    Wow. This is a wonderful article. Thank you❤️ These men were heros and absolutely did nothing wrong but try to stop someone intent on hurting others.

    No doubt that Rittenhouse shouldn’t have been there and he was out of his league. But just because he made a poor decision to attend doesn’t rob him of his right to self defense. The evidence clearly showed he was attacked and not the aggressor.

    From Rosenbaum chasing him, ultimately catching up with him, and trying to take his gun. To the second fella hitting him in the head with a skateboard. To lastly someone pointing a gun at him. Each one of those actions is a clear cut, CASE LAW documented example of deadly force/serious bodily harm…therefore justifiable self defense.

    We clearly may disagree politically or on social issues, but facts are facts and law is law. The minute we strive from that and act on emotion, we lose the entire purpose of a justice system.

  3. I’m not a lawyer. That said, if we have a system that can allow someone to – by their own actions – cause a situation that leads to murder, we’ve already lost the system. Trayvon Martin’s murder (and the use of ‘Stand Your Ground’ to defend the man who stalked him, attacked him, then ultimately felt frightened because he was getting his ass kicked) already lost the purpose of the system for me and many others. But thanks for being one of the few to write against this piece in a respectful manner.
