It does not justify the mindless lack of control that allowed the kid to go in the first place. I don't know where his father is, hopefully he didn't provide the weapon. The mother ought to be in jail for failing to exercise control of a minor living in her home.
This is Kenosha, not portland. It is not that police failed to put down rioter for months. The cop only shot the guy last week.
You got any kids? If living in the home, would you let them go to a riot, especially taking a weapon out of the house to go to a riot? Would you let your kid go to a riot armed in another state? What would have been your answer to your kid if they even spoke of going?
All I can tell you is young men were honored, in retrospect, for joining the armed forces and going to war during WWII despite being under aged.
I would not want my son going to battle against the evil of the array of sick evil devils we see in Kenosha
but what Kyle Rittenhouse did is not unprecedented in our nation's history, though it is the exception.
We used to see such actions as honorable and admirable.
Some people run away from a fight. Some run towards it.
It's truly sad and unfortunate that democrat strongholds continue to be ground zero for arson, violence, theft and attempted murder.
We wouldn't have to worry or complain about unusual young men running towards a fight if not for these
breeding grounds for riots and nascent revolutions.
That's the real crime and the real shame of it all. What you choose to complain about says
a lot about you.
