Not advocating for his acquittal, but I believe his sobbing. At 17 years old, he had NO prefrontal lobe to speak of, and could not have anticipated the violent and deranged response that waving his toy around would provoke. His acquittal will certainly green-light this behavior by others equally weak of mind (but without his age excuse). Rittenhouse is their hero because he didn't ask for permission, unlike the weaklings who ask "when can we use the guns?". They have been shamed by Rittenhouse and Ashley Babbitt, and they will soon be out in droves, armed and ready to kill. Or not. Maybe they'll still just talk, but keep going to work and try to live normal lives.
