1) Grosskruetz could have shot Rittenhouse and he would have gotten off on self defense in the exact same way the Rittenhouse is likely to.
2) Rittenhouse could have hit an innocent bystander with any of those shots he took and could have gotten charged and convicted for reckless homicide
There are a million different possible outcomes that could have happened that night. Rittenhouse is extremely lucky to have escaped with his life and didnt wound or kill any innocent bystanders. He is extremely lucky.
The lesson here is two fold: guns will only destabilize a situation and make it more dangerous. Secondly, the police are the best equipped to handle these situations. We don't need everyday citizens arming themselves and getting in the way of police.
