The difference for Rittenhouse is he nearly got killed and it was clearly self defense. I always like to take the first shot and make it count instead of waiting for the enemy to miss. Agree on most antifa, but there are some who are paramilitary trained now. Portland is a nasty hotbed for the thugs.
The rioters will get off scott free and the armed citizen will end up in the pen. The days of frontier justice are gone when we need them most. Another problem is that antifa has spent the last four years in firearms training and tactics. It may come down to the point where we won't have any choice but our preferred caliber.
