You raised the assertion that Rittenhouse was responsible for the verbal altercation with Rosenbaum that led to Rosenbaum chasing and attacking him. Do you think that a verbal altercation is sufficient provocation to physically attack someone? If so, could you provide us with examples of words or statements that would justify physically assaulting someone?
I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
Not Dill, but I'll take a shot in the dark here.
As I'm told, words without means are not sufficient to start any sort of physical altercation. HOWEVER, one would think (and this is conjecture, not what I believe happened or anything; simply playing Devil's advocate) that words with means would be sufficient. I.e: an openly armed individual threatening my life would definitely warrant a response from me. May not hold up in a court of law without sufficient evidence (such as here, though they may have said evidence and it hasn't been made public), but I feel like it'd be justified.
