She is a victim, in that those on the left are reaming her over her looks, and, from those that believe she shouldn't have a voice in the matter of her son.

I don't know. She had a son who was apparently doing well - was in some kind of police volunteer thing, doing well in school, in ROTC (I believe) and she's a single mom with other children and worked late the day Kyle left to go mix it up in Kenosha. She had every reason to believe he was on a good path for success.
He got too big for his britches. He decided to take on the role of a vigilante and entered a protesting mob in the late evening with an exposed AR15, and now this horror happened.
I don't think she could have predicted this. And he was trying to be the macho hero. Out of youthful ignorance and misplaced bravado.

And here we are.
He didn't "get too big for his britches." He did what an actual man did - protected his friend's business from getting looted by people you support, defend, and vote with.
We need far more Kyle Rittenhouses in this country and less whining liberals who don't know what it is to be a man anymore.

No. He was there initially to help out by most accounts, and then somehow decided to join the riot instead, with a huge gun visible to all. And that caused this mess.
We need fewer like him.
It appears to me that all of this, or at least MOST of this, was a horrible misunderstanding and these two men would be alive now, and the third who survived would not have been seriously injured had Kyle stayed home.

He didn't "join" the riot. He got a call to go to a spot where there were fires being lit by these rioters. He went there,..got separated with his friend and found himself trying to get back. All the while the mob closing in around him. Then one Caveman decided he'd target Kyle as one of 'them' and make chase.

I don't see where you're disagreeing with me.
Early in the evening he had no gun, and then he had one and joined the fray later. To shoot people. And then he shot people who weren't lighting fires.
I do get, that in his mind he was trying to be a "hero". In his youthful ignorance, this turned out horribly for all.

I don't know if I am disagreeing either. Yeah, the gun was at his step-dad's house, probably because he wasn't allowed to keep it in his own home yet.
He wasn't alone, he didn't just show up guns a blazing. He was part of a group of armed people there to defend the places. It wasn't to go shoot people indiscrimitaly.
If he wasn't attacked, he probably would never have fired a round. This isn't like the incident where that nut drove his car into the protestors. Now That IS someone going out to kill.
Everyone agrees it was a dangerous place. If you gonna be there trying to help out, better to have one and not need it, than need it and not have it, so the saying goes.
