Ferrets are Cool

Where is Kyle Rittenhouse? We still don't know.

Prosecutors seeking to increase Kyle Rittenhouse’s $2 million bond said Thursday that the ability of the Kenosha, Wisc., shooter to “roam freely” before trial is “extremely rare for an accused murderer” and argued his address should be made public. But his defense attorneys argue that housing Rittenhouse in a secret safe house is necessary to protect his life.

Richards, who did not respond to requests for comment, has not denied in court filings that Rittenhouse failed to alert the court to his new address until the issue spilled out into public view. He instead cited threats and said his client has remained in constant touch with his attorneys throughout the process.

Asked to provide copies of the threats, Pierce said he could not immediately produce them because “it would take days to organize,” adding that they are spread over Facebook, Twitter, email and voice-mail messages on multiple devices of different parties.

“I wouldn’t even know where to start,” he said. He characterized the messages as threatening “nasty and serious bodily harm.”

"Asked to provide copies of the threats, Pierce said he could not immediately produce them because “it would take days to organize,” adding that they are spread over Facebook, Twitter, email and voice-mail messages on multiple devices of different parties."

If the threats were real, the lawyer would have zero trouble in producing them.

I cannot wait for this pissant to get the book thrown at him, and no, I'm not worried that a tRump crowd will let him off.

But you will be found and brought to justice. You cannot hide for the rest of your life. We know what you did. There will always be someone looking for you. You will always feel hunted. You're still a very young kid so the hunt will continue and you will always be a hunted criminal no matter how long you are on the lam.


WE WILL FIND YOU!
