In reply to the discussion: The Rittenhouse verdict should not have been a surprise [View all]DallasNE
(7,403 posts)Was always problematic with Rosenbaum. Huber was a different matter. Rittenhouse had already fired 4 shots, setting up an active shooter situation. Huber would have been viewed as a hero had he been able to disarm Rittenhouse. His lunge was off-balance so he fell and instead Rittenhouse shot and killed him. What Huber did next would determine whether it was self defense for Rittenhouse. If Huber made no more advances then I could see reckless endangerment but if Huber again made an attempt to disarm him then Rittenhouse could claim self defense. I didn't follow the testimony so I don't know the answer to that. But the verdict, like with George Zimmerman, sets up an opportunity for still another shooting of this nature. And there is no shortage of willing participants.
