See, this is the problem with the left. They just can't compartmentalize things away from their emotions.
This article slamming the decision is a perfect example.

It basically has 3 premises:
1. "You cannot claim self-defense against a danger that you create." This is the exact same type of victim blaming we are trying to move past in things like rape and other crimes. No, it is not a woman's fault for being raped because she dressed provocatively and was out at 3 am. It is an extremely stupid thing to do, but she is not at fault. So no, it is not this kid's fault that he was attacked while doing something stupid, and legal. Being stupid doesn't justify being attacked, so this double standard folks only apply when convenient to their point of view is illogical.
2. "He was, in fact, the only person that night who killed anyone." Another pointless "point'. He was probably also the only one who had someone try to wrestle a firearm from their grasp after being told bythat person he was going to kill him if found alone. Being the N = 1 person does not prove anything other than only 1 person encountered a scenario.
3. "Rittenhouse's ability, as a white man, to walk the streets armed with military-style weapons and live to see trial is exactly the racial injustice that people were protesting that fateful night in Kenosha." Now this is true, and a black man would almost certainly be dead right now had he done the same thing, but completely off topic from the point of the trial. This kid should not have been found guilty to prove some point about racial inequality. The fix is to stop killing minorities, not to make an example out of a stupid white kid.
