Senior editor at Human Events Jack Posobiec issued a major warning following the upcoming verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
Rittenhouse is on trial for killing two people in the wake of violent riots that rocked Kenosha, Wisconsin for three nights last year.
Posobiec predicted that there will be organized riots in Kenosha, WI, after a verdict is rendered in the trial.
“At the end of the day, you are going to see an uprising in Kenosha,” Posobiec said.
“That’s why — finally — Governor [Tony] Evers has brought in the national guard.”
“He said 500 troops are going to be on standby, and it blows my mind, because if he had just put those 500 troops in Kenosha — remember, the night of the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting was night three of the riots — and a lot of these rioters — Kenosha’s only about 45 minutes from Chicago, so they were coming up from Chicago, they were coming down from Milwaukee into Kenosha — it’s not their town, they’re tearing it up.”
“If Evers had just put National Guard there in the first place, this never would have happened.”
Constitutional scholar and Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has predicted that 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse will be acquitted.
“He should be acquitted,” Dershowitz said. And then he should due media organizations for smearing him, Dershowitz added.
Dershowitz’s comments came during an appearance on Newsmax. Rittenhouse is currently on trial for killing two men and wounding a third while protecting a business during the left-wing riots that rocked Wisconsin for three nights last year.
“If I were a juror, I would vote that there was reasonable doubt that he did act in self-defense, and then he’ll bring lawsuits and that’s the way to answer.”
“I’ve sued CNN, the Covington people have sued CNN. You know, the idea is to make the media accountable for deliberate and willful lies, and that is consistent with the First Amendment,” he continued.
Posobiec added that one of the individuals, Gaige Grosskreutz, who took the stand in the trial is affiliated with Antifa.
“Gaige Grosskerutz [was] a member of one of these sort of local Antifa chapters, they call it the People’s Revolution Movement,” he said.
“These massive programs, like the huge, ubiquitous Black Lives Matter protests, as well as the Antifa, and even the more violent elements of BLM, were activated in a way in 2020 that we just haven’t seen after after November 3rd of 2020.” he continued.
“It seems to have completely vanished, or if it’s around, it’s only sort of those hardened cadres of maybe two or three or a dozen here or there depending on the city, they’re just not getting the numbers.”
Posobiec concluded, “If you look at that TIME magazine article that came out after the election, you had people in there admitting that they were in communication with the people who led some of the more violent riots that took place, and they were calling them and saying, ‘Stand down. We don’t want you to come out. We don’t want the kind of scenes that we saw throughout 2020.’
“And it puts people in almost a Stockholm syndrome. It’s like a Mexican standoff for our own country where we’re having a situation of, ‘You’re going to vote the way we want, or you’re going to get the stick.”
