‘Criminal Justice Reform’ Is Leftist Code for Punishing Conservatives
If you’re politically on the Right in America, you can no longer count on equal justice under the law.

I have often heard folk tales about how the Left used to be skeptical of state power.
To a small extent, it still is. But only when the person in the defendant’s chair isn’t considered a political enemy.
After quite clearly acting in self-defense, Kyle Rittenhouse has been dragged through a sham trial. A regular kangaroo court has been in session in Kenosha County, Wisconsin for weeks. The ringleader of the circus is a state prosecutor called Thomas Binger, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the character Donkey from the “Shrek” films, and perhaps luckily for Rittenhouse, has a lower IQ.
He is, however, the archetype of a greasy lawyer. It’s as if he was booked for the gig by Central Casting.
After opening his cross examination of Rittenhouse with a line of questioning about his post-arrest silence, Binger nearly blew the case. A criminal defendant has a Fifth Amendment right to silence, and implying guilt from that silence is, in layman’s terms, a big no-no. Hell, I dropped out of law school, and even I know that.
Binger knows that, too. He’s an experienced prosecutor. That fact wasn’t lost on Judge Bruce Schroeder, who stopped the trial to loudly admonish Binger for intentionally skirting ethical guidelines.
Later the same day, Binger attempted a line of questioning on a subject that had been ruled out-of-bounds before the trial began. Again Schroeder paused the trial for a tirade against Binger, and for a brief moment, became so angry that another homicide in Kenosha seemed imminent.
