Let's say by some miracle Rittenhouse didn't do it, but these folks were still shot: They're still victims. The judge is just trying to switch to words that are loaded in a way he prefers.

But referring to them as "rioters", "looters" and "arsonists" isn't loaded? And even if any of them did any of those things, they can still be "victims" in the murder case, can't they? WTF
A Wisconsin judge ruled Monday that attorneys in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial could refer to the men the teen shot in Kenosha, Wis., last year as “rioters,” “looters” and “arsonists.” They could not, however, describe Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, who were killed, and Gaige Grosskreutz, who was wounded, as “victims” because the term was “loaded,” the judge said.

(the court feels) that embarrassment does have a valuable place in deterring criminality.” Schroeder upheld the condition when asked to reconsider in a post-conviction motion.
