He will still probably be unemployable for the rest of his life, simply because nobody wants the blowback they'd get from hiring him.
All he did was what any man would be expected to do in any sane society. Now any man would be crazy to follow his example.
Disagree, I think he has an easy in at several vetbro or 2A companies. The biggest problem for him will be social, aka people harassing him for "getting opportunities for killing a black guy" a la Kyle Rittenhouse who didn't even kill black guys.
Rittenhouse's family got really fucked over as well from Kyle's ordeal.
Last I heard, Kyle was estranged from his mother & sisters, he wrote about their lower-class struggles in his book like his mother's bfs and his sisters flunking out of school.
His mom & sisters had to flee Illinois, change their names, kept losing entry-level jobs when employers find out, live in precarious housing, are essentially white trash, etc.
What? Do they blame him or something?
It's been awhile since I seen an update, but I think most of the fallout came after the Not Guilty verdict.
At least publicly, his mother & two sisters are still very supportive of him but think he's a young guy who got famous quick and made some bad choices after the trial re: who he trusted, attention going to his head, etc.
I hate the concept of "white trash", but his family seems to fit the mould. I never hear anything about his father. His mother apparently has had a series of undesirable bfs and works menial, low-paying jobs. His sisters can't finish school & can't stay employed. They were all getting evicted the last I heard.
The point of contention last I heard was an autobiography Kyle wrote that at the time was a manuscript that revealed some unflattering details about their personal lives.
They apparently reached out to him after reading the draft asking for some parts to be removed. He subsequently cut off contact after that.
His mother and Kyle's more extroverted sister have appeared a few times to talk about it on small YT channels that used to cover Rittenhouse like V-Radio & Johnnie Walker Dread
