OK so generally we don't usually do a base share more than once per day, but the Heir's fears that the Rittenhouse case may have turned the self-defense argument into a blank check of a get-out-of-free-jail-card had just dodged a bullet.  He went into his YouTube and was stunned at a Glenn Kirshner video informing him that the three defendants in the Ahmad Arbury case were found guilty earlier today.  They tried to use the self-defense argument similarly to Rittenhouse, but while Rittenhouse was acquitted, the guys in the Arbury case were convicted.  Though the Heir disapproves of politicizing any court trial whether it's Rittenhouse or Arbury, or eventually Waukensha, he does see the Arbury convictions as having taken 90% of the wind out of the Trumpist balloon that politicized Rittenhouse.  That's not to say that the Trumpists won't keep parading Rittenhouse, but the Arbury case casts doubt the Heir thinks on the Rittenhouse concept of self-defense at least.  He's pretty sure that the smart ones at least (and believe it or not, they're out there) will find some way to spin how the Arbury case doesn't reflect on the Rittenhouse case.  They may find a way of doing that without it looking like a kabuki dance, but the Heir's already decided that the concept of self-defense is getting closer back to its original common sense context within applicable law.  He's relieved that some kind of consciousness still matters in our culture after the inherently immoral 2010s.  He's not going to gloat on the Rittenhousers with the Arbury case, as long as he knows that there's a bigger picture to keep in one's mind...

"...the picture of principle.  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!"
