You believe he was going for the knife, and given that the Wisconsin Dept of Justice refused multiple times to say whether or not the cop who shot him knew there was a knife in his car, I find that hard to justify 7 bullets in the back. 

That's just me, a guy who doesn't think we need to blow holes in everyone who looks at us funny.

Dressing up in cop clothes?  LOL.  Should you really be trick-or-treating at that age?  Seems like something a mentally balanced teenager would be comfortable doing without an insane amount of embarrassment.

That doesn't mean that I think he shouldn't be punished to the fullest extent of the law.  That means I have a heart and feel for people who turn out like this one did.

The police officer was heard saying "Drop the knife!" in the video. Pretty damning evidence that he had a knife.

I mean, the official statement doesn't say that he was going for it, threatened to use it, or brandished it, but it's a "stone cold fact"

LOOOOOOOOL

Dude was just tasered by the cops and resisting. He went to the location of a deadly weapon after that. Use your brain for a second. I know it's hard to actually think for yourself, but you can do it. Anyone with 2 brain cells knows what he was doing.

However, one of the idiots in the crowd fired a shot from his handgun into the air before Rittenhouse stops and fires any shots. After that person fired the shot into the air, Rittenhouse turns around, sees Rosenbaum, and very reasonably in my opinion sees his life in danger and fires at Rosenbaum as that is who is pursuing him. The other two shots as self-defense depended on the status of the first one in my view.

I am still of the opinion he should have been taken into custody by police and that he should be charged with illegal possession of a firearm. However, the homicide charges against him should not hold.

Also, the "Rosenbaum was a pedophile" thing appears to be a fake.
