Rittenhouse was acquited, and deservedly so. There is no doubt in my mind that the shootings were in self defense, and he should have been acquited.

With that said, he does not show good judgment in supporting Black Lives Matter, a racist group responsible for a lot of violence. And I reject the idea that a person of color being chased by a mob on video and shooting those assaulting him would have been convicted. If there was video of a POC being chased by a mob, the vast majority of Americans would be sympathetic. I know that I would be.

And he was definitely a LARP that night, just like all the rest claiming to be medics and journalists.

That was my knee-jerk when I first got details on this story, but there isn't much to back that up. Most larpers are all kitted up in their 5.11 pants & plate carriers & Oakley tactical gloves, beards (ok, he probably can't grow one) and punisher baseball caps. This kid wore a t-shirt and disposable gloves and was putting out fires and scrubbing graphite. If he's a larper he sucks at it.

While I'm glad he was acquitted of the absurd charges against him, he lost me saying he supported BLM.

He just turned 18, of course he's gonna be all over the board, he's still developing, one moment he's supporting BLM next he's taking pics with Trump, all I know is that during a certain 5 minutes of his life the kid was a badass that a seal team member would of had trouble bettering.
