I was listening to Smerconish on CNN this morning and a legal expert was saying that Rittenhouse used excessive force on Huber since he only attacked with a skateboard. I think you can do serious damage with a skateboard. Huber initially hit Rittenhouse in the head and that caused Rittenhouse to fall. Huber attacked Rittenhouse again with the skateboard when he was fatally shot. I even argue that a punch can kill when the person falls and hits their head on the pavement. The article below details how a man's spleen was damaged by a skateboard attack and he died a few days later.
I think a lot of people, yourself included, don’t know what you’re dealing with here. These people are evil.
They don’t care about arguing right and wrong. They just care about power. They argue the opposite when someone on their team is accused of the exact same thing. Evil.

So was Kyle suppose to magically resurrect a skateboard from his arse so the 2 could duel American gladiators style?
Don’t look for legal guidance from the communist Democrat party/media at ABCNNBCBS. They don’t care about reality. Just move the ball forward in the name of communism.
It's moot anyway. A person can resort to lethal force with a firearm against an unarmed attacker if they feel it's necessary. Hundreds of people are murdered every year from impacts from hands and feet. An unarmed person can very easily be a lethal threat.
Anyone who disagrees that a skateboard can be used as a deadly weapon is either a liar or has a fundamental lack of understanding of what a skateboard is comprised of. Ask them if them would want a one on one fight against someone with a skateboard. Not a chance they honestly would.
And yeah, simply a head hitting a pavement can do serious damage/kill. I know someone that was sucker punched and spent a long time recovering in hospital from the impact of hitting the ground.
Eric Clanton got away with 3 years probation for smashing a bike lock into a Trump supporter's head. Seems like violence is perfectly acceptable when you're a democrat.

Of course, it can be a deadly weapon, if it is used as one. I think that the link you provided us shows that. And if you are attacked with deadly force, you can respond with deadly force and the law doesn't say you have to use the same type of weapon that you are attacked with.
So, if your attacker uses an edged weapon, or an impact weapon of some type, (a piece of rebar, a pipe, a heavy wrench, or a skateboard) and you have a gun, you are allowed to use the gun to defend yourself. I certainly would.
Mr. Rittenhouse had deadly weapons employed against him--the skateboard in the one case and the pistol in the other, so he was well within his rights to use the rifle that he had to defend himself.
