You learn something new every day

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges by a Wisconsin jury tonight.

Thus we learn that one cannot be held accountable in this country for insinuating oneself into a riot, taking an assault rifle to the party, and going hunting for people you disagree with politically.

I very much believe in our system. But I have less and less confidence that the American people (or at least a large percentage of them) have the common sense of a radish. And I continue to wonder why such a large percentage of American adults continue to believe so passionately that it is fitting and proper in the midst of the most advanced society in history not only to play cowboys and Indians with real guns,
but to be safeguarded from accountability when one does so with blatant irresponsibility and clear disregard for what is absolutely guaranteed to happen as a result.

Are the American people capable of governing themselves in 2021? Honestly, I have real doubts.
