The shooter who killed two people last night in Kenosha has been identified as Kyle Rittenhouse. He has yet to be arrested.

He’s part of a Wisconsin militia group and he is only 17.

How can literal children walk around with guns, unchecked, and murder people in the streets?
When are we going to talk seriously about how young white boys are being radicalized early and thoroughly to the point of becoming actual terrorists and murderers?

When are we going to take thorough responsibility for this?
In a Country that claims to care about the lives and safety of its children, why are we never concerned about what radicalization does to our young generations to the point where they become gun-wielding murderers?
People will say he defended himself.

Let me pull your facts straight: This kid and the armed group he was with came in from outside of Kenosha with guns to intimidate protesters. He shot 4 (!) people and killed 2.
Think about the intention of his trip.
For one second, let go of political affiliation and read this and tell me if this is or should be normal:

A 17 year old boy with an assault rifle went to another town with other people carrying guns and shoots at protesters, murdering 2 of them.

This is not normal.
I don’t care if you’re a republican or a Democrat. This can’t be normal. You can’t look at this situation and believe that there are justified reasons for why this happened. Because it shouldn’t. And it doesn’t elsewhere. Even in places with political unrest.

It’s not normal.
