I suspect that had Joseph Rosenbaum gone for any of the other armed individuals the way he went for Rittenhouse after catching him alone, his fate would have been largely the same. He was just asking to be shot by way of his violent conduct, and I mean that figuratively as well as literally.
Yes, I know, and the thread I reposted says basically that. Rittenhouse is still a piece of shit who profited off the murders he committed for years. He was also a kid who was encouraged into that situation by a right wing propaganda machine. Lots of things are true all at once.
Yes, I think much of his post-trial endeavors have been extremely ill-advised. To balance that though, his prospects were curtailed by people who actively sought to organize protests and boycotts against prospective employers and education institutions. And he has expensive legal bills to foot.
