Every time Jerry Rivers, aka Geraldo Rivera, opens his mouth he provides us all with even more justification for choosing to ignore him. No one really cares what he thinks or what he has to say and yet he persists in telling us what he thinks and to spew nonsense that none of us are interested in hearing. I seriously doubt there is anyone who tunes into ‘Fox News’ for the sole purpose of hearing what the great Jerry Rivers might have to say. So why is it that the network continues to pay, what I’m quite sure, his very generous salary? He’s a joke, a caricature and someone who ranks right up there with Juan Williams when it comes to having nothing intelligent to say, ever!
Which brings to Jerry’s recent idiotic comments
regarding the recently wrapped up trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. It was on the day
after the trial had wrapped up that Rivers made more of the idiotic claims that
he’s become known for when he said that maybe Kyle Rittenhouse had “watched too
many Rambo movies” Tuesday on Fox News. He said, “I personally feel that he has
been lionized way over the top.” And it was this dolt who then went on to say,
“He has been portrayed by half this country as a heroic youngster fighting for
his community. I don’t believe that at all. I think he watched too many Rambo
movies.” So I’m curious, is that his professional legal opinion?
Clearly Jerry views himself as being one of the
great legal minds of our time, that no one else does. That said, Rivers did,
however, say that he believed Rittenhouse would be found not guilty. He said, “Well,
I think the verdict should, if the jurors stick to the law, result in an
acquittal.” And he added, “I think once they drop the less serious charges that
made the possibility of a clean sweep more likely. Why? Because self-defense is
so powerful, in Wisconsin particularly.” Rivers also asserted that people
should not “root” for any particular ruling in the case. Liberalism demands
that you die at the hands of an enraged leftist mob as a leftist purity test.
Anyway, Rivers then went on to say, “My point is he
will be acquitted.” And he added, “He should be acquitted. What is very
distressing, and I made a point of telling my dear colleague here, we have to
be careful not to root for an outcome in a criminal case. Let these jurors
decide based on the facts and circumstances as they were presented, the legal
evidence that was presented.” Personally, I’m thinking that old Jerry has perhaps
watched a bit too much daytime television and continues to think of himself as
an actual journalist, which he most certainly is not. What he is, is a joke!
Jerry’s opinion is worthless, just as it has been for the past 40+ years.
For those who may spent the last few months living
under a rock, it was Mr. Rittenhouse who fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum and
Anthony Huber, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, back on August 25, 2020. He was
subsequently charged with first degree intentional homicide and attempted
intentional homicide, among other charges. And, rightfully so, given the circumstances,
Mr. Rittenhouse pleaded not guilty to all charges. During the trial, the judge dismissed
additional charges of “possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor” and
violating a curfew that were leveled at Rittenhouse. The jury’s deliberations
started earlier this week.
Jerry must have not watched the videos showing
Rittenhouse running away from the crowd. He must have also missed the guy
kicking him in the face and another swinging a skateboard at him and will need
to remind me where it was that Rambo put out a fire, acted as a medic, or
cleaned up graffiti and trash in the streets. Rittenhouse was put into a
position of having TO DEAL with a situation that was not of his own making. That
would be the Democrats who allow rampaging hoodlums to destroy their cities. The
blame should’ve been put on the governor and mayor who should’ve put a stop to
the burning, looting and the destruction of property. The blood is on their
hands!
At any other time here in America, those violent,
threatening rioters would have all been thrown in paddy wagons and hauled off
to jail, or the funny farm, where they rightfully belong, and that would be the
end of the story permanently. And if Mr. Rittenhouse was black and had come to
Kenosha to protect businesses and ended up in the same situation, he wouldn’t
have been charged, the media would ignore him. It’s not a racial issue. It’s Americans’
right to defend themselves no matter what race they are. The ‘fake news’ media tries
to put this racist crap on whites and when we refuse to stand against it proves
to them that we are all racist.
The woke mob and Democrat Party
are now punishing people with their kangaroo courts and denying them their
Constitutional rights. Mr. Rittenhouse should never have been charged in the
first place and that’s clear even those like Jerry. And if getting kicked in
the head and hit with a skateboard is no longer self-defense, nothing ever will
be. But the left wanted to send a message that they will burn and loot whatever
city they choose and those who try and stop them will pay a price. The mob is likely
already making out their Christmas list, awaiting the verdict, so they can go
on their little shopping spree with absolutely no fear of apprehension of
punished.
