“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ.”
The left’s reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted of all charges was predictable and not particularly creative. According to them, he deserves to die, rot in hell, yadda, yadda, yadda.
But one Democrat is taking things further by calling on the Biden DOJ to consider federal charges against Rittenhouse. Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, tweeted his call for a federal review just hours after the jury’s verdict was announced.
Many on the left, who so nonchalantly and callously dismiss the damage done to people and property by BLM and Antifa, support Nadler’s call for a federal investigation. It could be argued that Democrats are so accustomed to things going their way that they can’t handle it when they lose.
Nadler would be wise to step away from his emotions over the verdict and think about the repercussions of pushing the narrative that Kyle Rittenhouse was a white supremacist who violated the civil rights of his attackers. The government failed — spectacularly! — in making that case and the Kenosha jury decided what most knew all along: it was simply a case of self-defense.
I don’t think so.
vodka is he way to go when tht day comes.
“It’s very difficult to bring civil rights charges against a civilian under these circumstances. It’s a different matter if the defendant was law enforcement.”
42 USC 1983 is the go-to playbook on that: Acting under color of law.
Right. But that doesn’t apply to Kyle.
“It’s very difficult to bring civil rights charges against a civilian under these circumstances. It’s a different matter if the defendant was law enforcement.”
My comment was in response to yours re: law enforcement. Of course 42 USC 1983 would not apply to Rittenhouse in these circumstances, because he was not acting under color of law.
I was wrong.....the interview is Monday
And right after he gets drunk he should go out back and start shooting his AR!
Double Jeopardy. Nadler must have never read this:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
The federal government and state governments are considered separate “sovereigns”. The state of Wisconsin cannot charge him again, but the federal government can.
No-nad Nadler’s commie response.
Jerry the Hutt - the very disgusting poster child for the abusive use of our criminal justice system for partisan political gain. I cannot stand this guy, or anyone as slimy as he is - never could.
The burden is significantly easier in Civil Court (so I've read) however it's a very steep hill to climb when the individual being sued has been found not guilty in a criminal court of law.
OJ Simpson being the most notable exception to the above.
I’m sure Nadler had a role in the Russia hoax too. That needs to be looked at. Congress needs a good fumigation.
“He needs to get out of the country”
He NEEDS to GTF off my PLANET!
Reported that DOJ already ran the numbers on if they could be used by the worse-than-Communists to go after Rittenhouse if there was a not guilty verdict.
DOJ stated they have no jurisdiction, civil rights violations are not present AND there has not been any interstate law violation.
nadless the nothing is nothing more than circus puke
When you said "The FBI probably has at least dozen different ways to frame Kyle, already planned..., that's the equivalent of checking under your bed for that hidden Communist.
So sure, there is some political corruption in the FBI. But they don't have a dozen plans to frame Rittenhouse already drafted and ready for execution. That's just paranoia.
GFYS considered for Jerry Nadler.
