It’s absurd to say that Rittenhouse was there to provide first aid — he traveled to another community with a highly destructive gun.
If Rittenhouse threatened others, it was the others who were acting in self-defense.
The judge continues to side with the defense and coddle Rittenhouse. If Rittenhouse were black, the justice system and the public wouldn’t be so quick to assume innocence.
If you’re being chased by people with guns and you shoot, that’s clearly self-defense.
Just like many in the public, tech companies like Facebook and GoFundMe have presumed Rittenhouse’s guilt and don’t think he deserves a fair trial.
Rittenhouse wouldn’t even go to trial if it was a Trump supporter that was killed.

So long after the initial incident, our opinions about what happened are likely solidified in our brain as truth. When talking to others, it’s important to remember that their perspective feels as obvious to them as ours does to us.
No one knows the reality of those moments except the people involved, who will, inevitably, also interpret the situation differently based on their own views and values.
