It’s open season for vigilantism in wake of Rittenhouse verdict
The implications of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict are terrifying. Zeke and Jasper will now dress up to play solider in their cosplay camo outfits, load up their AR-15S, leave their mothers’ basements, and head to your neighborhood to provide “security” for your kids’ schools and playgrounds.
If you approach them and state forcefully that you want them to leave because the risk of accidentally firing one of those weapons could have terrible consequences for your children and the children of others, they can shoot you dead because they feel “threatened.” A jury will let them off because they were “just defending themselves.”
Vigilantism is as deadly as any virus. It thrives on ignorant losers who now have a “cause” to distract themselves from dealing with their own pathetic lives and it’s headed our way.
