The murder trial of young Kyle Rittenhouse, the only noteworthy prosecution to come out of the 2020 Kenosha riots, has become a surrogate for a war that the American Left has long tried to keep under the radar: the war against the concept of self-defense.

The Left finds itself in a quandary. They cannot say “you have no right to self-defense” in so many words. They must get there in another way, a roundabout way, but one in keeping with their longstanding effort to defang America’s police departments. Create technicality acquittals, and erect restrictive rules of engagement for police. Build red-tape barriers to keep private security guards from being armed and trained. Overrule the castle doctrine in the courtroom. Build in so many restrictions to self-defense that it becomes a toothless defense.

Fascinating...

The author ignored that the "only noteworthy prosecution" as he put it also came with the only instance where someone who looks like the pillsbury dough boy murdered two people. .

He acted in self defense, period. But maybe the BLM/Antifa thugs threating violence if a not guilty verdict is reached would give jurors second thoughts.

a war that the American Left has long tried to keep under the radar: the war against the concept of self-defense.

Of course, Eag, because with the concept of self-defense comes two other very related terrible things: autonomy and self-determination.

And autonomous people are free, not victims;--- they have little need for big government leftist-programs, which puts democrats out of business.

The first guy he murdered never touched him and was unarmed.

Never understood why there is a jury.

You've got a judge. The judge makes the call, can change their mind, and doesn't need a jury to make a decision.

So WHY are there juries?

If I were a judge, I wouldn't allow juries. Don't give a shit if it's your "right", it's a waste of tax payers money.

Once the judge has heard the evidence before the court even opens, 90% of the time they've already made up their mind.

Juries are useless.
