This probably is applicable to 95 percent of Biden voters; at least the ones who were alive when they voted…
* I didn’t know that Kyle put out a dumpster fire that was being rolled down to a gas station to blow up, with people all around.
* I didn’t know that the Police were told to stand down as businesses were destroyed.
* I didn’t know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois.
* I didn’t know that Joseph Rosenbaum knocked him down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head.
* I didn’t know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard.
* I didn’t know Gaige Grosskreutz, a felon in possession of firearm, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand.
* I also didn’t know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed).
* I didn’t know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn’t supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do.
* I also didn’t realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted child rapist and that Huber was a 2 time convicted woman beater. I didn’t know that Grosskreutz was a convicted Burglar with an assault on his record also.
IF THE MEDIA DID THEIR JOB… we would ALL have known this!
This entire case has been emotional from the beginning - just look at this board.
All that aside - it doesn't excuse vigilantism which is what this boiled down to. Who owned the gun he used?
For the record - I don't think he showed up to create problems and I believe he acted in self defense. But let's not think this kid is some badass or American Hero. He acted in self defense and got lucky. How many people act in self defense everyday and still lose? He made a stupid decision to be a vigilante. And using the criminal history of the dead to justify it as well is just ridiculous. By that logic, you'll justify the 9/11 attacks if you learned that some American criminals were killed on the plain or in the towers. The adage, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," is very fitting here.
Fortunately, Kyle is going to make so much damn money from suing the various media outlets that he'll never have to work a day in his life.
