I don’t have to quote tweets from both sides here. Just visit Twitter and search #Rittenhouse. Or go on Facebook. Or just watch the news. They’re all wrong, okay?
Also, don't count on the local laws in your area (or another state you head to play action hero) to be as poorly written or as forgiving as the ones in Wisconsin that allowed Rittenhouse to play G.I. Joe on the streets of Kenosha.
Mob behavior is unpredictable. Some people do things they would never otherwise do if they took a brief moment to think it over. That's why peaceful protests often do not remain peaceful when large crowds are involved. I think protests should be shut down at the first sign of looting, violence, arson or violence. Easier said than done unless crowd size is restricted and a serious peacekeeping force is present. I would expect outrage because my opinion would be seen by some as taking away free speech and the freedom to assemble. It's really not much different in principle than background checks for weapons purchase.
"Not guilty doesn't create a license to be stupid." Seemed to work out okay for Rittenhouse. Hell everyone should run out and buy an AR. Let's all just start slaughtering each other, its the christian way.
Where is the condemnation of the authorities that let this protest develop into a Riot and Millions of Dollars in Property destruction and countless lives turned upside down through this property destruction. Kyle was misguided in showing up with a firearm but if the rioting continues, in this way, others will overstep their authority to stop it in the future.
I like the column Steve, the problem of course is you're are trying to write from a logical position to people who have clear heads and are capable of digesting what you are telling them in some sort analytical perspective. Impossible to achieve when a third of the country, 15 to 17% of the populace on either side of the equation simply want to be angry and get even.
Like you, my wife said he would get off; and quickly told me she was right and i was wrong. Big shoulders, i'm used to it. I always hope for the wisdom of Solomon in these matters, this was one of those times where splitting the baby made sense and helped distill the hostilities that will come from it. Unfortunately, the one thing that was clear was the judge was closer to bozo the clown than to any type of wise man.
Both sides now will use this verdict to validate their arguments, vent their anger and stiffen their resolve. It was the worst of all outcomes and the country will continue to spiral downward. I see nothing on the horizon that will change it and this will hasten it further.
Young Kyle will become the hero to the far right and rather than feel any guilt for taking two people from this earth, he will be celebrated. I would love to believe i am wrong (again) and in this instant i would be delighted if i was. Unfortunately we will quickly be able to judge simply based on the number of programs he appears on like Hannity and the like.
His lawyer is a bold faced LIAR!! He just stood on tv and said Kyle was invited to provide security . Why would anyone ask a 17 year old from another state ? This is why we call lawyers “ liars”! There was testimony that no one was invited to provide security!

Well said Steve. Agree wholeheartedly with every point you made.

We'll see.
