I call this an injustice because Rittenhouse is almost certainly not a flight risk or an ongoing danger to his community, so incarcerating him before trial violates the principle of innocent unless proven guilty. Also because the case for his innocence on grounds that he allegedly shot those three people in self-defense appears unusually strong.
Yes, Rittenhouse is a gun-totin' Trump supporter, not my favorite kind of person. But considerable video evidence from that evening shows that the shooter, allegedly Rittenhouse, fired only when attackers put him in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm. |

Why haven't they charged the attacker that pointed a gun at Rittenhouse?
It is despicable the way they are treating Rittenhouse. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
