But he is certainly right that the excerpted mini-narrative misrepresents the facts, isn't he?

- It was *always* highly debatable whether his possession was illegal and ultimately the possession charge was dismissed.
- The police didn't "deputize" the armed citizens. They might just have tolerated them because what they were doing was legal.
- It is really gross to say Rittenhouse just fired indiscriminately at citizens on the street. He manifestly fired only at people who attacked him after trying and failing to flee and a jury ultimately found his self-defense case good enough to acquit him of all charges.
- This also makes play with the picture of Rittenhouse as a carpetbagger who traveled, perhaps armed, from another state, when in fact he had ties to Kenosha and didn't even make the short trip to his job then best friend's house for the purpose of attending the protests.

I don't think much of post-acquittal Kyle's choices, but I don't begrudge him resentment at the wrong done to him by sources still wallowing in the fact-free myths of the case like these.

This has nothing to do with any of that. This is raising money for his defense against a civil suit.

Anyway, He seems to be following the well worn path followed by OJ Simpson. Found "not guilty" at trial, and getting justice served in civil court.

My name is Kyle Rittenhouse. You might remember me as the kid who defended himself with a firearm during the 2020 riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Join me in my journey to learn everything I can about new and vintage firearms and help to defend the Second Amendment.

“Shall not be infringed.”

I wonder how Rittenhouse is going to claim any credibility during these "don't look for trouble" segments of his YouTube?

He will point to his acquittal and his supporters

As proof that the right thing to do is whatever you want packing as much heat as you can and always,always, Fire first, Fire often and shoot to kill.

It’s patriotic!

I think Trumpy fathers and mother across America rooted for Rittenhouse during his trial at the sane time they told their teenaged children to never, never do anything so stupid and irresponsible

Florida father and son shoot at innocent woman they thought tried to break in home, sheriff says
Florida father and son shoot at innocent woman they thought tried to break in home, sheriff says

A Florida father and his 15-year-old son were arrested on attempted murder charges for allegedly shooting at an innocent woman after they received a mixed-up package at their door and suspected a burglar was breaking in, officials said.

Gino Colonacosta, 73, and his son opened fire Saturday morning after they got a Ring doorbell notification about someone at the front door of their Winter Haven apartment around 7 a.m., Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.

That person was a neighbor who received a medicine delivery for the Coloncostas at his home, and being “a good Samaritan” he took the medicine and hung it on the Coloncosta’s front door, Judd said.

But after receiving an alert from their Ring doorbell camera, the father and son exited their home armed with .45 caliber firearms searching for a person they suspected to be a burglar, according to the sheriff’s office.

Nearly 100 yards away, they found a woman sitting in a dark-colored vehicle with dark windows and the engine running, looking at her phone, and targeted her, Judd said.

“When she looks up and she sees Gino standing at the back of the vehicle with a gun pointed at her, screaming for her to get out of the car, she thinks, ‘He’s about to carjack me, he’s about to rob me,'” Judd said.

The woman threw her car into reverse in an attempt to back out of the way and crashed into a car behind her in the frantic escape.

The teenage son heard the commotion and neared the car and thought “our victim is trying to back into him” and he opened fire, Judd said.

Both Colonacosta and his son started shooting into the car as the woman sped away.

They shot a total of seven times. The woman was not hit, and alerted the sheriff’s office.

The investigation found that one of the bullets went through a baby’s car seat and lodged in the driver’s seat.

“Our victim was that close to death, and certainly, had there been a baby in the car seat, the baby would have been killed,” Judd said.

He said the incident ranks among “the craziest stuff that I have seen in a while.”

“Here you’ve got these two guys who are way out of line. Way out of control. They don’t understand the Florida law,” he said.

He noted that Florida has a “stand your ground law,” which allows people to use or threaten force to protect their homes if they feel someone is threatening them or is trying to make forcible entry, but “that doesn’t mean you can go search people out and shoot them.”

“And news flash, even if the first guy would’ve been the burglary suspect, if he was, they shot the wrong person," Judd said.

Judd said neither Colonacosta nor his son had criminal records until Saturday morning, adding: “Our goal is for them to go to prison.

“You don’t shoot at people. You don’t leave the security of your home and go out and chase people down,” Judd said in a sharp rebuke.

Colonacosta was arrested on charges of attempted felony murder with a weapon, improper exhibit of a firearm, negligence, discharging a firearm in public, parent guardian allowing unlawful possession, conspiracy and contributing to delinquency, according to booking records. He was being held on no bond.

His son was arrested on a charge of attempted felony murder and other counts.

It was not immediately clear whether Colonacosta or his son have lawyers.

I feel there's a third "dark" missing from that account.
