This was a link on another thread. It took me well over an hour to read through the text documented with photographs and links to videos. It reads like a detective novel written by one who has seen the evidence, evaluated it and come to reasonable, probable and defensible conclusions as to the circumstances of the shootings by Kyle Rittenhouse. Though young and maybe somewhat naive, he has been well trained and survived what many experts would consider an urban warfare situation with guerrilla forces well trained and organized.

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. Bookmark this link - it will need to be referred back to in coming days.

Thanks for posing CD - it certainly needed its own thread.

 

And BTT!

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.

[Yardstick]

Way too wordy.

Half way through. Interesting

Not bad but needs some clarification and updating:

from the Bainbridge letter below (caveat - I couldn’t cut and paste, so this is a hand transcribe):
“After Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove grafitti from rioters. Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence. The business owner needed help to protect what was left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops....[the letter goes on to say that Kyle went to the gas station to render aid and on the way back he was blocked by the PD from returning to his original post, so he headed to the 2nd mechanic shop] As Kyle proceeded to the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the rioters wanted to destroy. This outraged rioters and created a mob determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down....” (use the right arrow on the twitter page to go to page 2)

The letter also states that the long gun Kyle used was never transported over state lines; it never left Wisconsin. He turned himself in voluntarily.

a short legal analysis is here:

here is the criminal complaint - note that redshirt had five wounds - one to the pelvis, three superficial/non-lifethreatening, and the fatal shot - the one to the back, which is curious because he was lunging forward and fell forward, as described in the complaint. Was someone else shooting at Kyle, and redshirt caught one of the rounds in his back? Or a freak shot or?

Also to be noted: Mattis (the Daily Caller guy who was first on the scene), was punched and harassed for helping redshirt. Their car was blocked and it took some time to get redshirt to the hospital across the street)

Everyone needs to read all of this.
