I call this an injustice because Rittenhouse is almost certainly not a flight risk or an ongoing danger to his community, so incarcerating him before trial violates the principle of innocent unless proven guilty. Also because the case for his innocence on grounds that he allegedly shot those three people in self-defense appears unusually strong.
Yes, Rittenhouse is a gun-totin' Trump supporter, not my favorite kind of person. But considerable video evidence from that evening shows that the shooter, allegedly Rittenhouse, fired only when attackers put him in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm. |

Why haven't they charged the attacker that pointed a gun at Rittenhouse?
It is despicable the way they are treating Rittenhouse. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
