As the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has progressed, Americans who hope for a successful conviction have begun to focus their attentions on the true villain of the piece: the 75-year-old presiding judge, Bruce Schroeder.
Among the many accusations that have been leveled at Schroeder this week are that he is “biased,” that he is “prejudiced,” that he is a secret “conservative,” “right-winger,” or “Trumpist,” that he is a “a gun nut,” that he is a “a racist” or wannabe member of the Klan, that he is the “worst judge in town,” and that he is attempting to parlay this trial into a “gig on FOX News or OAN, or whatever.” If, as seems eminently possible, Rittenhouse is acquitted of all the charges that have been brought against him by the state, one suspects that a lot of the resulting opprobrium will fall on Schroeder.
