Kid's a dumbass, but he should walk. It's clearly self-defense.
Yes on all three counts
You and @Jolly forgot to mention that he was pretty damn solid, too. Debate all you want about whether he should have been there, but when the shit went down? Solid. I mean, there should be recruiters from the SEALS and Rangers waiting to talk to this kid in hallway.

@george-k I agree with what you say. No opinion (at this point) on self defense/murder, etc
My point was that if he were black, I do not believe that he could have walked past the police carrying a gun, with people telling the police he had shot people, and then he just continued on and returned to his hometown.
The police did not stop him, did not detain him, etc.
Just a random perspective.
So what? You believe? I wonder if they would have stopped a unicorn with a gun? Oh, wait..a unicorn can't carry a weapon. That has as much relevance to this situation.

Agreed, I found a nice summary video of what happened (about 3 minutes long) and was impressed he came out of that alive. I wish I could find it again, if I do I'll post it here. It makes the order of events pretty clear and removes bias (as much as one allows).

TG has a theory that black people are treated worse than white people in America.
It’s about time someone spoke up about this.

How is this trial still going on? How is this in any way not a total joke at this point?

Because of potential riots. Chicago has cancelled police days off this weekend, cops are not happy about it.

You mean the department that is understaffed due to their vaccine mandate?

The prosecutor is playing to leftist pop culture, and probably has political aspirations.
What are the chances that a "diverse" judge, one who wants everybody to know that their perspective is super important and that's what makes them a good judge, would have this same reaction against this flouting of the law by the prosecution?

Rittenhouse is being cross-examined at the moment.
I don't know what the rules are in Wisconsin, but I know a bit about Illinois.
In cross-examination, the questioner is not allowed to ask anything that the original questioner touched upon.
For example, under direct examination imagine the following sequence:
Counsel asks witness under direct examination: "Did you see Mr. Jones steal the purse?"
Under cross, the opposing counsel asks: "Mr. Jones also stole an automobile, is that correct?"
Counsel: "Objection, your honor!"
Judge: "Sustained."

It would shock me if he was convicted of anything but the misdemeanor.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The DA is making a case that there was no imminent threat to Rittenhouse's life when he fired his rifle.
A lot about "what the hell were you doing there anyway?"

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The first shooting was the guy that grabbed his rifle, no?

I believe so.
But, according to the DA, that was not an imminent threat.

It was also the guy that twice threatened to kill him?
