Rittenhouse in Some Hot Water As Prosecutors Seek His Arrest

-


Prosecutors are looking to have Kyle Rittenhouse arrested and his bail increased because he moved to a new residence without notifying the court of his new address which is a violation of his bail agreement. After Rittenhouse relocated he had 48 hours to notify the court of his new address, but failed to do so. Prosecutors want Rittenhouse arrested and $200,000 added to his bail and their argument is that he's charged with very serious crimes that could result in life in prison-- what's to stop him from fleeing because any charges associated with fleeing will virtually just be numbers on a page if he gets life. 

Rittenhouse's lawyers say that Rittenhouse had to move because he was receiving death threats and the reason the address was kept secret was to protect him. Rittenhouse's defense team assures that they are constant contact with their client while he has been at this new "safe house". 

Personally I think all of this is a bunch of B.S. Kyle should have never been released on bail if they were afraid for his safety and if him being free on the street was a concern they should have gone to the court and requested some sort of protection for Kyle until trial. This is all just a bunch of moves carefully orchestrated to make Kyle look like he's a victim. 

They didn't tell the court because they wanted the prosecution to try and file new charges that way people would read in the headlines how Kyle is afraid for his life and had to relocate. It's all just about optics because like I said, if they had those fears about Kyle's life they could have sent him back to jail and had him in protective custody until trial or they could have asked the judge for some other form of protective services until trial. 

People already see Kyle as some sort of hero when the simple fact of the matter he is a criminal. First off he planned to attend the protest in another state which meant that he knew where he was going and who he was going to meet with. He also knew he was going to take a gun with him and being a gun enthusiast he should have known that it is only legal to carry a firearm across state lines if you have a reasonable excuse for carrying it on your trip and the final destination has to be the same destination for which you have a permit for that gun. 

What that means is that if I am driving through Virginia on my way to Maryland to visit my sister and I get pulled over with a gun in the car, as long I as explain to the cop I am just travelling to visit my sister and I keep the gun for protection the only thing he will need to see is the permit for the gun to verify that it is registered. As long as my intent is to stay for a day or two and return to my original location I shouldn't have a problem. 

In Kyle Rittenhouse's case, he wasn't carrying a gun under any normal circumstances that would justifiably explain what he did. Think about it. He had a plan to meet with a bunch of people who were all told to bring guns. He wasn't going hunting. He wasn't going on vacation to grandma's house. He was going to one location with a weapon he wasn't legally allowed to own or even carry. That alone sounds like a enough to be arrested, but he ends up shooting two people in what they are calling self defense. 

I won't argue semantics, but I will say that if that 17-year old had been at home in his own state those two people may not be dead, but because Kyle was influenced by his mother and those people he met up with that night of the protest those people are dead. I think Kyle's parents should be charged as well. They were the ones who let him have the gun, they were the ones who took him across state lines, and they are the ones who are supposed to be responsible for him. 

I can't say for sure how this case will turn out but I hope Kyle gets life in prison at the very least. The reason we have gun laws are to prevent people from doing exactly what Kyle did and he needs to be made an example of on a national level. If you carry a gun across state lines and you have no legitimate reason to do so then you should be charged to the fullest extent of the law.

Here's Are Some Thing I've Learned From Growing My Cannabis Plant

Growing my plant turned out to be a complete waste of time. The whole appeal of DIY growing was not having to spend money on bud. From what I understand, a plant can yield about a pound of marijuana which would have lasted me at least 6 months, however, my plant turned out to be a male which is basically useless.  I know, I know...what do you mean useless? Well, male plants aren't the ones we smoke; it's the female plants that produce the potent sticky icky bud we all love.  Yes, I'm disappointed that my own grow was a bust, however, I figured I could at least share the things I learned along the way.  Male Plants versus Female Plants If you happen to come across a seed, or two, there's no way to tell whether or not a plant is male or female until it starts to grown, so my first tip is that if you only have the one seed, pray...pray real hard or skip planting all together because if you do end up with a male plant, it's more of a hassle than it's worth.  Serious

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.  I live in, literally, the middle of God's green no where right now and I don't have a car.  Each time I've saved up money to get myself a car something happens.  For instance, I was up about $5k when the pandemic happened and I was just about to pull the trigger on getting a car, but at the time people were getting laid off and business was slowing down.  I figured it would be mighty stupid of me to take on this rather large financial obligation knowing that there's a chance I could be laid off.  Sure as shit, a month later, I was laid off. I wasn't at any great loss for not having a car at the time because I was living in NC and could walk, bike, or Uber/Lyft wherever I needed to go.  It sucked not having a car and having to walk places, but I swallowed my pride and did what I needed to do to make it.  Here, I can't walk anywhere. I can't Uber anywhere, so me getting a

Update for my Loyalists

I feel bad that I didn't do a podcast episode last week and feel bad that I don't feel like doing one this week. To be honest, every time I skip a podcast episode I left myself down more than anyone, but I think right now I'm going to put them on hold until I find another job, or get some money. It's hard to keep motivated when I'm stressing about money and trying to find a job. I wish I had the support and freedom to just focus on making my media company a success, but when you don't have money to eat it takes away from your focus.  I'm not sleeping well at night because my problems keep me up. Sometimes I'll stay up until I literally pass out and I know that's not good. I know that it's a sign that I'm depressed. I try to wake up every day and pretend everything is alright and I'm alright, but I'm not.  Everyday it's a struggle to keep my wits about me. I woke up one morning recently, went out side, found a huge stick, and slamm
