'I walked away with my life that night': Wounded Kenosha medic Gaige Grosskreutz tells his story
The Milwaukee Journal ^ | September 11, 2020 | Gina Barton

Posted on 09/17/2020 9:14:23 AM PDT by PBRCat

Grosskreutz was among three people shot on the third night of protests after Kenosha police shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, seven times in the back.

The two other victims of the Aug. 25 triple shooting, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, did not survive.

The shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Ill, considered himself a citizen soldier. That evening, armed with an AR-15, he told several people he had traveled to Kenosha to help protect life and property. Rittenhouse has been charged with five felonies including first-degree intentional homicide. His lead attorney, John M. Pierce of the law firm Pierce Bainbridge, plans to argue self-defense.

Because of the pending criminal charges against Rittenhouse, Grosskreutz's attorney, Kimberly Motley, has advised him not to discuss what happened the moments immediately before he was shot. On videos, Rittenhouse can be seen falling as he is chased down Sheridan Drive. Grosskreutz approaches, comes to a stop after Rittenhouse shoots Huber, then takes a few more steps before being shot in the arm at close range.

Grosskreutz sees the demonstrations against police brutality as a first step toward ending inequality and bringing about the ideal of justice for all.

"I want to be there and help amplify my brothers' and sisters' voices," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday.

Point needs to be made that at the hospital he expressed he wished he had killed Kyle.
Kyle fired to end the threat. He did not continue when the assault had ended.

I’d be willing to bet Kyle was going to properly ventilate this person but fired when he saw the gun coming up.

I’d like to know where Kyle got his training. I’d like to sign up for the course, even at my age.

Somewhere on FR in the last few days, someone posted a GIF of this shooting. He did a little dance after being hit.
