The Kenosha Shootings / Kyle Rittenhouse: A Tactical and Legal Analysis: UPDATED: 1st Shooter ID'd?
AR15COM ^ | August 27, 2020 (update 8/29) | Austrian

Posted on 08/29/2020 5:52:27 PM PDT by CedarDave

By now the majority of you will have seen or heard of the pair of engagements in Kenosha, Wisconsin (hereinafter the "Engagements") between one Kyle Rittenhouse and a number of other individuals, some recently departed, others now unfortunately unable to operate a keyboard with any efficiency, particularly when proper capitalization is required of their typewritten text. In the wake of these encounters it is quite something to see the degree of bad information, misinformation, and disinformation that has showered the socialinterwebsitetubes, particularly from a tactical and legal perspective.

On the tactical side, it is surprising that matters seem so distorted, since the Engagements must rank among the most comprehensively filmed deadly force CQB incidents in some years (and one of the only engagements in recent memory involving an AR system). In fact, despite the poor lighting conditions, the mobile nature of the camera operators (none, to my knowledge, trained combat photographers), and the chaos of small unit action that will be familiar to anyone who has been in the midst of it, it is possible to view the most cogent parts of the engagement in vivid detail, from multiple camera angles, and with stereo sound.

Given the sudden merger of two subjects of great interest to me, and a five hour phone call I had with an old acquaintance now an employee of the Federal Government of the United States based not far from Wisconsin, I could not but look into the Engagements more carefully. Having done so, I could not but type up my analysis. Having done so I could not but seek a forum for publication. ... I reverted to my first choice in scholarly publication excellence: ARFCOM.

“We’re not going to sift through a bunch of boring prose to tell us what we already know.”

You can look at the pictures.

both punks that Kyle killed are standing right next to each other...weird.

That is not surprising. Antifa and BLM protestors are trained and work in teams. They have "partners" and they are trained to move like water, but reform to fight as needed.

For a quick tip of the iceberg view see here.

One example:

the ballistics report should clear that up? Mattis the reporter described two shots - the first he said was after KR pulled his gun up and away from redshirt grabbing it. That could be the head graze that looks like a bullet wound? Mattis also said that he saw one shot go to ground. sparked? So guessing that’s when KB lowered the weapon back down? speculating.

The Fraud Bureau of intimidation is only after the white supremacists- haven’t you been following the FBI reports that and the House Intelligence committee (now that is a oxymoron) both have listed White supremacists as the most dangerous to the USA.

Interesting too that the rioters attacked Kyle even after he’d fired his weapon. We’re they on drugs or trained to take this action?

“This group has been a major player clearly since 2015. Where the heck has the FBI been?”

We know the answer to that one, and despite Trump being POTUS, there are still career planted people inside working against him. obozo and holder and lynch were focused on stamping out “white supremacist” groups and going after police departments (recall the wake of Ferguson), which by the lack of publication of their efforts/results ... the supremacist groups appear to be insignificant. If the truth be told, America’s first black POTUS set back race relations in this country big time and his silence today with the violence is stunning, but really not surprising as he is a marxist at heart. His plus the silence of the demonkrap leadership across the board (all levels of government, media, academia) it is obvious that they are supporters of their violent paramilitary commies who are in their demonkrap cities.

An extremely well done analysis.

Amazing that the two Kyle took out and the third he wounded (now to be known as Lefty), all had criminal records...

Pure speculation on my part, but I'm guessing they had something else in common - an addiction to 'social media' (probably Youtube). I've seen the question asked repeatedly: 'Why would anyone chase a guy with a rifle, and try to take it away from him - are they dumber than rocks, or what?'

Remember the video[s] of the professional security consultant, who "snatched" not one but TWO stolen police rifles from ANTIFA/BLM rioters? I'm guessing the three cons spent way too much time watching those images, and said to themselves, "THAT'S EASY!!!" Good ol' Lefty Goosekrapz in particular seemed to be looking for Youtube fame, playing his own version of 'run up & grab the AR while waving your handgun'...

Sorry this is so big but it is a large image.

It shows how ANTIFA organizes itself in its protest/riots.

There is a wealth of information on line distributed by Antifa that describes their tactics. Exposing that to the public will help them understand that BLM, Antifa, and the various marxist groups aren’t just a group of people with a viewpoint they are trying to share with the public. They are organized revolutionaries.
