I agree with you - he was in a "militia." As I said in another article, participating in a militia is not a legally protected activity. That's the charge he should have been tried for, and it's why Rosenbaum did not "attack" him. Rosenbaum defended himself from a deranged, armed, self-appointed cop. In the battle of the R's and R's, Rosenbaum was less wrong than Rittenhouse, except in the eyes of the disingenuous and deranged.
