He has no license. He has no training. He thinks he’s going to scrub graffiti off with his AR-15?”</p> <figure id="M-ROS-B2" class="a8d"></figure> <p>He continued, “I mean, the stupidity of this is like — what could possibly go wrong? Well, a lot went wrong.”</p> <p>Toobin added, “The good news for Kyle Rittenhouse is that he’s not on trial for being an idiot. He’s on trial for homicide, and in that respect, I mostly agree with Joey that this is a tough case for the prosecution because it does seem like he has a plausible case of self-defense. If it were illegal to be an idiot, the jails would be even more crowded than they are now. Homicide’s a different matter, and, you know, he may have a defense here.”</p> <p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/pamkeyNEN" rel="nofollow noopener"
