The Associated Press leaves facts on the cutting room floor-RedState

The Associated Press is here again.Last month I wrote a criticism of the Associated Press fact checker, he clearly Did not check her factsThere are multiple factual errors in the article, including the central predicate fact that has not yet been corrected. Who checks the AP fact checker? who knows.Today’s version of AP word operation can be found here.

The lede is as follows:

The prosecutor in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial may have missed the best chance of convicting the Illinois man because the judge dismissed Rittenhouse as a minor with dangerous weapons Accusations of people.

Judge Schroeder did not “dismiss” the charges. He dismissed it because the regulations did not comply with the allegations. The defense filed a motion to dismiss, because the law stipulated that the barrel must be shorter than 16 inches to apply. Rittenhouse’s rifle had a barrel over 16 inches. Two plus two is still four. The prosecutors did not argue that the barrel was longer than 16 inches, they just complained.

Judge Schroeder asked whether the prosecution had any evidence that the barrel was smaller than 16 inches. They answered “no”. “Gun Charge” has never had a chance of surviving. Even if the jury is convicted for this, it will never be able to appeal. In short, this is not the best chance for the prosecution to convict—in fact, the worst chance.

This article was written yesterday on November 18^day , Explained how Rittenhouse shot two men and wounded another man during the “police brutal protest”.It has not admitted once that the city was destroyed by mob arson, nor has it admitted the total property damage caused by the riots over several consecutive nights. cost More than 50,000,000 US dollars. The word “riot” is not used once in the article.And, like most reports in the Associated Press about Kenosha’s “protest” against the police shooting Jacob Black, Black admitted that he had a knife and that the police who shot him were Clear Misconduct-those predicated facts remain on the cutting room floor.

Inconvenient fact.

It’s like Rittenhouse defending himself in front of a convicted child rapist and two other men with long-term criminal records.

Well, facts.
