As other have noted, this article omits a number of relevant facts to spark a narrative:
> Wisconsin, faced intense scrutiny over their response to armed white men and militia groups gathered in the city amid demonstrations by Black Lives Matter activists and others over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black father of three who was left paralyzed after being shot in the back.
Video confirms Jacob Blake was ignoring the instructions of the police and moved to his vehicle (keep in mind that in the US firearm ownership is common).
> On Wednesday, Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old who appeared to consider himself a militia member and had posted “blue lives matter” content, was arrested on suspicion of murder after the fatal shooting of two protesters.
Video and eyewitness testimony confirm this man was being chased by a group of people.
dang: a better link would be to the actual report:

- chillwaves 6y agoIt's not self defense when you initiate conflict. We have people traveling form out of state to start fights, then killing other people in 'self defense'. Do you see a problem here?
- nailer 6y agoIf someone pulls a gun on you and you're kneeling [1], or someone chases you [2], they are the aggressor. As this witness confirms [3] He travelled 20 miles from his home, a very short drive. It's possible the men who attacked him travelled from further away. You stating that this short journey 'crosses state lines' is a tactic similar to the article: omitting relevant facts to push a narrative.
