KENOSHA, Wisconsin — An Illinois man who shot three people during a protest over police brutality in Wisconsin last year was justified because the men confronted him and two of them tried to wrestle his gun away, a use-of-force expert called by the defense testified at a pretrial hearing Tuesday.

The expert, John Black, spent hours outlining the moments that led to Kyle Rittenhouse's decisions to shoot Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz, offering a preview of the defense team's strategy when Rittenhouse's trial begins next month. Black testified that video shows Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse and reaching for the teenager's gun, Huber attacking Rittenhouse with a skateboard and trying to wrestle away his gun, and Grosskreutz running at him with a pistol in his hand.

Kyle will walk, and all the state did was set us up for more
civil unrest.

He had every right to defend himself, and even with a man
pointing a gun at him, they still kvetch.

They weren’t just reasonable, they were outstanding. He showed great patience and only fired when he was left no alternative.

White privilege.

Kyle Rittenhouse: Shoots three criminals in self defense - bail $2 million and lawyers didn’t want to touch the case.

Timothy Simpkins: Brings gun to school, shoots 4 people including a teacher - bail $25k and released in less than 24 hours.

Hmmm

Yeah. It is now 12:41 Eastern Daylight Time. The guy in Texas is now robbing, gang banging, and slinging dope once again. And in all probably looking for someone else to shoot with the gun they gave back to him. Secure in the knowledge that he is bullet proof and he can do as he pleases and no one can touch him.

Oh yeah, I saw lots of video back when, along with the excellent analysis of it all someone at arfcom did. This should be open and shut self defense. I’m not saying it is a given, I am saying it should be.

In any sane universe, Kyle would walk. This is an anti-sane universe though. I think he’ll get life.

I know. But this is political. The other two were politically protected. Same principle as a Jew in the 1930s Germany defending himself from an attacking member of the Hitler Youth.

The purple-haired homosexuals at Facebook erased my file there for posting photos of the three criminals conducting violent acts toward Kyle on the fateful night he defended his life.

One of the ANTIFA creeps he shot was a convicted pedophile, and one of the other ANTIFA creeps (Gaige Grosskreutz) was photographed pointing a black pistol at Kyle’s head while Kyle was on the ground.

The only mistake Kyle made was not shooting Grosskreutz in the testicles several times. Heaven knows it would have been deserved.

Not necessarily. It takes just one on a jury for a mistrial, does it not?

this is political

Now that the just-us system has been fully hijacked by the left, we need loser pays in criminal prosecutions. It's unfair the state, with practically unlimited resources, can bankrupt innocent families just because the left is in power. They can't win, so they abuse government process to punish and destroy.

That’s very, very rare. The court system will keep the jury into a compliance.

Kyle’s screwed. No less so than anyone else that stands up to the system.

and Grosskreutz running at him with a pistol in his hand.

And Grosskreutz was livestreaming at the time. He's on video running up to Kyle who was running toward the police. Grosskreutz asks him if he shot someone, and Kyle responds that he's going to the police. That's when Grosskreutz yells to the others: "Stop him!"

I hope you are right. I hope he is freed.

He deserves to be.

Agree.

This is a public lynching.

Kyle will walk.

Not because he is innocent or self defense.

But because the left needs more rage from the color revolution.

If Kyle is convicted, they know patriots will chatter, talk, and sit behind keyboards ...we won’t rage in the streets trying to tear down the halls of government. For then the left might call us terrorists.

the irony is stark

I think a proper jury will see it that way as well.

The important thing to remember is this is going to be an uphill climb not just for the legal defense mind you, for the defense against the lying liberal lamestream media's smears in this case.

The 'news media' knows full well that a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on. They made damn' sure the lies were told far, wide, and often and they're going to kick it into overdrive during the trial.

The truth finally has its pants on and it's just getting warmed up to run the race. It's up to all of us to keep the facts in focus and out front going forward.
