Rittenhouse Poll, jury decision: guilty or not guilty???

[CincyDem]

5. I voted what I think will happen...not what I wish would happen.

I listened to a lot of the trial. Aside from the judge being in the defense's pocket for most of the trial, it felt like the prosecution waited for their close to make their most cogent argument...you can't claim self defense when you provoke the situation that might necessitate self defense.

I don't know - feels to me like he went to Kenosha loaded to do a little human hunting and that's exactly what he did. But all we need is one of twelve to be a gun owner who believes that anything ya do with a gun should be legal and above question. I know that's not the opinion of many/most gun owners but enough of them (especially in Wisconsin) that make me feel like the boy's headed home for thanksgiving with a clean slate.

argh. I so desperately want to be wrong about this.
