Rittenhouse should get the book thrown at him. Don’t bring a weapon to oppose a protest. He used it and killed someone. Now he faces the consequences.

It wasn't a protest, it was a riot, people should bring guns to fight off rioters

Sorry boss, a riot is what happened on January 6th at the Capitol. But I’m guessing you won’t call that a riot since it was a bunch of conservatives.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. We're now at the point of virtual lynch mobs.

2a. Carrying a gun isn’t illegal and not punishable.

You attack someone with a gun, you’re probably going to end up dead. Been that way a long time.

Mind your own business of you want to stay alive. That’s the way it should be.

Rittenhouse killed a white sex offender who attacked him first, and is not someone in any position of authority over the person he killed. He’s got an exponentially better shot.
In one sense, I agree with you. The problem is that the procedural posture of the case and the burden of proof are so very, very different.

The State's only legal burden in the Rittenhouse case is basically to prove that the Defendant intended to point his weapon at someone and to pull the trigger with intent for the bullets to connect. The DA barely has to show up in court to meet that burden. Rittenhouse pointed his weapon center-mass, pulled the trigger and ventilated three people ... all on video.

At that point, the legal burden of proof shifts to the Defendant to PROVE that he was acting in self-defense. (In some states, the State has the burden to DISprove self-defense, but Wisconsin is NOT such a State).

In other words, it will be up to Rittenhouse's attorneys (NOT the State) to CONVINCE the jury of the key element of the case.

I believe he was acting in self-defense, and you probably believe he was acting in self-defense, but there will almost certainly be a few jurors VERY skeptical of that assertion, because they will see him as having voluntarily injected himself into those protests.

No offense intended, but what value do you see in adding a Constitutional scholar to a simple self-defense claim?

Are you really trying to justify his action?

No sane person would say he wasn't justified.

I doubt it, different location and the video obviously helps him.

Why not? If there's a riot in town, make it an aggravated first-degree riot by injecting firearms into the mix!

LOL like the rioters weren't bringing guns too. That last a-hole he shot had a gun illegally.
