Kyle Rittenhouse is a divisive figure in the world. And will continue to be.
But what can we learn from the shooting? Tactically, how did he do? Legally, is there anything we could do better?
We need to analyze these incidents as learning tools so that you don’t end up in the same spot.
You may think Kyle did a good job during the shooting, but he is still in jail right now. And probably will be there for a long time. The trial could take years and they probably aren’t going to let him out on bail because of the politics around the shooting.
It looks like they will try him as an adult for murder. He will be sweating his life and freedom for years. He may end up like Jorge Zimmerman and will forever be on the run from people that want to kill him because of the incident. And one of those people may succeed and get him in the end.
How can we avoid this? Was it a good idea for him to kit up and go out?
More importantly, learn from him when you think about kitting up and going out. I’m not saying you should, or should not go. I’m saying that you should know all the risks involved and understand what could happen.
We also go through both shootings and the tactics there. How could have Kyle avoided both shootings all together? Is there something he could have done better once the shooting started?
All questions to answer and know before you decide to go or not go.
