But we really have no way of knowing how much is really him, and how much is a very good act for the jury's sake.
And this has nothing at all to do with the trial, but even considering the trauma, if he breaks down like that in real life after shooting someone, he doesn't have the right stuff to be an armed vigilante. If you strap a gun on and head into a conflict, you have to be prepared for the potential outcome. He obviously wasn't and shouldn't have been there in the first place, regardless of his good intentions.
I think we all agree that he shouldn't have been there, but I also don't think you know how being attacked and in fear for your life will affect you....until it happens.

And that's why I say he wasn't coached enough - I wanted Kyle to come back at the prosecutor and ask him if he has ever been in an angry mob or had a gun pointed at him. I wanted him to say that just because the other guy didn't have a weapon didn't mean he couldn't kill me with his bare hands.
Either way, I still want to buy Kyle dinner - he is a true patriot in my book!

yeah but although I see your point, what is even more traumatic than the original incident is the media and political backlash. Nobody wants to be called a long list of things they are not nor accused of having some intent you never did. I, personally, wouldn't have predicted the media and political backlash directed at him at all.
And sure, maybe he shouldn't have been there but I think that leads into a pathway of blaming the victim. And besides, perhaps a sex offender delinquent on the register shouldn't have been there either or the domestic abuser on probation.

None of them should have been there. Incident waiting to happen, and it sure did.
But given what we know, I fully agree that Kyle was fully in his rights to fire in self defense. No victim blame from me.
As to the "defense" letting Kyle testify it isn't their call it is Kyle's and Kyle's alone. All the defense can do is prep him by running through the possible prosecution tactics or resign. From what I saw he did a pretty good job given the @sshole he was up against.

Tucker: ‘A Rapist Called Joseph Rosenbaum … Died As He Had Lived, Trying To Touch An Unwilling Minor’
“At this point, there was no remaining doubt that Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self-defense during the riots last summer in Kenosha; every shot Rittenhouse fired was captured on videotape and from multiple angles,” Carlson opined. “Every single witness who testified this week at the trial confirmed exactly what happened. And here are the facts of it: A convicted child rapist called Joseph Rosenbaum was released from a mental hospital and then went directly to join the mob that was burning downtown Kenosha.”
“Once he got to the riot, Rosenbaum saw Kyle Rittenhouse and immediately threatened to kill him,” Carlson claimed. “Rosenbaum then chased Rittenhouse and tried to pull the gun from his hands. When he did that, Kyle Rittenhouse shot him. So, Joseph Rosenbaum died as he had lived, trying to touch an unwilling minor.”

It is the jury to worry over. These people know they will receive threats to themselves & family if they vote the wrong way.

Therefore a mistrial with prejudice is the least of all the evils as to the outcome of this case. The DA can then dump all blame of incompetence on the prosecution team and the witnesses that actually answered the state's questions honestly which (IMO) bolstered the defense.

There is debate as to what song it is. Listening to the little snipit, I'm not so sure it isn't Southern Cross.

I thought only republicans "pounced", according to the media that is.
