Man, how did #KyleRittenhouse see a potential killer’s handgun that quickly in the dark, and make the life-or-death decision to defend himself? Astonishing situational awareness and courage. This kid is a poster hero for the Second Amendment.

It looks like Kyle Rittenhouse was about to get a bullet in the head from a handgun from this angle.

GRAPHIC: A friend of the man who rushed at the #Kenosha teen with a pistol and was shot in the arm has posted an update about his status. Doctors were able to save Gaige Grosskreutz's right arm. The friend says Gaige regrets not being able to kill the teen.
I wouldn't say harden your heart. Compassion and mercy are key traits that make the difference between good people and bad people. BUT, good people must be wary, and gain the wisdom to recognize the tactics of the people who would exploit our compassion and mercy. People who would exploit your better nature to harm you deserve neither compassion or mercy.
This is pretty legit. It's religious sounding practically, "Well, I've got compassion and mercy, that makes me good - but if you're going to exploit my goodness, well, I'll stop being those things."
But it's absolutely true. Through most facets of life too. Whether it's constantly having to cover for someone at work, someone who always needs a loan or to borrow money, all the way up to the manipulative types and so on. Compassion, empathy, understanding, mercy - they get taken advantage of on a daily basis. I just prefer to word it as "Hone your judgement, so you decide - don't be too harsh, but don't get taken advantage of either."
Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. -Matthew 10:16
