The only weapons charge he could be charged with would be a misdemeanor. It isn't illegal to open carry in Michigan. Now, Rittenhouse was under 18, I've read conflicting things about this, since apparently, it might not be illegal to open carry a long rifle even if you are under 18. Regardless, Michigan has really permissive open carry laws. Hell, apparently, you are even allowed to open carry in polling places!
This was in response to my post, actually. But apparently there is police helicopter footage that first shows Rittenhouse running in Rosenbaums direction, then running away (which is when the video evidence we have all seen starts).
It seems that Rosenbaum was the one running at Rittenhouse. I would very much like to see that alleged footage.
From all the videos I have seen, Rosenbaum was aggressive toward other people. The "shoot me nigga" and pushing the flaming dumpster came before his encounter with Rittenhouse.
Apparently, Rittenhouse was carrying a fire extinguisher when Rosenbaum attacked him, making defense scenario much more plausible.
Especially since Rosenbaum has a history of violence and has attempted arson earlier that night.
If they select an impartial jury this should be an easy acquittal.
This didn't happen in Michigan.
It could be that Rittenhouse ran at Rosenbaum in order to threaten to shoot him with the AR-15 if Rosenbaum tried to set a building on fire. Rosenbaum might have then become angry at Rittenhouse specifically. It appeared Rosenbaum was chasing Rittenhouse when Rittenhouse turned and fired. That could have led to Rosenbaum becoming completely enraged, which led to Rittenhouse firing several more shots, fatally wounding him.This was in response to my post, actually.

Here's what I think happened: Rittenhouse was putting out fires. Rosenbaum and his group were starting fires. This pissed off Rosenbaum and his friend, who chased after Rittenhouse when he put out the fire near them, and was running towards another fire.
No, it isn't, but that isn't what I wrote. Don't leave out details.
You're right Wisconsin. Sorry, I'm one of those damn Coastal Elites everyone rightfully hates. I was born in the swamp. Raised in it.
New Jersey?
Nah. DMV.New Jersey?
Perhaps as the saying goes, you had to be there?
I agree.
Why do you suspect that, let alone strongly? Rosenbaum is on video being aggressive with other people. And he has a history of violent crime. It is very likely he went after Rittenhouse for nothing more than that he was pissed off that Rittenhouse was dousing fires Rosenbaum and his Antifa comrades were setting.
This is like a reception these days.... what is a football move? What is self-defense when someone crosses state lines while armed with a dangerous weapon (he isn't legally old enough to possess), to walk amongst a protest (not even participate in)?
I don't think that's entirely true. Your rights drop considerably while you are doing criminal activity.
Ain't this an important part, as it seems to be ignored.
Why he isn't escorted away by the Police we can only guess. But his services appeared to not be wanted.article (my emphasis) said:
Strange how you reverse your stance when the "child" is white.
