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.
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.
Though controversial, this is a correct statement. Rittenhouse’s life was valuable but the city of Kenosha - and the population that elects its leadership - is not.
Kenosha is not the hill for a conservative to die on.
In fact, the entire state of Wisconsin is worth less than two cents.
Granted, an argument can be made against this assertion on moral grounds. From a secular view, the state of Wisconsin under current conditions is not worth bug spit.
I do not want my federal tax dollars being sent there to prop up a third-world utopia; and I certainly would not want my grandson sent there to sort the terrorists from the liberal college students.
