We see how the left is not accepting the likely verdict well and con's have a right to safety from the mob, as well. While the left is unlikely to show up with guns it will be interesting to see their reaction. We will lose Biden's support if another Floyd-style protest happens. It would help, I think, if protesters reported those breaking windows, burning police stations, or tagging buildings to the police stationed everywhere. We need to return to Occupy-style protests or we will just be seen as violent but not as ballsy about it as gQP (I've been involved in countless protests, including Vegas Occupy in which we closed The Strip, and would have reported anyone doing such stuff with a full description or pic of them).

The US worships a constitution that not only allows but authorizes an armed militia for the purpose of protection of a free state against the federal government, then is oh so surprised when this sort of shit happens pitting one bunch of fanatics and oppressed morons against one another on the very "right"
to keep and use the very weapons of death they are both seeking to protect.
What ever the outcome of this trial you WILL have gun toting idiots taking to the the street willing to kill for the assurance of the right to not be killed or the right to kill if they think they will be killed or the right to pose the threat to kill in protection of property which is obviously worth so much more than life and limb especially if that property is their fucking Gun!

This is a very interesting take on the case:

I fear Rittenhouse getting off will only incentivize the gun-happy "militia" to start shooting more recklessly, and that's who they will need the National Guard control for.

If, by some miracle, the jury sees through the judge's bs and justice is served, the Governor may need to call out more than 500 members of the Guard to handle the right wing nut jobs.

Good it will keep the right wing assholes down
