Rittenhouse is neither a murderer nor a hero.
Self defense isn't murder.
In fact, there's an entire state statute that covers this.
You should read it.

He went to larp as a militant in a town 20 miles from Kenosha during the hight of civil unrest. Found out how stupid that was and killed a man. Now he's venerated at CPAC.
He didn't decide to watch over Car Source until later that afternoon (25th).
It wasn't a pre planned event.
He was not an officer, nor does he have any jurisdiction to watch over anything but his personal property. Not saying he deserved to be attacked but even in the most charitable light to some degree, he knew what he was doing.
Yet, you called him a murderer for defending himself against those attacks. 🤔
I don't think it's right for him to have been attacked and I don't think him playing dress up militia member and capping a civ is good. I think it's even worse that mainstream right wing media lords him as a hero for this.
The "hero" reference is an unfair argument. Most of the attention & defense of Kyle comes from people regurgitating misinformation regarding the incident. Others, like myself, attempt to debunk those myths.
Calling him a murderer doesn't help.
Someone doesn't need to be an officer or have jurisdiction to volunteer to watch over a minority owned business.
