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
Pretty hard to retreat when you are on the ground and getting smashed with a skateboard. And if you are fleeing and being pursued, you are retreating.

He did not retreat when the bag was thrown at him. Again what you or I for that matter think is completely irrelevant. What will matter is what happens in court. He has hurt his credibility already though 1/2

Because he has lied. He stated that he was hired as armed security for the car dealership. The owner has refuted this and said he didn't hire any security. This will be an issue. So will having someone illegally purchase a gun for him and bringing it there. 2/2

Additionally claiming he was a trained medic when he only had lifeguard training also undermines his credibility. His legal team is doing him a disservice by not saying he was a scared kid in a bad situation (true) instead painting him as a hero (subjective).
