The original sin was Rittenhouse was there with a long rifle looking for trouble. You can dice it any way you like but that's the nut of it.

That ISN'T "the nut of it". Not even close. He had EVERY right to be there as did everyone else. Just as much Gaige Grosskreutz did (who brought a Glock). He was legally there in every aspect. Was legally carrying as well (Judge threw the gun charge out).

MORALLY, should he have been there? Probably not. He is a 16 year old kid, probably shouldn't have been going to an active riot zone with shit on fire. NO ONE should have been there. None of this should have happened.

Ziminski shot his weapon, and Rittenhouse turned around after hearing the shot, seeing Rosenbaum running at him.

According to a McGinniss, Rosenbaum yelled "fuck you" and grabbed Rittenhouse's gun barrel, Rittenhouse fired four times and killed him.

The McGinniss started administering aide to Rosenbaum, and Rittenhouse stood there for a bit, then fled as he was still being pursued by protestors.

Videos show people yelling "Beat him up!", "he shot someone!", and "Get him!" as Rittenhouse fled the scene.

Rittenhouse tripped at one point, falling to the ground. Maurice Freeland jump kicked Rittenhouse, and he shot back, missing. Anthony Huber struck Rittenhouse with his skateboard, and grabbed his gun. Rittenhouse shot him in the chest, killing him.

Rittenhouse was still on the ground, and Gaige Paul Grosskreutz approached him with a pistol in hand. He held his hands up as Rittenhouse pointed at him. Grosskreutz then pointed his gun at Rittenhouse and Rittenhouse shot him in the arm and got up and fled to the police with arms raised.

So, you are incorrect. Two of the men Rittenhouse shot where carrying weapons. One used a skateboard and struck Rittenhouse in the shoulder/neck/head, the other pointed a pistol at him. The other was screaming, and grabbed his gun barrel. The fourth who Rittenhouse missed, had jump kicked him.

I watched the entire Trial. It was clearly self defense. The video footage is extremely clear on the events of the case. The only thing the prosecutors had was a blurry still frame from a drone claiming to be of rittenhouse pointing his rifle at someone before the shootings.
