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.

Even weirder is the arm shot guy walks thru the camera shot in the beginning of the vid. You see him from the 1 second mark to 5 seconds.
Have read somewhere that KR fired 1 shot into the ground in front of redshirt and raised his weapon and fired 1 more shot. I speculate this round went thru redshirt’s hand, into his groin, and then shattered his hip. The wounds to his back and head came from another shooter, as he dropped in front of KR face down, so how did KR shoot him in the back?
wow...that is him...strolling along, holding his phone...right arm all smooth and injury free....heh.
You talkin' about Grosskreutz? New name is Lefty.
