There are 2 ways to interpret the verdict.

The 1st is if it is consistently applied. In this case, if there’s a shoot-out, whoever wins the shoot-out can always claim self-defense. Even if they’re the only one shooting.

Seems the point of having laws and courts is to avoid this situation, not to create it.

The 2nd is if it is inconsistently applied in favor of far-right shooters.

So Zimmerman and Rittenhouse get a license to kiill, while Reinohl gets gunned down without trial. For the state, the point of laws and courts is to protect itself and its supporters, not to rein them in.
