I don’t see how this changes anything. The people chasing him were after he shot the guy in the face. You can’t claim self defense while committing a crime.

If he was defending himself from mob action in the first shooting he most certainly was defending himself from another mob action in the subsequent shootings. The video clearly depicts that Rittenhouse was acting to defend himself in both cases. I don't see how you can just blow that off as irrelevant.I don’t see how this changes anything.

What's this even mean?
Correct me if I’m wrong, don’t believe I am, but he, 17, bright a rifle across state limes and was basically there for the “event.”
I’m almost positive that alone screws his defense. That’s before considering he killed someone who “lunged” at him. If he has the weapon illegally he can’t claim self defense from my understanding of the law. He’s also not a police officer. A cop can shoot someone who is trying to take their gun, much harder for a non leo to do so without a legal fight. It’s almost like the scene out of southpark “he’s coming right for us! I don’t think you can legally shoot someone because you have a gun and someone lunges at you.
Huh. Well, in MY authoritative legal opinion,. I am rubber, and you are glue. Neener neener boo boo.

He’s being charged with having the weapon and being under the age of 18. Apparently a misdemeanor.

Never happen. The very first accounts I saw they were reporting it as an active shooter situation. When a person shoots to defend themselves against an armed aggressive person (guy he shot in arm) or another aggressive person physically attacking him (guy with skateboard), or even defending himself against an aggressive person who is attempting to take his weapon (molester as described above) doesn't meet the active shooter description in my opinion especially when he is running away from the threats.That video should be running on a loop on every major news network, instead of the incendiary garbage that they're putting it out each night.
