Self defense is protecting yourself from someone who means you harm. Which is what Rittenhouse did. The question is, why do you not see this?
My apologies if that offends but you insist on dancing around the facts, facts that I asked if you aware of but did not answer. Namely:
* That Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse.
* That Rittenhouse was running and trying to get away from Rosenbaum.
* That Rosenbaum tried to take Kyle’s gun from him when Kyle got cornered.
Except that there's no real evidence for that. He certainly wasn't still trying to take the gun when Rittenhouse shot him in the back.
I’m just having trouble wrapping my head around your reluctance to call it self defense, given everything we know.
The part where he deliberately went to a riot zone with an assault rifle.... driving across state lines with a weapon he wasn't legally allowed to own.
