Comments by "Peter deWolf" (@StoneShards) on "The "He was Breakin' the Law!" Fallacy of the Rittenhouse Trial" video.

  1. As self-defense becomes, necessarily, more commonplace, the sense of the law will change to accommodate the prevalence of the activity. The upcoming supreme court 2A rulings have the potential to enhance the respectability of self-defense in popular perception. Also, as society becomes more violent, the value of life will be reduced in the eyes of the law, in accordance with society's changing norms. Isn't that how it works?

  2. I saw a headline I haven't gotten around to yet about the judge throwing out the gun charges. Earlier, I heard the doctored video was allowed into evidence. If Kyle is convicted, the uproar will only exacerbate the "split" in the country, anyway, so there's not so much to lose, maybe, in acquitting him. Going forward, the "split" will be erupting all over the place for whatever is the latest reason, anyway, so, might just as well confront it now.
