Re: Kyle Rittenhouse, Kenosha, Wisconsin update thread.
Important to note that according to the linked report, the pictured individual is also a convicted felon. Wonder if he is facing any gun charges?

Donations flood in to support police officer fired for $25 contribution to Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund
by Carly Ortiz-Lytle, Social Media Producer - May 01, 2021
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...ense-fund-hack
More than 1,500 people donated to a fundraiser for a police officer who was fired for contributing to Kyle Rittenhouse*s defense fund.
The fund to support William Kelly, a Norfolk, Virginia, police lieutenant who was fired after the names of those who donated to Rittenhouse were revealed, had reached more than $60,000 as of Saturday afternoon.
Representatives of GiveSendGo started the campaign to right *an injustice we see happening right before our eyes.*
Kelly made the donation to the defense fund on Christian crowdfunding website GiveSendGo, writing: *God bless. Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. You*ve done nothing wrong. Every rank and file police officer supports you. Don*t be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership.*
Distributed Denial of Secrets, which describes itself as a * transparency collective,* revealed the identities of some of those who had donated to the Rittenhouse legal defense fund despite those donors using the website's anonymity feature.
Kelly was placed on administrative leave following the revelation. City Manager Chip Filer said an investigation found that the $25 donation made by Kelly violated city and departmental policies. Kelly has the right to appeal his termination, according to City of Norfolk policy and local law.
*His egregious comments erode the trust between the Norfolk Police Department and those they are sworn to serve,* Filer said. *The City of Norfolk has a standard of behavior for all employees, and we will hold staff accountable.*
After a $10 donation from a paramedic in Utah was revealed, Jason Nguyen, a local journalist, knocked on his door seeking information. The reporter*s tweet about the incident went viral, and Nguyen's actions were condemned as *frightening and un-American.*
Rittenhouse was charged with two counts of first-degree homicide, one count of attempted homicide, possessing a weapon while under the age of 18, and reckless endangerment in connection with the shootings which occurred amid unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, said he traveled to Kenosha to protect businesses from rioters. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Re: Kyle Rittenhouse, Kenosha, Wisconsin update thread.
Thank you for the heads-up, first I'd heard of it.
Anyone else have $0.02 to share on how the "speedy trial" concept should apply here?
I'm of the opinion that if the accused wants to go to trial, it needs to be done in a month or two, tops. On one hand there is something to be said for letting the hype die down, and both sides doing some research, gathering evidence, etc., so the court can make a solid decision on guilt. OTOH, I find it really friggin hard to believe that waiting 15 months serves the interests of justice. Human memory isn't really reliable that far out anyway, so as far as I'm convinced, it just gives the government more time to engage in bribery, "getting the stories straight", and witness intimidation. I read somewhere recently there's a 90 something percent conviction rate in most courts- if that's true, doesn't sound like justice to me. That sounds like a system that's decided you're guilty long before the trial ever happens.They even have minds but do not think. -Dov Fischer

Rittenhouse is toast. No way he walks from this. He will do serious prison time. Perhaps the only thing going for him is that he was a juvie when he was arrested.

Re: Kyle Rittenhouse, Kenosha, Wisconsin update thread.
There's undisputed video of the defendant being chased, assaulted, hit in the head with a skateboard, outnumbered by lawless thugs, and one of the guys he shot dropped his handgun when shot. Other video shows that the thugs targeted him because he used a fire extinguisher to put out their dumpster fire after they weaponized a dumpster. He was carrying 1st aid gear, and using it. Police on the scene blocked him from returning to his friends, trapping him among the rioters.
