Sure

Almost anyone could have shot and killed Rittenhouse that evening and snippets of video would have justified the killing. That dude with a handgun could have blasted him and walked away without any charges (provided he was a legal possessor of guns).

When he was running away from the initial shooting people could reasonably believe they were chasing a murderer and after he fell and lifted the weapon he was fair game to be shot by anyone who believed he was a fleeing killer getting ready to kill others.

I'm not arguing he wasn't not guilty - I believe the jury reached the correct verdict given the law. Those same exact laws would have protected any number of people who killed Rittenhouse - say if the guy busted his head open with his boots, or if the guy with the skate board broke his neck. They too would have a similar defense.

They are just stupid laws.
