I been watching this case all week.

Being a true crime afficiando, I am mesmerized.

My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that this case is much like Rittenhouse....the assailant was going to grab the gun of the owner and shoot HIM.

On other words, self-defense.

But a spell binder.

If the third guy never released the video, then none of this would have ever happened. They declined to press charges, yet he felt like he had to do it to "clear the air".

People need to wake up and realize that you're not going to successfully explain yourself to people who are looking for any reason to hang you.

Difference is these guys went after Aubrey.
Rittenhouse spent the whole time trying to escape.

What about the part where they chased him with two vehicles around the neighborhood?

The only problem is that Kyle wasn't the aggressor, nor did he chase anyone down with his gun

You can't chase someone down at gun point, block their way on a public street and the claim self defense because the unarmed man tried to defend himself against your illegal actions trying to get away from you.

Those are facts of this case

Apples and oranges. Rittenhouse was faced with people who were armed and were attacking him. Arbery was unarmed. The McMichaels initiated the incident by trying to stop Arbery and threatening him with pistols and shotguns. In most states if you are the initiator of the conflict you have a hard time proving self defense.

Nothing at all like Rittenhouse case. These clowns chased this guy down they street. They are going to jail and deservedly so.

"the assailant was going to grab the gun of the owner and shoot HIM."

Aubrey wasn't going to grab the gun. He in fact had grabbed the shotgun, and the two struggled with it on camera. He wouldn't have been shot if he'd kept his pea-pickin' hands off the shotgun. Nobody in the media has bothered to wonder what Aubrey was going to do with that shotgun once he got ahold of it. But of course, that doesn't fit the narrative.

The video I've seen suggests that it might have been a justified shooting...but isn't as clear or definitive as the Rittenhouse videos.

Is there evidence Ahmaud Arbery was actually a burgler? If he is an innocent jogger, and a guy jumps out of a truck with a gun, Arbery has a right to self-defense. This case doesn’t look as obvious as Rittenhouse.

It differs from the Rittenhouse case. Who was being chased by whom?

It does matter how he got into that situation.
