At least one of those of those assholes was diagnosed bipolar. There is a good chance the other thought he was trying to stop an active shooter.
"Rittenhouse’s killing of Rosenbaum may have been lawful. But that was scarcely self-evident to the bystanders who heard gunshots and then saw a killer holding an AR-15. The group of protesters who proceeded to chase and attack Rittenhouse could have reasonably believed that killing the armed teenager was necessary to save others from imminent bodily harm. If Rittenhouse had a right to shoot Huber and Grosskreutz in self-defense, the latter had a similarly legitimate basis for shooting Rittenhouse dead."

This is why this whole analysis is so fucking stupid. You guys refuse to recognize that these scum were not peacefully protesting but rioting. Stop equating these loser fucks with people who were actually peacefully protesting. He was not there with a gun because people were protesting peacefully; he was there because loser criminal fucks like the 2 dead scumbags were there to riot and loot.
Obviously the jury, who heard all the evidence, disagreed. And they didn't even know the 2 guys who are dead were criminal scumbags.
And people wonder why millions of people voted for Don Trump. Because people advancing these arguments ignore pertinent facts and distinctions (usually because of a preconceived narrative).
I heard some dumbshits on the radio worrying that people will be afraid to protest. Do you really think this dumbfuck kid was going to shoot people who were peacefully protesting?
Sorry Nichi and Alum, you guys do a good job making your case. But you are losing the forest through the trees on this one.
This is not what happened in GA, where the 3 hillbillies apparently menaced some guy jogging.down the street.
