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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
