I think Rittenhouse was asking for the water so he could flush out the eyes of one of the people defending the gas station and the auto repair facility next door who was sprayed with pepper spray by one of the rioters.
I have a 19 year old grandson cut from the same mold as Kyle Rittenhouse. He is currently out risking life and limb braving harsh terrain and fighting wildfires in 100 degree heat to try and make sure we do not have another Paradise California type of catastrophe. He was working as a resident volunteer firefighter before he received the call to join the wildland firefighting crews. Earlier in the year he was planning on joining National Guard so he could get jump training. I could not be more proud of him.
I have met many of my grandson’s friends; they may not be perfect in every way, but they are patriotic and they want more than anything to help others. They are certainly not racists. They are excellent marksmen and would defend themselves to the best of their abilities if attacked.
I can envision them getting in the middle of nonsense like this with only the best intentions in their hearts. When I read the crap from a few of the people here I can’t help but get angry.
