Significant differences?  What are the similarities?  Just looking at the preliminary reports and this incident doesn't appear to bear any similarities to the Rittenhouse case at all.[/quote]

You don't see any similarities? How about:

1) Both Rittenhouse and this guy had verbal altercations and displayed weapons;
2) Both Rittenhouse and this guy felt threatened by the person with whom they had an altercation;
3) Both Rittenhouse and this guy shot in self defense.

[b]Of course there is one difference. This guy promptly called police and waited for them to arrive while Rittenhouse ran home to Illinois.[/b]

Rittenhouse tried to turn himself into police at the scene.  When that wasn't possible, he went to his home to turn himself in.  
Let's not let facts get in the way here.

[quote]Rittenhouse testified that after he shot Grosskreutz he approached a line of police vehicles with his hands up.

“People were screaming and I’m just trying to get to the police,” he said. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I defended myself.”

He walked up to a squad car and told an officer he had just shot somebody. “The officer said ‘get the (expletive) back or you’re going to be pepper sprayed’ and ‘go home, go home, go home,’” he said.

He turned himself in at the Antioch Police Department about an hour later because the Kenosha station was barricaded, he said. He said officers made him sit on a chair and wait for Kenosha detectives to arrive.[/quote]
