Judge in Rittenhouse Case Reportedly Receives Threatening Emails
The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse - a US teenager who shot two people dead and injured another last year in Kenosha and claimed he was only defending himself - has drawn the attention of many across the world. The case has divided observers into two opposing camps: those who believe Rittenhouse is guilty, and those who call for him to be released.
Bruce Schroeder, who is the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, appears to have gained some haters, as he has received several threatening emails, according to
The Daily Mail.
Apart from insults and criticism, Schroeder has also reportedly received threats aimed at his family, his children in particular. One of the emails cited by the Daily Mail referred to how Schroeder prohibited the prosecutor to call those shot by Rittenhouse "victims".
"So I can't call the wounded men victims, says ur judge one day hope his kids become victims to the most heinous homicide known to man so he feels the pain an we will call his kids not victims but b******* an descendent a of c*** family an father figure [sic]", the angry email reads. "Racist bastard god will pay u back for ur statement [...]".
Other messages slam Schroeder as a "racist", claiming that under his black court robe he "wear[s] a white robe of the [Ku Klux] klan".
"There is no way a fair trial can be heard under your supervision. Better yet, resign", the email continues.
"Enjoy your term, judge, it’s going to be your LAST", one message read. "If I ever meet you in person, I fully intend to spit directly into your face, regardless the cost. You’re disgusting".
According to the report, while some of the messages were anonymous, others were signed with full names.
Schroeder himself
told the Washington Examiner that over the course of the trial, he and his staffers have received "thousands of communications" and promised to "deal" with those who sent the threatening messages.
"I wouldn't want to be those people", he said.
