Title: Video Analysis Proves Kyle Rittenhouse Did Not Shoot First

New video analysis of the incident in Kenosha during which two people were shot dead proves that Kyle Rittenhouse did not shoot first and acted in self-defense.

Rittenhouse shot three rioters during the confrontation, killing two, one of whom was a convicted pedophile and on the Wisconsin sex offenders registry.

Video footage and images from the incident show how Rittenhouse was being pursued and physically attacked before firing any shots.

One of the individuals he shot was carrying a handgun, while another tried to hit him over the head with a skateboard and another aimed a kick at his head as he lay on the ground.

Now new analysis of footage that preceded Rittenhouse discharging his AR-15 by New York Times Visual Investigations journalist Christiaan Triebert shows that the 17-year-old did not shoot first.

“At 23:19, Rittenhouse is seen in this YouTube livestream. He’s being chased into a parking lot. While he is being pursued, an unknown gunman fires the first shot into the air,” tweeted Triebert.

The muzzle flash of the first shot can also be seen in the video from a different angle.

Rittenhouse has been charged with 1st degree murder, presumably to satiate the Black Lives Matter mob, but all the evidence clearly shows he acted in self-defense.

One wonders if the media will acknowledge that there were at least two gunmen involved in the confrontation and that the one pursuing Rittenhouse fired his weapon first.

Don’t hold your breath.

Rittenhouse shot three rioters during the confrontation, killing two

I have my doubts the guy shot in the head was struck by fire from an AR-15 at close range. When the guy who took off his shirt was asked to apply pressure to control the bleeding, he asked where the down guy was wounded, and was told in the head. It seems like the bullet entered and did not exit. An AR-15 would have exited and likely left a large hole behind.

The down guy may have been a victim of off-target "friendly" handgun fire. Maybe they will retrieve a bullet out of his head.

I agree. But when I first saw the video, for some reason I thought the head wound looked like a glancing blow. Not a lot of blood and he was responsive.

The shooter fired what sounded like four shots. Perhaps he was also hit elsewhere?

I really could not see enough in a blurred image to determine what or where the head wound was. I did not observe much blood, making multiple wounds less likely. A glancing blow was less likely to cause quick death. What struck me was the audio when the shirt guy looked at the down body and had to ask where the wound was. It was not immediately obvious and there was no big puddle. A less forceful bullet could have entered and left a small entry hole, and then ricocheted around inside until all kinetic energy was expended, putting the brain through a blender. In that case, he could have bled to death internally with the blood just pooling inside.

I just did not see enough to justify the news accounts that Rittenhouse shot the guy in the head and it has been nagging at me.

Well done! Doctor says he was hit with a glancing blow to the head, and had wounds to the groin, the back, the left hand, and the lateral left thigh.

In updated charges, Rittenhouse was charged with possession of a dangerous weapon by someone under the age of 18.

I believe the unlawful misdemeanor possession charge is not just piling on, but to be used to attack an expected claim of self-defense.

[Guardian] Prosecutors release charges against alleged Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse

[CBS] Criminal Complaint Against Kyle Rittenhouse Details Prosecutors’ Version Of Events In Kenosha Shooting That Killed 2, Wounded 1

By Adam Harrington, CBS 2 web producer
By CBS 2 Chicago Staff
August 27, 2020 at 7:57 pm

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Rittenhouse faces now faces six charges:

  • first degree intentional homicide in the death of Anthony Huber (chest shot)

  • first-degree reckless homicide in the death of Joseph Rosenbaum (head shot)

  • attempted first-degree intentional homicide re Gaige Grosskreutz (arm shot)

  • two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment

  • possession of dangerous weapon by someone under the age of 18

[Guardian] "Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system."

[Guardian] "Under Wisconsin law, Rittenhouse, who is 17, was too young to legally posses the rifle he was alleged to have been carrying at the protests."

[Kenosha News] "The complaint states that McGinnis stated that Rosenbaum was attempting to grab the barrel of the gun when he was shot."

[Kenosha News] “As the defendant is running away he can be heard saying on the phone (on video) ‘I just killed somebody,” the complaint states.

[Kenosha News] "Authorities allege Rittenhouse used a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle...."

[CBS] "McGinnis said he did not hear Rosenbaum and Rittenhouse exchange any words, and said Rosenbaum was trying to get Rittenhouse’s gun, prosecutors said."

[CBS] "Dr. P. Douglas Kelley of the Milwaukee Medical Examiner’s office determined that Rosenbaum suffered one gunshot to the groin that fractured his pelvis, another to the back which perforated his right lung and liver, another to the left hand, a superficial gunshot wound to his lateral left thigh, and a graze wound to the right side his forehead."

...it has been nagging at me

Anomalies...

Head wound Harry...has legs crossed in the comfort position, his wound is shown through a nifty round hole much larger than the wound itself, and even though there is no blood whatsoever, a girl decides to stop the bleeding with a nasty piece of fabric.

The shoot out...Kyle's AR is way too quite (compare to sounds made at the beginning of the video). AR's are extremely loud. And I see no muzzle flashes. None. Skateboard dude doesn't even get shot but stumbles off and falls down. White pants guy takes a round, starts hobbling, then runs off without the limp. Pistol guy gets hit by a weird air blast with no wound immediately visible. He never drops his pistol. His arm wound, later cameo'd for the camera, would have bled him out in mere seconds. Such wounds are available online...store.techlinetech http://nologiesinc.com/

Then Kyle runs toward the cops! Half the time his hands are on the AR! (Never run toward cops while carrying a gun!) I was expecting him to get shot to hell but no, the cops wave him on through (as they approach an active shooting...say what).

Analysis: faker than the George Floyd/Geo Flood (Days of Noah) mess in Minneapolis.

Just my opinion, based on what I observe in the video, made by the silent, unflinching videographer, who showed no fear of a crazed white supremist shooting people with an evil white supremist AR just 20 feet away.

Nah. The prosecution's got nuthin'. The unlawful misdemeanor possession was tacked on because that's the only charge that will eventually stick.

Remember Bernhard Goetz, the 1984 New York subway vigilante? He was charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and several firearms offenses? He was only found guilty of one count of carrying an unlicensed firearm.

Such wounds are available online.

So he knew ahead of time that a shot was going to go off near his arm and pre-purchased a fake arm wound which he applied while running away being recorded.

Does that fake wound also remove muscle tissue?

The wound looks pretty convincing, however, so do the wounds you find for sale on the internet.

Having fake wounds on hand for a hoax would be expected.

Several things don't look right:

When Pistol Guy takes the round, there is no blood spray, nor do I see a wound open up at the time of impact.

He holds on to his pistol even though shot thru the muscles, nerves, and the major artery in the arm. Where doctors take vital signs there is are a huge, powerful, and loud artery. If you've ever take vitals you'd know what I'm referring to. Look at that picture. You trying to tell me that the bullet missed the artery? I watched my classmate bleed to death from a wound much less severe than the one pictured.

There's a big chunk of video missing between Kyle's contact with police and the scene with Pistol Guy and his wound.

When we see Pistol Guy again he's returned to the middle of the street and sitting down with a tourniquet. Instinct would tell a wounded man to find safety, a place away from the shooting. Then, without even examining the victim, the police just stand him up and walk him away. Why? Considering there was a dead guy just a few feet away who might still be alive and needing assistance. Secure the crime scene? Nah.

And we still haven't resolved the total lack of report from the AR, or the absence of muzzle flash.

I will say this: if the shooting is legit then Kyle did an outstanding job of defending himself. Not to mention granting an interview with the media just before the shooting and a nice photo bomb with Trump in 2016.

I heard all the shots on the video.

As for the absence of muzzle flash, his AR did have a flash suppressor. Plus, that looks like a 20" barrel. The M193 cartridge was designed to burn all the powder in 20". Meaning there should be no flash.

Where's the blood?

It just so happens that I cut my knee with a chainsaw last week, but it didn't look anywhere close to that wound. There was, however, blood.

His right arm would be fully coated with blood, as well as his left hand, as he tried to hold the wounded arm. Yet, his left hand is spotless. His entire arm and his other hand would be glistening with fresh blood. With the artery blown open he would be dead in moments.

As Elon said, "You know it's real because it looks so fake".

We can agree to disagree on that one. The misdemeanor will be used to say that all his acts with the firearm were incident to his committing a crime. He transported the firearm across state lines for the very purpose of using it unlawfully.

While there is a presumption "that the actor reasonably believed that the force was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself if the actor makes such a claim," the "presumption ... does not apply if ... [t]he actor was engaged in a criminal activity.... [WI 939.48]

If the court is just looking for an excuse, they can use this:

(2) Provocation affects the privilege of self-defense as follows:

(a) A person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack him or her and thereby does provoke an attack is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense against such attack, except when the attack which ensues is of a type causing the person engaging in the unlawful conduct to reasonably believe that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. In such a case, the person engaging in the unlawful conduct is privileged to act in self-defense, but the person is not privileged to resort to the use of force intended or likely to cause death to the person's assailant unless the person reasonably believes he or she has exhausted every other reasonable means to escape from or otherwise avoid death or great bodily harm at the hands of his or her assailant.

(b) The privilege lost by provocation may be regained if the actor in good faith withdraws from the fight and gives adequate notice thereof to his or her assailant.

(c) A person who provokes an attack, whether by lawful or unlawful conduct, with intent to use such an attack as an excuse to cause death or great bodily harm to his or her assailant is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense.

When the government is out to get your ass, they do not play fair. If he fired off four or five shots at the first victim, he will encounter a line of questions to the effect, after the first shot, did you still feel in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm? Wash, rinse, repeat for subsequent shots. One shot in the back. When his back was turned to you, did you feel in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm? He has to justify each and every shot to keep a claim of self-defense.

A claim of self-defense is just about the only possible defense. It will be undermined in any way possible. The system abhors a vigilante, even one who takes out the trash. It calls attention to the fact that they were not doing their job.

As for Goetz, a mean-spirited prosecutor can easily distinguish that Goetz did not provoke an attack by his own illegal act. And then there is that $43 million civil judgment. The Rittenhouse family will be dragged through civil court.

Like running away? Twice?

"The misdemeanor will be used to say that all his acts with the firearm were incident to his committing a crime."

He was armed as were many others. His only "crime" was being 17 instead of 18.

You can't be saying that others found out he was 17, concluded he was was committing a crime by carrying an AR-15, were therefore provoked, and thus justified in attacking him?

From Lin Wood’s tweet ...

When you start manufacturing facts to support false accusations, you get into trouble under the law of defamation. Kyle did not carry a gun across state lines. The gun belonged to his friend, a Wisconsin resident. The gun never left the State of Wisconsin.

Truth always prevails.

I'm on the fence.

The head wound looks suspicious. The arm wound looks very real, but to miss that artery...virtually impossible.

Misterwhite is correct about the flash suppression, but the gunshots from the AR sound completely bogus to me, especially the first shot he made on white pants guy.

Paul wrote: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good".

Something that Christians seldom do: examine everything carefully, look deeply into it, turn it over and study it from all sides...which does require a healthy dose of skepticism.

Otherts did not have to know he was underage. They knew he was open carrying an AR-15, and of all the people around, they chose him to attack. A prosecutor can argue it. There is nothing there that says the attack must be justified; just than one's unlawful conduct provoked it.

How was Rittenhouse going to defend the business if the radicals just decided to go past him? What did he plan to do with the AR-15 he illegally possessed?

Being in unlawful possession causes Rittenhouse legal headaches. I would not propose any other underage kids follow his example. They could wind up being where Rittenhouse is.

His crime is not being 17, it is unlawful transportation of a firearm across state lines, and unlawful possession of a firearm, and allegedly five felonies in discharging the firearm. As far as is known, a third party discharged a firearm and Rittenhouse stopped, turned, and trained his fiream on Joseph Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum was unarmed. This is the shooting Rittenhouse has to defend, and he has to defend the firing of multiple shots, and defend each shot.

Man Shot in the Arm by Kyle Rittenhouse Says His Only Regret Was “Not Killing the Kid”

The Black Lives Matter protester in Kenosha who was shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse says that his only regret was “not killing the kid,” a statement that will do wonders to help Rittenhouse’s self-defense argument.

Gaige Grosskreutz, who was caught on camera pointing a gun at Rittenhouse before the teenager show him in the arm, made the comments after doctors were able to save the limb from being amputated.

According to his friend Jacob Marshall, who is pictured with Grosskreutz, the BLM supporter’s “only regret was not killing the kid and hesitating to pull the gun before emptying the entire mag into him.”

In the Facebook post, Marshall also admits that Grosskreutz “drew his weapon” before he was shot by Rittenhouse.

“Well this literally shows INTENT TO KILL, so Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense lawyer just got an early Christmas present,” tweeted Mike Cernovich.

Rittenhouse has excellent legal representation now that Lin Wood has agreed with Rittenhouse’s family to represent the 17-year-old.

Wood is famous for representing Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandman, forcing CNN to settle for $275 million dollars after the network defamed Sandman over his confrontation with Native American activist Nathan Phillips in January 2019.

That's my point. As far as they knew he was legally carrying. Meaning he was not engaged in illegal behavior which provoked them.

I don't see how the prosecution could use the fact that he was illegally carrying as nullifying the self-defense argument.

Rosenbaum was unarmed.

This Class 3 sexual predator with a history of violence was "unarmed" when he was shot only because he threw a heavy object in a plastic bag at Kyle Rittenhouse and missed.

If you look at the video, Rosenbaum had a group of 10-15 people running with him. So there's that.

is crime is not being 17, it is unlawful transportation of a firearm across state lines,

"Kyle Rittenhouse was working as a community lifeguard in Kenosha on the day of the shooting, went to clean graffiti off a public high school near the Kenosha County Courthouse after work and did not carry a gun across state lines, according to a statement from his legal defense team released on Friday evening."

He continued: "Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence. The business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life's work, including two nearby mechanic's shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines."

What's interesting with this charge is the state is prosecuting Rittenhouse as an adult for something he did as a minor. Sounds like a potential legal flaw. A potential violation of the 14th Amendment on the basis of age discrimination, aka, a violation of the equal protection clause.

Perhaps he should more properly be tried in juvenile court for gun possession as a minor and separately as an adult for the shootings.

The shoot out...Kyle's AR is way too quite (compare to sounds made at the beginning of the video). AR's are extremely loud

Audio recording devices may very well not record loud and softer sounds in the same way we'd hear them in person.

That wound looks horrendous, but would surprise me if done by an AR-15, as they normally use the .223 round, which is relatively small caliber bullet. The .223 round is high velocity, however, as the brass is shaped for that, and of course the AR-15 is a long gun. Handgun rounds are lower velocity but higher caliber, both of which are more likely to create a bad wound. I think that wound, assuming it's not fake, looks much more consistent with that kind of round.

He transported the firearm across state lines for the very purpose of using it unlawfully.

Lawyers reportedly contested this claim saying Rittenhouse did not xfer the weapon over state lines. There was no further elaboration, meaning the state will need to prove any criminal claim they make related to how Rittenhouse came to possess the weapon in Kenosha that night, including who may have provided it to him, if anyone. Just because someone may have committed a crime of providing a minor with the weapon doesn't mean the state can prove who that someone is.

If the case goes to trial, there will be the issue of the state convincing all 12 jurists to find Rittenhouse guilty of doing something as a minor (defending his own life) that would be legal as an adult. Sure there is the technical argument that the state will insist proves criminal actions by Rittenhouse, but .... jury nullification may well be the biggest problem the state will face on this highly publicized and highly emotional event.

If ever there was the potential for jury nullification, it will be with this case. Maybe there won't be an acquittal, but I thank there is very widespread and very strong public anger over this rioting that will spill into the jury pool that will work in Rittenhouse's favor.

A hung jury will be a win for Rittenhouse.

The shots fired at the auto service were recorded accurately, while the shots made on the street were greatly reduced.

Different cameras?

We aren't told.

The shot made on white pants is unlike any .223 I've ever heard. (I live in an rural area where guns are going off all the time. All calibers.) All the shots on the street are missing the distinctive .223 supersonic crack. And yes I know the difference. I have always been irritated by the .223, as opposed to other rounds.

That wound looks horrendous

Grosskreutz's arm wound IS horrendous. A surgeon in the family, who has worked on war wounds and gunshots extensively, thought the arm would need to be amputated.

So, then:

Why doesn't the horrible AR arm wound match any wound on "headwound harry" at the auto service?

Why doesn't the arm wound damage correspond to the repair shown after the doctor sowed it up? Where did that skin flap come from? Did they just cover over the extensive tissue damage?

And most of all, why weren't the victims taken IMMEDIATELY to the Kenosha Medical Emergency Room, located less than a hundred yards from the auto service where headwound harry was shot? (Eventually the crowd would carry headwound across the street, but not directly to the ER. He was simply dumped in a car trunk and driven away! Poor Grosskreutz was made to sit in the street until cops arrived.

The auto service is located near 63rd and Sheridan Road. The street view shows the auto service, and Kenosha Medical Center Emergency Room entrance is directly across the street.

What's interesting with this charge is the state is prosecuting Rittenhouse as an adult for something he did as a minor. Sounds like a potential legal flaw. A potential violation of the 14th Amendment on the basis of age discrimination, aka, a violation of the equal protection clause.

It's up to the state and it is done all the time. It's not a federal issue.

Yes, it is claimed that he obtained use of the weapon in Wisconsin. The person who provided the weapon committed a felony. The odds that they can't track down the owner lies between slim and none.

Wrong. Mistatement of fact. What Rittenhouse did as a juvenile that was unlawful was to possess a dangerous firearm.

You are expecting jury nullification in a location that permits rioting to occur and orders the police to stand down. I am all for Rittenhouse getting off, but I do not see it as approaching a sure thing. The only defense is self-defense, and there are some hurdles to overcome.

A hung jury could also mean a retrial. A win which results in family bankruptcy is difficult to view as a win by the winner(s). Also, there are almost certain civil suits. Under the most stressful conditions imaginable, I think Rittenhouse showed great restraint. Nevertheless, he and his family face difficult times ahead. As he is a juvenile, civil suits would go against whatever is owned by the family.

Just sayin' that you can remove "unlawful transportation of a firearm across state lines" from your list of charges.
