“claiming self defense.”

FFS, one of them pointed a loaded gun at Rittenhouses head from 5 feet away. how is that NOT self defense? the guy who got shot, pointed his gun at rittenhouse, before rittenhouse raised his gun at him. open and shut self defense.

Maybe the guy who was pointing the gun saw an active shooter kill two people, but I guess it all depends on who’s shooting.
I can find plenty of rationalizations for shooting armed people that were seen as threats.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
