UPDATE: The Judge in Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial has ruled defense lawyers can refer to the men Rittenhouse killed as “rioters” and “looters,” but prosecutors may not call them “victims” at any time during the trial until closing arguments. For the defense to use the terms “rioters” and “looters”, the defense must provide evidence to support the use of the terms.

“The word victim is a loaded, loaded word,” Schroeder said.

****ADDED FOR MISSING CONTEXT (3:55pm Oct 26th)

[Judge Bruce Schroeder cautioned the defense team against using pejorative terms during opening statements, but he said they could use them in their closing arguments ...]

“He can demonize them if he wants, if he thinks it will win points with the jury,” Schroeder said.

This ruling comes after Judge Schroeder has ruled Prosecutors cannot show the link between Rittenhouse and the Proud Boys in a court appearance on Sept 17th.

Defense attorney Corey Chirafisi said their side commissioned an expert analysis of the contents of Rittenhouse's cell phone. He said the report from that analysis found that the phone's contents "(do) not establish that the user belonged to or even had any interest in any militia-style organizations."

The judge sided with the defense.

Judge Schroeder, who said states he hasn’t heard of the Proud Boys prior to this case, said Rittenhouse's public appearance with members of the group wasn't relevant to the night of the shootings. He ruled against allowing the information about Rittenhouse's connections to the Proud Boys from being a part of the upcoming homicide trial.

Kyle Rittenhouse trial begins November 1st.

Re-post via Facebook Group regarding today's events in the Crypto world:

"Today might go down as the biggest humanitarian effort in the history of crypto - and , powered by all of you made it happen!!!"

"You may have noticed a temporary 30% dip in your SHIB value but what is amazing is that VB, the Ethereum founder, donated SHIB tokens equaling over $1 billion dollars to the “India COVID-Crypto Fund” to combat COVID in India."

"While the US and other countries have a good amount of their population vaccinated, starting to open up and get back to a more normal existence - India is still losing 4,000 people per day (over 250,000 total reported, but experts are saying it is probably more like 3x that)."

"This is because “India is experiencing a devastating COVID surge with 3.7 million active cases and less than 3 percent of the 1.4 billion population fully vaccinated as of Monday. Both cities and rural areas have been hit and the already-weak health care infrastructure is crumbling”

"This power play by the genius VB himself has not only saved lives, it has shown that true decentralization WORKS and can make a difference!"

"And for those of you here as investors, realize this strategic marketing move has gotten us in front of MILLIONS of people. Pretty soon the WHOLE WORLD will know about us!
With all the Meme coins he has (ie. Kishu Inu, Dogelon, etc) HE CHOSE SHIB!!!!! Not even his own crypto - ETH!"

"Look at the numbers! We are gaining 10s of thousands of followers per day! This group, the SHIB ARMY, is gaining 5k new members per day!!!!"

"Some of you with paper hands and others giving into the FUD that he “RUGGED” us, look at his wallet! He still owns a ton of SHIBA & BONE!"

"Ryoshi, ’s creator, gave him a personal shout out thanking him, and claiming this is just the beginning!!!!
If that isn’t enough for you, sent out a personal message, recognizing this community and committing to not taking any action that will specifically hurt our community."

"Look in your heart and you will see that this action was from a pure intent...
VB did this..
We, the did this...
YOU did this..."

"So, after a 1,392% increase this past week due to celebs like Antonio Brown, The Situation, Nick Carter, and a bunch of big time Asian Influencers noticing $SHIBAToken, being added into the biggest exchanges out there - and BREAKING them, we saw a 30% drop off."

"SO WHAT?!!!"

"If you zoom out to the bigger picture since SHIBs inception, we’ve seen these dips before and we continue to bounce back to new heights."

"Crypto, VB and specifically SHIB, powered by this wonderful community has saved the lives of 100s of thousands of people.
For all of you that ’d today, held your Diamond Hands high, you will be rewarded when launches soon.
Those of you that will be part of history!"
