2. More likely charge, if charged federally, is violation of civil rights IMO.

There have been state court defendants acquitted on murder charges who later were tried in federal court for violation of civil rights and found guilty.

What Is a Hate or Bias Crime?

The definition of hate and bias crime laws varies from state to state. But, in general, it is a crime committed against an individual because of the victim's actual or perceived:

race
color
ethnicity
religion
ancestry or national origin
gender
disability, or
sexual orientation.

Some hate crime legislation also protects people based on homelessness, gender identity or expression, or political affiliation.

IMO, it could be a tough charge to win on "hate crime" as a violation of civil rights, but maybe it's time to bring one re Rittenhouse and thus, again IMO, his Proud Boys Association and his White Power signs possibly could be used against him to prove up a hate crime.

Something needs to be done or, IMO, it's open season on liberals who protest -- whatever color, creed and/or sexual orientation he/she or they may be.
