Rittenhouse judge in spotlight after disallowing word 'victims' in courtroom.

As he set the ground rules for the trial [of Kyle Rittenhouse, who faces multiple charges for allegedly gunning down two men during 2020's unrest], Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder said that the label "victim" is a "loaded word" and that even the use of "alleged victim" is too close, telling prosecutors that "complaining witness" or "decedent" are acceptable alternatives.

Schroeder, however, ordered that other words could be used — "rioters," "looters" or "arsonists" — if Rittenhouse's defense attorneys can provide the evidence that they had engaged in those acts.
...
While legal experts and lawyers familiar with state laws say Schroeder is well within his authority to set boundaries on language, his rule sets the stage for further scrutiny in a highly charged trial that has captured national attention. "That's pretty standard in his courtroom to not allow 'victim,'" said Ted Kmiec, a local criminal defense lawyer.

Taxing unrealized gains on the average taxpayer will result in a heavy tax burden and could severely impact retirement savings amongst other forms of income/investment. As always, billionaires will be able to afford tax attorneys that find ways around these taxes, while the ordinary taxpayer will face the brunt of the tax."
