Verdict is in!

Why do people gloat about stuff like this?

it's the classic human need of needing to be right. people took a side, then a huge part of those people doubled down on idiocy and it escalated.

I didn't think he'd be convicted, but the fact is that this was a tragic situation. 2 young men lost their lives.

needlessly lost their lives. they got mad that somebody dare stop their violent rampage, especially one so young and now running away. they could have just stayed out of it and let the justice system work, but that couldn't be allowed to happen in the revolution

The Jurors have reached a decision...



Took em long enough.

Have you ever seen/heard of an All Black jury in America?

maybe for awhile.....not the rest of his life. I still think he has a good future as a Marine.....he handled himself very well on the streets that night, despite his youth.

Actually you do have a good point about him being a Marine. The way he carried himself. He obviously was trained.

They paid out as did the WaPo. Even if it was just 10% of the suit amount that's $25 million and $27.5 million respectively. Even at 5% of the total suit it's still a whopping big $12.5 and $ 13.75 million respectively. Now they're looking at having to cough up as much or more again for Rittenhouse. I understand that the Sandmann family and their lawyers are already in contact with the Rittenhouse's and their lawyers to coordinate new lawsuits.

Yep, the WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, and many others are going to pay out for their false claims again.

The question is, how many times can they afford to let this happen before they're bankrupt or start firing their radical Leftist talking heads that dig them into these holes?

Since there's no way of knowing unless it's leaked, I'll go with what some lawyers say. This is just a snippet but there's a much longer, step-by-step explanation at the link.

"Everyone knows Covington Catholic High School’s Nick Sandmann sought $250 million in a lawsuit against major news organizations and individuals within their realms. Word that he settled with CNN in January and with the Washington Post last week has raised questions about how much he actually won. Lawyers who have observed the litigation have almost universally agreed it was not anywhere close to $250 million. (The official settlement amount remains confidential.)

“If you believe this kid got anything more than a nuisance fee settlement, you’re dreaming,” said national security law attorney Bradley P. Moss.

“Those with zero legal experience (as far as I can tell) should not be conjecturing on lawsuits they know nothing about,” said attorney Mark Zaid. “What kind of journalism is that?”

“I’ve litigated defamation cases. Sandman was undoubtedly paid nuisance value settlement & nothing more,” he added.

Never happen. They're always at work.

If vigilantism goes unpunished there will be many more. Rittenhouse's life is likely ruined. Doing some time and getting some reformation might have been better for him. Unless right-wingers hooting about him want to carry him and employ him, his life will be forever difficult. Other's that skirted trials and societal punishment had their own wealth to fall back on.

He's had his 15 minutes of fame and will go back to bumping fists with the Proud Boys in seedy bars. Now let's wait and see if he tries to sue somebody and get a big payout from this. It didn't help Zimmerman to win his case; he went back to being the obnoxious freeloader on society that he was before.
