Thoughts on the Kyle Rittenhouse case, in Kenosha WI...
17-year-old school-kid shoots and kills two
What else is there on a weeknight to do
Cross the border into Wisconsin from Illinois
Then commit an act, separates a man from a boy
Just an 'ordinary citizen,' this kid
Doing what fellow adults did
Taking to the streets to halt the trashing of their town
Targeting rioters screaming, 'Police - Defund!'
Found innocent today, the kid breathes a sigh of relief
'Just defending himself,' per Wisconsin law's briefs
One question I've got, seems no one will ask
~ Why weren't Kyle's parents up to their task?
