Why would you chase and lunge at, or otherwise attack, a young man who's carrying a semi-automatic rifle? This is what happened last August 25 in the Kyle Rittenhouse affair, and it's crazy behavior.
With respect to at least one of the three men shot in self-defense by Rittenhouse, Joseph Rosenbaum, there may be a logical explanation for such craziness: Rosenbaum really was, clinically speaking, crazy.

nah he thought the kid wouldn’t shoot
Joseph Rosenbaum was the pedo wasn’t he? I heard claims that when he met his end it was after getting a 55 grain nut check at point plank range, bleeding out afterwards. Hell of a way to punch your own ticket.
That’s what I thought. Rosenbaum was probably used to bluffing and bullying to get his way, especially with people younger than himself. He thought Ritterhouse would freeze solid at the last second, drop his gun and maybe burst into tears.
All the men he shot were “not normal” in one way or another. The mob that was actually burning down businesses in that town was a collection of losers and worse, characters with nothing to lose. Who knows what self-destructive despair underlies such a waste of a life?
Dude was used to bullying kids. He thought Rittenhouse would give up his gun and take his beating like his other victims had done.
Joseph Rosenbaum thought he was a badass until he wasn’t. Tragic mistake.
I think I’m glad he’s dead and couldn’t care less about his motivation. Just like I don’t care about the motivation of a black widow spider I find in the garage. Just kill it.

Because you think he is a poser with a prop that he believes will scare you while you regard yourself as the ass-kicking Real Deal. The dead guy miscalculated. A hell of a lot of self styled badasses make that kind of miscalculation when a run of the mill person points a gun.
But... this article says Rosenbaum had just been released that night from the hospital following a suicide attempt.
So... he was suicidal. Whether he really expected Rittenhouse to defend himself is another question.
The only regretful thing about this was that the young man Rittenhouse was put through Hell.
If I am supposed to feel anything other than grim satisfaction and acceptance at the death and injury of those low-life scumbags who chased him, that won’t happen.
From the article: Rosenbaum “was acting aggressively and repeatedly challenged a group of armed men to shoot him.” Yes, a mentally unstable Rosenbaum attacked a man with both shooting skills and a gun. Illogical, unethical and probably motivated by faulty brain wires and defective neurons. Two morals to the story. Everyone needs to learn shooting skills and mental health skills.
Yes. His mother suffered too. Just by association.
I don’t know if she has moved from that city or not.
Agree. He watched too many movies where the young guy won’t shoot.

That poor woman. She can take satisfaction in knowing she raised a man.
Yep. Famous last words “Nah - your too much of a wimp to shoot.”
Rosenbaum had a long history of mental illness.
He had just been released from the hospital after an attempted suicide.

He did not commit suicide. No, instead, all the movies he watched as a kid where the hero dodges bullets made him believe he was invincible and that nothing would hurt him.
In short, if one is a leftist than that person is, by default, delusional and can not comprehend consequence.
