I think most people who if they had a family member killed in the middle of the street at night by a kid from out of state with a rifle during a riot would want a trial to get some facts and wouldn’t just brush it off easily with a self defense claim like you want.
When someone is killed in this manner I think a trial is in order. I’m not saying any of those things detract from his self defense claim. I’m saying a trial is warranted considering those circumstances.
I think this might be over the top the other way when the evidence seems to be overwhelmingly on your side.
In the opening statement of the Rittenhouse trial, his attorney argues he was justified in shooting the victim carrying a skateboard, since it’s possible to decapitate someone with a skateboard if you decide to use it as a deadly weapon. pic.twitter.com/T9ji9VSlpN

Or maybe he's saying Rittenhouse should have carried a skateboard?
But I also get that attorneys will shoot for the moon to defend their clients.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
