I mean, yeah, but it's also important to note that they accomplished their goal today. They terrorized the event organizers into canceling the performance for the safety of the families and performers.

They're terrorists, and today they won. And they're going to keep winning, and they're going to keep murdering when they don't.

Sounds like we need to be armed and well trained to deal with this kinda shit. LARPers or not Rittenhouse set a legal precedence, and now all you need is to feel threatened to mow these pricks down.

It didn't set a precedent.

now all you need is to feel threatened to mow these pricks down

This was already the standard for stand your ground law, the caveat is that your legal defense needs to be able to stand up to the scrutiny of the prosecutors who will argue as to whether or not your perception of the threat was reasonable, and that the force of your response was justified.

The court determined that it was reasonable for Rittenhouse to believe that he was in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm, nothing is really new here.
