Yep, hopefully we'll have to wonder about his forever because hopefully no black teen will find themselves in this situation. But while I hope the result would be the same (or that better laws would be put in place so that kids don't end up having to kill people in self-defence), it has nothing to do with the Rittenhouse case.

Again, the question of whether a black kid is treated fairly under the law is of central importance. I'm not diminishing that point at all. But it's completely separate to the question of whether white kids should be thrown in jail when they haven't broken the law.
