LeBron, still a little bitch.  Love the player, but man what a little bitch.  Sucker punch a guy in the eye, and then hide behind your teammates instead of answering for it

he is the biggest whiny, phony, hypocrite I've ever seen. I cannot stand the guy. I call him LeBitch, LeKaren, LeChina, or LeWhiner. 

Where Rittenhouse is really lucky is that he was able to afford competent legal defense, and didn't have to settle for some "public defender" left wing activist that would have been working for the prosecution instead of his client.

 it's very sad, but true. not sure on the left wing activist stuff- but otherwise i agree. the public defenders are too cozy with the prosecution and they get their clients to take bs deals from over-zealous if not corrupt prosecutors that they shouldn't take all the time- and this overwhelmingly affects poor brown & black people.

It's a great system.
But the judge shouldn't be giving the defendant a BJ during the trial.

I'll forever be flabbergasted that we have liberal judges and conservative judges and everyone is just okay with that. 
Absolutely no attempt at regulation or the employment of moderate-only judges with no slant either way. 

I believe this judge was put on the bench by a Democratic governor and that the judge himself is a registered Democrat. Giving a BJ to the defendant? Hyperbole much? IF the judge seemed sympathetic to the defendant, I think it was purely because he was getting SUPER pissed- and rightfully so I might add- with the incompetent, stupid, and possibly even corrupt prosecutor. 

It was a GOOD thing that he was adversarial with the prosecution and undressing him publicly and screaming at him when he was crossing lines that he knows damn well he isn't suppose to be crossing. Prosecutors were aiming for a mistrial imo- and they were complete incompetent scumbags.

US needs more judges like this guy who are hostile to prosecution....it's a GOOD thing if you want a more fair, honest judicial system.

It worked out for him. He can to CPAC and call Big Bird a communist and talk about how afraid he is of big cities

communism is dead. big bird is an antifa pussy.

If your side lost a close game, you might blame the refs, or the judge in this case.

Sour grapes etc.

I need a haircut this morning.

There clearly were "sides" in this trial, in social media.  It's not atypical at all when a trial has "overtones" relevant to society at large.  Judges should not have a side other than justice, nor should refs, but the people assessing their conduct will claim they had a side.  As for vigilantes, I think the term inherently implies a side of some sort.

Some of my liberal friends posted they were leaving the country as a result of this verdict.  They won't of course, but they posted that, and other things, showing they clearly voiced a side.  Some of their information that formed said "side" was factually incorrect of course.
