It's been worrying to hear people involved in protests talk about how Grosskreutz's mistake was not shooting Rittenhouse.
Grosskreutz testified he drew on Rittenhouse and decided he wasn't a threat.
Too many people in protest spaces concluding that was the mistake.
Once guns are out, someone else with a gun is going to perceive you as a threat.
Rittenhouse just saw a guy with a gun on him, not someone who had decided not to shoot him.
If Grosskreutz had just shot him, he would have had the plausible self defense claim since Rittenhouse had just shot two people and was walking around with a gun.
Since protesters expect more people "inspired" by Rittenhouse since he is being proclaimed a hero, the advice going around on some channels is that it will be better to shoot first.
Hopefully these hotheads get talked down, or the next round of protests is going to get much worse with shooters on all sides.
