On Wednesday, jurors in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse were dismissed for the evening having still not reached a verdict after two days of deliberations and reviewing of video evidence.
The latter interruption in deliberations came as the defense filed a motion for a mistrial – in separate instances both with and without prejudice – when it was discovered that prosecutors withheld higher resolution footage of the night in question from the defense that might have altered their approach in the case, had they been able to view it.
That is the state of affairs as of Wednesday night, but as deliberations among the jury continue, tensions have begun to increase among those assembled outside the Kenosha courthouse.
In one instance that may portend of others to come, a man wearing a “F*** Kyle” t-shirt appeared to slam his sign on another woman’s sign whom he was evidently trying to dox. He then body-slammed a videographer and was summarily arrested.
Some in the small crowd wore clothes adorned with Black Lives Matter messages. It is questionable as to why they are in attendance – unless to perform only as agitators – considering all subjects in the Kyle Rittenhouse case are white.

Another angle of the skirmish:
Fight breaks out and two arrests were made outside courthouse when a BLM protester arrived with a sign doxxing a woman who is pro-Rittenhouse – the woman confirms she has a felony for methamphetamine and she’s been outside the courthouse the last two days. #Kenosha pic.twitter.com/Ay8NtJsNrO

As the BLM group tried to escort the young man away from the media another scuffle broke out and two BLM protesters were pinned to the ground, arrested by police and taken away by van.

And in another confrontation, a woman was doused by a BLM activist:

Townhall’s Julio Rosas has been at the courthouse covering the Rittenhouse trial and, on Monday, he tweeted out an interaction he had with a pro-conviction woman who had prepared a somewhat ridiculous-looking middle school poster board project, depicting well … take a look:
There’s a few anti-Rittenhouse protesters outside the Kenosha courthouse. There’s one sign that has Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz as “selfless heroes.” pic.twitter.com/C1rcFi8XQ1

It only made sense to inquire:
I asked the protesters about the sign calling Rosenbaum, a convicted sex offender, a hero.
“Why do we even have to bring all that up, seriously? That’s nothing but hate talk.”
“It’s like asking a woman what she was wearing. It doesn’t matter. He was murdered.” pic.twitter.com/m8zbN0OISf
— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) November 15, 2021
It is true that Rosenbaum and Huber are not here to defend themselves, but in the case of all three who moved to contact with Rittenhouse, each had rap sheets and offenses of varying severity, and the Left has a penchant for picking the most dubious characters they can find to lift up as heroes and saints.
“I would never jump in front of a guy with an AR-15” so why did Rosenbaum chase down Kyle and reach for his gun? Maybe cause he was nuts?

Does the ‘he was murdered so he’s a hero’ apply across the board? It seems an unusual position to take for in defense of a convicted child molester.

In which the left shows that they’re okay with touching children if the person doing the touching has the same politics as them. These are the people who have infected the Democrat Party and made it what it is. https://t.co/Ijp5FTq1B9

On Tuesday, Rosas spotted a whopper of a hat that will no doubt be flying off the shelves, so its designer had better trademark it, pronto.
There’s a mix of pro and anti-Rittenhouse protesters outside the Kenosha County Courthouse today as we wait for a verdict.
