So in that position, you'd have just submitted yourself to being beaten by the mob? I would argue a "reasonable person" would act differently.

I wouldn't have moved away from my other tacticool militia buddies.

I'm a 6'4" and 230lb adult male. I would not have been afraid for my life being pursued by an unarmed 5'3" 160lb man. Thus, use of lethal force would not be reasonable. I probably would have given ol' Mini Me a butt-stroke on the schnoz.

Except there were multiple gun shots and a mob with weapons.

Was Rittenhouse shot? Did he shoot anyone else in the "mob" that was armed, or did he only shoot the one dude who didn't have a weapon?

I've given my answer. Sorry you don't like it.

You are going to fight 5'3" midget pedo and his buddies, too?

That's not the question, the question is what you'd have done in his situation.

So, by your answer, you are saying you'd have physically attacked the first guy....and then when the rest of them got to you? You gonna take on a whole crowd of terrorists with your bare hands there killer?

I am 6'1" 190 lbs, Judo blackbelt, Brazilian Jiujitsu brown belt, and served 2 tours in Iraq.

Yet, i am not going to fight that 5'3" pedo especially when his buddies are around.

Hooligan must think he is John Wick.
