I love this kid and contributed to his defense.
This is a grim situation. His fight hasn’t even begun and before it ends he’ll be demoralized, beaten, raped,burned and everything in between. If he doesn’t prevail we’ll have legally sanctioned lynch mobs after all of us. If he wins he’ll likely be hunted the rest of his life.
Maybe it’s a tad early for celebrating. We might find a dirge more appropriate to recall the event.
On Marty’s same album us the song “Utah Carol”, about a Cowboy who knowingly sacrifice his life to save another. I was raised by a WWII vet who put his life on the line for America. Sometimes it’s a choice a Man makes.

I agree. It’s the American way to find humor in events. But the Texas Ranger in the original ‘Big Iron’ song did not end up in jail. Even if Rittenhouse is found innocent*, he will be spending months in jail (juvie?) awaiting his trial. I doubt if he will be given bail.
* My prediction: Rittenhouse will be found innocent of the shooting, but guilty on a weapons charge (he is too young to open-carry in Wisconsin). Some have said that he was on private property, and was forced into the street. That may or may not fly.
Same here. Make sure donations are to the correct website. There is a Fightback foundation in Colorado for kids and school choice.
The correct site to donate to Kyle's defense is #Fightback at https://fightback.law/ which has a page devoted to donations for Kyle.
