Lawyer of alleged Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse claims self-defense as video emerges

Newly emerged online video and photos apparently shows one of alleged Kenosha, Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouse’s victims holding a handgun during the encounter – as the suspect’s lawyer insists his client was acting in self-defense.

In the footage, Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old Illinois resident, can be seen allegedly shooting his third and only surviving victim Gaige Grosskreutz in the arm as the Grosskreutz apparently holds a handgun.

Prosecutors say Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz, 26, shortly after fatally gunning down Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, late Tuesday during protests over the Sunday police-shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake in the city.

The teen shooting suspect was charged with six criminal counts — including first-degree intentional homicide and attempted homicide – but his lawyer L. Lin Wood insists that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense.

According to Rittenhouse’s criminal complaint filed Thursday in Kenosha County Circuit Court, an unarmed Rosenbaum had followed Rittenhouse into a used car lot and a Daily Caller reporter identified as Richard McGinnis was trailing behind them.

At the lot, Rosenbaum attempted to throw a plastic bag at Rittenhouse and McGinnis, who witnessed the incident, told authorities that Rosenbaum tried to grab Rittenhouse’s Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle before he was shot.

Let the FR jury decide. Plastic bag? On fire? Other?

The pedo carried the bag around all day. Probably a concrete milkshake in there.

Saline spray for pepper spray exposure to the face.

I was referring to what is hanging out of his left pant leg.

I did not notice it until TigersEye just now pointed it out.

Sorry about that. I gave direct access to the pic instead of the website. I guess it works for me because I went to the website first then opened the URL for the pic from there.

Here is the website page for anyone who wants to see it. Very graphic! Disgusting website too.

This article neglects to say that the second perpetrator was hitting Kyle in his neck or face with a skateboard. It makes it sound like Kyle shot at him for no reason

Someone added brightness to this one though. Hopefully L. Lin Wood has professionals enhancing all the videos.

Who says you can't just shoot the gun out of their hands? It worked with Lefty Grosskreutz.

“The kid’s a bit kooky, but he kept pretty cool under pressure.”

Why do say he’s kooky?

Extremely cool under pressure. Here we are analyzing his every move oh, well he was doing it all real time, while being attacked, and likely scared.

” likely to be sued “

He’s 17 - what would they sue him for?

With the left media going nuts with this, I’m sure Lin Wood will get him some money.

Very graphic

---------------------

On par for what is aired on Alarma TV which is air broadcast.

Though the FCC made them stop airing beheadings and other executions.

Never heard of that. Is that some Arabic broadcasting network?
