Serving 20 years ago is nothing like "defending a pedophile", but you're otherwise correct that I got mine and have a very mercenary outlook on military service. Way to miss my real point though: I'm trained, not just cos-playing. More than that, I was trained as Military Police, and have worked for years in the security field.
That said, Kyle Rittenhouse himself showed better de-escalation skills than you Blue-MAGAs here. He ran from a crowd that was chasing him down for putting-out their (literal)gas-station-parking-lot-dumpster-fire, until he could run no more and found a pistol in his face.
Right, *I'm the one going places looking to start shit that gets innocent people or the just-ignorant killed.
Next to ANY of you geniuses that keep coming after me here, that's a garbage outlook. The crowd doesn't make you safe; The crowd isn't even on your side the moment your survival becomes even mildly inconvenient to their desire act without personal accoutability. Any of you are safer next to me, or Kyle, than with eachother, and that's a fact. Hell, most of you centrists are so bad at this as to be safer with cops than eachother, and I am very much in the ACAB-stance when I say that.
Oh shit, I missed your PS on first read. You genuinely think I won't leave my gun locked-up to go have lunch with my kids, or would let a cordon of cops that haven't made-entry in half-an-hour stop me in an active shooter situation? I would make it safer for them to go in than stay in front of me by that point, assuming they were competent enough to keep me from just sneaking past them.
