I agree, the report isn’t quite right, and everyone should be more careful. Here are my additions/corrections (not limited to this article):

1. The gas station “shoot me” video is at 6007 Sheridan Rd. and the crowd is moving North — I don’t see Rittenhouse in the gas station videos;

2. Rittenhouse is interviewed by Richie McGinniss at 5912 Sheridan, which is across the street 0.1 miles north — Rittenhouse appears to be alone at that point;

3. Rittenhouse is chased to 5821 Sheridan, another 0.1 mile North and back to the East side of the street, where the man chasing him is shot in the head;

4. We don’t know the time lapse between the interview by McInniss and the first shooting, but McGinnis told Tucker Carlson it was “earlier in the night.” It is possible to assume that Rittenhouse stayed on his own, wasn’t aware of the conflict at the gas station, and was set upon by the man who was killed after that man walked about a block beyond the gas station confrontation — but those details are not out yet. More time could have elapsed, during which the man took off his red shirt (or it could have been minutes later).

5. Early reports that the deadman threw a Molotov cocktail at Rittenhouse were wrong, he has a clear plastic bag in the gas station video. That is what he threw.

6. Some have said it may be important whether Rittenhouse had “permission” to guard a property — I don’t think that matters, since he was running away not guarding anything during the shootings

. 7. It would be good for Rittenhouse if one of the cops from the armored vehicles he talked to after the shootings “remembers” yelling at him to go home. Rittenhouse should take the 5th, but the cops can explain why the kid drove home, 20 miles South out of Wisconsin.

I think you have a couple of things wrong in your additions/corrections, but getting the details published and correct is helpful for everyone.

The shooting did not happen at 5821 Sheridan, that building does not match the background of videos which show the first gunfire. Compare the street view of 5821 Sheridan to the background of, for example, this video.

5912 Sheridan is an auto repair shop. There were a number of young men there defending it, including a couple posted on the roof. There are also a number of times where armed young men defended the adjacent gas station on both nights of the riot.
