Newly uncovered footage shows Kyle Rittenhouse rushing with a fire extinguisher to put out a dumpster that the rioters had set ablaze.
This is yet another tidbit destroying the left’s narrative that Rittenhouse had “crossed state lines to kill protesters.”

Newly uncovered footage shows Kyle Rittenhouse bringing a fire extinguisher to the scene of the (literal) dumpster fire in Kenosha the rioters started, to help put it out.
This new footage also aligns with Rittenhouse’s legal team’s explanation of what happened that evening.
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rittenhouse had worked as a lifeguard in Kenosha the day of the shooting. After work, he went to the local high school to help clean up graffiti on the building.
“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,” a statement provided to the Gateway Pundit by Rittenhouse’s legal team explains. “Business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines.”
When Rittenhouse arrived at the mechanics shop, he and others stood guard to prevent further destruction. Later that night, long after the 8 p.m. curfew had passed, the police began to disperse a group of rioters. His lawyer, John M. Pierce, explains that while dispersing the mob, they maneuvered a mass of individuals down the street towards the auto shops. Rittenhouse and the others were threatened and taunted, but he did not react. “His intent was not to incite violence, but simply to deter property damage and use his training to provide first aid to injured community members,” Pierce says.
The statement says that by the final time that Rittenhouse returned to the gas station and “confirmed there were no more injured individuals who needed assistance, police had advanced their formation and blocked what would have been his path back to the mechanic’s shop. Kyle then complied with the police instructions not to go back there. Kyle returned to the gas station until he learned of a need to help protect the second mechanic’s shop further down the street where property destruction was imminent with no police were nearby.”
“As Kyle proceeded towards the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy. This outraged the rioters and created a mob now determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down. Kyle attempted to get away, but he could not do so quickly enough. Upon the sound of a gunshot behind him, Kyle turned and was immediately faced with an attacker lunging towards him and reaching for his rifle. He reacted instantaneously and justifiably with his weapon to protect himself, firing and striking the attacker,” Pierce explains.
The legal fees and other costs of Rittenhouse’s defense will be provided through donations to #FightBack Foundation Inc., a Texas 501(c)(4) foundation created by John Pierce and Lin Wood to protect law- abiding American citizens whose rights are being trampled on by state and local governments that are more concerned with appeasing mobs than protecting those rights.
also police car off to the side. cops probably ordered to not intervene.
just let the demonstrators do their peace thing like attack businesses with dumpsters on fire.
attacking businesses with dumpster fires is protected by the First Amendment, isn’t it?
attacking businesses with dumpster fires is like Rosa Parks sitting in the front of a bus, and looting luxury stores is just like Henry David Thoreau not paying the war tax.
"Who says protests have to be peaceful"?
Fredo
Bump for later
Wow, this kid was like a one man anti-riot team. Very impressive.
That sheriff is corrupt as fck
His militia is the BLM terrorists.
No arrests for murders of illegally corioters co assaulters
Vichy France again.. cops cooperate with incoming terrorists against locals
He's 17, so he has a lot of energy. :-)
Every video shows that he's a kid who just went there to do the right thing.
Those two videos aren't new, though. They were available yesterday.
That first video looks like another guy putting out the fire, but the second one is definitely Kyle running by with a fire extinguisher.
Bump
Fredo got pwned by the Ramen King for that. If you haven’t seen this, it may be the funniest 10s of your day.

In particular, Grey Camo Pants guy should be in jail. As ID’d in this AAR:
He fired the first shot.
kyle showed very disciplined target selection for a young man who was probably tired...
FREE KYLE NOW!
A real dumpster fire? I know the young hero was attempting to help extinguish the dumpster fire that Kenosha and the rest of urban America has become.
All hands on deck when the attackers are being harmed
The guy with the fire extinguisher can be seen in another twitter video that actually shows 2 of the guys shot and killed taunting the guys protecting the car lot. The third guy, now known as “lefty,” is also in the video walking taking pictures “live Streaming”
This implies Kyle borrowed the rifle from the friend, or both obtained rifles from somebody else. Does anybody know what became of the rifle after the shooting?
Dealing with "Lefty" is the only place where I have even the smallest amount of criticism for Kyle.
After the first shot "Lefty" is still holding the pistol, jumping around like crazy. I don't understand how Kyle realized the threat was neutralized. IMHO, another shot to center mass was justified.
