Probably good advice to give a 17-year old kid. But not so good to a 21-year old adult who sees it his duty to protect property, the livelihood, and likely the life of a friend whose business is being attacked by rioters and the police are ordered to stand down.
I don't think it's good advice. Kyle was and is a hero. A streetcleaning hero.
He should run for mayor of Kenosha, then guvner, then president.
I was still 17 when I joined the Marine Corps (Moms consent of course), just barely 18 when I graduated from Boot Camp.
A persons calendar age, once over 15 or 16, has very little to do with their ability to think and act like what is called a “legal adult”.
I have known many very young people who were more adult thinking than a lot of the 21 to 40’s folks I have known.
Most of it boils down to your life and the decisions and consequences you had to live with as a young person.
Thats the way I see it.
