While obviously and unarguably the Kyle Rittenhouse case was ultimately resolved correctly and should never have been brought at all (and with any justice Kyle will sue the living daylights out of everyone involved in persecuting and lying about him), the one thing I am completely confused by is this bizarre concept of so-called "provocation." What the flying fuck is that?
I never heard of this bizarre idea that you can't defend yourself from someone who is trying to kill or do seriously bodily harm to you if you supposedly "provoked" them, whatever thats supposed to mean.
If someone is trying to kill you, they are trying to kill you. Period. Whatever happened prior to that should have no bearing on anything. This strange "provocation" concept means someone has a right to attack or kill someone if they were "offended" for some reason and the other party can't defend themselves in response? That doesn't even make sense.
There needs to be statutory laws passed saying that this bizarre "provocation" concept is irrelevant in self-defense. You still have a right to protect yourself. Period.
