I am upset. Having seen some of the footage before the trial, read some of the media coverage, and conversed with people who had consumed more, I was not prepared for how corrupt of a trial this would be. Kyle Rittenhouse acted in accordance with the legal expectations and definitions of Self Defense.
I realize Kyle was under extreme pressure there but it didn't exactly help that he (being so young and inexperienced and dare I say borderline dimwitted) couldn't rationalize his position to this slimey prosecutor better. I mean he barely withstood the onslaught of sophistry and could have used some of your reasoning skills and language. :)
This is one of the skills I honed over my entire life. Sadly, eighteen years is just insufficient to garner the skills of rhetoric required to argue well.
How dare you write something so coherent and apply logic thoughtfully.
Well said.
