I've seen a lot of video and reports in the past couple of days, including some new stuff and now I think I have a clearer picture of how the incident with Rittenhouse all went down.
A car dealer who'd supposedly had already suffered a lot of loss at his dealership from the rioting asked for help defending his business. This militia group decided to go down there and protect the business. At some point rioters set a dumpster on fire and was pushing it towards a gas station adjacent to the car dealership and Rittenhouse, seen on video running that direction with a fire extinguisher in hand, assisted the group in putting out the fire or fires. This is where the shouting match between the rioters and the militia group began where Rosenbaum (the first shot) can be seen shouting "shoot me, n*****!" among many other things at the militia group. At some point soon thereafter, Rittenhouse is separated from the rest of the militia group. His lawyer contends that it was because he was trying to help someone that had been injured, but there is no video or witness to corroborate this, that I've seen. In the next video you see Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse in a parking lot., someone behind them is seen shooting a gun into the air and then Rosenbaum catches up to Rittenhouse behind a car where, according to Rittenhouse's lawyer, Rosenbaum begins to beat Rittenhouse from behind and trying to take the gun from him. Rittenhouse then turns on Rosenbaum and begins firing. Rittenhouse then starts to run away, but then returns to Rosenbaum where someone else is trying to help him. At that point Rittenhouse calls someone and as he's running away again tells the person on the phone that he'd just shot someone. From there it's pretty clear. Rittenhouse is trying to run towards the police barricade when people catch up to him, he trips and falls and is attacked. The first guy tries to kick Ritenhouse who fires at him missing him and he runs off, the next guy hits him with a skateboard and is then shot by Rittenhouse, the lasr pulls out a pistol and is shot in the arm. Rittenhouse then gets up and again runs towards the police who are now advancing towards where the initial incident occured. Rittenhouse then goes up to one of the police cars and the officers in the car are heard screaming at him to get out of the street and step back away from the car.
In the world I'm familiar with, none of that will matter if Rittenhouse was committing a felony by carrying a firearm when and how he was. Deaths that occur while you're engaged in a crime are automatically your fault.
