I'll tend to agree with those who say their prior history isn't relevant in relation to the current incident... which as an event stands on its own merits. Rittenhouse not guilty...still means others likely must be... Kyle found to be legitimately defending himself means others were illegitimately assaulting him... and there seems quite a bit of desperation in the efforts made to avoid seeing that the origin of the event was not "an accident" ?

That's not saying anyone should find it surprising that a trio with "a troubled past" were found in the context in which the event unfolded, and that they remained "troubled"...

But, Rittenhouse didn't shoot anyone for having porn on their cell phone, or for abusing others...

The problem with the inclination to consider their prior history in current context, only now, is that focusing on their prior history now is being used to deflect from a proper focus on the CURRENT issue... to absolve them of their responsibility for their behavior in the assault they were perpetrating...

And, by shifting focus to their "troubled" history... blaming them now as "victim's of their past"... the effort seeks to deflect focus from the fact their violence was NOT RANDOM but was perpetrated as a part of a coordinated effort... as one part of a much larger coordinated effort...

The snapshot views of the event... seek to take it out of context as an independent vignette that "just happened" as it did... outside of the context in which it did occur...
