Was he trying to lose this case?

I would have walked out. No one has the right to point a weapon at you !

Good to see a bunch of people outraged that a pedophile died….

This MF 🤦🏽‍♂️

Maybe put him on a Baldwin movie set.

Yes. This is America!🥰

Old prosecution trick. Saw it many times when I covered trials as a reporter.

Nobody on this thread watched the trial? Lol. It shows

Kyle Rittenhouse drove 30 miles after ILLEGALLY buying an AR-15 Assault Rifle. In court, he said he went to protect lives/provide medic services, having brought his medic kit. He did neither, Kyle murdered 2 people, not even giving first aid or calling an ambulance as they died.

Oh so pointing guns at people is bad? Oh.

Other news outlets contradict this story 100% - he cleared and verified the gun was empty of live rounds multiple times and then pointed the gun at a blank wall. Dont believe this BS story. 💩

And yet . . . He felt it necessary to aim an AR15 at jurors. Just as ignorant as his client. And why is the Mother not in jail for accessory, driving a minor over state lines, and dropping him off with an AR15. She knew what she was doing. &just imagine the talk they had on way

Yeah I was there in Court Mr. Levin. ABCNewsLive DHSgov wxyzalicia KeenanSmithWX NYPDShea Microsoft

they needed to know how it feels and why it’s an aggravated assault and provocation to point a gun

Is anyone really surprised?

With no trigger discipline.

Why AskingForAFriend 🤔😁

Yet the judge allows Kyle to walk. Says you cannot call the murdered 'victims' and then throws out gun possession charges. Kyle will get manslaughter and that's it. He won't serve more than 2 years.

Idiot.

They should know how it feels to get pointed with one

Why? Rittenhouse pointed a gun at 3 people and only one of them walked away from that. They should experience the fear that little motherfucker gave to the 2 victims

These instances should have wooden prop replicas made. Doesn’t matter if the gun was just checked and empty, you still never point a gun at someone, and you sure as hell don’t do it with your finger on the trigger. Broke every damn safety rule.

He didn't. The officer that cleared the firearm watched him. It wasn't pointed at them.

Mmmm. Grow up. Murder trials are for people that wear big kid pants.

That's what the victims felt when it was pointed at them and took their lives. That's the point he was trying to make to the jury.

🤦‍♂️. Why? Should they not feel exactly how his victims felt? I say GOOD JOB.

He should be disbarred

What if Kyle was Black? What if Blk kyle was chased down kicked, assaulted, tried to get away twice before he defended himself?

Rules: Don’t point a gun and don’t put your finger on the trigger.

Why? Kyle pointed it at alot of people! Why not criticized him!

Foh but its okay for him to do it & kill two ppl 🖕🖕🖕

Who did ? Foxnews ?

With a finger on the trigger too. Ask Alec how that worked out for him.

Kyle Rittenhouse has a face that just says “please punch me”!

I thought that was odd…

It’s like a circus

Didn't he learn anything from the Alec Baldwin incident?

They should be upset with kyle he did it with a hot gun and murdered two people

Yikes. Bet Kyle got turned on.

Everything in this trial is a joke

Hey he was playing with a losing hand thanks to the 'judge '

criticize if you want, if the jury felt threatened or scared just imagine how Kyle's victims felt.

How dare he show exactly what Kyle Rittenhouse did when he killed two people 😱🙄

He about to pull an Alec Baldwin...

A guy trying to prosecute someone for murder with a gun and obviously knows nothing about guns. If only there was a bullet in that gun and it went off we would see the true reaction from the prosecution on guns. I agree the kids should have stayed home but not a murderer.

Trigger Finger out of Trigger Guard....unless you plan on unloading....This Matlock is a comedy show with the most serious of consequences.

So peeps don’t like guns pointed at them? Hmmm…🤔

They wylin in that mf 😭

They're white, what're they worried about?

Load or unloaded you never point a gun at someone unless you plan on using it, this trail is a circus! He will get off but like I have said before if he was anything other color, there would not be a trial

I don’t think the prosecutor did a very good job.

But the little white boy that pointed it and used it to kill 2 ppl……NVM

whether it’s loaded or not 1.) finger should be resting to the side of the gun not the trigger 2.) everyone feels fear if a weapon is pointed at them u don’t need to demonstrate, you shouldn’t even be pointing it at a person to begin with unless it’s in self defense

What a Tool. Points a AR-15 at people with finger on trigger. Argues its reckless and dangerous.

I just came here to see who’s defending the Child Molesting, Rioter who attacked a “kid” with a gun…..

He didn't point the gun at the jury yesterday I was there.. they check the gun first for bullets then gave it to the prosecutor . He aimed it at the wall. Here's proof of me standing in the line to get into the courtroom.

I’m Mike Weirsky, the winner of the lottery winner of $273m in New Jersey ..... giving back to people, this is too much money for me I'm helping those who needs. 💕💕💕

Is this the biggest joke of a trial in the history of America?

What if his name was Kahlil and not Kyle?

Horrible trigger discipline... smh

There's literally not even a magazine in this gun...

I am sure the Jury is not going to be happy about the prosecutor action. 🙄

At least he didn't shoot....like kyle.🤔🤨

So it's not nice to bring an AR-15 someplace public and point it at people? Does it frighten them? Does it needlessly escalate matters? It it potentially dangerous (particularly if the darn thing is actually loaded rather than just a courtroom demo)?

Yeah that wasn't the brightest thing to do. 😂

No shit. And he has his finger on the trigger.

Seems like it worked then?

This guy knows what he’s doing,everyone knows you point a gun at someone with your finger on the trigger…

Always assume it’s loaded

Kyle Rittenhouse trial Day 10 ends with closing arguments: Key takeawaysA Wisconsin jury will begin deliberating the fate of Kyle Rittenhouse on Tuesday after hearing starkly different theories of the same evidence, with a prosecutor portraying the teenager as a trouble-seeking active shooter to counter defense claims he shot three men, two fatally, in self-defense. The Kenosha County Circuit Court jury was sent home for the night after hearing hours of closing arguments in the high-profile homicide trial and getting more than 30 pages of instructions from Judge Bruce Schroeder. Schroeder told the jury they will begin their deliberations Tuesday after 12 of the 18 panelists who heard evidence in the case are randomly selected to decide Rittenhouse's fate. If that poor excuse for a lawyer had pointed that rifle in MY courtroom, I would have called a mistrial and sent him to jail for a long, long time for contempt.
