Watching some of the mainstream media coverage, primarily Fox News, of the Kyle Rittenhouse case, I’ve been a little perplexed.
Grant it, I have not been glued to the screen and certainly could have missed it, but I have not once actually seen the video of that summer night in 2020 showing Rittenhouse shooting three people, two fatally, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Instead, you get an endless stream of emotional back-and-forth. You get commentators on the left calling Rittenhouse a white supremacist (despite everyone involved being white) and a murderer while the commentators on the right call him a praiseworthy hero.
If you watch the video, it should be a closed case of self-defense. A case shouldn’t have been brought. No need to make Rittenhouse a hero or a villain. It simply was self-defense.
