No.

Rittenhouse goes to work in Kenosha as a lifeguard. He was working there that day, cleaned graffiti off a school and after work a friend asked him and a couple of friends to defend his last unburned business.

He went into the riot area with medical gear, and was acting as a first aider (this can be seen on videos).

He put out a fire the rioters were trying to set, and that really pissed them off. Later on they recognised him after he got separated from his group and attacked him, leading to him shooting one of them in self defence after which he sprinted off to find the police (visible on video).

The idiot felons trying to beat him up/kill him then bring him down from behind as part of a mob and got shot.

Absolutely a case of self defence on Rittenhouses part.

Attack? Oh you mean getting into verbal altercation. If he didn't have a gun nothing would have happened. Now some 17 year old larper, got a dose of adrenaline and killed bunch of people, cause he can't think straight. Not a self defense, when he is the one escalating, that's why he is in a cell right now.

Let's believe the felon armed with a gun when he says that was all that happened.

No need to believe. We have video footage of it.
