Thomas Binger, Kyle Rittenhouse Prosecuting Attorney, Is A Dangerous And Stupid Man

BY Herschel Smith
2 years, 5 months ago

I have previously called for criminal charges against Thomas Binger, the PA in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, for having suborned perjury in the case.  He’s an awful man without scruples or ethics of any sort.

Now we find out that he’s just plain dumb.

Prosecutor takes the AR (an admitted exhibit), says his assistant has “ checked it to be sure it isn’t loaded.” Then, without himself opening the action to confirm unloaded, raises it and points it in the direction of the jury!

Source.

Folks, this isn’t a game, show or circus act, even though the PA’s been allowed to turn it into that.

Let’s make it clear.  It wouldn’t have even mattered if he had performed a chamber check himself, or if 100 people had done that.

It’s called defense in depth, where there are redundant means of ensuring safety.  Nuclear Power Plants are designed that way.  Commercial aircraft are designed that way.

Gun safety is managed that way.  Perform a chamber check, and then handle the weapon as if it’s loaded.

Do not point the weapon at anything you don’t intend to destroy, and know your backstop.  In this case he has his finger inside the trigger well on the trigger.  He’s violating two of the most sacred rules of gun safety.

It would have been entirely legitimate had someone from the jury stood up and shouted, “Stop pointing the gun at us, you moron!”

    Obviously a graduate of the Alec Baldwin school of gun safety.

    He actually pulled the trigger, for dramatic effect, while pointing the weapon at the jury.

    With this photograph and his actions, Binger has morphed himself into eternal memery, as THE icon of firearm stupidity.

    Is this not a felony?

    @Fred,

    Yes. Felony assault doesn’t actually have to involve shooting at someone. Many citizens have been prosecuted for just this thing (i.e., pointing a weapon at someone).

    This is also felony endangerment.

    If a jury member had been armed (I know, that isn’t going to happen in a courtroom), he could have legitimately shot that idiot.

    DA. Not for long, unless that state has gone to far towards the commies.

  12. On November 15, 2021 at 5:35 pm, Hudson H Luce said:

    It would have been legit for any member of that jury to take that idiot down and relieve him of his weapon. As for beating Binger senseless, that would be quite a trick, inasmuch as Binger is already at that point.

    Hopefully someone on the jury is a gun owner and will inform the others of how big a douchebag this twit is. That is , if they already haven’t figured that out for themselves.

    This happened in South Africa, two years ago:

    “A South African prosecutor reportedly has died this week after a gun brought inside a courtroom as part of the evidence in a home robbery case accidentally discharged – striking her in the hip.”

    And Porky the pig prosecutor next to him isn’t any smarter. That clown was telling the jury Kyle just should have taken the beating and no big deal. I bet if you looked at him cross-eyed he would piss himself and have you arrested.
    The defense should have shown how low a bar police consider defensible shooting. If the cops shoot Daniel Shaver, and walk away calling it self defense. Kyle should walk no problem.
    But what won’t be entered into evidence is that every bit of this cowardly prosecution is political. And has nothing to do with justice. Or even law for that matter.
    Shameful just doesn’t describe it.
    The only laws violated are Kyle’s rights.

    I knew Binger was a condescending smarmy commie with less common sense than a squirrel collecting nuts in the middle of a busy freeway. However, this picture, well..

    At first, I thought the picture was a fake, because I didn’t believe anyone could be that stupid.

    I honestly didn’t know it was legal to point a firearm in a threatening manner in order to make a point.

    Oh wait, that’s called, “brandishing” and is illegal in most states.

    xtphreak- I asked about the lack of sights, and somebody said they removed them to fit in the case they had for it. I would call that tampering with evidence.

    Binger is NOT STUPID.

    Binger is arrogant. He is a member of the nomenklatura. The laws do not apply to him. Reality itself does not apply to him.

    He did not point a weapon at people in the courtroom.

    He is, right now, as you read this, pointing it directly AT YOU, you gullible proles. He is rubbing your nose in the stinking pile of death he will inflict on you and yours for any slightest failure to submit.

    Stop providing people like him with the excuse that what he does is mere stupidity.

    He is not the stupid one.

    Put it this way:

    Binger calmly awaits the day he can simply spray the crowd with bullets and blame them for their own deaths.

    And he will be absolutely right, because they didn’t weren’t prepared to defend themselves.

    Re: “Yes. Felony assault doesn’t actually have to involve shooting at someone. Many citizens have been prosecuted for just this thing (i.e., pointing a weapon at someone). This is also felony endangerment.”

    To coin a phrase, “rules are for the little people.” PA Binger is deep-state, and therefore in no danger whatsoever of being censured, let alone criminally-charged for his reckless and wholly unnecessary conduct. For decades now, district attorneys and prosecuting attorneys have had far-too-much power, but nothing has been done about it. Why, you might ask? The answer is anarcho-tyranny.

    The late Sam Francis coined the term, a neologism he created to describe the reality of much of life in the U.S. in the present day (and much of the West as well), namely that a part of society lives under de facto tyranny, and is punished for the slightest infraction of the law, whereas privileged members and classes within that same society are free to run riot, causing chaos, mayhem and violence – in other words, to cause anarchy – without penalty at all, or with only a slap on the wrist as punishment.

    Binger is a privileged member of the deep-state, specifically part of its enforcement arm. He’s de facto above the law, and won’t be punished for his recklessness and abuse of the jurors and the audience in that courtroom.

    Rittenhouse, on the other hand, is an ordinary American whose skin color, values and other characteristics do not check off the “correct” victimology/identity boxes so beloved of the “woke” crowd, and therefore he is judged as the enemy, even though the communists won’t use that word in court. Therefore, he is expendable, as far as they are concerned – even though in a sane nation still governed by the rule of law, Rittenhouse never would have been charged in the first place.

    This whole episode is part two of the George Zimmerman Affair, and only the names and faces have changed. Biden isn’t Obama, but might as well be.

    Even if Rittenhouse is acquitted criminally, he and his family are almost certain to face charges in civil court, which could ruin them financially and stigmatize the young man for life. Which is precisely the point the deep-state is trying to make: “This is what happens to those who attempt to exercise their Second Amendment ‘rights’ as Americans…”
