He didn't have the right? Or he had the right but did not exercise it?

Michie said:

You think there might be a reason for that? Until his time He disappeared into crowds, etc. He was on a mission.

Yes, there was a reason for that. But when Peter tried to defend Him, Jesus rebuked him.

Do you think that applies as well to those who take up the scalpel to kill in abortion? Or those who resort to poisons to kill in abortion? Why do you seem to be so against someone who acts in self defense when these small human beings can't even defend themselves from being snuffed?

Michie said:

You can’t teach here. We have the right to self defense. That’s a teaching of the Church. Rittenhouse defended himself.

Exactly. Some wold be very happy if Rittenhouse, a 17 year old, was murdered that night.

Such is the nature of sinful mankind. Killing is killing in the womb or out of the womb in "self defense".
