Instigating is just asking for trouble and his decisions leading up to the moment were all poor, but after being swung at by multiple people WITH weapons including a gun, he defended himself. He should be cleared of all charges imo

They were going to kill him. He defended himself with his weapon only when his life was threatened

Who also attacked him first. Therefore, still self defense.

Still no proof of this. Zero video evidence.

Meanwhile there's plenty of video evidence of the bald guy screaming "Shoot me" at the armed civilians even though they claimed multiple times they were there to protect businesses. Clearly this guy got aggressive and charged at Rittenhouse because HE was looking for a fight.

A self-defense defense seems likely to win, according to legal experts reading the NYT's reporting: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/us/kyle-rittenhouse-kenosha-shooting-video.html

He may (is probably) be guilty of other crimes, such as transporting firearms, or illegal carrying. That's a little bit blurrier. Here's one take: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/aug/28/facebook-posts/did-kyle-rittenhouse-break-law-carrying-assault-st/

What's scary isn't that conservatives are defending this guy, which is gross, but hailing him as a hero.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/aug/26/tucker-carlson-kenosha-shooting-teen-kyle-rittenhouse
Kyle was emboldened by conservative rhetoric, did something insanely stupid and horrible, and is now being lionized by conservatives. When people complain about "political brainwashing to create a civil war" this is it. This is radicalization incarnate. Fuck em all.

I bet he might be able to shake off the first-degree intentional homicide, but there's no way he's walking scot-free, especially not the possession misdemeanor charge. I'm thinking he'll get hit with recklessly endangering safety, and MAYBE the count of reckless homicide.

I guess if they're liberals, we cheer for the shooter to defend himself?

A lot of right wingers literally do not care about one of their own gunning down someone else, in self defense or not, as long as the action supports or furthers a agenda they have. Also, if a minority is a victim of the shooting, innocent or not, they are likely to rejoice. Right wingers are becoming a lot more synonymous with white supremecists / nationalists and domestic terrorists and try to hide it under the guise of being "true patriots" and / or "zealous supporters of law enforcement". Truly disgusting people.

Nope. You know what you are getting in to when you freely walk in to a conflict zone. He had the choice of staying at home, which was in a different state.

Wrong. It didn't become a conflict zone until the cops and the illegal armed militia showed up, and made it one.

Zimmerman was cleared of shooting someone who was just using their fists.

Zimmerman is a soft, punk ass coward. Not only did he deserve to get his ass beat, but choosing to use a deadly weapon in a fight makes him no man at all. He and this Rittenhouse terrorist should rot.

You're not wrong though. America loves to sympathize with these pieces of shit so long as they vaguely represent the radical right wing plague that has poisoned our country from its onset. All they will see is white and the right to bear arms versus symbols of change.

Wisconsin law doesn't allow for the self defense defense if they themselves are in the act of committing a crime, limits the use of self defense if the shooter provoked the attack, and the big one is that self defense is not a valid defense if the shooter deliberately provokes with the intent to use deadly force.
