While Rosenbaum was unarmed, I can see it as completely reasonable for someone to be in fear for their life in that situation.

If I recall correctly, Rittenhouse had stopped and turned to face Rosenbaum, standing there as Rosenbaum approached, unarmed. It wasn't a quick turn and shoot. 

I understand that hearing gun fire could cause a reasonable fear, but he shot an unarmed man at point blank range. It's not like Rosenbaum had something that even looked like a gun. 

What will impact this is what occurred prior to what's on video. If Rittenhouse goads anyone, Wisconsin law shoots self defense down.
