Despise the punkassed, gun-toting Pissant, but prosecution was never going to overcome reasonable doubt when the first victim chased Rittenhouse and the second one pulled his own gun. The 3rd victim is probably best case, but it’ll be too late to overcome reasonable doubt.

Sucks, and officials need to ban gunz on the streets, especially at protests.
