.

Too much behind the scenes shit goes sideways. Too many side deals. Too many lies.

Too many people in positions of power can't be trusted, too many abuses of power.

The system is definitely broken in a dozen ways.

But harassing judges and going to their homes is unacceptable and monumentally stupid, as is most of the protest tactics and all that. Fuck those guys...

But the points are absolutely valid, just the same.

Put bodycams on judges, and DAs, record and make available every interview, have independent oversight panels, whatever it takes to expel the crookedness and fuckery out of the machine itself, at all levels. It's a hot mess now and long has been.

Lead by example. Be beyond good. Err on the side of liberty and justice for all.

Perhaps. What of jurors? Should they be covered as well, or should they be kept completely anonymous?

I’d expect that “outing” jurists might lead to fears of if not outright intimidation.
