We all remember Kenosha back in 2020, basically the run down is a wanted rapist was justifiably shot while trying to abduct children in a stolen car by Kenosha police, and this alleged “injustice” was used as a pretext to deploy Antifa to Kenosha to do their normal number. While an armed hero named Kyle Rittenhouse was ambushed and subjected to an attempted assasination by numerous Antifa militants, well two of those AM’s were Joshua and Kelly Ziminski, they were helping registered child rapist Joseph Rosenbaum start fires and the Ziminskis themselves were illegally armed with guns which they were firing in the air and threatening people with.

Now prosecutor Binger purposefully slow walked their charges, he did this because he didn’t want the Ziminskis to be able to testify at Rittenhouse’s trial because he feared they would be shredded by Kyle’s defense team. After the Rittenhouse trial Joshua still has not been tried on those arson charges while Kelly took a sweetheart plea and was on parole.

That is until last month, it’s now come to light the Ziminskis face 5 decades in prison because they decided in August of this year to break into someone’s house, hold the homeowner at knifepoint, and then the homeowner had no cash at home, they drove him to multiple ATMs trying to extort him.


Just wild. Which goes to show that there is a reason why many leftists are all about “defund the police” these are the types of people they openly welcome into their “protests”. They are then protected by the system. If Kenosha’s DA brought these characters to trial in 2021 they would be in prison and the public would’ve been safe from them. But see that would mean once convicted they couldn’t claim the 5th amendment to avoid being questioned by Kyle’s lawyers. For a lot of blue types, public safety is less important then show trials.

Unfortunately, I doubt there are any leftists who truly wish to defund the police. If you ask a typical leftist idiot if he really wants to defund the police, the first thing they'll tell you is that the word defund doesn't mean to defund.

The majority of the "Defund Cops" Movement merely think that Cops have waay too much on their plates, including way to many people having mental breakdowns that end up being shot by Cops, who are not equipped to deal with mental illness etc

They were charged with multiple felonies. Seems like the system worked to me.

That was the story circulated after the party elite realized it was costing them votes.

But they platform people who literally call for the abolition of police and prisons, except presumably the one they wanted to throw Rittenhouse in.

Defund the police doesn’t mean they want to hire more civilian employees. And in any event that suggestion is Just to suggest a jobs program for democratic voters anyway.

Once their conduct got too bad to ignore. However they were shielded politically to aid in the unjust prosecution of Rittenhouse. If they were properly charged earlier they would’ve been in prison now and not robbing homeowners

Did you eat some bad seafood or something before you regurgitated this word vomit? Because the stench of it is kind of making me sick.

What evidence do you have that they were politically shielded? They are both facing more than 50 years in prison.

No it did not, the Right Wing fear mongers fanned the flames of fear and paranoia.

"Defund the police" had to be the dumbest political slogans I have heard in my lifetime. They took an idea that many police themselves endorse (your comment above touches on it) and poisoned it with that phrase.

My Cousin a retired Portland Oregon Police Officer agreed with the basic premise, he said that's essentially what they had been asking for, for years. And yes it may have been a poor choice of words, since so many, mostly from "The Right" could not parse the meaning of the word, and assumed it meant 'to abolish'

Snappy slogans are easy to take out of context, and the GOP uses this to its advantage on people who are unaware of what these slogans actually refer to.
 
Police are like defense in that both are wildly overfunded. With policing, no one wants to fund services that actually help marginalized people, but they're always willing to get tough on them.
 
The OP relied on a source with a distinctly Right Wing Nut slant. Did any of you notice the link to a porn site?

Check out some other articles published by the same source:


You can also read the story via the more liberal slanted Kenosha News:

 
It's a surprise to me any Republicans are on here at all talking about lack of justice or codling someone who should be locked the **** up. It truly is.
I'd think you'd stay as far away from these subjects as you could, given the climate surrounding your lack of consideration for the law, and any justice that is given in our system.

But by all means, drift down the hypocrisy river, again, and again. You look even worse when you do.

There is no meaning to parse. The sentence literally means remove all funding from the police. If you heard the phrase “defund medicare” you wouldn’t never accept that meant “reorganize Medicare to be more efficient and provide seniors with more doctors”

Unless your defense is literally that leftists can’t write in English, Stop trying to gaslight everyone

The KCE provided the best trial coverage. And you can tell they’re right because Prosecutor Kraus was whining in open court about the KCE in front of the jury, including in closing arguments

They are NOW after committing crimes unrelated to a riot.

They were politically shielded for their crimes in 2020 because the state wanted them “lawyered up” and not convicted (which would trigger double jeopardy and make them witnesses the defense can compel to testify) so that the jury wouldn’t have to see these weirdos answer questions about why they’re setting shit on fire and firing guns and to what extent they were working up Rosenbaum

They have no shame. And much of that started with Rush Limbaugh.

Oh I see. They were out on bail for suspected arson during the riot. The laws governing bail are not a political shield. That's just how the law works.

Do you think being charged with committing arson during a riot warrants the revocation of bail? Kyle Rittenhouse got bail for actually killing two people. Do you think Rittenhouse was politically shielded?

They were not in prison because the state purposefully has not been pursuing prosecution. If Kyle was tried in November then there’s no reason Joshua should not have already been tried

The bail is immaterial. He shouldn’t be on bail for a crime committed in 2020 in almost 2023 either way.
