Kyle Rittenhouse is a political prisoner. Just before midnight on 25 August 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people who attacked him in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in self-defense. Rittenhouse was legally there performing voluntary actions to minimize the damage done by rioters. He was fleeing a mob pursuing him when he was forced to defend himself, shooting three of numerous pursuers at two separate locations. All three of the people shot got within the contact range of Rittenhouse. Two were attempting to disarm him, the third had a semi-automatic pistol in his hand. The first attacker had been aggressive earlier and had challenged a black man to shoot him, saying shoot me n*gga!†more than once. The first attacker was a felon and sex offender who chased Rittenhouse and tried to take his rifle.
After that defensive shooting, Kyle Rittenhouse fled the mob and attempted to turn himself into police custody. There is audio of his intent to do so as he ran from the mob. One of his attackers asked him what he was doing while the attacker was live streaming and running close to Rittenhouse. Kyle Rittenhouse said, “I am going to the policeâ€. Rittenhouse was repeatedly attacked as he ran in an attempt to reach the police.
Rittenhouse tripped and went down on the street, and was attacked in a coordinated manner by multiple assailants.
The second person shot had hit Rittenhouse on the head, neck, and shoulder with a skateboard, a common Antifa tactic. He was trying to take Rittenhouse's rifle when he was shot.
The third attacker was lunging at Rittenhouse with a semi-automatic pistol in his hand, from less than body length, when Rittenhouse shot him in the gun arm, stopping the attack. The actions were all videotaped; there were witnesses; they were clear cases of self-defense.

I watched the videos of this several times, and reviews by Colion Noir (Lawyer) Sounds and looks like self defense.

Yep. At any point had the attackers stopped attacking, they would be unharmed today. Instead they pressed the attack on someone trying to leave.
I must further note that pulling on a rifle pointing at you from the muzzle end is seldom considered to be a good idea.
