He was being chased, a round was fired by someone in the chase, and that is when he turned to find someone right on top of him. I would likely have reacted the same way. Guy would've had a 9mm bullet go through him instead of a 5.56, but the result is the same.

Now, the judge saying the term "victim" is prohibited can be understandable given the loaded connotations. However, other terms still allowed are also quite loaded. I definitely think the decision is a bit one-sided. Either we seek to rid the room of pathos or we let it in, don't let one side play with it while the other can't.

All in all, I believe Rittenhouse should be found guilty of his possession charge, but that's it.

This is how I feel.  I think liberals should just let this one go and try not to give the violent extremist neo-cons who like the idea of someone killing liberals the satisfaction of refusing to believe this was a justified action.

Seriously, if the idea of neo-cons getting hard over a conservative killing liberals gets you down just go over to that reddit thing that laughs at anti-vaxxers who die of covid and get your symmetrical jollies.
