Barnes tactics are likely effective in a certain type of venue, but his very presence is likely to impact the proceedings in some negative way. barnes had made this very case himself. as sterile as we like to regard judicial proceedings, the actual courtroom is anything but. it's all politics and innuendo. in a small town like kenosha, that is likely even more relevant because everyone knows everyone else's business. Kyle's best bet, imo, is that the locals view the whole blm invasion as something they want nothing to do with, and they clear kyle just to tell 'big city folk' to fuck off.
