I might admire the Kenosha Kid's heart and desire to be a good citizen. But he was wrong a couple ways in all that.
He is a kid, 17 isn't even legally old enough to buy that rifle. He intentionally took it next door looking for trouble, alone and sure enough found trouble. He planned to and then did interpose himself into a riot with the intention of being a policing agent.
His actions are not defending anything, he deployed to another State to do what he did. If any of us must act to defend ourselves we will and should, sure. But he didn't act in defense he went looking for trouble.
If I turn a corner and BLM terrorists are rioting and terrorizing I'll do what I must, so should we all. That is defending yourself. What he did is not that.
If we are going to go hunt them down we need to form up and do it with proper delineation and as an instrument Society is wielding, even if it is not official government agencies, even if it is simply a community authorizing use of force. Our governments are broken and corrupt, they might not be able to function and so we might need to act outside of their agency, yes. But we cannot condone kids taking illegal rifles off into war zones, that isn't us defending Society that is chaos.
Our governments are broken, yes, that is why we all expect POTUS to use the insurrection act and deploy Troops in certain areas. Until then defend your communities, absolutely, defend your Family and Home and neighbors, yeah. But do not go hunting alone, if we must disband government and form our own police then so be it, but we can not ignore Law and then claim to be Lawful Patriots. We can not embrace chaos and claim to represent Order. If we are going to invoke the People then that's one thing, we can have a couple terrible days of hunting and then maybe the survivors will reform. I doubt it but they might...
But we cannot pretend the kid was acting properly, he went looking for trouble.
