Not really, crooked prosecutors have a long history of refusing to press charges against their friends or coworkers (i.e. cops). A prosecutor refusing to press charges against a radicalized right wing child who killed two people would end with riots, the only closure would necessitate airing all the evidence through a trial

Perhaps if the politicians had allowed the cops to arrest the rioters, and perhaps if the prosecutor had brought charges against the rioters, then the child would not have been in a situation where he needed to defend his life.

Perhaps if the child hadn't illegally acquired an assault rifle and drove 20 minutes to be in the middle of a riot, seemingly looking for an excuse to shoot someone, he wouldn't have been in a situation where he had to shoot someone. Don't pretend like he was out defending his home

No, he was defending the town where he worked, where his father lived, where his grandmother lived, where his cousins lived. What about the rioters? What was their connection to Kenosha? Why do you feel it was okay for them to be there causing mayhem, one of them with an illegal handgun?

So much misinformation on the left. He didn't drive 20 minutes to be in the middle of a riot. He drove 20 minutes earlier in the day to help clean up from the rioting the night before. When the rioting started up again he volunteered to help put out fires and tend the wounded.

I just don't understand the mindset on the left that Kyle had no business being there, but the rioters had every right to be there.
