About heroes:
I wasn't going to call Kyle Rittenhouse a hero until I learned that he went to put out fires, protect property and help the injured. He only took his gun for self-defense, and the facts prove that was a wise decision.
Now about heroes in general. Back in 1836, a bunch of men in Tennessee took it upon themselves to travel to Texas and provide support for a bunch of rebels in what we now call San Antonio. Some may say they were foolhardy, some would say they were looking for trouble, but a lot of people call them Heroes of the Alamo now.
Spin affects how people talk about things, sure. Bias also plays into it. But the facts are all on Kyle's side, with only vitriol and malice on the prosecutor's side, and underlying the MSM's account of these events.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
