With his last point the author seems to be challenging the notion that masculinity has an important place in polite society

The prosecutor made many mistakes in his weapon description (calling the AR-15 a “large caliber” weapon, for example, etc,) but I also remember hearing a few smaller mistakes on the defense side (that I can’t recall the specifics of at the moment.)

6. Stay Home, Be a Good Witness
Probably the most important lesson to be learned from Rittenhouse’s acquittal is that it never needed to happen. In much the same way that many folks are killed in their own front yards by going out to investigate strange noises instead of alerting the police,
***This guy’s advice is to NOT investigate strange noises in your own freeping front yard but instead call the police? What a gigantic crock of 🐂💩

Rittenhouse should never have been anywhere near Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. He should never have agreed to help protect property.
***The kid is a hero. The adults who were at fault for being stupid were the owners of that car lot. With all those guys who were guarding that lot, he shoulda had them drive the cars off the lot to some neighborhood where there was no rioting. A lot less temptation when there’s no cars in the lot.

The adults in Rittenhouse’s life failed him by failing to keep him at home.
***I think the adults in this writer’s life failed him by not helping him generate a skill of detecting bull feces.

If Tony ever finds himself and his neighborhood under overwhelming lethal assault by government sanctioned gangs of criminals released by Soros-bought prosecutors ... I'll be busy trimming my toenails.

“That’s a ridiculous premise, but a prosecutor’s main objective is to win.”

Silly me. I thought Prosecutors were supposed to see that Justice is done.

Yep!
All he should have done was give up all his unalienable rights as a citizen of the former Republic...

What a load (items 5 & 6) of BS...

Who were Rittenhouse’s original lawyers? Lin Wood and who else?

But there is a big difference between protecting your dwelling from people intent on taking your life and protecting someone’s car inventory.

The lawyer is basically saying, "It takes a village," but the village is best served if everyone focuses on protecting their own. The cumulative effect of 100 people protecting their own lot is that the whole block is protected.

The trade-off is the idea that the 100 can gather at the entrances to the village and stop the incursion in force.
