It's amazing how often on BlueSky a polite fact check, with a mainstream source to back it up, results in an immediate block. Blocking objective facts is sad.
This is 71-year-old Robert Cobb. He tried to stop rioters from burning down his friend's mattress business and the Danish Hall. He wasn't armed. A rioter broke his jaw & knocked him unconscious. This was on the 24th, night 2 of the riots, before any of the people with long guns showed up on night 3.

In the case of Rosenbaum, we can only speculate. Rosenbaum was clearly angry at those who tried to interfere with lighting fires, committing vandalism & making threats. Earlier in the evening he'd confronted men with long guns, upset that his dumpster fire had been extinguished.

The "flimsy 'self-defense' argument" was testimony from multiple witnesses that Rosenbaum threatened to kill him if he found him alone, found him alone, chased him while his buddy Ziminski fired a gun, cornered him, & grabbed for his gun (to presumably carry out the earlier death threat).

Joseph Rosenbaum was no protestor. He was a suicidal career criminal who wandered into a riot when his girlfriend wouldn't let him stay at her place (due to a court order) after he'd been released from a mental hospital in Milwaukee. According to all the witnesses he was an agent of chaos all night.

If you watched both cases (I did too), and you understand the law, then you should realize that Rittenhouse was clearly not guilty and that OJ clearly was guilty.
An OJ juror even admitted it was jury nullification for Rodney King.

There is no age limit for being there, or for defending yourself. The court ruled his possession of that particular gun (a long gun) to be legal. Every witness who testified about it, including one of the people he shot, said he avoided confrontation all night.

It was his uncontested testimony at the trial. The prosecutor even knew how many hours he'd worked that day & when he got off work.

Correct, Rittenhouse wasn't protesting or counter protesting. His stated reason for being there was to protect Car Source & provide 1st aid. There are hours of video of him standing at Car Source and at least one video of him providing 1st aid to a protestor with an injured ankle at Car Source.
