Anyone want to understand the failings of money bail? Look no further: strong evidence of a white shooter motivated by racial bias committing a double murder with an assault rifle. But wealth sets him free.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/11/20/kyle-rittenhouse-accused-kenosha-shooter-released-2-million-bail/6363593002/ …

Wrong he was assaulted in every single case, multiple persons can be heard on video calling for his death, and one of his attackers even tried to execute him with a hand gun. Case one he was physically assaulted, case two he was assaulted with a skate board, case 3 execution

The man who tried to "execute him" was legally carrying that gun. Rittenhouse had already shot 2 other people. Why is it that he isn't seen as defending himself? He never shot his gun. 1/2

He might have been legally carrying, but he pursued a fleeing Rittenhouse. When you pursue someone who is fleeing, you pretty much lose self defense posture.

And you can also lose your self-defense posture if you are committing a crime in the first place. ie illegally carrying a firearm. That is why this case is so difficult. He also wasn't chasing him. He was trying to disarm KR after he shot 2 other people and KR had his gun raised

That is actually highly debatable. There have been cases of felons in possession of firearms that used them in self defense. The self defense was found justified even if the possession of the firearm was illegal.
