  1. Did he have a reasonable belief that he was defending himself or others from an active shooter? If one of those shot by Rittenhouse had instead shot Rittenhouse, believing they just saved the crowd from an active shooter, would they have been able to claim self-defense? We don't know that Rittenhouse was right in believing the people he shot were a threat to his life. At most we can be persuaded Rittenhouse had a very reasonable belief his life was in danger, and that he was justified in using deadly force. The same goes for his victims. You have to ask the same question, not a different one.
