This is a clear example of self defense against known criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughtful people should wonder who GSVT is trying to protect \u2014 pedophiles, domestic abusers, or repeat offenders who illegally possess firearms? Rittenhouse\u2019s attackers were all of the above, and GSVT takes the side of such criminal entities in their commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Were the activities on that day a peaceful march like GSVT would have you believe? No, these law breakers were involved in a violent riot complete with looting and vandalism. The Rittenhouse verdict sends the right message, upholding the rule of law. Every citizen has the right to defend himself and herself.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of shooting defenseless victims, have you heard what Alec Baldwin has been up to recently?
