The trial of alleged arsonist Joshua Ziminski has been postponed again. The trial was slated for January 31, 2022. It was then postponed until today, March 28, 2022 due to allegations of witness intimidation. Due to the unavailability of Ziminski’s attorney, Michael Barth, the trial was postponed today until June 21, 2022. Ziminski is accused of arson and shooting a pistol on August 25, 2022, the night Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two men in self-defense during the riots.

Jogie, don”t feel icky when you look at his photos. Just look at him as a defective tattooed carrot. I like how he attempts to “Mean mug” Kevin taking the picture while thinking, “I don’t like the shit you’re saying about me.” His attempts to intimidate are lame. He is into self mutilation with the tats and the wooden pegs in his ears. He hates himself, I assure you.

Looks like sh*t-for-brains Zaminski doesn’t know the proper use and effective way of wearing ear plugs. They’re supposed to go in the ear canal, not like a stake into the lobe. Idiot!
