Let's see... CBC looking to racialize it and in general the usual anti-self defence as expected.

The verdict in the politically volatile case was met with anger and disappointment from those who saw Rittenhouse as a vigilante and a wannabe cop, and relief and vindication from those who regarded him as a patriot who wanted to stop lawlessness and exercised his Second Amendment right to carry a gun and to defend himself.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, the longtime civil rights leader, said the verdict throws into doubt the safety of people who protest in support of Black Americans.
"It seems to me that it's open season on human rights demonstrators," he said.
Rittenhouse was charged with homicide, attempted homicide and recklessly endangering safety for killing two men — Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber — and wounding a third, Gaige Grosskreutz — with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle in the summer of 2020 during a tumultuous night of protests over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police officer.
Rittenhouse, then 17 years old and a former police youth cadet, said he went to Kenosha to protect property from rioters. He is white, as were those he shot.
The jury, whose racial makeup was not disclosed by the court but appeared to be overwhelmingly white, deliberated for close to three and a half days.
Calls for calm
U.S. President Joe Biden called for calm, saying that while the outcome of the case "will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken."
Seems it IS political, the ones shot do seem to have long criminal records, I wonder if that came up much in the media or trial, I saw one mention of it and found this article but seems more like the criminals are the heroes of some.

The bottom line: Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender who was out on bond for a domestic abuse battery accusation and was caught on video acting aggressively earlier that night. Huber was a felon convicted in a strangulation case who was recently accused of domestic abuse. Grosskreutz was convicted of a crime for use of a firearm while intoxicated and was armed with a handgun when shot. You can read their criminal records in full later in this article.
...
Grosskreutz was moving toward Rittenhouse when shot and holding a handgun, the complaint says.
So an intoxicated criminal had a handgun (illegally according to the article) is shot, a jury says self defence and Biden has an issue with it ... wonder if our ideologue in charge will say anything.
