      Yes. NRO has an interesting analysis of the story, with video of timeline.

      https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/08/does-kyle-rittenhouse-have-a-self-defense-claim/

      Last paragraphs:

      Rittenhouse is already a hero to some and a supervillain to others; in that sense, he is the Bernie Goetz of 2020. The highest charge against him strikes me as a stretch, but beyond that I don’t have any bold opinions yet. The outcome for each shooting will depend on whether Rittenhouse reasonably feared for his life, which in turn might depend on broader context we lack thus far — and even if all three shootings were justified, there are still firearms and reckless-endangerment charges for him to contend with.

            Only skimmed the article bit it was more about turnout. Easier to imagine them making a difference in turnout than in who to vote for.

                  We had a poster in the early days of WTF (or was it here?) that faked his own death and claimed it was a bit from a brown recluse that did him in.

                    I've frequently thought about faking my own death. I've had a number of offers of help, which I suspect were all too real.

                      Didn't we have someone in the Old Coffee Room that actually did die from a bite he got while gardening? Are we talking about the same person, I vaguely recall my reference being a real thing. I'm sure if you say the name I'll say THATS HIM.

                        He had two first names as I recall. I mean his last name was a typical first name. But I don't remember what the two names are.

                            I can’t prove he was faking it but I’d bet real money on it. For a while I kept checking the SSA death records and he never showed up. Nor were there any stories in California about brown recluse deaths.

                                    Yes, I think that was it. I wonder if he was related to Prince Andrew.

                                          Wasn't he Rick whatshisname's sock? Zimmer or something? Some forumite claimed to know him in real life and I think it was Rick Zimmer.
