Raises their hands at him??? Somebody raised a gun at Rittenhouse. He was hit in the back of the head with a skateboard twice. They were shouting "Get him." Rosenbaum had threatened him earlier. 16 shots were fired during the time Rittenhouse was defending himself. When he attempted to turn himself in to police with the crowd shouting "Dude just shot him!!!" he was turned away. Just about every claim you've made about this incident is inaccurate or wrong.
Nobody here has claimed this is a good message to send to kids or even adults. Furthermore, regardless of the fact that Rittenhouse was found not guilty (because the video evidence overwhelming exonerates him), I would hope people are smart to see that lesson to be learned from this incident is there is no reason go play hero, leave the situation to the police and our civic leaders even if they're doing a shitty job.
BTW, I notice no mention of how Kyle brought his first aid kit and treated protesters, no mention of how he didn't wear his bullet proof vest because he assumed he wasn't going to be in a gun fight. No mention of him approaching the police arms in the air to turn himself in. Half the facts leads to half a$$ed conclusions. Half the facts and bunch of distorted and completely incorrect facts leads to looking foolish.
Prosecutors had argued that Rittenhouse was responsible for the deadly peril that night. But legal experts said his claim of self-defense was strong from the beginning.
