@RichardAngwin Well, Hunter DID film himself committing multiple drug, firearms, and perjury felonies. While Rittenhouse was filmed committing multiple acts of LITERALLY-textbook self-defense against multiple violent rioters trying to murder him as he ran from them. Just a BIT different.

@freedomgeoffry @acnewsitics I kinda dislike this particular point, because their records weren't especially relevant. What's relevant is that Rittenhouse shot each of them to stop them in their active attempts to MURDER HIM. That's literally all that really matters.
