Kenosha Prosecutor Proves Kyle Rittenhouse's Case

I downloaded and read the charges filed against Kyle Rittenhouse by Kenosha assistant district attorney Angelina Gabriele. If I were on the jury and read only the D.A.'s side of the story, I would acquit Rittenhouse for the most serious charges without even listening to his side. The only one that looks to me as if it could have merit is "possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18," which is a misdemeanor.

Let's start with Rittenhouse's first assailant, Joseph D. Rosenbaum. If this is Joseph Don Rosenbaum from Arizona, he served prison time, which is usually consistent with a felony conviction. I was unable to confirm from AZ or WI records that he was a sexual offender, as some have claimed. The following is not Rittenhouse's side of the story as told by himself or his attorney; it is the prosecutor's side of the story. The "probable cause" portion of the document says (I am copying from an OCR transcription of the original PDF document so the accuracy might not be 100%, and emphasis is mine):

Following the defendant is Rosenbaum ... The video shows that as they cross the parking lot, Rosenbaum appears to throw an object at the defendant. The object does not hit the defendant and a second video shows, based on where the object landed, that it was a plastic bag.

Yep, and I think any reasonable person would agree with that.

Oops. Sent the reply to PM. Just as well. No point in helping the prosecutor with my reply.

Lin Wood says the law only applies to 16 and under.

My understanding is that it also has to do with hunting without a license.

[lepton]

An empty plastic bag won’t go very far at all. What was in the bag? A brick?

---

Or even a frozen water bottle, to use as a makeshift flail. One of the other guys shot has something like that in his pocket hanging out under his shorts.

[lepton]

Wasn’t there a head shot to the temple? In the video it looks like a huge hole in his head.

---

The hole looked too small for a direct 5.56 hit. Turns out to have been a graze.

[lepton]

He didn’t think the prosecutor had a chance of getting a conviction.

---

The charges are so outrageous that it would be suitable for IL to turn down the extradition request and for the AG in Wisconsin to be federally charged. It’s well outside of plausible discretion.

Thanks for reposting that link.

The autopsy shows that the fatal wound is indeed in the back but no caliber is given. Many Antifa punks were armed with pistols

It would not surprise me at all if Rosenbaum was targeted by his own side as a disposable asset that would be more useful as a martyr.

[BiteYourSelf]

Yup two of my favorite sayings from him.

The left throws such things.

Even gasoline or other liquids can be used as firestarters
