The Laws Exist to Protect White Conservatives. A Black Man Would Never Have Been Acquitted on a Self-Defense Claim

[Weatherman2020]

A man who attempted to kill a cop -- who was raiding the home of his girlfriend -- pled self-defense. And was acquitted.

Remember- a black man could never successfully plead self-defense, never ever ever.

Oh -- and he's a felon.

Did you read it?

In a separate proceeding Friday, the same jury convicted Coffee of one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.


At his sentencing Jan. 13, he faces a maximum prison term of 30 years.

“The state will be seeking that maximum 30 years upon him,” Assistant State Attorney Chris Taylor said after court.

They got him for something. They got Rittenhouse for nothing.

And they raided the guys home.

Then, he told Circuit Judge Dan Vaughn he and Woods had been asleep when deputies at the back of the house broke out the window to his bedroom using a pole that then detonated a flashbang device.

A grand jury in July 2017 cleared SWAT team members of any criminal charges and a Sheriff's Office internal investigation cleared them of any violations of policies and procedures.

They probably raided the wrong house. But still the guys going to get 30 years.

30 years in prison?

 

[Otis Mayfield]

“But we are glad that justice was done and he was found guilty of the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.”


He might even go to prison for possessing a firearm.

Police shot his girlfriend 10 times!

Police didn't announce themselves as far as I can tell.

30 years in prison?

he was found not guilty of the murders and attempted murders

justice was done

he can’t have a gun though, that was illegal, he’s a felon

They gave the black guy 30 years. Felon can't have a gun.

Prosecutors in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial may have lost their best chance at convicting the Illinois man of something when the judge threw out a charge that Rittenhouse was a minor in possession of a dangerous weapon.

That jury never got to consider the gun possession charge — one that at one time had seemed a slam-dunk for the prosecution. Rittenhouse was 17 at the time, and there was no dispute that he was armed the night of the shootings with a Smith and Wesson AR-style semi-automatic rifle strapped to his chest.

Though the charge was only a misdemeanor — punishable by a maximum nine months in jail — it might have offered the jury a way to convict Rittenhouse of a lesser crime if they were persuaded by his self-defense claims but agreed with prosecutors that he made a poor decision to carry a rifle on the streets of Kenosha.

EXPLAINER: Why did judge drop Rittenhouse gun charge?

On the surface, it looked like prosecutors would convict Kyle Rittenhouse on at least one charge in his murder trial — being a minor in possession of a firearm

he wasn’t sentenced yet. The article says the prosecutor will seek that amount of time…which is the max the law allows

Kyle wasn’t a felon in position of a firearm. The judge tossed the misd charge out because he didn’t violate rhe law, the law didn’t forbid him from having a rifle.

 

[sealybobo]

The law in WI is ridiculous.

Judge Bruce Schroeder granted a defense motion to toss out the weapons charge. Rittenhouse attorneys Mark Richards and Corey Chirafisi pointed to an exception in the law that they said allows minors to possess shotguns and rifles as long as they’re not short-barreled.

The exception renders the state’s prohibition on minors possessing dangerous weapons meaningless. But when he acknowledged that Rittenhouse’s rifle’s barrel was longer than 16 inches, the minimum barrel length allowed under state law, Schroeder dismissed the charge.

Such bullshit. But you got me. I agree. Not guilty.

Black people just need better lawyers.

well maybe they do need better lawyers but not sure how you get around the fact he had a gun, and was a felon

I don’t have a problem wirh WI law. I see no issue with banning minors from certain weapons. In this case Kyle didn’t have an illegal weapon. The judge justly tossed it at motion to strike. The fact the media keep saying that charge was a slam dunk and it was an illegal weapon highlights the leftist propagandist is strong

I admit the loophole exists, but it's a ridiculous one. Virtually making the law meaningless. Just make sure your gun isn't too short. Weird.

no, it’s not meaningless it still prohibits all sorts of weapons, in particular weapons that can easily be concealed

that’s the point. not to prohibit minors from owning weapons at all…minors still have second amendment rights too

Felons, like in the case in the OP lose that right when convicted of felonies. He could have applied for his rights to be restored but didn’t

There was no gun charge. The prosecution tried a fake out. That's why the judge threw it out. The law is that a minor can't be in possession of a short barrel rifle or shotgun. The prosecutor tried to sneak that one in. Rittenhouse had a long barrel. Close but no cigar.

So a felon can't defend himself and what was the make up of the jury?

“The jury found that he was defending himself and Alteria and that he needed to do this,” Chrzan added.

I know it's horse shit. The laws need to change. A 17 year old kid playing grand theft auto. You approve?

For breaking the law. Just because he was innocent of murder, doesn’t mean he wasn’t guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Actions have consequences, illegally possessing a gun will get you sent to jail.

The prosecution agreed that the law didn’t apply to Kyle, it wasn’t just the defense and the judge. Both prosecutors have come across as hacks at best, criminals who violate the rights of defendants without even a thought at worst. How many defendants have they railroaded in the past?
