I got a question for you cuckservatives who are slobbering over cry baby Rittenhous's balls. If he had the right to defend himself, then why didn't Trayvon Martin?
Rittenhouse shouldn't have been in Kenosha that night just like Zimmerman shouldn't have gotten out of the car. But he'll still be found not guilty of murder just like Zimmerman was. And there's far more evidence in support of the defense in this case.

"The jurors supporting the not guilty verdict proved to be the more persuasive, arguing that whether or not Zimmerman profiled Martin, or was foolish in following him, was legally irrelevant to the charges. As the deliberations progressed, the jurors initially inclined to find Zimmerman guilty came around to the view that "the law says at the end of the day all that mattered is who was on top on who was on the bottom"--and the evidence suggested Martin was on top and Zimmerman on the bottom (or, at the very least, there was a reasonable basis for believing that to be the case). After sixteen hours of debating the evidence,
the jury returned its verdict of "not guilty."
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper three days after the trial ended, a juror identified only as
"Juror B37" offered her view of the case. She described George Zimmerman as "a man whose heart was in the right place, but went above and beyond what he really should have done." She added, "If anything, Zimmerman was guilty of not using good judgment...When he was in the car, and he had called 911, he shouldn't have gotten out of that car." None of the jurors, she told Anderson, "thought race played a role. We never had that discussion." In her analysis of the evidence, "Trayvon decided that he wasn't going to let him scare him ... and I think Trayvon got mad and attacked him." Citing Florida law, Juror B37 concluded Zimmerman "had a right to defend himself. If he felt threatened that his life was going to be taken away from him, or he was going to have bodily harm, he had a right." Stating the obvious, she said, "It's a tragedy this happened. But it happened."
