Of the 27 people killed during any protest that might be reasonably be considered a "BLM"-adjacent protest following Floyd's death, 22 of them were protesters and two have still not been identified; 12 were killed by police, three were killed by right-wing accelerationists, and another five were killed by counter-protesters.

Appreciate the numbers, Tom, and I'll try to remember them. For everyone else...the "riots" are not as they are all too commonly portrayed to be.

I can appreciate if Rittenhouse had reasonable suspicion to think he was about to be shot, and defended himself. My issue has always been why in the hell was this kid showing up to a protest armed with a semi automatic rifle? Therein lays the issue.

Even Trump's own lawyer will not defend Trump' social media attacks on Bragg.

I finally found a copy of Trump with a baseball bat while staring at DA Alvin Bragg that Trump sent out.

What an idiot!  Can anyone imagine a jury that wouldn't look at that as some sort of threat?  ;D

Come on. That image is so ambigous. So are the statements.  How could you think Trump wanted any one to do any sort of violence?  He has no history of calling for any type of violence any where any time or any place.

Obviously he's trying to follow his lawyers advice to play ball with prosecutors.

Lets see. Death threats?  Check. Racial slurs? Check. Violent threats? Check.

Well Trump's supporters did at least some of what he wanted.

I guess Trump will only be happy if one of his supporters guns Bragg down in the street.
