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.

Reading this will keep you on the edge of your seat as the poster ("Austrian") leads you separately through the evening with both Rittenhouse and the mob until they both meet up in the final second violent confrontation. How this young man survived is due to both training and luck, and now the local government is attempting to use him as their excuse for their inaction in protecting life and property in Kenosha.

OK, bookmarked.
can you summarize? who’s the other shooter?
https://www.bitchute.com/video/Iy9epcyVM32T/
this is video of the confrontation that started it all in motion...both sides were friendly at first..then rioters started a dumpster from this gas station on fire..and wanted to block the road with it..Kyle took a fire exstinguisher and put it out...that got the thugs pissed. Note at 21 seconds of the video, both punks that Kyle killed are standing right next to each other...weird. At 56 seconds, pretty sure this is the guy that fired the first shot..note the glock in his right hand....
Is the first shooter the bearded guy with the “mid” tattoo?
4chan has been on this. Been a rollercoaster ride.
pretty sure the tall bearded guy with the black cap on is the first shooter..hes at 56 seconds of the vid...the girl with the red scarf around her head is his girlfriend...
I saw that one time on a news report ... a dumpster fire and then someone using a fire extinguisher to put it out. I had no idea at the time that it was Kyle.
Also, for a 17 year old, the punks met their match. One was 36, the other was 26 ... I will be this is not the first riot they ever participated in and they did have training.

Name unknown as of now, but identified as Grey Camo Pants by the writer. See this clip:
Going out on a limb, is it possible that Grey Camo Pants saw the potentially confrontation with the obviously armed Rittenhouse and fired off a round in the air to intentionally escalate the situation and trigger a response? Might the additional gunshots heard beyond the 3-4 rounds probably expended by Rittenhouse have been discharged by Grey Camo Pants? No one else seems to have been hit with gunfire. Were those shots set off in the air to add to the confusion and chaos and trigger responses?
ive seen 2 short vids of 2 people with extinguishers...one shows Kyle running past the camera very quickly carrying one...
“Kyle took a fire exstinguisher and put it out...that got the thugs pissed. “
Is this how he got separated? Another poster wrote that the police would not let him back.
Excellent analysis of the entire confrontation. I suspect much of this is going to be regurgitated in the coming weeks. I don’t doubt that this analysis will be backed up by several experts.
not quite sure how he got separated...reporter who was following Kyle says the rioters confronted him in the street...Kyle tried to avoid trouble by walking to the side walk....they surrounded him and he took off running into the car lot...pedo boy chased him...rest is history. Not sure what happened to all the other armed guards ....

It’s a myth that Kyle was the one who put out the dumpster.
Misidentification.
It was another guy at the gasoline station argument.
The guy they went after first, who is pulled back hard by one of their own guys
