From what I saw Rosenbaum was begging/daring everyone with a gun to shoot him. He was up in a lot of gunslingers faces, they seemed to blow him off.
The history of the victims have no bearing whatsoever with anything.
After all the bullshit, the case boiled down only to what happened during a 2-3 minute time span.
All bets were off on the two with weapons. It was pretty clear that they posed a potential deadly threat.
I'm not totally convinced that Rosenbaum posed a deadly threat. Rosenbaum did not strike Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse was pointing his gun at Rosenbaum before Rosenbaum tried to grab it. Rittenhouse fired two more shots into Rosenbaum after he was disabled.
As I said, I agree with the verdict. The prosecutor did not and could not prove that Rittenhouse was not acting in self defense. But I'm not sure reasonable mature adult would have needed to kill Rosenbaum.
