Not here to argue whether he should be guilty or not or whether the protests caused damage or not, but take this another way… Imagine Jewish people were protesting something and a kid with swastikas showed up with an AR15 or maybe some kids with Hama flags with AR15s. How difficult would it be to trigger a conflict and then say they were afraid for their lives.
So whether Rittenhouse is technically innocent or not, the idea that people here are supportive of a 17 year old kid with an AR15 at such a protest is pretty disturbing to me.
