The prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is doing a bang-up job. Really. Just top-notch work:
Binger: You've played video games like Call of Duty where you shoot people.
Rittenhouse: It's a video game. It's not real life.

It’s not real life? That probably comes as a huge shock to Thomas Binger, who’s obviously extremely hip and with-it.
Prosecution now suggesting Kyle's occasional playing of Call of Duty means he had become accustomed to randomly shooting people. Unbelievable this is permitted.

Watch:
The prosecution questions Rittenhouse's choosing of an AR-15 because "it resembled the types of weapons that are used in first person shooter video games," in which gamers "pretty much shoot anyone who comes at you."

Or it would be incredible … if we hadn’t already seen what the prosecution thinks is brilliant strategy.
Jesus. Rittenhouse is making the prosecutor look like an idiot with this video game line of questioning. #RittenhouseTrial

Technically, Rittenhouse is helping Binger look like an idiot. Binger’s doing the heaviest lifting on his own.

"It resembles the weapons that are used in first-person shooter video games, right?" "When you hung out with Dominic you sometimes played Call of Duty… right?"
Here we go. Blaming video games.

Video games caused Rittenhouse to shoot Antifa

That’s Binger’s story, and he’s stickin’ to it!

Damn kids and their vidya games.
Just imagine arguing that another shooter was guilty because they listened to violent rap music.
Same idiotic rationale. https://t.co/s1JecpGRAm

Did Kyle Rittenhouse also listen to violent rap music? Because that would be a game changer.
I checked and I've said basically nothing on Rittenhouse as it's one of those things I'm happy to let a jury figure out, but holy crap is this prosecution of him looking stupid.

No kidding. Here’s another way to interpret Binger’s video game line of questioning:
The prosecutor just took as a given that those guys were coming at Rittenhouse. https://t.co/6UjXRHy2He

The prosecution was supposed to bury Kyle Rittenhouse. Instead, they’re digging their own grave.
This prosecutor is a moron.

This prosecutor is really, really, REALLY BAD.
— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) November 10, 2021
This may be the most incompetent prosecution since, "Hey OJ, why don't you try on this glove?"

Congratulations on this remarkable achievement, Mr. Binger et al.!
