Hi, I've been following this case and I'm curious about how do you feel about it.

Now that both the defense and the prosecutor have made their closing statements, what is your veredict?

I think the defense proved it was self defense. I don’t know how this doesn’t get political though.

should probably be a directed verdict and self defense because the one guy said he pointed a gun at KR first.

He is guilty of going to a place you shouldn’t go. The middle of a riot.

An asshole with a pistol he shouldn't have had thought he was defending himself against an asshole with a rifle he shouldn't have had who thought he was defending himself against an asshole with a pistol he shouldn't have had. It's like a perfect storm of young assholes with guns they weren't legally allowed to own. That's my shitty hot-take anyway. I expect he's gonna beat the charges though, the judge seems to be making a lot of decisions in his favour.

Never should have been charged.

gun was legal.

only argument I’ve heard that he shouldn’t have been there that is correct is that the MEN in the community should have been doing what he did.

Rosenbaum didn't have a pistol. He was charging unarmed towards Rittenhouse, so I don't know if shooting at him is reasonable. Although if he got to Rittenhouse he could have hurt him or even shoot at him with his own rifle. So I don't know.

I would vote other.

I was referring to Gaige Grosskreutz, you're right about Rosenbaum.

It’s legal for a 17 year old to be carrying that?

If so, geezus fucking Christ.
