When my relative was murdered by their spouse. The judge said that the murder was premeditated. Even tho the culprit grabbed their guns moments before the final shots. The judges stated that premeditation does not need to occur in days or hours. It can occur in seconds too. Here in Omaha. A white bar owner (that I knew some) killed a black protestor outside his restaurant after a brief altercation. The bar owner obviously induced the confrontation by approaching the men over them assaulting his father. Whom was standing outside the bar heckling protestors under the guise of defending a rented property. The bar owner was initially released but then charged after a grand jury found the prosecutor to be lacking in his discovery of evidence. You see, the bar owner had Facebooked moments before the incident, "I am going to need to go defend my bar and pull fire duty" (something close to this effect). The judge's words stuck in my ears. This bar owner obviously premeditated murder by giving himself a reason to shoot somebody over property that was not his. Kyle Rittenhouse did exactly the same in both instances. Kyle is obviously going to go free because he was in self-defense. However, he perpetrated self-defense. By our nation's laws, he will go free but don't ever tell me he is a hero (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, loyalty). These are marks of a hero because they require more courage than pulling a trigger. You will go free Kyle. But you will never be free. You will forever be enslaved by the ungodly actions you premediated on that night and I shall pray for you.
