Wow. You guys are making me feel exceptionally lucky.
You probably just have better judgment than us lol!

So, we will see if the defense does Rittenhouse justice.

They're not there to deliberate on the backlash, they're there to deliberate on whether the facts of the case warrant a conviction or not.
I sympathize - they've been doxed by fascists. Find Rittenhouse not guilty, then drive directly to your local gun shop and purchase an AR, a few extra mags, a skid of rounds, then board your windows up.
Should have had all that stuff already, anyway.
What are you thinking will happen on the street, if acquitted?
I think the Marxists have better control of the street Bolshies than we think.
Word will come down to stand down for right now, since they have power across the board.
People tend to think they will be prepared. Do you ever sleep or is someone available that can stand guard while you sleep? What if there are multiple people coming at your home in all directions with molotov cocktails and/or their armed? What happens when you go to pick up supplies or whatever. It is not easy as you think it is.
Based on that I would tell the court that before I give my decision you better temporarily provide protection for when I leave the court house and at my home.
btw - local gun shop? Will they even sell right now out there? 20 years back I got denied in Texas one time because the gun shop required one reference because I did not have a Texas ID. So he called my landlord who told them I had been attacked the day prior. Dealer said he could not sell until the cooling off period is over. Did not matter I was the victim of an attack and the gun shop was this big pro 2A shop featured on NBC News due to complaints by the far left. They were worried if I shot my attacker it would give the lib protestors something on them.
Regardless, their job is to determine whether the facts of the case warrant a conviction, not to determine how their decision might affect them.
Trial by jury is a foundational element of a free society. Once that is ceded, there is no such thing as justice.
Some things are bigger than your property, or even your life.

I am not saying not to render a verdict. I am saying as jury I would say we will give our verdict when you have some security in place first.

You should. BLM/Antifa are not organic to a local community. There are agitators that travel to locations to incite. Not a single business owner in Kenosha wanted their property destroyed. And a community should come together to protect their own.
Let them try to mess with me.
This, at worst, should lead to a mistrial with prejudice. All charges dropped. Best case, they come to their senses tomorrow morning.

So you are only in it for yourself. O.K.
In fact that would make a GREAT statement. In a court of law.
"I have listened to the facts and am ready to make a judgement. However, I do not feel that this court, or any level of government, is capable of protecting myself or my family from retribution if my verdict is contrary to an extremists point of view. Therefore, I cannot participate in the most basic of civil service in the current environment that our government has allowed and continues to allow. I have no faith in this government. Therefore I recuse and ask the court to appoint an alternative juror."
Sumptin' like dat.
Yes, I would not even consider doing what Rittenhouse did. But if these "protesting" assholes messed with my property or family I would kill them. Clear enough?
Seems to me that Kyle had more balls than that, frankly. That's the exact scenario he walked into that night - the government either could not, or would not, provide the most basic level of service it claims as justification of its existence - peace and security. Knowing that, a young man went to render aid and security, and took a firearm to protect himself in the event that rioters turned on him, which they did. He didn't ask someone else to go in his place - he went and served his community, and now that SAME GOVERNMENT that REFUSED to provide peace and security to the people and business owners of Kenosha are literally persecuting him as a result.
I GUARANTEE YOU that if it was one of their little pet pigs who was in the EXACT same situation, this case never even would have gone to trial.
Buck up, render your not guilty decision, go home, fill a few mags, and anyone who doesn't like it can FA & FO. I wouldn't expect the government to protect me even in the best of circumstances. I'll do it.
