This is just a standard ruling by a judge doing his job correctly. It's a good sign for the defendant, because as we've particularly Dem judges can be very politically biased. Calling those shot "victims" would presupposed Rittenhouse's guilt. That would prejudice the trial.

It is funny watching Cenk and Ana on tit go apeshit over this standard ruling which upholds presumption of innocence.

It's disturbing how everything is getting so sectarian. So sectarian, that leftist commentators have a big stake in this case of a guy who shot some pedo rioters. They're demanding that all institutions are thoroughly ideological, with the same regressive-left ideology. I don't even think it's like that in former Eastern Block countries. There are judges throwing the book, and giving prison terms, to people charged with trespass, because there's a BS party narrative. Normally that would carry a small fine.

@despairgumshoe6206 The character of those shot is relevant, in them being prone to violence, or aggression.

@despairgumshoe6206 I don't know generally what arguments are allowed. But the major difference is that those guys aren't on trial. It was relevant in the Chauvin trial that Floyd was a junkie, with criminal convictions, who gets arrested all the time.

@despairgumshoe6206 "The logic behind your comment is they are criminals they deserved it" That's basically what the defense team is trying to prove. His defense obviously is to show that he was acting in self-defense.

@despairgumshoe6206 It sounds like you're not an American. The guys who were shot are not on trial. Rittenhouse doesn't have to prove anything. The prosecution has to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that he's guilty.

@despairgumshoe6206 That's not true. The burden of proof in the US is always with the prosecutor--to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt."

@despairgumshoe6206 "The question is it pointlessly inflammatory." You're not the judge. I don't even know if there's such a standard. What is obviously relevant is that these guys were convicted felons, so if they took Rittenhouse's gun they would be committing a felony. Felons are barred from possessing a firearm under federal law.

@despairgumshoe6206 " Criminals have rights too " No one has a right to not be called a "pedophile" when they're a pedophile.

@despairgumshoe6206 That's not true. The defendant's constitutional rights are no suspended just because he's arguing self-defense. BTW. You have a bizarre obsession with defending pedos.
