I disagree with Kyle Rittenhouse's politics, and based on what I have read, I would acquit him. I haven't dug deeply into the details, so I could be missing something. But from what I've read, there is no way I that can see him guilty of murder. And while we are at it, I would have prosecuted the police force that told him attaboy when they should have been doing the job he tried to do.

Let's also point out the obvious. If Kyle was a black teen toting an AR-15 and shot a bunch of white folks in the exact same manner and was defended by a public defender, I suspect the outcome would have been far different.

It helps to have perspective. I think Kyle's legal fund was bulging at the seams. If he had a public defender, his outcome probably would have been different.

Money can buy better verdicts.

Matt is a great reporter. He should have a Pulitzer by now.

everybody is looking at the event going backwards..

Rittenhouse, a minor at the time, left his home armed, crossed a state line, and discharged his firearm.
He owns 50% of this event equation no matter what the courts or publics thinks.
One of two things, probably both, he's highly impressionistic or one very stupid asshole (stupidity isn't curable).

I place much problem on a 2008 Supreme court.. especially Anthony Scalia, the "conservative" court in
liberalizing the intent of the 2nd amendment, with the Supreme Court's 1st conclusive interpretation of the
2nd Amendment since it's ratification in 1791.

The purity of Scalia's (questionable) writings (thinking) ensured the availability of firearms in the protection of
one's home, but furthermore, as stated, should not cast doubt on the prohibition of firearms by felons, "retards",
or areas of sensitivity.

The floodgate opened.. think of it this way, go visit a firearms store and take note of the armament available for
sale. There's money/ politics in people's emotions & ultimately in others misery if things don't jive. The washout
be damned.

of note: I do not have any problems whatsoever of firearms in one's home.. but on exit, the ballpark complicates.
