Thank goodness the kid has a crack team of lawyers....L. Lin Wood’s own statement is, “This is not my first rodeo”.....and I expect him to mop the floor with all of the evidence that is out there. There is video of a lit molotov cocktail being thrown at Rittenhouse before he shot THAT perp. There is video of Rittenhouse being battered in the head with a skateboard by the second deceased perp.....and lastly, the convicted felon who should not have had possession of the gun he DID have in his right hand came at the kid while he was on the ground waving a gun in his right hand, aiming for Ritttenhouse’s head....
Go to the 17 second mark and watch to about the 30 second mark. The object Rosenbaum had thrown is on the ground out in the open. It apparently was a plastic bag with several items in it.
I thought it was flaming too after seeing a video from another angle but the plastic back-lit by the bright lights must have given that impression. Another FReeper said he identified one of the objects in the bag as a water bottle.
The rest of what you said I agree with and have been posting about for a couple of days.
