Militia guy kills two. Justified?

[jaeger19]

He was chased before he shot Rosenbaum. He hung around for a little bit after, probably unsure of what to do in that circumstance, before the crowd started forming up and shouting about getting him. That was stupid. He wasn't shooting anyone else. He only shot the guy who chased him and attempted to assault him and take his gun. He didn't shoot into the crowd, he ran from them, probably because he didn't want to get beat to death or have them take his gun and shoot him. What they did after he tripped shows he wasn't wrong. He did run in the direction of the police in both instances, and he told Grosskreutz before the second shooting that he was going to the police. So Grosskreutz knew the following before he heard the crowd say he shot someone, get him:
1) someone was shot
2) Kyle could have been the shooter, but he wasn't currently shooting anyone or acting aggressively
3) Kyle was running in the direction of the police line
4) Kyle told him he was going to the police

He stopped running and walked to the police after the crowd stopped attacking him because they saw he was only shooting people that attacked him.

Umm.. so he was being chased by the crowd.. then he shoots a guy.. then he decides to "hang around a bit"..then apparently the crowd decides to chase again?
Kyle was the shooter.. the crowd saw him shoot Rosenbaum.. whose crime seems to be throwing a plastic bag at Kyle
After shooting someone.. he runs down the street with a semi automatic weapon in his hands.. appearing just like all the other mass shooters are.
No one.. absolutely no one.. is going to "know that Kyle is running to the police". All they see is a fellow that people are yelling has shot someone.. running down the street with a gun in his hands.

Rittenhouse is the one who looks like the threat.. and ultimately.. he WAS the one that was the deadly threat.

I think there's just a disagreement about how the law should be applied in this case. Ultimately it may be up to a jury to decide whether Kyle Rittenhouse, with malice aforethought, intentionally caused Rosenbaum's death, or whether he was reasonable in his belief that his life was in imminent danger when he fired at Rosenbaum. Not because of the bag. The bag is just a single part of the totality of the circumstances, not the single driving justification for why he shot Rosenbaum. It is also possible that the judge will look at the evidence at the preliminary hearing, and decide that no probable cause exists for the charges as filed and dismiss them.
