A 17-year-old Illinois resident has been charged in connection with a Tuesday shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, was arrested Wednesday in Antioch, IL, on a charge of first degree intentional homicide. Officials in Kenosha said they will hold an afternoon press conference on the matter. An alleged eyewitness, Brendan Gutenschwager, said he saw the shooter speak with police shortly after the incident before he left the scene. “The shooter basically just got up and proceeded to walk toward the line of police that were there in the bearcat and a couple vehicles, and he basically just walked right up to them with the gun still out in front of him, and spoke with them for a few seconds,” Gutenschwager said in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “I couldn’t make out what he said. I know that after a few seconds, the cops were not happy with him standing that close. He was literally right outside of the cop car doors, which, prior to that, for the past two hours leading up to that, anybody that got that close was getting fired at with tear gas, pepper bullets, or something like that. “And he just basically talked to them,” Gutenschwager added. “They told him to step away from the vehicle, and he continued walking, and took off, basically. And then about two minutes later more police arrived, actually like a crime scene and doing an investigation.” Footage of the scene showed a man being shot Tuesday night as Kenosha rioters entered the parking lot of a car dealership. An interview with the alleged shooter prior to the incident showed him telling a reporter that he was on the scene “protect this business,” adding, “part of my job is to also help people — if somebody’s hurt, I’m running into harm’s way.” Gutenschwager said he saw “probably about a dozen” citizens carrying rifles and other firearms in the streets before the incident.
I watched the footage of the 17 yr old being chased down the street, alone, chased by say, 20 rioters. Somehow he tripped up and was on the ground when what appeared to be jackals or maybe hyenas came in for ______ (fill in the blank). The disarmament? The beat down? The kill? One of the chasers can be heard "I think we should beat him up". The first jackal to pounce looked to be trying to kick his head in similarly to what Marquise Love did except he came at the grounded teen from the front. So he was braver than Keese Love cause Love's victim was unarmed, subdued, compliant, already beat up, and unaware of the running kick coming from behind. This was a much braver kicker, trying to brain someone with a semi auto rifle...but was unfortunately shot from the teens prone position just as his foot came within inches of the innocent youth's face. He limped off but must have died later given more info. He was very brave, but apparently very foolish because there were two other jackals who ceased and desisted the chase/charge as soon as they saw the teen recover from the fall enough to raise the barrel at the closest oncomers. Those were very smart guys and they never got shot . The brave one just kept coming regardless of his life (maybe it didn't matter?) and may have scored some points with the female rioters but is probably not able to cash in on the street cred he earned. He took one round, not many. The second jackal to be brave followed immediately after the first brave rioter and, pouncing over the outnumbered teen, grabbed for the rifle with his left hand while carrying his skateboard in his right hand, which he dropped and picked up just as he was being shot from the teens still prone position. If the first jackal had connected with the kick, the teen surely would have been disarmed ...and then beat (half?) to death, judging by the madness of the howling mob. Instead the second jackal fell a few steps away having taken one round, not many. Seeing this, at least two or three other very smart rioters ceased and desisted their chase/charge and started backing off. These wise men's lives mattered more to themselves and they were able to save them with this very simple action. The kid didn't shoot at them at all. The third Biden voter (business burner) was in process of pouncing just as the rioting skateboarder (who was breaking curfew law) took a fatal round. This stunned the Biden voter who froze for just an instant while two or three independent voters decided to cease, desist, and back off. As the Biden voter froze for one second, the still prone teen swivels the barrel of the rifle toward him, and seeing the Biden voter was undecided, began lowering the barrel until it was pointing at the street showing great gun control discipline. Nobody else needed to get hurt. But when the white ally Biden voter saw the lowered barrel, instead of interpreting it as an olive branch, he must have thought "imma bash this racist kid", or, maybe he wanted to show how black he could be, not sure, but for whatever reason he decided to resume pouncing on the armed youth, who immediately raised the barrel and fired one round (not many) which almost took the white ally's right arm off at the elbow. Upon realizing he'd been struck, the white ally Biden voter ran off and was videos screaming for a medic. Fortunately, he or one of the other rioters was carrying a tournequet in his knapsack and someone helped him get the bleeding stopped. If he lived, then the first two voters must have died, given the info that two out of three died. After the three rounds, after the third Biden voter (business burner) was shot , suddenly at least 20 other domestic terrorists realized that their lives mattered more than the message they were trying to send through the immanent beating of the 17 yr. old youth they were chasing. They started voting for their own lives matter with their feet (by walking respectfully away from the disciplined youth). Seeing they had all backed off, the youth got up off the ground, pointed his barrel at the ground, and walked off cautiously watching his back. Seems he had no quarrel with them at that point. Is there something I missed?
The kid did the right thing. Sometime you need to use violence against animals. He will be vindicated.
See if I can find that footage. There's also footage showing him guarding an auto dealership and saying he would go into harms way to help someone. Well he was in harm's way just trying to guard the dealership, apparently, and started a strategic retreat when he realized he might be overwhelmed. Soon he's being chased, even though he's armed, and everything is fine until he is tripped up and attacked once he hits the ground. So who picked this fight?
Imagine a black BLM protester shooting 3 people and calmly surrendering himself to the cops with a gun around his torso. In what planet do they not shoot him dead like a dog on the street?
Together these are the best views just prior and of the self defence ...(and of the Biden voter who carried a tournequet ) There were shots after he got up but doesn't look like they came from the youth.
When you cross state lines with an AR-15 and end up killing people, you're not defending your home....it's called hunting.
