    Remember: You can take lives to protect property, you cannot damage property to protect lives.

            His stated purpose of being there and taking his gun was to protect property (by taking lives if necessary) from people who were damaging property in order to protect lives (the BLM protests).

              Huh. I don’t really consider Kyle Rittenhouse a valid source of my moral philosophy, so I’ve never heard his manifesto before.

                Considering the lack of consequences for his actions, and that he’s been paraded around since by the party that won the election, it shows the moral philosophy of the country and its legal system.

                  At best it only shows the moral philosophy of the plurality of people who bothered to vote, and your defeatism is tantamount to enabling their attitude.

                  One guy had an idea of the relationship between property and (black) lives and got into a fight which ended in a death and was acquitted for murder.

                  Do you think that because Casey Anthony was acquitted, America thinks killing kids is no biggie? What if a few people signal boosted her to rabble rouse their base?

                  It’s a handful of morons who are now disproportionately at the helm. They don’t speak for you or me.
