Why was Al Sharpton there? Did the Arbery family invite him? What value did he provide? I don't get it.

I'm wondering what you are getting at. Do you think his being there influenced the jury? Do you think the verdict was wrong?

If Kyle had not been armed he would be dead. He was asked to come to protect property from arsonists and rioting violent thugs. The prosecution had no case as it was clearly self defense. Essentially, the right to self defense was on trial. The case should never have been brought. Binger wanted to make a name for himself at Kyle's expense, a terrible thing to do to a law abiding 18 year old.

It would not surprise me if the prosecution team was investigated for ethics violations, fifth amendment issues, asking witnesses to lie, not producing the jump kick thug who they had identified, providing a much poorer quality video than they had belatedly to the defense and Binger mishandling the AR-15 with his finger on the trigger. Indeed, the index (trigger) finger is now being referred to as the "Binger finger" by many.

I do not buy that you can take a weapon like that into a riot area and make a self-defense argument unless you are law enforcement and are also doing things with the law and other ethical codes on your side. For instance, I cannot see a law enforcement officer shooting rioters as they come out of a store carrying electronics or whatever.

And I give this kid in Kenosha the benefit of the doubt as to why he carried a weapon like that into a riot area.

Many of the thug rioters and arsonists were armed.

He was carrying a weapon that could inflict deadly wounds very quickly. I do not think anyone that approached him was going to try to kill him when he had that weapon. I just give his youth the benefit of the doubt. An older man or woman who did this should have the book thrown at them given the same facts.

Not even close to being true. Jump kicker, skate board guy and the thug pulling the gun on Kyle were doing him bodily harm and likely attempting to kill him. Kyle acted in self defense. Fortunately he was armed and killed two violent criminals and shot a third. I am quite relieved he killed the heinous serial child molester as he unknowingly did society and future victims a great favor.
