Judge in Rittenhouse Case Gives The OK For Those He Allegedly Shot to Be Called ‘Arsonists’ or ‘Rioters,’ Not ‘Victims’

The judge in Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial gave the defense a huge victory yesterday after the prosecution had sought to bar the defense from referring to the men allegedly shot by Rittenhouse as “arsonists” or “rioters.”

Wisconsin Judge Bruce Schroeder denied the prosecution’s request and said, “If more than one of them were engaged in arson, rioting, looting, I’m not going to tell the defense you can’t call them that.”

Schroeder also ruled that the two deceased men and the injured man could not be referred to as victims and asserted, “The word ‘victim’ is a loaded, loaded word. ‘Alleged victim’ is a cousin to it.”

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger was rebuked by Schroeder at one point for nonchalantly referring to acts of arson.

Binger said of one of the slain men, Joseph Rosenbaum’s conduct on the night of his death, “All we’re talking about is arson, we’re talking about being loud and disorderly.”

Schroeder, however, interjected, “I can’t believe some of the things you’re saying. ‘All we’re talking about is arson?’ Come on.”

It was also reported in August of last year that Rosenbaum could be seen in the online video approaching a group of men on a crowded street in Kenosha as he moves closer and closer repeatedly saying, “Shoot me, n—a.”

In addition to the killing of Rosenbaum, 36, Rittenhouse has also been charged in with fatally shooting Anthony Huber, 26, and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, 26.

Jury selection begins next Monday and the trial is expected to last at least two weeks.

Liberals on Twitter are furious about the rulings, as Rittenhouse has now trended on the platform today yet again.

One Twitter user, @WUTangKids, quote tweeted a story about the rulings and suggested, “The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse definitely has several white hoods in his closet.”
