Kenosha shooting victim seen in video confronting armed men saying, ‘shoot me’ (Rosenbaum)

One of the two protesters allegedly slain by teen vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week confronted armed men shortly before he was killed, shouting, “Shoot me, n—a,” according to reports and video footage.

Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, can be seen in the online video approaching a group of men on a crowded street in Kenosha as he moves closer and closer repeatedly saying, “Shoot me, n—a,” according to a report by Storyful.

Rosenbaum was later shot dead by the suspected 17-year-old gunman during protests over the Sunday police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake in Kenosha.

The law firm Pierce Bainbridge, which has represented President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Trump adviser Carter Page, is representing Kyle, and has released a 3 page statement. This was arranged by Lin Wood.

Kyle was a life guard. After work he was helping to clean up after the prior night’s riot. A request for help went out. He and his friend went to help.

The gun belonged to the friend and never went across state lines. It was in Wisconsin the whole time. It was all self defense.

Even then, did Kyle actually shoot him?

Looking at the video, and agreed it’s from a distance, it appears the pedophile was looking at Kyle from a distance of maybe 10 feet, yet he’s shot in the side of the head.

This means, he would have been looking at something at a 90 degree angle (almost) and wouldn’t have been looking directly at Kyle, the person he was trying to kill.

Is it possible someone else was shooting at Kyle and accidentally took the pedophile down?

Also, IF Kyle was using 5.56 green tip, I suspect the pedophile would have been missing half his head after the shot. Since there was no exit wound, it appears to be small caliber (.22LR perhaps?) that hit him. I suspect this especially after looking at a still photo of the felon with a gun that had his arm almost shot off. There was a big mess of splatter at the moment of impact.

“The video showing him tossing a lit Molotov Cocktail at Rittenhouse did it for me”

Not a Molotov Cocktail. Not that it matters. See the AR15.COM link just above for a clear photo of an object in a Ziploc bag being thrown. Shorty’s violent death was just a matter of when. Real white trash that one was.

That was my question too. Tucker interviewed the person that was trying to stop the bleeding on the head wound guy. He said Kyle shot him 5 times. I missed who the guy was-maybe a journalist? Don’t know how credible he is.

There were a lot of shots and they did not all seem to come from Kyle’s location.

Wow, I saw him and he seemed totally credible to me.

*********************************************************************************
I should clarify that I don’t know who he is or anything about him, therefore even though he appeared to be believable, I can not assess his REAL credibility until I know more about him.

Some people are very convincing liars.

The decedents were NOT victims.

They were perpetrators.

If he lied to Tucker on air he would never get another gig again. Here it is for all those who did not see it. Fast forward to minute 17:00.

Link here.

Totally credible. He supplies a lot of detail and not made up in my opinion. HE WAS RIGHT BEHIND THE THUG WHEN IT HAPPENED.

Correction, the eye witness who was at the scene of the shooting tells his story starting at minute 29:15 and not 17:00.

Yeh, well I generally wait 48 hrs. at least before I jump on someone’s band wagon. And Tucker seemed to be a bit uncertain about it at the end.

You may be totally correct. I may be absolutely wrong. Such is life. But I’ll still wait before I make up my mind about the truth of the whole thing. After all, eye witness accounts often vary. Things happen so fast. To be determined for me.

I have no need or desire to argue about it. Have a great weekend.

This was his SECOND interview on Tucker. Do you really think he made this up? Really?

"..slain by teen vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha,"

Add a 0 to the settlement!

I did not say I thought he made it up. Are you really always so OBNOXIOUS? I told you I have no need or desire to argue about it.

Everyone doesn’t have to just drop down and immediately agree with you cause your demand it.

So just STOP. There’s enough discord in the world without your crappy comments and SHOUTING.

See my post 23 regarding two videos at the dealership and my conjecturing. Although after looking at it again, the guy just to the left of the right-most light when the shots go off is probably reporter McGinnis and not the pistol shooter.

The pistol shooter is still behind (screen right) based on McGinnis’s comments to Tucker Carlson in another(?) video.
