He and Kyle Rittenhouse will make a killer(wink, wink!) Republican ticket in 20 years. 

There's some ambiguity in the Rittenhouse case to where a jury found him not guilty. There's none in this case. Abbott is the worst of the worst as a human being in all of US politics.
Yeah, it’s a shame because the case blew up and became just another culture war thing.

     Realizing that Rittenhouse was in fact not guilty as charged really surprised me when it happened because it went hard against type for Atlas. Not a surprise that they reverted to their previous views on the topic once some time had passed.

Senile judge and anti-BLM jury that was always going to find him sympathetic.
Small comfort that the murderer looks to be doing nothing in his pathetic life with the second chance he didn't deserve.

     Judge if anything was too pro-prosecution, simply giving the prosecutor a scolding for trying to use Rittenhouse exercising his fundamental right to remain silent against him. Binger deserved to have the book thrown at him for that egregious display of prosecutorial misconduct.
Rittenhouse did nothing legally wrong. He was in fact facing a frenzied, mindless crowd and all the men who died at his hands had it coming.

Looking at the details of the case, it is hardly black and white.

The "Stand Your Ground" law came into play with regard to self-defence.
“Stand your ground” just means that you have no duty to retreat before resorting to force. You still have to reasonably believe that the use of deadly force is immediately necessary to protect yourself from the other party’s use of deadly force against you in order for self defense to apply.

Logically, someone must have held that view. Maybe the Attorney General reviewed the case.

Appreciate the simplified explanation for my retiring brain cells.
