Accounts following World War II overflow with reports of young, under-aged boys lying about their age so they could join the war effort to kick German or Japanese butt. This, of course, was a time long before we downgraded to a current crop of young people scared by their own shadows or of government warnings of shadows that don't exist -- the all-too compliant generation that fights only to be called self-tailored genders or to fuss over social media foolishness.
George Washington was allegedly out surveying land at age 12 or 13, probably carrying some sort of weapon just in case trouble erupted.
Rittenhouse, a teenager armed with a rifle, needed to save his own life, but that did not satisfy the prosecution in the courtroom, frequently bitch-slapped by the judge.. The Second Amendment always seems to encounter trouble when it's needed most.
As in so many other cities, crowds of "demonstrators," rose up, common street trash inspired by what appears to have been Jacob Blake's bad decision, BLM operatives and Antifa thugs, ready and willing to set fires and cause a wealth of damage to make some nebulous social justice point. Even to this day, the mobs fail to know or care that we don't have "social justice" in the USA. That's for leftist radicals to enjoy in other countries.
This trial, an argument over self-defense for the most part, never should have hit the courtroom. But it did, and much of what we have observed proves that (1) social media and mainstream corporate media have been way off the mark in getting facts straight, as usual, and (2) this kid, now 18, despite his breakdown on the stand, has it all together and responds to questions better than most subjected to interrogation by other prosecutors of similarly inferior quality.
Judge Schroeder, enraged that the state's prosecution introduced material previously declared taboo by mutual agreement, considered dismissing the case with prejudice, and if this happened Rittenhouse could not have been tried again. Though the case is destined now to be tried by jury, the prosecutor's side now looks and will in the future appear incompetent. Of course, the state had the lying media and fortified social network on its side, making up all manner of things about Rittenhouse and the incident. Nor were the minds of promised agenda satisfied when the prosecution's own witnesses strengthened Kyle's case. That isn't supposed to happen if you are on the correct side, which certainly few on the cackling social network were.
Why have so many in the U.S. risen up to support Rittenhouse? There appears to be just a little frontier justice involved here, a "wild West" scene complete with bodies -- perhaps a reminder that deleting law enforcement personnel from the streets wasn't such a genius move after all.
How ironic that the country is enthralled by the Rittenhouse trial, while the nation itself is being strangled, stabbed, humiliated and drained of its constitutional energy by radical Biden administration leftists, thugs, incompetents and others steeped in corruption who sympathize with standards set by our most profound of international enemies.
Or maybe too many Americans are busy getting their children and themselves jabbed by needles filled with mysterious things that might as well have originated on Neptune, as both local and national "news" outlets in the U.S. offer no opposing view, just compliant reporting.
Rittenhouse, despite all his possible faults as a young man still evolving, and who obviously would have been better off by leaving the firepower home, became an instant poster boy for the Second Amendment. The radical left is enraged, perhaps all the more because they were horrified to learn that they aren't the only ones controlling the streets, and that they, too, can be taken down just as easily as their street rats who have enjoyed the unencumbered ability to take down innocent citizens, cops and other first responders at their whim without consequences.
Don't misunderstand, but a significant share of America loves Rittenhouse because he legitimately seems kick-ass, an unwilling representative of what the United States used to be and wants to be again, particularly as we all suffer increasingly at the hands of this White House and world leaders who have no business orchestrating our lives under a phony, power-grabbing green flag.
We sure hope Rittenhouse wins this one, as he should. A self-defense victory will drive the left even crazier than they are, and maybe, just maybe, the world will see that a tiny piece of America's once-unbridled greatness and true justice survive to rise another day. Save Kyle and you help save the world.
