It's your neighbor's punk kid or even a relative that's going to destroy your business or burn your house down with you in it.
The guy stood up to protect.
He was clearly the victim.
Had this happened in Rittenhouse’s hometown, neighborhood or outside his home or even while he was out with his parents I might buy that argument - but that isn’t the case as I have pointed out. If his parents felt it was a fight worth fighting then they themselves should have stood post instead of sending thier kid out to do it. What would have been an otherwise justifiable self defense shooting will be torpedoed by any halfway capable prosecutor making the argument that none of this would have happened had he as a minor not been out after curfew across state lines illegally carrying the rifle.
