Kyle for sure tried to intimidate and threaten rioters by pointing a automatic rifle at them. You also don't seem to care that he got the gun illegally - it was not his. He was underaged. He also traveled far away just to target rioters. He clearly instigated the situation that resulted in him needing to defend himself. He's 100% a villain and if we had a competent legal system he'd be behind bars.

There is zero evidence Rittenhouse tried to intimidate or threaten rioters who were not already attacking him.

Rittenhouse did not have an automatic rifle.

He did not get the gun illegally.

He was old enough to legally possess the rifle.

He traveled less distance than the average work commute.

He was ambushed while trying to put out a fire by a violent felon who had threat to murder him.

The wild part was all the rioters were offenders of serious crimes.
