FRANK ON FRIDAY – To Mock a Killingbird

The Left has turned our world into a fantasy landscape, where up is down, right is wrong, and who you gonna believe, Woke imbeciles, or your lying eyes?  It used to be said that two wrongs don’t make a right.  The Left rejects that maxim, in favor of a new orthodoxy.  “If you disagree with us, you’re wrong, but whatever we choose to do, and however we choose to do it, is right.”  Because these people are brain damaged, that includes ignoring the law, changing it to suit their agenda, and even resorting to violence and threats of violence to get what they want.  And I’m not just talking about the political scene.  The iron boot of the Left is being firmly applied to the most sacred element of our republic, our justice system.  This sad tableau is playing out Kenosha, Wisconsin.  In August 2020, a justified police shooting sparked days of rioting, burning, and looting in Kenosha.  Into this Hell-like scene strode Kyle Rittenhouse, a pale, doughy, 17 year old life-guard, with a first aid kit and  an AR-15 rifle.  Rittenhouse went to Kenosha to put out fires set by rioters, and appears in video cleaning graffiti from a church.  At this juncture, one must question the judgment of Rittenhouse, and that of his mother, who permitted him to enter the Woke, mostly peaceful, riot zone, but put that aside, he went.  Along the way, Rittenhouse encountered several, mostly peaceful rioters, a/k/a “protestors.” Joseph Rosenbaum, a convicted child rapist and domestic abuser, who that day had been released from a mental hospital for bipolar disorder and attempted suicide.  Rosenbaum was setting the fires Rittenhouse was trying to put out.  Anthony Huber, previously convicted of repeated domestic abuse and strangulation.  Gaige Grosskreutz; convicted felon, domestic abuser, and drunk driver, also convicted of gun possession while intoxicated.  And Maurice Freeland, who kicked Rittenhouse in the face.  Freeland had experience, having previously kicked his girlfriend in the rib cage.  Video captured Rittenhouse yelling to the mostly peaceful rioters, “Friendly, friendly, friendly!”  Rosenbaum, et al. took exception to Rittenhouse’s interruption of their right to commit arson, chased Rittenhouse shouting the N word at him. (NOTE- The principal  players in this mess were White).  Rosenbaum threatened to kill Rittenhouse.  They cornered him, and tried to take his rifle.  Only then did Rittenhouse shoot and kill Rosenbaum.  Huber took umbrage to this.  Swinging a skateboard like a baseball bat, he bashed Rittenhouse in the head, and reared back to hit him a second time while he was on the ground.  Only then was Huber shot and killed.  Enter Grosskreutz, who admitted at the trial that he didn’t get shot until after he stuck his illegally possessed pistol in Rittenhouse’s face.  The two-man clown show that is the prosecution in this case has been an insult to prosecutors everywhere.  One of them called the three felons shot by Rittenhouse “a crowd of heroes.”  The other one said Rittenhouse had no right to defend himself because “Everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?”  I hope his fat ass is next.  In 41 years as a lawyer, I’ve never seen a better case for self-defense, but Rittenhouse was indicted for murder and attempted murder.  In the sane world we used to live in, these charges would be presented to the jury, and the jury would consider only the evidence it had heard in determining guilt or innocence, but the Left has cancelled that world.  A cardinal rule of our system of justice is that a trial jury must be scrupulously protected from outside influences or pressures that might affect its verdict.  But the Left doesn’t believe in that either, so just forget it.  This is a racial matter, you see.  The alleged victims and the defendant may be White, but the Antifa rioters were in Kenosha because of BLM protests about the police shooting, which of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the facts at issue in the Rittenhouse case.  No matter.  BLM has announced that Rittenhouse must be convicted, or else it’s not “justice.”  Hence the title of this week’s offering.  BLM and the Left have taken legitimate concerns for racial justice and civil rights and perverted them into the self-same injustice which motivated righteous protests for racial justice and civil rights.  In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom, the black defendant had to be convicted of a crime he didn’t commit because the alleged victim was white and an acquittal would result in a lynching.  Move ahead (are we really moving “ahead?”) 60 years, and the roles have been reversed.  Regardless of the law of self-defense, the Left demands the lynching of Kyle Rittenhouse, or else Kenosha burns again.  That’s not surprising.  No interference in a Leftist riot can be tolerated.  What is truly sickening, however, is the attitude of the Media, including outlets like Fox News, which seem resigned to the prospect that threats from BLM and Antifa thugs might convince the jury to convict, regardless of the evidence.  The Media aired a BLM/Antifa spokes-thug who said there were people at the trial photographing the jurors.  He made no secret of a plan to intimidate jurors and the judge.  The potential for the jury to succumb to such pressure is being openly discussed on Fox.  On MSNBC, a reporter casually reported that the protestors want to pressure the judge and jury into a conviction.  500 National Guardsmen are on call for anticipated unrest.  The exposure of a deliberating jury to blatant and public threats cannot be tolerated.  No court and no jury should be subjected to such abuse.  Noisy protestors should be moved away from the court.  Anybody who even suggests tampering with a sitting jury should be locked up, immediately, to deter other miscreants.  Kenosha got what it got in 2020 because police were ordered to “stand down” and let the rioters run riot.  BLM may have a plausible beef when police use force against a black suspect, but this is two steps removed from even that.  The alleged victims are White, and Rittenhouse wasn’t in Kenosha counter-protesting BLM, so BLM needs to butt out.  They have no dog in this fight.  Their real message is, “You try to stop a good riot and we’ll destroy you.”  That message blots out any semblance of concern for justice, and exposes them as violent thugs, no better than Antifa.  And as for those hooded bastards, it’s time for law enforcement to reassert control over chaos.  A government that won’t protect homes, streets or courts has failed.  It’s time these violent little Antifa pricks got smacked down, handcuffed and prosecuted.  “Everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?”
