Just An Odd Thing About the Rittenhouse Case

 These three 'victims' that the prosecutor hypes over?

Well....individual number one, convicted felon (domestic abuse, assault and battery, illegal weapon possession, and false imprisonment).  Dead.

Individual number two, convicted felon (felony burglary, violated probation, illegal weapon possession).  He's still alive (at least presently).

Individual number three, convicted felon (sexual offenses, failure to maintain accurate record on sex offender record).  Dead.   To be honest, this goes to a Arizona episode, with 11 counts of child molestation.  An odd thing here about the end of this case, from the Arizona court.....they said the guy should be totally restricted from contact with anyone under the age of 18.  Rittenhouse?  He was seventeen at the time of the shooting.....so if this joker had just listened to the court and avoided contact....he'd be alive today.

Mention of the background here of the three by the prosecutor?  No.

If the jury knew of the past records?  Yes, it'd probably influence them to some degree.

So my question is.....if you went out that night and canvased the demonstration crowd (say around one-hundred people).....how many had felony records?  Just those three?  Ten-percent of the hundred?  Fifty-percent of the hundred? 

What's the magnet here?  Apparently, there aren't that many Lutherans, Boy Scouts, Mennonites, or former Army people with Silver Stars or Purple Hearts.  It just begs the question....what kind of characters are showing up? 

Demon-Chatter

 I don't usually talk much politics over my home state (Alabama) but the governor's race is next November.

In the running currently, under the GOP, we have a lesser-known guy running....Dean Oldie.  Oldie has the profession of Pentecostal minister....meaning he believes in the speaking in 'tongues' and that demons (if found in people) need to be cast out.

I sat and pondered over the guy, if he were to win the election and be governor. 

First, we do have a lot of tormented folks in Alabama, with probable 'demons' (really just mental disease or damage from years of alcohol/drugs).  As governor, he'd be an asset to cast out these demons.

Second, the demon-hunter crowd generally always drifts over to the Republicans....NOT the Democrats.  It ought to be 50-50 here, but it isn't.

Third and final, one negative of getting this guy out in front....it'll attract the pro-demon crowd to get more political.  Hard to say if they will stand with the Republicans or the Democrats.  But I doubt that we really need more pro-demon positions on things (like Covid).  

Five Odd Things You'd Notice From the Past Week

 1.  This Houston rap-death incident.

Oddly enough....almost no one in the city management scene is responsible for anything.  You'd think that a permit was issued by someone in the city, and it listed eighty-odd things you needed to do....to ensure safety.  Yet in this case....nothing seems to be laid out.  

2.  The Biden team admits they are at a total loss on what to do about the mounting inflation business.

Yes, they do hype the trillion-dollar deal as something, but if you asked how the incoming and outgoing cash angle resolves inflation....they can't answer that.

Experts on their team within economics?  You get the impression that from the thirty-odd characters on the insider team....virtually no one is a graduate of economics.  

My impression is that nightly....they gather around a table...sipping Jim Beam and asking each other why potato chips are more expensive or how it costs $14 more now for a tank of gas compared to Trump's last year.  

3.  Someone did the math and suggests now that in the past decade....with Obama-Care in full bloom....the general yearly cost is now 50-percent more. 

And?  Is anyone really that shocked?  Most of the regulation added....did nothing to lessen the speed of cost-problems.

4.  VP Harris stood up and said her bad numbers on polling....reflect people being negative about her being a female, black, and Asian. 

At no point did she admit that incompetency might be in the mix.

5.  The term 'witch-hunt' probably gets uttered at least ten times a day, if you flip through CNN, MSNBC, or Fox-News.

Some people are probably starting to ask....where'd all these witches come from?

My Sense Over the Rittenhouse Court Case

 Several years ago, I watched a podcast and a older law professor talked over the decline of prosecutors.  It'd reached a level (he said) where numerous charges were being tossed at folks, and the deal was to bargain the situation down to the 'guilty-party' accepting one or two lesser charges, and marginal jail-time (at least a year or two in semi-serious cases).  

Real prosecution cases....in his mind....no longer existed.  

I think this prosecution team in the Rittenhouse case....were on this remarkable 'ride' and figured that they'd eventually offer Rittenhouse two lesser charges....get him to admit guilt, and they'd avoid a real courtroom case. 

Weeks progressed, and Rittenhouse never wanted a deal. 

In my mind, the prosecution team walked into a case that they were never capable of winning, and had done marginal preparation for the situation.

The skills that might have been there for a 1920s or 1930s courtroom case?  Long gone.  

Just my humble view.    

UFO Chatter

 The top official of various US intelligence groups....came out and talked over UFOs briefly.  So what she said in essence....there's mounting evidence, but intelligence people ask 'whats the real landscape' (where all this leads to), and they can't answer that.

Having viewed all the chatter....over years, I will offer three observations:

1.  There's serious physical limits (at least upon humans) to travel for years in space.  This has been discussed at length.  I'm one of those people who believe none of these are actual beings, but AI-robots, with given instructions.  

2.  You can pretty much assume the 'end-game' contains only two options: gain resources/minerals, or assemble knowledge or data or society.  If they wanted to conquer society....they'd just turn some stupid bat-virus loose and immunize people with a counter-productive vaccine.  

3.  Maybe they are the ones who planted all that exists on Earth.

Beyond that....there's nothing much to be discussed.  If they wanted to hide themselves....they've done a poor job.  

Observations

 1.  Did anyone know that VP Harris was capable of a French accent?

No.  Where did she learn the accent?  I pondered upon this, and the only logical place is that LeBeau guy on Hogan's Heroes.  My guess is that she spent several hours on the flight from DC to Paris....watching LeBeau clips.

2.  Florida chatting about sending refugees to Delaware?

Well....yeah.  Personally, I'd just get a load of refugee actors....one single bus, and then dump them somewhere in Delaware to act-out or pretend to be newly arrived from Florida and just see how public reaction goes.  'Stir the pot' as people say.  Maybe no one even notices them.  

Five Questions Which Might Be Interesting To Ask Joe Biden

 1.  When was the last time that he drove a car and refilled the tank with fuel?

-- I'm just guessing but it's probably been over twenty-five years.  So, he has very little knowledge over fuel costs.

2.  When was the last time that he entered and shopped at a Piggly Wiggly or any type of grocery?

-- In the past decade?  It wouldn't shock me if it's three times or less.

3.  Does he know his monthly average on electricity costs for the house he owns in Delaware?  

-- Just a humble guess here, but he probably hasn't reviewed the bill in thirty-odd years.  His wife might have a basic idea but I'll bet she hasn't seen the bill either, for at least a decade.

4.  Can he name all of his cabinet officials?  

-- It's a silly question, but it would just be curious to ask this and see if he fails.  If he utters 'that blonde gal', or that 'funny guy'.....there's something wrong.  

5.  What officials or meetings did you entertain in the past week?  In terms of man-hours....what exactly have you been doing?

-- As crazy as it sounds....I don't think he can answer the question.
