Liberals already have lost their mind over Kyle Rittenhouse, but also over Bruce Schroeder who is the judge in this case.
They’re disturbed that he’s made some rulings in favor of the defense. Then they’ve also gone off into conspiracy tin-foil hat land after the judge’s ringtone on his phone was alleged to be “God Bless the USA,” the Lee Greenwood tune that President Donald Trump plays at his rally. Apparently, it’s bad and biased to listen to music that appreciates this country.
Some people lost their minds after he joked about how the Asian food deliveries they were waiting for at the court had been delayed due to the supply chain crisis. This comment, which was not racist by critics, was made into a racist joke.
The petition was even filed to remove the judge from his office. Except — small problem — they directed it to the Illinois State House. They are both in Wisconsin for the trial.
They went over the edge when yesterday’s judge acknowledged Veterans Day.
Judge Schroeder wanted to know if any veterans were present in the courtroom. John Black, a defense witness and expert on the use of force, was the only one to admit that he is a veteran. The judge then led a round of applause for “people who’ve served our country.” Some clapped, including some of the jurors.
Now, the judge was obviously meaning to recognize anyone who served, it wasn’t meant as something beneficial to the defense. But that didn’t stop the critics and media who went off again, calling it another example of the judge’s bias.
Here’s a sample of how some media played it, claiming the judge was telling the court to applaud for a defense witness, which is a dishonest spin of what went down.

In general, it’s not a good idea to appear to favor any witness so you would want to avoid anything that would seem to do so.
The same people that have a heart attack over Veterans Day recognition are also the people who don’t seem to care about the improper prosecution and the way they violated the rights of defendants in this case. They seem not to care about the greater issue — that this was self-defense and this case should never have been brought.
Closing arguments are likely to be Monday, then the case will be given to the jury if the judge doesn’t otherwise act on the motion made by the defense for a mistrial with prejudice.
