Equating the actions of a police officer in any way with the actions of a 17-year-old civilian is an open invitation to vigilantism and citizen posses running wild in the streets.
On Monday, there came a shocking single line in the closing argument for the defense in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. In support of the notion that Rittenhouse's killings were "privileged" under Wisconsin law as self-defense, defense attorney Mark Richards made a point to the jury that seemed curious at the time and looks even worse upon reflection. Key to his presentation was that Rittenhouse only fired his AR-15 four times and, as a corollary, that Rittenhouse wasn't an "active shooter" as the prosecutor claimed, because he only killed two people and he didn't simply open up on the crowds around him. This was a Holy God moment to end all Holy God moments. The singer is finally free. But the rest of us must reckon with the role we played. Casual beer lovers will dig them, too.
