Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
IMO, this has nothing to do with the trial and everything to do with containing violence.
The city on pace to exceed last year’s homicide numbers. It will be a record that hasn’t been seen since the early 90’s.
We really need a course correction now.
Rittenhouse trial prosecuting-attorney has made defense attorney’s job much easier.
Maybe if the media did an honest job reporting on the trial instead of feeding us one-sided blurbs with zero context, we wouldn’t have to brace for anything.
If you haven’t learned by now the media is the enemy of the Republic, whoever owns it and as well as it’s army of bolshevik “journalists”.
I’ve been reading the coverage on CNN and MSNBC and in spite of the testimony it’s still very biased. They totally contradict the video evidence. It amazes me that the people that frequent those sites are so naïve.
These days there aren’t many CNN and MSNBC viewers. Reruns of SpongeBob and Teen Mom have larger audiences than most of the shows on those two channels.
My personal opinion is that Rittenhouse won’t be found guilty but he won’t be acquitted either. It will be a hung jury. My guess is in Kenosha county – a county that Trump barely won – there’s likely one or two antifa sympathizers on the jury that will refuse to acquit despite 10-11 other jurors pressuring them to do so. The judge will find a hung jury after 3 or 4 days when it can’t reach a verdict. Just listen to the callers on the radio, the commenters on the internet, and the pundits, all saying the same thing: he… Read more »
This has been going on for a very long time. After OJ was acquitted, all bets were off in terms of blind justice.
This trial has had several prosecution witnesses who’ve instead become “star” witness testimonial for Rittenhouse’s claim of self-defense. Prosecuting attorney office has done poor job of presenting case, because it seems charges were inappropriate given witness statements and FBI-procured taped-footage. Not much substance for a guilty verdict; even if jury finds Rittenhouse guilty, judge probably would overturn verdict on basis of presented case-material.
That said, yes, Christmas is coming, shop-lifting has been legitimized as “protest”, and so another riot spree of concentrated looting should be expected shortly.
Burn, Loot, Murder is hoping for a few more free shopping days if Rittenhouse is acquitted.
Loot early and avoid the Christmas rush.
Whatever happened to the term “looters will be shot”?
It would be great if that was allowed. I guarantee that all looting and burning would stop in 5 minutes.
The thugs are hoping for acquittal. They want to tear up what’s left of the Mug Mile and steal high end purses for their baby mommas. Time to blow off some steam and break some glass.
Hmmmm…..A white guy shot some other white guys. Maybe tell us the real story? The mob is out to intimidate the jury. They’re cancelling days off so everyone can have a ringside seat. Toni is letting them out for weekend shopping. This whole Rittenhouse mess was orchestrated by the media.
The press and Biden called him a white supremacist and that he was guilty, long before his trial. Anyone surrounded by three armed people pointing and intending to kill you would have defended themselves the same way. The most basic right any human or animal in the wild has, is the right to defend their life if its threatened. Democrats know that is the right, when taken away, will abolish the 2nd amendment.
