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/ …
I have multiple convos going on about this. The shot I know will play a role. How grabbing the gun is viewed depends. Since he is dead he can't testify but if he had been threatened to be shot he may have been, as has been reported, trying to disarm him.

My thoughts are on this is that most people on either side are basing their view on their implicit bias rather than the understanding that this isn't a cut and dry case in either direction from a legal standpoint. Could also be acquitted on some changes and guilty on others.

There is plenty of available evidence for this case, and all of it leads to self-defense. Even the charging document lays out the self-defense basis.

Rosenbaum's motivation/reasonableness will be irrelevant to determining Rittenhouse's reasonableness. Rittenhouse a) was acting lawfully, b) was chased by a threatening mob, c) heard gunshot, d) was cornered, e) had someone reach for his rifle. Reasonable fear. Self-defense.

He wasn't acting lawfully though. He is being charged with unlawful possession of a dangerous firearm under 18 and he (all of them) were breaking curfew.
