We are pretty close in our positions. He was an untrained civilian who armed himself against an angry mob. This could not have ended well. Anyone with that kind of mindset doesn't have the politics that I'd agree with.

That said, I can see why he would be motivated to do so, and more importantly I cannot see how *after* that decision was made and he faced that encounter, anyone else would have done better than he did. So I would not convict him of murder. If they had brought in a charge of stupidity and poor judgement, then I would convict him of that.

< absolute stupidity to be walking along with a gun>

As with most tragedies, making it happen required multiple avoidable failures:

1. Police not protecting businesses
2. Rioters, using violence to protest police violence. That’s like “pro-life” people who advocate killing abortion doctors.
3. “Friend” who illegally buys a gun for an untrained boy.
4. Store-owner who allows that boy to do what only trained police should be doing.
5. Rioters trying to arrest (or maybe kill) the armed boy. Again, that is a job done well, only by trained professionals.
6. Liberals making heroes of the undisciplined rioters, which will cause more of the same.
7. Conservatives making a hero of the idiot boy….which will encourage others to imitate him.

Several Republican lawmakers dangled congressional internships for Kyle Rittenhouse, joining a coalition of right-wing voices celebrating the Kenosha shooter after his acquittal on Friday. “Kyle, if you want an internship reach out to me,” Rep. Madison Cawthorn wrote in the caption of an Instagram story on Friday. He followed fellow GOP representatives Matt Gaetz, who teased an internship for Rittenhouse on Wednesday, and Paul Gosar, who threatened to arm-wrestle Gaetz for the chance to hire the teen as an intern. thedailybeast.com

We are becoming a nation where public political protests regularly become gunfights.
