Travis McMichael is a good man. Quite frankly, he is a much better man than me. Like Kyle Rittenhouse, he set out with the best of intentions. Like Jake Gardner, prosecutors originally recognized Travis's actions for what they were and decided to leave him in peace. But then Travis caught the attention of larger powers, desperately grasping at every opportunity to destroy men like Travis, to put down the noble motivations that compelled him on that day last February.
The day he was attacked in the street, Travis saved his own life and perhaps that of his father, but we'll never know how many more he spared. We cannot see who would have been the next victim of Travis's attacker — because thanks to Travis, they won't be.
Travis McMichael is a hero. But I fear next week, under intense pressure from the mob of shiftless monsters outside his courtroom, Travis is going to pay dearly for his heroism. I hope and pray that I'm wrong, and that there is some courage left in my people.
