It would be different if he had made a statement saying so, but every statement he made was about helping the community. How is that wanting to be a part of the chaos?
You’ve pretty much yourself stated that Rittenhouse did nothing wrong other than having his weapon on display. I’d love to see your opinion on a scantily clad woman walking down the street. Did she provoke her rapists by putting her assets on display? Rittenhouse didn’t make anyone do anything. Those shot were solely responsible for their behaviour and trying to place even partial blame on the kid is just disgusting. Ask yourself this, what if Rittenhouse didn’t have a firearm and he was still attacked by Rosenbaum? Let’s assume he did everything the same, the only difference being a lack of a firearm. What would you be saying then? Probably that he should have had something to defend himself with when going into a riot environment.
