And now they have a new role model in Kyle Rittenhouse, who goes free to shoot a few more rowdy liberals. In self defense, of course. Wherever he can track them down.
There does seem to be a school of thought that KR should be locked up because certain people have made him their role model. I think that’s a bit of a stretch.
He should be locked up because he brought his assault rifle (across a state line, for whatever that is worth) to kill people, which he proceeded to do. The mere fact that Republicans idolize him is not his problem. That’s ours.
I thought that he didn't carry the rifle across state lines, that was just made up by someone (bearish?!). Fact check, anyone?!
(But I agree the state-line thing is odd. I once witnessed an attempted murder but the police didn't do anything because "by the time they'd get there the accused would have been in a different jurisdiction.")
It was perfectly legal for him to carry the gun. And apparently it's perfectly legal to kill someone in self defence. Which is sort of the point of the second amendment. If you're being chased by someone who throws things at you and you hear a gun go off, you might be a bit worried for your safety. And then someone hits you with a skateboard. And then a third person draws a gun on you. Well, it's not going to end well.
