They posted graphics calling him a "biological female" before he caved. Rittenhouse backtracked his criticism not even 12 hours after the online hate from his fellow conservatives started.
He obviously went there looking for trouble. What Rittenhouse did in response to other people’s unlawful actions was deemed lawful by a court. There’s not much more to it besides the cases hyper politicisation. For some reason (riots) it became left vs right. If you remove the politics, it’s just some idiot who knowingly went into a dangerous situation - then some other idiots attacked him, one even had a gun pointed at him, this is worse than Rittenhouse simply carrying a gun. It seemed like a dumb case for the left to get behind - nearly nothing about Rittenhouse’s attackers were discussed in the media. It was solely focused on Rittenhouse and his stupidity. Not what whether or not his attackers also did something wrong. Which they did according to a court.

Yes. I'm not calling him a murderer because Republicans have rallied around him, or because of what the protest was about.
Remove the politics and I'm still calling him a murderer because he knowingly put himself in a dangerous situation with the intent of shooting people in order to protect property that wasn't even his, because it is appropriate to take lives to protect property. It is not appropriate to damage property to protect lives.
Yes but Rittenhouse couldn’t have shot someone unless he felt in fear for his life. This isn’t like a cop putting 20 bullets in someone cause he thought his comb was a gun. He literally had a gun pointed at him. If this didn’t happen he would be a murderer. It did happen and the idiot who did this should share the blame of a stupid situation. It’s like people can’t comprehend there are shades of grey.

Who said they weren't both fucking idiots? No one is parading the one that got shot around like they're some kind of hero.
Still doesn't change the fact that Rittenhouse went there to shoot people and is an unrepentant piece of shit.
