You're making a straw man argument.
You're gaslighting, ad infinitum, you've made your point and we disagree about the drapes on the titanic. I enjoyed reading your comment about going all (Taken - film) or capture the flag style in a sanctioned rescue mission while the city burns Call of Duty style. And while your argument was compelling it does not fit with the facts of this case as you've presented in your scenario. WE do understand what you'd do and the parameters of why you'd do it, if the personal need arose.
Rittenhouse didn't go "way out of his way" he lived there. Rittenhouse wasn't defending the "family's home or business". He didn't kill "some strangers" he was forced to defend himself from those attacking him using deadly force, two died, one was injured. People should not feel they need to be cowed, shelter in place, or submit to marauding international bands of criminals. You see in this country citizens have the simple right to keep and bare arms, they also have the right to use deadly force when they feel that their life is threatened with loss of life or great bodily injury.
The focus should truly be on the witch hunt and complete lack of leadership exercised by the Antaramian family. The buck stops at the top of this garbage heap. Oddly I doubt the DOJ or FBI will bring their considerable investigative skills to bare.
We see KPD Detective Antaramian in court every day, who is he? A quick search reveals "Lead Detective In Rittenhouse Case Has Family Ties To Five Democrat Politicians Including Mayor Of Kenosha, His Uncle" Was this failure in leadership the responsibility of Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian? He is the chief executive of the city, including the Kenosha police department. What about the mayor’s cousin, Kenosha City Attorney, Ed Antaramian? Lead Detective Antaramian is the detective who opted not to record Kenosha PD’s interview with armed rioter Gaige Grosskreutz, the only witness or person of interest where this was done. Kenosha police also opted not to execute a search warrant they had obtained in order to seize Grosskreutz’s phone. Detective Antaramian tried to link Kyle Rittenhouse to the “Kenosha Guard” group, a loose collection of Kenosha citizens who organized to defend businesses during the riots. A completely fabricated and fictious media ploy.
So much stinks about how this situation developed, who the real power brokers and shape-shifters were behind it, the true facts in light of a runaway international media.
Simple fact of the matter is as I stated in another thread Kyle Rittenhouse was the unpredictable, and uncontrollable "wildcard" a law abiding US citizen exercising his 2nd amendment right to keep and bare arms as allowed by Wisconsin law, and he exercised his right of self defense, to use deadly force as need in defense of his own life. Everything else is arguing about the drapes on the titanic. And that ship has sailed.
He also had every legal right to be there unless you can point me to the law that states he had no right to be there?
Come hell or high water I applaud young men and women willing to rise to the task legally, and damn the torpedos.
