Folk Hero?

The Ballad of Kyle Rittenhouse  Clifton Hicks

Come all you friends and neighbors a story I will tell Concerning Kyle Rittenhouse and the criminals that he killed, While in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in sorrow and in strife A gang of thugs flew upon him they tried to take his life The raper, Joseph Rosenbaum, was first to strike a blow But Kyle turned and faced the foe, with his rifle laid him low, Then little Tony Huber came skating to the fray But Kyle drew a bead on him and he took his life away The last to try young Rittenhouse was pistol packing Gaige But Kyle blew his arm in two and Gaige did run away, Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent, it's only common sense For he did not do nothing wrong, he fought in self defense.
UPDATE: I sent this to some people and they responded that I thought Kyle R was a hero.  Absolutely not.  Innocent of what he was charged with? Yes.  Stupid? Yes.  Need we say anymore?  Note: Jesse and Frank James were (are) folk hero's.  Murders, robbers, scoundrels, and hero's...  Choose your hero's wisely.
