Very good video here.

The wounded loser was holding his gun, after momentarily putting his hands up, and was swinging about to put it to the kid’s head and kill him. The kid’s a bit kooky, but he kept pretty cool under pressure.

One of the video’s I seen showed Kyle getting shot at before he dropped the first guy,

——————

In the video of the first incident the first shot is clearly not from a rifle. Sounded like a pistol round then a pause followed by clearly rifle fire.

I too believe he was fired upon before ever loosing his first round.

Of course it was self defense but the criminal DA charged him anyway. Who is the real criminal? The DA is and that person will never face justice for trying to destroy a young, white man’s life.

Is that like the bag hanging out of Gaige Grosskreutz' shorts?

‘I still don’t think the Pedophile Rosenbaum was hit with a 5.56 round.”

Kyle disagrees

Hopefully he won't be charged with murder but if he is, I hope he is found innocent.

With that being said, this is just the beginning of his legal problems since he's likely to be sued for wrongful death by the families of the guys he shot and any innocent verdict on the murder charge won't factor into the lawsuits...This is going to drag on for years.

I'm sure he's already wishing he had stayed home that night........

The videos are not *emerging*.

They’ve been out since the whole thing happened and it’s clear that it was self-defense.

I saw the video of him dying - that didn’t look like a 5.56.

Listen to the video prior to him getting shot - sounds like a lot of cross fire.

Lin Wood, the lawyer who got those nice settlements for Nick Sandmann, has offered to represent Kyle Rittenhouse for free.

Wood said it was a clear case of self-defense. CNN beware!

It’s probably a good thing that Rittenhouse is being charged with first degree homicide. Much harder to prove intentional murder with forethought to a jury.

When is this white trash POS going to be charged for having a gun out on the street while being a convicted felon?

A plastic bag. That certainly appears to be on fire in the pics and video of it.

Nothing that could hurt anyone of course! /s

There’s going to come a time when our side starts throwing “plastic bags” and I predict it won’t be at car lot cars or random people on the street.

I know I wouldn’t waste my time on low level targets like street soldiers.

IF, the DA takes this to trial, it will be under substantially reduced charges.

Of course the DA would prefer to have a guilty plea to reduced felonious charges, thinking the kid doesn’t have the money for a first rate legal team.

But he has a first rate legal team and will be a rich young man soon.

Second time I heard “threw a plastic bag”. Wasn’t it filled with gasoline and a lit fuse? Who throws an empty plastic bag?

The prosecution is really stretching to find a reason to charge Kyle.

It is impossible to get that sort of trajectory with an empty plastic bag. I have seen other angles, so I do not believe it was a Molotov cocktail. I believe it was a plastic bag with a heavy object in it, to serve as an improvised mace. Notice the front part of the bag is black. Probably a brick or canned goods inside to give it heft.

Good question, I bet never.

He should be cuffed to the gurney he’s in.

Hope that arm is maimed for life - I’m not joking. Eff’ing pile of evil!
