Rittenhouse was a classic example of justified self-defense. He used the minimal amount of force necessary at the last possible moment, all the while retreating and trying to peacefully disengage from his attackers. In my experience people who argue it was unjustified usually are lacking some key facts (most of which were available the night of the riot).
