"I agree that Kyle should not have been on the streets of Kenosha that night with a rifle. I also agree that officials sanctioned terrible violence against small businesses by doing nothing or by explicitly telling police to stand down. If my community was so threatened, I honestly don’t know what I would do."

I really wish more people had the empathy and the honesty to admit this. I would bet my life's savings that most of the people talking about how evil and racist the militia was, would have been grateful for any help they could get if it were *their* homes and businesses being destroyed by looters.

I completely agree with you, Rittenhouse absolutely shouldn't have been on the street that night. But the fact that he was, was one point of failure in a long line of failures stretching back at least two days. It's ridiculous to ignore all of that context and pretend everything would have been fine if he'd stayed home.

p.s. 😅 Well remembered on that, "Why are you like this?" comment. I was genuinely bewildered after the 10th comment or so.
