Rittenhouse was wrong in assuming that he could bluff these left wing radicals by standing with a rifle but look at him. They pegged him as a punk and they would have killed him and stolen his rifle if he hadn't opened fire. You could say that Rittenhouse put himself in a position to be a victim but that's not against the law. I'm surprised that the jury didn't come up with a compromise verdict but obviously they felt strongly about Rittenhouse innocence and saw through the prosecution's cheap tricks and the president's astonishing attempt to influence the verdict.
