We agree on probably everything we're talking about except what do do in a conflict.
Burning, looting and rioting are not acceptable, and sure, if I have a choice of course those things aren't happening.
The point to saying it is that it did happen, and the reason Rittenhouse was in danger was the fact the authorities let it get out of control. That's something we can address so there isn't a next time, don't you think? If the police threw their hands up and let that happen in my neighborhood, I'd do everything I could to prevent them from doing it again.
I'm all about personal accountability. I don't support or forgive violence and destruction.
I do empathize with some of the people who have been driven to it and think we should do better as a society, but that isn't the same thing. Everyone is responsible for every crime they commit, full stop. I don't think saying that means I can't also think there are societal issues we have to address.
