You cannot create the scenario in which you act in self defense by committing an overtly illegal act.

Quote:If a group only saw him shooting someone without the benefit of the video and were trying to catch him/alert the police he shot someone is that different?  Again, I suppose legally it is.

Would it change any charges against them, absolutely.  Would it nullify Rittenhouse lawfully acting in self defense, absolutely not.  

Quote:Of course the police welcomed him and then let him walk away with his arms up too so.....

Actually they drove past him, they didn't "welcome him".  Your argument is inherently disingenuous.  They were looking for a shooter, Rittenhouse walked to them in an attitude of surrender, which usually doesn't happen when you're looking for a shooter, hence they did not think he was the shooter.  To preempt your next obvious ply, they'd have done the same regardless of his skin color.  It was his demeanor that convinced them he wasn't a threat, because guess what, he wasn't.
