Sure, let's discuss and compare. Focusing on the incident you just brought up, and using the "reasonable person" standard which is a bedrock of our criminal justice system. The two people in question entering the gas station did so with masks on and removing concealed handguns from their person. Would a reasonable person assume they are there to commit a robbery? If the same two guys walked in open carrying, but not brandishing, in a state that allows for open carry would the same reasonable person assume they are there to rob the store? For anyone not familiar with this particular situation here's the video.
I'll leave it to you all to discern the very marked differences between this incident and the Rittenhouse occurrence.
So the guy was up in there breaking the law. Got attacked and killed his attacker. Does he get charged with murder?
