Hate-Rittenhouse Protesters Get Violent. Is Jury too Terrified to Acquit?

Cops arrested two anti-Kyle Rittenhouse goons outside the Kenosha County Courthouse yesterday.

The arrests occurred just feet away from where jurors are deciding whether Rittenhouse defended himself when he shot and killed two hardened criminals, and shot and wounded a third during last year’s Blake riots in Kenosha.

Meanwhile, Twitter users are threatening violence if Rittenhouse is acquitted, and even threatening Judge Bruce Schroeder, who is presiding over the case.

The leftist rage raises the question of whether the jury can reach a fair decision given that they undoubtedly fear they or their families might be murdered, or their homes burned down, if they acquit Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse killed boy rapist Joseph Rosenbaum and convicted strangler Anthony Huber. He wounded longtime criminal Gaige Grosskreutz, and attempted to shoot the attacker and career criminal called Jump Kick Man.

Beatings and Violence

The more dangerous of the two goons is Anthony Angle Chacon, a 20-year-old who wore a F*** Kyle shirt.

He is charged with misdemeanor battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer, all misdemeanors. He was also charged with felony bail jumping, apparently on a previous arrest.

Video shows the young thug, who was arrested in January for substantial battery with the intent to do bodily harm, calling a pro-Rittenhouse protestor vile names. Then he attacked the woman and a photographer.

As the out-of-control thug attacked, a woman shouted “Anthony, you’re gonna get arrested.” 

She got that right. Then again, maybe it wasn’t a woman who shouted. Maybe it was a gender-fluid, non-binary protester whose pronouns are xe, xir, and xem.

The other goon is Shaquita Lashia Cornelious. Cops charged her with resisting an officer, disorderly conduct, and possession of marijuana.

Amusingly, reporter Andy Ngo observed that Cornelious “crossed state lines from Zion, Illinois” to protest.

That’s a shot at the leftist media and hate-Rittenhouse crowd that has harped on Rittenhouse’s “crossing state lines” to help protect Kenosha from goons such as Chacon and Cornelious, who were rioting and burning the city during the Blake riots. Cornelious is the co-chairman of the Black Lives Matter outfit in Lake County, Illinois, Ngo reported.

The violence sends a message to jurors: You better convict Rittenhouse.

Fair Trial

The question is whether threats of arson, murder, and mob violence, along with the hate-Rittenhouse violence the jury surely knows is outside, have ruined his chance of getting a fairly considered verdict from the jury.

After a jury wrongly convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin in the overdose death of drug addict George Floyd, leftist legal celebrity Alan Dershowitz said the case must be appealed, and the verdict overturned.

Because Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and other leftists threatened mob violence if the jury didn’t convict, Dershowitz said a “sword of Damocles hung over the jury.”

“They feared for their lives and the safety of their families, if not the safety of Americans in cities that were sure to explode if the verdict wasn’t guilty,” he said.

Continued Dershowitz:

The judge himself said, this case may be reversed on appeal. And I think it might be reversed on appeal. I think it should be reversed on appeal.

If the jury in that case was terrified, so should this one be.

Threats Against Judge

Meanwhile, more threats of violence, one against the judge, surfaced on Twitter.

“If we don’t burn the judge of the Rittenhouse trial at the stake after this farce is over I will riot,” one said:

I want it on pay per view, I want it at the MGM and Vegas, I want there to be beer and wings deals at every bar when it happens. F**k this place.

“The Rittenhouse case is the most openly racist s**t I’ve seen in a minute!! How df is that man a judge???? Wtf is this s**t? America needs to be burned to the ground smh!!” another classy Twitter user remarked.

Other tweets are equally unhinged.

“Rittenhouse Judge Bruce Schroeder is a racist piece of incompetent trash,” a tweet on Monday said.

He’s also a Klansman, another said:

Last week, the Daily Mail revealed some of the hate e-mails Schroeder has received.

“Enjoy your term, judge, it’s going to be your last.” one said. “If I ever meet you in person, I fully intend to spit directly into your face, regardless the cost. You’re disgusting.”

A particularly disturbing rant threatened Schroeder’s children. The lunatic hoped the judge’s “kids become victims to the most heinous homicide known to man so he feels the pain […] we will call his kids not victims but b******s.”
