I get the impression you’re desperate to find something wrong in all this. Careful, you risk falling in with all the low IQ, anti-American narratives.
The Rittenhouse victory was a great victory for the cause of defending America.
Meanwhile, if you think your argument will hold, first you’ll have to criticize all the 17 year old patriots who fought the British in the Revolution.
Like so many others, you totally miss my point.
The trial was about self defense.
There were some remarks made here relating to self defense.
I made the comment that one of the first rules of self defense is to avoid situations where self defense is likely to be required.
Bars after midnight, riots, etc.
My remark was meant as a word of caution to those who think the courts are right every time. Every honest lawyer will tell you that court is a crap shoot.
But I suspect that he wishes he had stayed home that night.
