Change the law?

I couldn't help but recall what the aggressive moron, Stephen Colbert, said upon the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, which was, "Change the law."

I recently got into a heated discussion about Stand Your Ground laws.

I don't think that Thomas Sowell's A Conflict of Visions has ever been better vindicated in my head.

Forget the fact that Colbert is a fucking idiot for a moment. Even if you believe that Rittenhouse committed murder.

Even if you believe all of the fake news about him "crossing state lines with a gun" and "stalking BLM activists", nobody has pointed to an actual law that they want to change that would fix the problem.

If you still think that Rittenhouse is a murderer, the problem is human error. You don't fix it by fixing the system. Murder is illegal. Stalking people is illegal. Rittenhouse was found not guilty (because he was), because twelve people got jury instructions, evaluated the evidence, and ruled the way that they did.

There's no "fixing the law" nor "fixing the system" that would have landed Rittenhouse in prison.

Leftists want to believe that we can fix people by fixing the law and fixing the system.

No -- no matter what, even if we're dealing with something like the OJ case, wherein the defendant probably was guilty, you don't fix the verdict by changing the law or the system. You simply end up with the old, Marxist bullshit of trying to change people.

In these cases, the law is mostly right. People just don't like the outcomes.
