I don't know anything about the law, but think about it this way:

If somebody had jumped James Holmes as he opened fire at Aurora, wouldn't James have been "defending himself" by shooting the person jumping him?

I watched the video of shooting 2&3 a few times last night on youtube, and the comments were filling with "he's defending himself".

Well, in *any* active shooter situation where anybody interferes with an active shooter, in dry terms of English, the shooter is put into a position of defending himself. And because it's far more likely for cell footage to capture the events after they've been triggered, it's far more likely that in any active shooter case where confronting the shooter is possible, that the shooter will appear to be defending himself as he tries to escape the situation.

Compare with a case where a "faqs junior" is walking around with a gun, doesn't "get into anyone's face with his gun" but then tempers flare and he's chased without having done anything wrong. And then, what if it's somewhere in between? The guy who took a shot in the shoulder may come to view himself one day as lucky, for not rolling the dice by pulling the trigger himself.

Anyway, my main point was that everything filmed after the initial incident can mean wildly different things, depending upon what happened during that initial incident.

All I have to offer in this case is a legal resource. This is a criminal defense attorney out of Denver that I often listen to as part of the true crime community because I think he does a good job of objectively breaking down the legal aspects of an incident or case, and provides legal commentary updates as the investigation and case unfolds. Video runs 8 minutes and change.

In this, he runs the video in slo-mo and offers still shots to examine the incident. This youtuber doesn't screw around. I think you all will appreciate him. If you go to his channel and look at his videos, you'll see other videos where he's addressed this case including one uploaded today.

Just bring up the other videos and slide your little thing over until you see a photo of Rittenhouse.

If he hadn't been armed and hadn't threatened or seemed to be threatening the protestors, they probably wouldn't have been motivated to chase him down, at risk to their own lives, to disarm him.

In other words, let your business be burned to the ground and don't utter so much as a word of resistance lest this provoke the mob. Even calling the police is considered racist. If you run, they have the right to chase you down and beat you to death with a skateboard, and shoot you in the head with a a handgun. On the other hand, if a criminal flees the police, the police have no right to pursue him lest the pursuit turn deadly and criminal lives need to be protected above all else including law and order. It's amazing how this two tiered system of rights and responsibility works out in the mind of the leftist.

When BLM blocks the path of your vehicle. Don't call the police. Don't hit the gas, lest you run over one of them. Don't get out your gun. Just let them tear you from your car and kick your face in. Cause if one of the BLM protesters is hurt by your actions, that's your fault and you'll be punished in criminal court.

Let's get Biden elected. Once Beto O'Rourke confiscates your weapons of self defense and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez abolishes the police, we'll all be kneeling before BLM and taking kicks to the head for the sin of owning property. BIDEN in 2020!!!

What's Trump done to resolve the violence that's been going on for months now? Oh yeah, he's been golfing and tweeting, "better reelect me if you want change."

Who is stupid enough to believe Trump has answers? All he does is manipulate and exploit every situation to make you think "this will continue if you elect Biden." If he isn't motivated enough to do something before an election, why would he bother after being reelected?

Earth to dumbasses, Trump is the President and it is continuing now, under his watch. All he's done is politicize this and driven a wedge through America.

Yeah, I see what you mean, Icarus. I hadn't thought of it in quite that way before, but that really seems to be what Trump is trying to argue, "see how bad things are now? They are going to continue to be this bad if you elect Biden," while expecting his sycophantic, idiot base to ignore the obvious fact that they are this bad now, while he is still President, but somehow not because he is still President.

This is Trump's election strategy.

[_Gunnar]

This is Trump's election strategy.

The sad thing is how many of his base are foolish enough to be actually swayed by this strategy. Let's hope there aren't enough of them to reelect Trump.

[_Some Schmo]

There is national unrest in this country as a direct result of Trump's incompetence. Where there are riots on the streets, you've got Trump's greasy fingerprints all over them. He keeps ignoring the meaning behind the protests, and so the protests continue, giving assholes the opportunity to riot and blame liberals.

But according to his supporters, it's Democrats' fault.

The country has never been in worse shape, and these fu-cking morons want another 4 years. Idiocy is their brand.
