where people might assume you're holding Rittenhouse up as some kind of hero. I mean, we know that totally doesn't happen here in this forum whatsoever, but I'm just saying.

He is a hero. He's someone who used his rights to defend himself against thugs, white people as we all know, and suffered embarrassment and slander from the left and the MSM.
Would you pick George Floyd as a hero above KR?

Nothing about that means I was "against this guy". I'm a realist. You get what you sow.
I just ordered well over a $1k worth of Starlight gun cases for 'some' of my guns (for just over $200 on a great close-out)...
You have NO IDEA where I stand politically. I AM A REALIST as I stated before. No need for your attack. Stating facts isn't taking sides.

Does the notion of Private Property mean anything to you, at all? How about your neighbor; while his place is looted and burned, you feel you're safe??? My dad was a WWII vet who flew 31 combat missions, my son is now the fourth generation to live on our farm, and yes it's sacred to me. Why isn't your place sacred to you? Maybe you're just a "house jumper" where ultimately it means nothing to you..

to a private business in another state, and assigning "sacred" status to both? Why weren't you in Kenosha then, patrolling the streets? Are you a member of a local militia? What's your range that you guys travel to protect strangers' private property? Do you do background checks on the strangers to make sure they don't have any disagreeable felonies before you protect their property?

...property, and people, what makes you think you are immune? But again, these questions are attached to one's philosophy and view of life. In your case, apparently, private property means nothing to you and therefore shouldn't mean anything to others as well. Culled, that's what you're saying. Did I misread you?

that's a strawman you're proffering. I'm merely saying that a stranger's private property is not something I'd put my own life at risk for. Where do you draw the line? Should a shoplifter be summarily executed over a Three Musketeers? Why not? It's somebody else's private property.

..? What does your home mean to you? Nothing? Something? Midling? Do you tell your family at night, "this place means nothing to me". It's not a complicated question at all. You don't want to admit what is so obvious: you don't live in or on a place that has any deeper meaning to you other than your own example of a candy bar....how sad. And you further assume everyone else is a shallow as you are...

MY personal property carries a far different value than a stranger's private property. Why is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp? Try breaking into my house, and see what happens. Your puffery and machismo seems to indicate that if you heard about a house getting broken into on the other side of town, you'd arm yourself and head over there, to protect somebody or something you have no former relationship or acquaintance with. No, you wouldn't? Then what in the blue hell are you talking about?

It doesn't help your case by saying your private property is valuable while your neighbor's burns; can you grasp that? You seem to be saying the value of private property is only predicated on the notion that it's yours, but after that, no one else's has any value. Can you get that? It's like you're saying "I don't care if anyone else is murdered, as long as I'm not murdered". Those same thugs that caused 50 million dollars worth of damage to property that isn't yours; you okay with that? I'm saying that legally and philosophically ALL/BOTH of our private property is valuable...

"My property matters more to me than a stranger's property" does not equal "A stranger's property has no value". I didn't say, or even imply that. One more time, and if it doesn't register on this attempt, then we can be done with this conversation: I WILL NOT RISK MY LIFE FOR THE PERSONAL PROPERTY OF SOMEBODY I'VE NEVER MET.
You will? Cool, have at it. My next door neighbor, who I know well and like a lot, carries a different value to me than the stranger I've never met, and I will do more to protect him, his family, and his property if necessary, than I would a complete stranger in a different state.
Have you caught up yet? No? Then we're done here.

..private property is one of the major underpinnings of a free society (and ours in particular). In fact, it was none other than Karl Marx and his fellow travelers who argued for the abolition of the idea. With me so far? It's the difference between "them and us". But for it to work, for both of us, you have to believe in not only as a matter of law but as a virtue. When someone starts to question those foundational ideas, it's a sure tip off to their real beliefs. Good day to you and have fun on your 3000 square foot "lot".

I know without question that Colin Kaepernick isn't a hero, yet both he and Nike are making a buck claiming he is, sooooo...
Anyway, to me it just reads as a consolation prize. As in "Fine, he's not a murderer, but he's not a hero!" Not your call. I think it's reasonable to assume that the broader media won't portray him as such, nor the government. So if there's any institutional push, it will be from right wing orgs (NRA? I dunno). But ultimately, people pick their heroes. Kyle Rittenhouse doesn't make the grade for me, nor would I wish my kids to emulate his decisions. On the other hand, he went INTO the danger, by some accounts to serve and protect, when those who are supposed to serve and protect couldn't/wouldn't. If someone considers that heroic, I understand that.
Also, on this whole "this entire episode will encourage militias and vigilante justice", I guess we'll see, but I doubt it. That kid didn't look happy on that stand. That kid was facing a looooong time in prison if the facts presented just a little less clear. Conversely, I'm glad, given the facts as they were outlined, he was found not guilty and we aren't encouraging rioters and looters that it's their own personal Purge Day and anyone who gets in their way is fair game.

.... this entire episode will encourage militias and vigilante justice, but I'm sure I'm just projecting.
You have it completely wrong... what encourages militias and vigilante justice is when Government fails to do its fundamental function of maintaining law and order. We pay lots of tax dollars to our Government so that unruly, angry mobs aren't allowed to freely riot in our streets destroying our towns, businesses and homes.
When Government (be it at the local, State, or National level) continually fails to provide law and order (in this case a whole summer of it where the Government intentionally did nothing to quell the destructive riots) eventually the citizens are going to take matters into their own hands to defend their towns and property. THAT is what spawns vigilantism and it will only get worse if Government fails to meet its law and order obligations.

Exactly! Good post TP. Are we (peaceful, law abiding CIVILians) suppose to sit quietly in our homes waiting for (our) tax payer funded “authorities” to quell the violence and destruction? What if the “authorities” are unable or unwilling to do so? Are we, civil members of society, to then sit idly by and wait for the doers of violence and destruction to quell themselves? When the “authorities” (and corporate media in this case) determine CIVILians should no longer be allowed to defend life and property of fellow CIVILians, the United States is officially dead. And to suggest the (proper) outcome of this case now signals open season for vigilante justice is the epitome of leftist propaganda.
