re: #86 Jack Burton in Mactified Forshion

Not to defend Glenn Fucking Douchewald for anything, but… all the screaming about “across state lines” in regards to the Rittenhouse case, which is what he was bitching about, is completely irrelevant and makes “our side” look dumb and desperate. He didn’t take the rifle across state lines into Wisconsin.

Also, crossing state lines and then committing a crime while you are there does not make it a federal case. If I go to Vegas from CA and then get accused of knocking over a liquor store while I’m there. The FBI isn’t going to get involved.

The case was a loss from the start and everyone seriously needs to adjust their expectations and not completely lose their shit when he walks with nothing but a misdemeanor weapons charge (maybe).

The judge is an asshole and biased and is definitely trying to put on a show for TV. But even if he wasn’t, the prosecutor is the dumbest fucking lawyer I’ve ever seen in such a high profile case and has been fucking up royally over and over. He’s definitely not equipped for dealing with this particular case, in this particular environment, in front of this particular judge, to prove malice aforethought (which is the only way this would go the way we hoped).

In even the best case scenario at this point, he’s likely going to be walking down the courthouse steps on the last day of this trial. My money is still on his getting pinched for the misdemeanor charges, for which he’ll remain free until sentencing where the same judge will give him a wrist-slap fine (if that). The major charges either end with acquittal or the state choosing not to refile after a mistrial is declared over a hung jury.
