According to the judge presiding over the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who allegedly shot and killed two protesters
Kyle Rittenhouse Photo: Mark Hertzberg/AP/Shutterstock In August of last year, a teenager named Kyle Rittenhouse reportedly embedded himself in a self-proclaimed militia standing outside a Kenosha, Wisconsin, gas station — purportedly protecting it from protesters calling for police accountability in the shooting of Jacob Blake. After the demonstrators reached the gas station, a chaotic confrontation followed.
When Rittenhouse’s trial begins next week, however, the judge will not allow attorneys to refer to Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz as “victims,” though he is open to “rioters,” “looters,” and “arsonists,” context permitting. “The word ‘victim’ is a loaded, loaded word,” County Judge Bruce Schroeder said Monday. “‘Alleged victim’ is a cousin to it.” On Wednesday, Schroeder affirmed that ruling, adding, “If more than one of them were engaged in arson, rioting, looting, I’m not going to tell the defense you can’t call them that.
Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and per the Tribune, his team plans to paint the shots fired as self-defense, and to target Rosenbaum as the aggressor that night. The Tribune also reports that Schroeder will allow “evidence of bad behavior that night” to show the jury how Rittenhouse may have perceived the people he shot. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger reportedly disagreed with that decision, saying, “This is an attempt to tell the jury that Mr.
Tucker Carlson, for one, has described Rittenhouse as a “hero.” It’s also worth noting that Rittenhouse’s social-media presence reflects an ideological alignment with “Blue Lives Matter,” a pro-police countermovement to Black Lives Matter. On the night in question, it appears Rittenhouse was one of the armed men who received water from police handing out bottles to the militia. His trial begins on November 1.

Judge places controversial ground rules over use of term “victim” for Rittenhouse trialThe trial of Kyle Rittenhouse will begin on Monday in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse faces six charges, including homicide and attempted homicide, for his actions during protests last summer over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. This week, the judge in that case set his ground rules for the trial -- barring prosecutors from using the word 'victim' to describe the people Rittenhouse shot, describing it as a 'loaded term.' Elie Mystal, Justice Correspondent for The Nation, joined MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin to discuss the controversial ruling and the trial ahead.
