What is the allegation against Rittenhouse? Murder, unlawful use of a firearm, blah, blah. These are the charges. The Proud Boy association is a red herring. It is irrelevant to whether the allegation of murder. Did Rittenhouse commit murder? This is the central question. The evidence has to establish a motive the motive for the crime. Associating with Proud Boys does not have any relevancy.
Who did Rittenhouse shoot? Why did he shoot? Was he attacked? Was he in fear for his life? What was the intent of those who attacked him? What does the video show? What was Rittenhouse's reaction after the shots were fired? Were they the reactions of a murderer or that of an individual defending life and limb against imminent threats? What was Rittenhouse's reaction immediately after the firing of his firearm? Did the video show without a shadow of doubt that the lone survivor pointed a gun at Rittenhouse first before Rittenhouse fired? Rittenhouse got off a shot wounding the would-be shooter before he could get off a shot. It is purported that the survivor stated he hesitated for a moment and that was the reason why he was shot. The survivor stated he contemplated shooting Rittenhouse and he regrets hesitating. I wonder if this will come out in the court hearing?
