Anyone else watching the Kyle Rittenhouse trial?

Annually, more people are murdered with hands and feet than long rifles. Outside of that observation, I am not sure what you're getting at in regards to my comment and how it relates to that opinion piece.
He got off as the law did not take into the account getting hit by a plastic bag and feeling threatened by that should not have the plastic bag thrower die because of it. And how many shots from a rifle at short range is needed to dissuade a person throwing their toothbrush and tooth past at someone?

All this ruling has done is it will escalate any protests with people on both sides bringing firearms with them with shooting matches as a result. A good day in America I guess.

The people have spoken, but that prosecutor sucked. Points the rifle in court, questions the defendants 5th amendment right to silence? Total chooch.

Rittenhouse verdict: What counted as self-defense with open carry firearms?
On the day Rittenhouse killed Rosenbaum and Huber, there were many militia-like civilians with firearms roaming the streets of Kenosha, claiming their intent was keeping order. Grosskreutz himself stated, “I believe in the Second Amendment. I am for people’s right to carry and bear arms. And that night was no different than any other day. It’s keys, phone, wallet, gun.”

But a plastic bag and skateboard are no match for an AR-15. Wisconsin’s criminal laws don’t seem to adequately calibrate the right to carry concealed or open firearms and the right to self-defense. Two people paid the ultimate price for this disparity, and now it was a jury of Rittenhouse’s peers — rather than a legislature — that made the call for the rest of us.
they can use whatever half asses excuse they want to use, rittenhouse murdered and walked free, and a geriatric fuck in a robe he isn't good enough to wear let it happen...every murderous little white supremacist fuck in the country has a hard on right now, as they clean their ar-15s...cause now they know they can go out and murder people and get away with it

I'm all for objectivity. I listed objective facts about Rittenhouse's actions the night he killed three people in my explanation of why I doubt he is innocent. You are making shit up and hiding behind the jury's verdict. Yes, the jury followed the judge's instructions and found Rittenhouse not guilty. So he will walk and not face justice. I hope he corrects his life.
Of course he will correct his life. He will be a page (or whatever the possition is called down there) in Congress.

i don't...i hope he does this again, and it finally becomes obvious even to fossilized klansmen wearing judges robes that he's a fucking murderer
Do you really think white supremacists will ever do that?

They might give it lip service. Like the duplicitous statement @Applesauceisgood made regarding Jan 6.

"I found the actions on Jan 6 despicable". An open ended statement. That bit of bullshit could mean anything. Liars lie. Sometimes they don't even know they are lying, especially when they repeat other people's lies.

So on that basis
How could Kyle know the intent or history of his victims?
The history of his attackers does not matter. A pedophile who served his sentence has paid for crimes committed. The intent is obvious if you aren't arguing in bad faith. For example, adults recognize that charging at someone is nefarious intent which you have a right to protect against, depending on state law and the duty to retreat. In regards to the other attackers, the intent is obvious if you're being genuine. We agree being attacked by fists, feet, skateboards, and rocks is nefarious intent. Perhaps more so while in the act of retreat.
