Fascinating take yet again Steve. So the message should be with an acquittal, guys like young Kyle will make it okay to show up and kill people. Otherwise the wrong message will be sent to the "thugs" and they will just go about plundering. Damn, i thought that was what we had a police force for.
There are two sides to every story. The simple reality is this; he didn't belong there with his illegal automatic rifle in hand. He was a minor who should have been at home away from the goofs looting and burning. He put himself in harms way and now he wants absolution for killing two men, well because he's just a guy trying to help out. What freaking nonsense.
And let's not forget the idiot judge who looks and sounds like he needs a couple of years in a cell with bubba who can help ground him in our judicial system and that it should be blind from their own bias.
"But if the Rittenhouse jury convicts him of the most serious charges—intentional homicide—that sends a chilling message." Horse crap. Dude wasn't there to "render aid" he wasn't qualified to help anyone. He had one reason to be there with a weapon. And he did it.
Now that's not saying I think he should be guilty of the most serious charge. But if he is found guilty it isn't some miscarriage of justice. It is the simple fact that the kid has horrible parents who let him endanger himself and others and he ended up paying for it. That should be the message that is sent all across America the way violence seems to be more and more prevalent throughout this country.
One of the nice things about this trial is that there's no reason for me to have any strong opinions on it. That's what a jury is for. If the jury votes to convict - that's great. If the jury votes to acquit - that's swell as well. There was lots of Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes going on that night, and we have juries precisely to untangle these situations.
What is with the judge allowing Rittenhouse to select the jurors out of a hat? That is so weird...
