HE went THERE. He CHOSE to drive - scratch that, have his mom drive him - 20 miles TOWARDS a riot. With a gun, no less. He wasn't just walking down the street and was attacked, he sought the situation out. None of this happens if he doesn't think he can play cop.
He's absolutely guilty of the gun charge. The dirtbag judge threw it out, but he was in posession of a gun under age and that's illegal. At the very least, he should have gotten nailed on that.
"Victims" 2 and 3 are clearly on video attempting to assault him, with weapons, no less. One of which is a gun. I think the asshole with a skateboard managed to even hit him. That's self-defense.
The crazy guy? Rosenbaum. No evidence he was trying to kill Rittenhouse and Rittenhouse used deadly force. And a witness confirms he did not appear to be of a life-threatening level:
"Witness: Kenosha victim was belligerent but no threat"
"KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — The first man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse on the streets of Kenosha was acting “belligerently” that night but did not appear to pose a serious threat to anyone, a witness testified Friday at Rittenhouse’s murder trial.
Jason Lackowski, a former Marine who said he took an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to Kenosha last year to help protect property during violent protests against racial injustice, said that Joseph Rosenbaum “asked very bluntly to shoot him” and took a few “false steppings ... to entice someone to do something.”

He's absolutely guilty of this one, especially since it's reckless homicide and not intentional like the other one. He also clearly reckless used the gun and put lives in danger.
