First, he has been charged with murder, but sure "legally liable". And yes, you absolutely defend every single one of these people, police and their actions on a regular basis and then get incredibly offended when people imply that it's racist.
I am not defending him. At all. You can read what I wrote in the past few days.
Let me clarify, one does not need to use racist terms. When an unarmed black person is shot in the back, shot in their own home while in bed, or something similar, and the default position is to question the victim without ever speaking out against the people who are armed and killing them, it's systemic racism.
When a white person takes a gun into a group of BLM protesters and the first instinct is to defend that person instead of asking about the people who were murdered, it's systemic racism.
We see it on Fox News and right wing outlets on a regular basis, what did that black person do to deserve it? Dig up an old photo of them with a joint, look at their arrest record, etc., anything to bring them down and mitigate the actual murder.
It's clear that this is why people are marching, and why they're angry. We're fed up with the right wing fascist view of iron fisted law & order.
Jesus fucking Christ, will you stop it? I am not defending anyone. I am pointing out that your statement "
person runs into a crowd with an assault weapon and kills two protesters" is utterly, proven false and what I am saying is true:
In the course of investigating this incident, law enforcement reviewed and shared with your complainant multiple videos that appeared to be recorded on cell phones. Inthe first video, a male who was later identified to be Kyle H. Rittenhouse, DOB: 01/03/03 (hereinafter “ the defendant ) , i
s running southwest across the eastern portion of the Car Source parking lot. The defendant is a resident of Antioch, IL. The defendant can clearly be seen holding a long gun, which was later recovered by law enforcement and identified as a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle. The recovered magazine for this rifle holds 30 rounds of ammunition. F
ollowing the defendant is Rosenbaum and trailing behind the defendant and Rosenbaum is a male who was later identified as Richard McGinnis, a reporter .
The video shows that as they cross the parking lot,
Rosenbaum appears to throw an object at the defendant . The object does not hit the defendant and a second video shows, based on where the object landed, that it was a plastic bag. Rosenbaum appears to be unarmed for the duration of this video. A review of the second video shows that the defendant and Rosenbaum continue to move across the parking lot and approach the front of a black car parked in the lot.
A loud bang is heard on the video, then a male shouts, “Fuck you! , then Rosenbaum appears to continue to approach the defendant and gets in near proximity to the defendant when 4 more loud bangs are heard. Rosenbaum then falls to the ground.
The third video that your complainant reviewed
shows the defendant running northbound on Sheridan Road after he had shot Rosenbaum. The street and the sidewalk are full of people.
A group of several people begin running northbound on Sheridan Road behind the defendant .
A person can be heard yelling what sounds like, Beat him up! person can be heard yelling what sounds like, Hey, he shot him !” Your complainant reviewed a fourth video that showed a different angle of the defendant running northbound
. In this video a person can be heard yelling, Get him! Get that dude ! Then a male in a light-colored top runs towards the defendant and appears to swing at the defendant his right arm. This swing makes contact with the defendant , knocking his hat off. The defendant continues to run northbound. On the video a male can be heard saying something to the effect of, he do ? " Another male can be heard responding something to the effect of, “ Just shot someone .” Then a male can be heard yelling, “ Get his ass! The defendant then trips and falls to the ground.
As
the defendant is on the ground, an unidentified male wearing a dark-colored top and light colored pants jumps at and over the defendant. Based on the sounds of gunshots on the video and the positioning of the defendant's gun, it appears that he fires two shots in quick succession at this person. It appears that that person was not hit as he then runs away from the defendant. A
second person who was later identified as Anthony Huber approaches the defendant who is still on the ground, on his back. Huber has a skateboard in his right hand.
When Huber reaches the defendant it appears that he is reaching for the defendant's gun with his left hand as the skateboard makes contact with the defendant's left shoulder .
Huber appears to be trying to pull the gun away from the defendant . The defendant rolls towards his left side and as Huber appears to be trying to grab the gun the gun is pointed at Huber's body. The defendant then fires one round which can be heard on the video. Huber staggers away, taking several steps, then collapses to the ground . Huber subsequently died from this gunshot wound.
After shooting Huber, the defendant moves to a seated position and points his gun at a third male, later identified as Gaige Grosskreutz, who had begun to approach the defendant . When the defendant shot Huber, Grosskreutz freezes and ducks and takes a step back. Grosskreutz puts his hands in the air. Grosskreutz then moves towards the defendant who aims his gun at Grosskreutz and shoots him, firing 1 shot.
Grosskreutz was shot in the right arm. Grosskreutz appears to be holding a handgun in his right hand when he was shot. Grosskreutz then runs southbound away from the defendant screaming for a medic and the defendant gets up and starts walking northbound. The defendant turns around facing southbound while walking backwards northbound with his firearm in a ready position, pointed towards the people in the roadway.
NOW, for the last time, will you get off my back as what I stated matches the State's criminal complaint?
