Basic Question: Why was this little ****ing Nazi from OUT OF TOWN in Kenisha, in the first place?
Why was he there, armed?
Does that not go to intent?

Kenosha police were not even trying to do their duty, were not protecting citizens and property.

The business to which R had gone had publicly begged private citizens to help protect their business.

Rittenhouse was not wandering about a strange city alone, he was part of an ad hoc group working with that business owner.

Rittenhouse's hometown was just a mile from the WI border, and, by highway, some 20 miles from Kenosha (I've have longer one-way commutes!).

Rittenhouse was carrying a packed first aid kit and offered first aid to people he encountered, rioter or innocent person.
Does that not prove intent? Why would a thug-wannabe intent on shooting someone burden himself as Rittenhouse did?

Rittenhouse was carrying a fire extinguisher borrowed, with permission, from the car dealer and using it to put out fires started by the rioters.

ETA: 
Rittenhouse works in Kenosha
(unlike Stinker, I bothered to spell the town name correctly!), his father lives there, and he has family in Kenosha.
