People wonder how Kyle Rittenhouse was radicalized. First, he probably didn't think of himself as a radical. Doesn't seem to be boogaloo or 3%-er, just a kid who loves cops and guns. Nothing more American than that, right?....

Everything in his life system said this was Very Good. Family, online groups, friends. He was embraced by the Kenosha PD and told how much his presence with an AR-15 was appreciated (videos available online). His heroes welcomed his presence, celebrated him.

And now he's killed two people, maimed a third, traumatized others, and he & his family will be tied up with the CJS for the rest of his/their lives. Kyle Rittenhouse is not Dylann Roof or James Holmes. He's an all-American boy.

And America is sick.
