He was ambushed. He was chased. He was shot at.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That “self-defense” angle may have backing ...
“That “self-defense” angle may have backing/”
There are a lot of problems with the situation. Rittenhouse’s home is a little over 20 miles from the incident, so he had to make a concerted effort to go there. In Wisconsin, no one under 18 is allowed to purchase or bear a non concealed gun. Rittenhouse was seventeen and the person that bought the weapon for him should be arrested also as an accessory.
The video the defense is producing Joseph Rosenbaum seen chasing Rittenhouse across the pavement as a shot rings out in the background. Rittenhouse then turns, and as Rosenbaum moves quickly toward him, fires four times. There is nothing to indicate Rosenbaum was armed so the shots “in the background” did not come from him.
So, if you add this up, you have an illegally carrying kid, saying earlier he was a medic, which he isn’t, traveling over 20 miles to enter an area that is having criminal action, to be a self acting vigilante, shot two to death, at least one unarmed, and wounding a third. He shouldn’t have been there, he shouldn’t have been packing, and he shouldn’t have shot an unarmed man. This is why they don’t let underaged kids own or bear arms.
