Protecting himself from another human being (unarmed) running in his direction? Do you really think that human being deserved being shot to death?

The alternative for Rittenhouse would be to stand there and let the other guy attack him, possibly take rifle away and kill Rittenhouse. 

 

It's for the jury to decide.

The real humanism, probably, starts at the moment you feel other person’s pain and suffering as much as your own.  Without it - you are in a computer game shooting everybody at the slightest hint of danger.

Yes, this indeed was a gamble. Will this unarmed man kill me (probability = much much less than 100%) or should I shoot and kill him with the chances of killing 200% ? We all know what choice this bloody “kid” made. No wonder he was unable to simulate anything similar to the human kind of crying at the court.

That he shot people dead is not disputed by anyone.

Humanism? Other people’s pain?

 

That’s really rich coming from someone who supported a despicable, disgusting post on Page 5 of this thread.
