Rioters are bad guys, and that makes Rittenhouse the good guy.The judge cannot refer to those killed was victims because that is what the jury must decide. If the jury accepts the self defence claim then Rosenbaum, etc. were not victims but rather assailants. So if the judge declares them victims that would be bias.
