As this is a sensitive topic, and I've been forced to remove the footage from Reddit, please put useful updates below. I'll try to compile what I can.

This looks like it may have been BLM on BLM barbarity. Tl;dr - the car lot being protected by armed people is apparently owned by a BLM lowlife. BLM started smashing up cars and they started fighting amongst each other. BLM twitter ofcourse immediately claimed it was caused by "white supremacists".

Tim Pool's morning commentary & analysis:
Reuters reports that the shooter is identified as 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse, who has been charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide by the state of Illinois.
Tim Pool points out that the shooter was arrested as a fugitive. He may not have been arrested by police that night.
Timeline & Map of events:
Don't know if the above links contain these photos https://imgur.com/a/ewE87IQ
They show the skateboard guy hitting the shooter when he was on the ground, then getting shot in the chest. After this, it also very clearly shows the steps between the 'medic' pretending to raise his hands then stepping in and drawing his pistol (almost certainly to kill the guy the ground) before getting his bicep blown off (no gore visible).
The initial incident is still unclear (apart from the fact that the first victim was clearly aggressive and looking for trouble) but there's no question that the second and third shootings were 100% justified. Still have plenty of leftists trying to identify him. A name is already out there but who knows if it's accurate at this stage (might just end up getting someone's family targeted).
Surprisingly the thread on r/News is full of based comments supporting his right to defend himself and criticising the attackers. This incident might finally wake people up to the fact that this is the inevitable conclusion of roving mobs attacking people in the streets and burning down their livelihoods. The idea of defunding the police is now clearly a question of "Do you really want more of this Wild West shit, but next time maybe in your neigbourhood?"
EDIT: Just to add, the Daily Caller team were right where it happened and interviewed the shooter just before things went down. https://twitter.com/RichieMcGinniss/status/1298657958205820928
The state of Illinois is charging him with 1st Degree Intentional Homicide, so those redditors better think twice about whether or not the government thinks that they have the right to not be murdered by an armed lynch mob.
So glad I left that hellhole of a state
I never really thought of Illinois as a leftist hive. I figured it was basically just Chicago.
Chicago is the worst of it, but it does leak into other metropolitan areas. Mostly I think it's just the shitty mob politics of yesteryear infest most of the state (taxes, regulations, corruption, etc) especially once you get to the bigger towns.
