    In that instance the “protesters” create their own bad luck by putting themselves in a situation where self defense rules apply. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

      Would you be saying that about Rittenhouse if he died due to putting himself in that situation?

        Yes, you’re at a protest that had devolved into rioting and looting, whatever happens now is entitely on you.

          To be clear: He didn’t happen to find himself at a protest. He actively went to a protest that he did not agree with in order to “protect property”. He purposely put himself in that situation.
