Maybe it’s just me, but if I was to be openly carrying a rifle during a riot, and someone has stated to me that they would kill me. Then later in the night, said person that made verbal threats, begins chasing after me, I would legitimately be concerned for my safety. My thought process is, who in their right mind would chase after a person that has a rifle, while unarmed. So my belief is that this guy is going to seriously try and hurt me or kill me. So, I begin running away from him, simultaneously a gun shot goes off from behind me while being chased down.
At this point I could understand a person being in fear of great bodily harm or death, and turning back and pointing their weapon at Rosenbaum.
Rittenhouse then turns away and continues running. Rosenbaum even after having the weapon pointed at him continues to chase, which again if I’m Rittenhouse further makes me believe Rosenbaums attempts to make good on his threats. Rittenhouse then stops a second time, Rosenbaum then closes in and reaches towards his gun and is then fatally shot.
