Don’t Give Me Any More Of That “Kyle Should Never Have Been There Crap!”

Via Bill Quick, this from the loathsome David French.
1. The acquittal was proper–Rittenhouse presented evidence that he was chased and attacked at every turn.
2. He's no hero. He never should have been there. The effort on the right to turn him into a model of citizen action is dangerous: https://t.co/mUz8aJHp75

In the battle of King’s Mountain, the British forces were essentially all loyalist fighters with the exception of the commander. This was to be General Cornwallis’ going-forward strategy for winning the campaign in the South.
Upon learning of the coming destruction, the “over-mountain men” left their homes in the area and also neighboring states to travel overnight, many nights, on horseback, to gather and fight the loyalists.
At the time of the battle, crops were being harvested and families couldn’t send the fathers. Men had to be in the fields in order to prepare for the coming winter. They did the only thing they could do, and entire families gathered in streets and sang hymns to their young fighters as they sent their sons riding off to war.
They won a decisive victory, destroying Cornwallis’ strategic plan. What most people do not know about the “over-mountain men” is that the vast majority of them were under the age of 18. You too can learn this if you study history, or perhaps come to the King’s Mountain military park and tour it, read the placards, and study the area.
But rather than hold older men accountable for their actions, like politicians and police, pundits are satisfied with turning on Kyle for being young and deciding to make a stand.
Kyle Rittenhouse did what French was too foppish and cowardly to do.
Enough said. I don’t want to hear any more about that.

Kyle’s address was in the indictment – turns out he lived about 400 yards away from the state line. Kenosha is right across the state line, so it’s not a stretch to think that the bad guys could have come to his neck of the woods, so to speak. The farther away you can stop an aggressor force, the better. His actions probably saved more lives than he could know, because that mob was bent on arson and murder, the same as the rest of those mobs that summer. And the police were following the Public Duty Doctrine – it’s up to individuals to protect their own lives and property – even though killing to defend property is against the law in Wisconsin – a state that would make such a law is beneath contempt, without first negating the Public Duty Doctrine. In any case, the police stood by and watched as their town burned. What sort of retardation of moral character *that* required is beyond me. And that should be a warning to all.
A friend who lives near Kenosha, and who was there in the past few days, told me that if the rioters decided to go into the subdivisions, that the rifles usually being used on deer would be used on rioters, so it appears that lessons have been learned.

Yes, if I recall correctly (though I could be wrong), all the lawlessness and rioting in Kenosha pretty much stopped after this incident, didn’t it? Hmmm

I predicted that Kyle would be convicted. Tastiest crow I’ve ever had to eat!

I find people like French to be completely loathsome. But, he’s a traitorous weasel, like his buddies at NRO, so, I guess he runs with the crowd he most identifies with.
There are people on the left that are far more honest about what happened to Kyle than the limp wristed ink stained wretches of the hors d’oeuvre and drawing room soiree crowd.

David French is correct…Kyle Rittenhouse and the others should not have been there, rather, should have had to been there except for the tacit approval of the riots and destruction of property by the Wisconsin and Kenosha governments and police.
Throw the bums out.

He put out a dumpster fire and made good commies, he is a hero and an inspiration.
About the gun, Illinois is not a 2A friendly state and a friend bought it for KR and kept it at his place.
David French? WTH is that some Clinton rump swab working for the CPUSA?
Your headspace is too valuable for that enemy agitprop.

David French has a law degree from Harvard. He adopted a child from Ethiopia. What more does a man have to do to prove is is one of the Good Whites?
C’mon man, cut him some slack!

The idiot Governor failed to call out the National Guard to protect lives and property in Kenosha, so the militia called themselves out.
Including, and especially Private Kyle Rittenhouse. See below.
10 U.S. Code § 246
(a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are—
(1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
