Anyone want to understand the failings of money bail? Look no further: strong evidence of a white shooter motivated by racial bias committing a double murder with an assault rifle. But wealth sets him free.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/11/20/kyle-rittenhouse-accused-kenosha-shooter-released-2-million-bail/6363593002/ …

Wrong he was assaulted in every single case, multiple persons can be heard on video calling for his death, and one of his attackers even tried to execute him with a hand gun. Case one he was physically assaulted, case two he was assaulted with a skate board, case 3 execution

The man who tried to "execute him" was legally carrying that gun. Rittenhouse had already shot 2 other people. Why is it that he isn't seen as defending himself? He never shot his gun. 1/2

He might have been legally carrying, but he pursued a fleeing Rittenhouse. When you pursue someone who is fleeing, you pretty much lose self defense posture.

And you can also lose your self-defense posture if you are committing a crime in the first place. ie illegally carrying a firearm. That is why this case is so difficult. He also wasn't chasing him. He was trying to disarm KR after he shot 2 other people and KR had his gun raised

Again I am not saying the initial victims were justified in their actions nor am I saying KR wasn't justified in his feeling threatened. I am saying there are a lot of factors to this case.

"lot of factors" smells like reasonable doubt. And he was not illegally carrying, and even if so, not up to Antifa chomos to assault & disarm him. R did not randomly shoot people - he was assaulted and chased first.

Your implicit bias is showing. Lots of factors isn't always reasonable doubt. Its nuance about the law and what evidence is and is not admissible in court. Whether or not the plaintiff has a juvenile record. This is a legal matter it is NOT a political issue in court.

Juvenile records, indeed all criminal records, rarely admissible in court. And seeing as how these charges are themselves political posturing by elected DA, it is a political issue. When DA is elected, there are political dimensions to all charge/no charge decisions.

The victims records will not come into play because there was no way for KR to know they were criminals when he shot them. His record would come into play in sentencing, mostly if he has a violent history. I suspect he doesn't.
