The verdict was just and proper. Rather, instead, the real indictment is of the radical-left progressive authorities who allowed their cities to fall into bedlam, leaving it to private citizens to defend themselves, their property, and a civilized society. The verdict should focus the spotlight on these monstrous officials and their sudden embrace with religious zeal of a malicious ideology of strident racialism while shredding the fundamental decency of our founding principles. Along with the surprisingly strong showing by congressional Republicans in November 2020 and the Virginia results earlier this month, this verdict is another step away from the brink.
For Kyle, he went through hell. He shot 3 people, two died. All were agents of carnage and all attacked him. The only difference was that, unlike David Dorn in St. Louis, he had the means to protect himself. As MSNBC anchors ridiculed his emotional breakdown on the stand, evidence increasingly showed the malign intent of Rittenhouse’s attackers, and all the while the proceedings were coupled with flagrant prosecutorial misconduct. Justice only left one verdict, the one after four days of deliberations.
I must admit with great reluctance that we needed someone to “walk through hell” for the “world to be much better for this”, that “one man sore and covered with scars”, to break this cancerous fever. Too bad the duty fell on the shoulders of a 17-year-old.
The song, Impossible Dream, is more poignant now than ever. Please listen below to Josh Groban’s rendition.
