Kyle Rittenhouse a hero? (update - not guilty on all charges)

According to the law. The aggressor loses legal protection. To respond to armed aggression with retaliatory violence may be legally protected, but highly risky on a personal level.

Maybe we should start blaming and prosecuting those who initiate violence and destruction at First Amendment type events. But I don't guess that would go over well with those that have come to view rioting as valid self expression.

Is pointing a weapon not considered an aggressive action?
