The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial: What Will Be the Outcome?

[Been There]

I watched the videos several times and also I watched everyday of the trial. It would have been almost impossible to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. The problem with people not being able to accept the verdict is for one; the main stream media has turned the case into a political narrative and issue. When every news station repeats the same story, people are more apt to go along with it. We seldom think for ourselves anymore since we have become a divisive country. Even the president prematurely called Rittenhouse a white supremacist and by his own admission, he never watched any of the trial or followed the case. He just followed the narrative. What it comes down to now is that Democrats think he is guilty and Republicans think he is innocent. It was never like this in our country. It seems we are now being controlled by the main stream media, which is all part of the grand plan to divide the country. Congratulations, they have succeeded.

When the BoR was adopted it only applied to the federal government, so they had no business from then on deciding otherwise for the states, that eliminates the 2nd applying to the states, then it is a matter of their own Constitutions. Do we go back?

I tried but I just cannot understand what this has to do with the wording and comprehension of the 2cnd Amendment. I will say this though. I feel as if I derailed the OP. I apologize as it was not my intention. I would be willing to discuss the 2cnd Amendment in a new thread?

If you look at the original intentions of our Founding Fathers, the 2nd Amendment is a collective right of states to implement "well regulated militias." That's how it was interpreted since its inception up until 2008 when justices legislating from the bench redefined it as a personal right to self-defense.

And I am sure there is more to come. Unfortunately my thoughts lean towards the phrase "watch your six"
