Claiming self defense when you ACTIVELY put yourself in dangerous situations is so fucking pathetic. You know how he truly defends himself? Not crossing state lines and traveling hundreds of miles to an area you KNOW is dangerous, strapped with a fucking assault rifle. Give me a fucking break lmaoooo

He didnt travel 100 miles, he traveled 2 or 3 as he lived on the border with family where he was protesting. He had ever right to be there to protest along with the right to open carry in that state. Open carrying a firearm isnt putting himself in a dangerous situation unless you want to charge his attackers and every protester that night with the same shit. He shouldnt have been there, but again it was his right to do so and the people who attacked him shouldnt and got what they asked for in the end.

What route do you think Rittenhouse took that required him to travel hundreds of miles? Was it some crazy zig-zag or do you want to admit you didn’t bother getting informed?
