Deeply disappointing although expected verdict. Vigilantism given a huge boost today.

The point is that vigilantism is not self defense.

What Kyle Rittenhouse did was self defense. You should take the time and actually watch the trial. You don't have to be so tribal. Your club membership won't be revoked.
Why are you so wrong about this?
If people burn down your house dont you ever try to protect it.

As someone who most likely has little-to-no firearm experience, you should probably plead the fifth and sit this one out.
He was underage when he killed. I'm against kids being tried as adults. Too many children's lives ruined, especially black and brown boys. I wish the people and companies who allowed him to access such an efficient killing machine were liable for the deaths.
You obviously did not watch the trial, Marianne.
Marianne. Please watch the videos and the trial. his crime was showing up. and the real criminals are the disgusting gun laws that allow purchase and carry by untrained and unlicensed civilians.

He was not being tried for vigilantism.

If the people we charge (cops) do not or cannot stop criminals (looters/rioters), then is it really vigilantism for citizens to try to stop them?

Everything about this was self defense, it is sad that lives were lost, but acquitting him was the right call, it should have never been brought to trial.
