Rittenhouse Day 2 /1
I began watching Rittenhouse trial on YouTube, yesterday. I am 4 days behind real time, but coverage and reporting of the trial on cable news and news services has been limited.
Our national culture war is played out dramatically in this courtroom.

Rittenhouse Day 2/2
Wisconsin is a raging battleground state fir our culture war.
White Supremacy is cherished by close to half the state. Populism, both left and right, has been a strong strain since LaFollette.
Guns are wildly popular, with open carry readily practiced.

Rittenhouse Day 2/3
The background for the fatal shootings &severe wounding is George Floyd Murder protests in Kenosha, prompted by the police shooting of AfAm Jacob Blake, 5 times in his back, by white cops in front of his children.

Rittenhouse Day 2/4
BLM marchers were overwhelmingly peaceful &unarmed.
Resentment of the multicultural protests was widespread,shown by uniformly white counter protesters,many of whom were armed w/AR-15s &handguns.
The protests were polluted by violent rioters who started fires.

Rittenhouse Day 2/5
Police were reticent to control the violence as the protests were about excessive police violence &racism.
The uncontrolled riots and drew crowds of vigilantes,armed to the teeth.
Yet, it’s undisputed that the only fatal shootings were by Defendant Rittenhouse

Rittenhouse Day 2/6
Testimony on Day 2 began with Mr. Elijah on the stand, an AfAm free lance videographer and Social Media “influencer”.
He is equally articulate as Tucker Carlson’s videographer.
He makes an effort to be objective and factual while presenting video of defendant.

Rittenhouse Day 2/7
Elijah walked behind Rittenhouse at the scene. He describes defendant’s demeanor as “nervous”, chain smoking, wearing gloves, young and seemingly unaware of everyone’s circumstances. Video he took of defendant is displayed.

Rittenhouse Day 2/8
Evidence rulings by Judge Schroeder continue to be eccentric.
Within the culture war, Judge Schroeder has a comfort level classifying Rittenhouse shooting victims as rioters.

Rittenhouse Day 2/9
Both the prosecutor and, especially, defense counsel,are given broad latitude to testify &ask witness to agree,rather than elicit testimony from the witnesses.
The jury is told by counsel that the complaining witnesses (decedents) chased defendant.

Rittenhouse Day 2/10
A videographer refers to vigilantes armed with AR-15s scoped with laser Las on rooftops as “militia”.
That term is prejudicial to the state, as vigilantes are not militia within the meaning of The Constitution.

Rittenhouse Day 2/11
Oddly, it is the prosecutor who argues to be allowed to present that narration prejudicial to the state’s case to the jury.
While, defense counsel argues against admitting the “militia” label in evidence.

Rittenhouse Day 2/12
The video presented on Day 2 is the most visceral &graphic.
Rosenbaum is shot 4 times at blank range.
Rittenhouse shot &killed Anthony Huber, 26, a protester from Silver Lake, Wisconsin, who was seen on bystander video hitting Rittenhouse with a skateboard.

Rittenhouse Day 2/13
Rittenhouse then wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, a protester from West Allis, Wwho had a gun in his hand as he stepped toward Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse blew away his left bicep.
Tourniquets and quick paramedic attention, none by Rittenhouse, saved Grosskreutz

Rittenhouse Day 2/14
No one, has yet asked whether a 17 year-old minor has any legitimate function at a protest March carrying an AR-15.
It was illegal for good reason, apparently lost on Judge.
White conservative men do not have unlimited gun rights and no license to kill.

Rittenhouse Day 2/15
Witness Koerri Elijah was asked how to hold a skate board as a weapon to hit someone in the head,apparently because he’s black &uses a skateboard.

Rittenhouse Day 2/16
Despite the graphic video of Rittenhouse repeatedly shooting, killing &maiming people,the trial is framed by the judge as a trial of WI’s near universal open carry culture,white vigilantism,Black Lives Matter protests &default by police to white citizens.

Rittenhouse Day 2 /17
A further oddity of the public performance of Judge Schroeder is his bemoaning of criticism of his evidence rulings by nat’l legal experts.
Schroeder blasted CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin for disagreeing w/his departure from settled law, during argument of a motion.
