Liberals Pounce on Andy Ngo for Posting Inconvenient Facts on Suspect in Waukesha Car-Plowing Massacre

James Fetzerblog

Posted by Stacey Matthews “Sorry, not sorry for reporting on who Darrell Brooks is,” Ngo tweeted in response to liberal attacks including one from Daily Beast reporter Robert Silverman.   Independent journalist Andy Ngo is routinely subjected to harassment, hate, and sometimes even brutality from the radical left because he’s unafraid to report on the inconvenient truths about violent Antifa and Black Lives Matter mobs that frequently go unreported by the mainstream media. The MSM views both groups as selfless heroes committed to advancing democracy or whatever despite the reality of the situation being just the opposite.…

Robert S. Griffin, Ph.D., Thoughts on Kenosha

James Fetzerblog

Robert S. Griffin, Ph.D. This is being written the day after the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.  I assume you know the basics of the case.  Over the past year, I paid about as much attention to the case as the average person, no more than that.  It was streaming the trial the past couple of weeks that got me thinking.   This is to share some of what has come up for me for your consideration. I was impressed with Rittenhouse on the stand and his two…

RSN Debate: Adam Serwer, Of Course Kyle Rittenhouse Was Acquitted

James Fetzerblog

Adam Serwer/The Atlantic 20 november 21 [Editor’s note: When I ran across this on RSN (Reader Supported News, a familiar left-wing website), I thought it was poorly reasoned and seriously distorted with regard to the facts of the case, the applicable law, and the criteria for self-defense. So I thought I would engage. Not warmly received. Still going on.] It is one thing to argue that the jury reached a reasonable verdict based on the law, and another entirely to celebrate Rittenhouse’s actions. The United States is a nation awash…

Andrew Branca, Suspect a Rogue Juror, #54, Foreperson, is Holding Back Acquittal

James Fetzerblog

Andrew Branca Hello, Today completed the third day of jury deliberations in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, with no verdict being achieved before the jury was sent home for the day. There wasn’t much real action today, with the exception of a couple of notable events, and my own increasing belief that we’re dealing with a single hold-out juror for guilt, and that this juror is #54, the foreperson.

The Kyle Rittenhouse Prosecutor’s Case Comes Down to Rioting Good, Self-Defense Bad

James Fetzerblog

By Eddie Scarry The bulk of Thomas Binger’s questioning of Rittenhouse on Wednesday assumed that unless a person has physically touched you, there is no reason to protect yourself with force that may prove deadly.   [Editor’s note: I liked Scarry’s theme so much that I adapted it for a Letter to the Editor of the Wisconsin State Journal, which published a piece, “Guilty or Innocent, Rittenhouse was wrong“, the title of which they have changed in the on-line version, as follows (knowing full well that this left-leaning paper was unlikely to…

James Fetzerblog

Eric Striker A 17-year-old boy was charged with murder in the first degree after opening fire on three anarchist rioters in two seperate incidents. The accused, Kyle Rittenhouse, is from Antioch, Illinois, just 21 miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Footage obtained by anti-extremism watchdog AntifaWatch shows the first shooting. In the video, a masked man named Joseph D. Rosenbaum is shown chasing…
