It may be what some folks want to believe happened, but it is absolutely not the facts.
The jury decided that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. That finding is not inconsistent with anything I said.
The whole problem of firing off guns in a crowd is that everyone involved might be acting in self-defense, and yet still end up killing eachother.
Life isn't a video game, or an action movie. You can't always tell who the 'bad guy' is, or even if there is one.
And if you don't ever believe that confronting an active shooter is ever the correct thing to do, why do you think having a gun will help you? Take your own advice and run away, you don't need a gun to do that.
The prosecution couldn't bring to the stand the people he killed -- because they were dead.
I do not believe that the people who attacked Rittenhouse believed that he was an active shooter they needed to stop, not for a moment do I believe that, nor did the jury, nor did anyone else that has a rational mind
Active shooters do not run toward police with their hands up
In the fog of war of an active shooting, nobody has any idea of who is the threat, and who is responding to the threat, and nobody has time to sit around and wait for 8 months for a jury to determine whether the shooting was justified or not.
