    He's talking about Kyle Rittenhouse. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/19/the-lionization-of-kyle-rittenhouse-by-the-right-523054 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/19/the-lionization-of-... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/21/kyle-rittenhouse-turning-point-usa-standing-ovation https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/21/kyle-rittenh...

    Here's one example https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/21/kyle-rittenhouse-turning-point-usa-standing-ovation https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/dec/21/kyle-rittenh... Now I don't think he was guilty, but the fact the media and population put him on a stage with confetti and a cheering crowd shows the state of society when the guys only public action was shooting some people in self defense. A healthy society admits that sometimes people do die in ways that are unpreventable or not at fault without celebrating when it happens or what we see where people are itching to get in these situations so they can kill legally and be a hero.

      "The media and population" didn't put him on a stage or celebrate him. A small, extreme subset of the Republican Party did. Only 32% of Americans thought he should be found not guilty[1], and only a fraction of that group would want to celebrate him. 1. https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2021/11/18/kyle-rittenhouse-perception-guilt-poll https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...

        The majority of people only got their opinions from twitter and late night talk shows so their thoughts are really only a reflection on whatever the media was broadcasting. If you look at all the recordings it’s very clearly within the law. That doesn’t make him a hero and he shouldn’t be a public figure or celebrated. But it’s also pretty telling that the majority of the population has a gut reaction that’s illogical if you view the recordings.

        The majority of people don't read Twitter or watch late-night shows, and there are no late-night shows that celebrated Rittenhouse.
