Firstly, this entire trial was not a trial of law. Everything Rittenhouse did was very clearly in line with the letters of the law that this should not have gone to trial to begin with.
This was a trial of values. This case has shown a fundamental shift in the values of this country as it pertains to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
For those who still believe in the constitution and have good faith in the laws and practices of its citizens, this case showed a fundamental shift in their understanding of the value of life. That laws could exist that could lead to the direct death of another is something that legitimate people of good faith now no longer understand.
We have reached a point where breathing is more important than protecting our communities, businesses, means of providing a livelihood and the physical manifestations of the spiritual forces that built those communities and businesses.
People of good faith legitimately believe that it is better to watch our communities burn than for life to be lost as a consequences of defending them, or ourselves.
On the other end of it, we have those of bad faith. People who do not believe in our laws, and do not believe in our values. This case highlighted those people of bad faith in it's entirety.
"Kyle should suffer, not because of any laws that allowed him to defend himself, but because his presence directly lead to the death of two people. Period."
Further from that, those same people have shown a bias towards wanton destruction and chaos, meant to bury, burn and destroy any vestiges of what this country represented before.
They have outed themselves as allies of demons, and enemies of anyone that would take up the role of the warrior to combat against it.
Make no mistake, this case is a litmus test on where you stand with your values, especially in relation to how this nation was founded.
And further, there is a right answer, and a wrong answer. And further from that, there is an evil answer.
Oh, you mean the convicted felons with violent and child sex rapist records. He took out bad people who should have rightfully still been locked up who were trying to kill him. He did the right thing in trying to help his city.
At what point do I make the assertion that he didnt do the right thing? I was making a description of how this plays out as a values litmus test.
What you value will determine how you view Kyle.
He was an absolute Hero who answered the call of duty to protect a community. He put his life on the line and made himself a target, instead of not being there and letting the buildings and communities be the undefended target.
That is because, from a value standpoint, I understand that property is not just property.
However, there are those of good faith that do not understand that. They believe that life is life, and it is better to be breathing as a coward than to be a hero that caused death.
Further from that, there are those of bad faith that view those who wished to bring chaos and destruction as the heroes - and Kyle was the evil villain who got in there way.
I guess I needed to be clear where I stood at the outset to get others to read that post as intended.

Oh, I thought that was your viewpoint. Sorry, misunderstood
