In, but not before posting in festivity. My last post there, in case it becomes interesting...
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3877417/posts?page=1691#1691
Compare this to the comments in post #62 this thread.
Ok FreeQs, I have spent most of the day reading and editing a very long and excellent document/thesis which has links to loads of video as well as photos of single frame and High rez. The link was found beyond the trees, but unfortunately, I failed to write down the poster and can’t recall the name.
The author is apparently a lawyer with an interest in deadly force/CQB incidents. Author was too wordy sometimes so I edited out sections and inserted dashes-omitted some words such as “the” etc. Some sections had to copied as is. Also edited all the profanity. The author is also editing updates and noting those at the beginning of his long analysis.
I titled the sections and saved to my open office program. I will post each segment to this post #51, so that hitting reply will bring up the entire lengthy data.
After this initial ping, later posts to 51 will mostly be to All.
KYLE RITTENHOUSE ANALYSIS OF ENCOUNTER
EXPLANATION OF CONFIDENCE IN ACCURACY:
“Jeffrey Epstein didn’t hang himself. (Reasonably high confidence)
[The check is in the mail.]? (Low confidence)
[The check]? is in the mail. (Something is in the mail, but who knows if it is the check?) “
BACK GROUND INFO:
“At least one source indicates Rittenhouse’s father may be a police officer in or near Antioch. Pictures from various social media accounts appear to show Rittenhouse handling firearms (particularly AR platforms) from a young age (7-10 years).
The Antioch Fire Department acknowledged that Rittenhouse was a “Fire Protection Cadet” at one point.
According to the Grayslake Police Department Rittenhouse was a member of the joint Public Safety Cadet Program for the Lindenhurst, Grayslake, and Hainesville police departments. The program offered ride-along sessions as well as firearms.”
training, though it is not clear how extensive these elements were or to what extent Rittenhouse participated.”
TYPE OF GUN AMMO DATA:
“Rittenhouse indicates the AR-15 platform rifle [edit: the complaint states that police recovered a “Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle”.
Other sources claim it is a DPMS Oracle, likely based on an old photo of Rittenhouse holding one.] topped with some red dot / holographic site variant (the magnification optics from prior Rittenhouse photos have been replaced with an [EOTech]?
[edit: More recent sources suggest the rifle is topped with a cheap Chinese sight of some sort]) which he is carrying via a [single point]? sling.
A polymer, 30-round magazine is prominently visible, though no spare magazines appear to be carried.
In response to a question by the reporter about non-lethal munitions Rittenhouse indicates that he is not carrying any (the implication being that Rittenhouse is prepared to use deadly force).”
MEDICAL-from source info edited by me to sum up in one place:
“medkit” - an orange and black bag also slung crosswise across his shoulder.
Gloves - blue/purple (likely nitrile)
An interview with a reporter ends when Rittenhouse sees individual being carried along. “Medical,” he calls. “[EMS]? right here. I’m an EMT. @this point Kyle pushes past the reporter to go to the injured party.
EMT certification ?? He could be trained but not certified-often called EMT
WOUNDS FROM CHARGING DOCUMENTS (Dr. Kelly, M.E. Results)
SBG - gunshot wound to the right groin which fractured his pelvis, a gunshot wound to the back which perforated his right lung and liver, a gunshot wound to the left hand, a superficial gunshot wound to his lateral left thigh, and a graze gunshot wound to the right side of his forehead.
NOTE?: 5 wounds only 4 shots, what explains back wound-SBG was facing Kyle ?
SKBG - gunshot wound to his chest that perforated his heart, aorta, pulmonary artery and right lung.” - M.E.
MBG Wound to right arm, bicep impacted-as observed in video
LEGAL ISSUES Lawyer’s opinion(not from Wisc.)
Wisc. Law- open carry of loaded rifles and pistols OK for those 16 and older not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms. (Age 17-Kyle is ok on this).
Per Lin Wood, No transport of weapon over state lines occurred.
SELF DEFENSE-Have the reasonable belief: that they or another person, are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm, and that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent said harm.
The author’s lengthy review of the Engagements concludes that it is difficult to argue that Rittenhouse was not of such reasonable belief.
Very Clear cut in terms of exhaustion of alternatives short of the use of deadly force and restraint that author has encountered. Note-author thought he might have been too hesitant.
He states that a tactical instructor would likely have advised a second shot to MBG to totally neutralize threat.
GROUPS & LOCATIONS:
As one might expect, reports from the night in question are confused, but it appears as if at least two armed groups:
a local militia type group composed of or supporting business owners, and a liberty/libertarian defence collective, gathered around a number of businesses along Sheridan Road in Kenosha.
One of these businesses was Ultimate Convenience Center at 6007 Sheridan Road (formerly a Shell station).
Rittenhouse is seen apparently in the company of, if not affiliated with, one group of armed individuals. The group appears to be attached to/protecting a local business with the windows boarded up.
Rittenhouse and the members of the group can be heard interacting with local police who indicate their appreciation for the group’s presence. EDIT: NOT @ Ultimate STATION.
“People’s Revolution Movement.” -MBG apparently associated
GROUPS AND LOCATIONS CONTINUED:
“Car Source,” -maintenance facility/service garage of a car dealership - 300 meters to the south of Ultimate
NOTABLE INDIVIDUALS:
“BLM Backpack Girl” and “Grey Camo Pants.” (GCP)apparently experienced operators seen @ Ultimate and Car Source
Author remarks on calm demeanor and monitoring done by the two even when gunshots are heard.

QUOTES FROM ARTICLE BY AUTHOR (lawyer with interest in deadly force CQB incidents)
RE: MBG:
One (Grosskreutz) melted down even though he had ample means to continue the fight. Grosskreutz is only alive today because of Rittenhouse’s amazing (perhaps even naive) restraint.
I don’t know of any tactical instructor that wouldn’t counsel a follow-up shot to center mass on Grosskreutz immediately after the arm-strike.
Amusing aside:
Interview with McGinnis by Detective Cepress:
“McGinnis stated that he had handled many ARs and [Rittenhouse] was not handling the weapon very well.”
Based on the videos I’ve seen Rittenhouse is one of the best weapons handlers under pressure I’ve ever seen. So much for McGinnis’ credibility.
THE END of my report. I also saved the document from Antioch Police Department-it is also at the source link.
