The Meaning of Rittenhouse

from The Stephen Mansfield Podcast

In this episode, Stephen reflects on the Kyle Rittenhouse case and what the verdict means for our society. There are some philosophical questions to ponder: do we want a society in which individuals can walk around with AR-15s? Do we want a society in which 17 year-olds can openly carry weapons into violent and contentious situations? While the Rittenhouse verdict followed Wisconsin law, it should cause us to reflect on the type of society we want.
