Just having trouble wrapping my mind around a someone with morals while defending someone who did a grossly immoral act. Apologies.

There is nothing immoral about use of force in self-defense or defense of others. It has never been immoral, not in any society nor at any point in history to my knowledge. Self-preservation and the will to survive is our most base instinct, hence why it is enshrined in common law universally.
Its almost like he intentionally provoked the attack. At worse, he was "ignorant". Either way, its hard to claim self defense when you go to a riot with a gun full of people who dont take to to well to authoritarian actions. But well have to agree to disagree.
He went with Dominick Black because they were asked to defend property. That was not, by itself, provocation. Even in that context, he had right of expectation not to be attacked in the street. There was nothing to suggest that he ever did anything to Joseph Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum was a lunatic.
If he does it again, theyll carry his trial out in the street.
They tried that once and it didn’t go too well for them.
No he didnt. You dont walk down inner streets brandishing a rifle like that. And i hate to say it..especially if you are a 95lb white boy. That is asking to get killed. If he didnt expect to get attacked, hes a fucking idiot.
And again, you are ignoring the context. Scores of people were in Kenosha openly armed with rifles. Nobody gave him a second look. He wasn’t conspicuous.
Everybody has a right to expect not to be attacked in the street if they are not doing anything unlawful. You cannot just attack somebody because you don’t like the cut of their jib, or because you think they are asking for it. Come on.
WI is an open carry state & Kyle was amongst 100's of people who were similarly armed. There is no scenario where it's acceptable to attack someone for simply being armed. Additionally, there's no scenario where being armed forfeits your right to self defense.
Ah yes, that old trope. Do you know much about Kenosha and many of the communities hate for proud boys and police in general. Kyle knew. He sent texts and losted about it. A young white child larping as a proud boy with a weapon intended to kill people down streets of people who despise him.
It isn’t a trope, it is just a basic fact. He had spent seven hours in and among the rioters and protesters without incident until he got jumped by a violent idiot who had been threatening to kill people, including Rittenhouse, and who had been acting violently and belligerently towards others.
