Attorney for Kenosha teenager Kyle Rittenhouse releases new footage showing a BLM protester fire a gun BEFORE his client - claiming it proves self-defense
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Kyle Rittenhouse's attorney Lin Wood released new video footage on Tuesday

  • Rittenhouse, 17, is charged with intentional homicide in two fatal shootings

  • He also shot and wounded a third protester who was wielding a handgun

  • Teen's attorneys argue that all three shootings were clear-cut self-defense

  • New footage shows unidentified gunshot before Rittenhouse opened fire

  • He was being charged by protester and 'pinned' against parked cars, Wood says

  • Case has become a political flashpoint and ignited heated partisan divide

#1 The local & State DA does not seem interested in FACTS, or whether it was a legal justified shoot...

The Liberal Socialists Democrat Leadership has a serious problem here. If this young man can legally defended himself from having his butt stomped within an inch of life, if not being murdered outright by these "Peaceful" protesters. Then other CITIZENS would follow the same basic Self Defense actions.
Then we would have more citizens guarding and protecting themselves and Properties. Resulting in a quick massive reduction of "Peaceful" Protestors.

In short it would cull their Liberal Socialist Democrat Protest rank and file to great lengths.

#2 Keep in mind, Komrad, the process is the punishment.

#3 Lin Wood is a high-profile attorney out of Atlanta. He is one of a team of attorneys. Wood also represented Richard Jewell and Nicolas Sandmann. He has been called “attorney for the damned.”

#4 Outrageous. Drop the charges, now.

#5 If we're talking skinny ass firing his revolver, that video was timelined within a week of the incident.

#6 'Journalist' McGinnis fugmeintheear DM. Show that bean footage then.

Skinny Ass is in the picture behind Childraper's left shoulder with the grin. He is a professional agitator.

Nice of DM to not show Lefty's pistol in any pictures.

They also don't show Skate or Die pursuing Kyle down the road.

There were at least a couple Professional video composites withing a couple days of the incident, before or near to charges being files.

#7  Keep in mind, Komrad, the process is the punishment.

Exactly. Even if he can't convict, the DA can make Rittenhouse's life hell for a long, long time by tying him up in court. Same with Derek Chauvin who will sit in jail for at least a year before his case even comes to trial. Same with General Flynn. Justice delayed is justice denied.

#8 Not just the process; I understand there was a literal bounty put on Kyle's life for something to happen to him while in prison.

#9 Rittenhouse was in great danger when he fired his weapon while on the ground. Most likely, he would have been killed had he not shot his weapon. It looks like skateboard guy hit him with the edge of the skateboard in the back of the head; Rittenhouse is lucky not to have sustained a brain injury or ended up paralyzed.

There should not be a legal question. Frigging-outofcontrol-mobs are very dangerous unless you have sufficient force to stop them.

#10 Here is a good Cliff's Notes version and really tells all you need to know. About 11 minutes.

I'm trying to come across/remember the one I saw which had multi-video time-linked for different angles of the unfolding event as well as proofing of conclusions. Unfortunately, with this new release searches are cluttered and tracing down a particular link in the month of August is a real head scratcher.

#11 Bygawd, I win a cookie:

Play by play, dated August 27th.

The same day charges were filed.

This is a read, so if interested find yourself at least 30 minutes and a beverage.

#12 From the full length analysis:

Interview with McGinnis by Detective Cepress:
"McGinnis stated that he had handled many ARs and [Rittenhouse] was not handling the weapon very well."
Based on the videos I've seen Rittenhouse is one of the best weapons handlers under pressure I've ever seen. So much for McGinnis' credibility.

And it seems Daily Mail's as well.

I came across a comment somewhere, to the effect, "I am a combat vet from Iraq, and have never seen such good rifle control."

#13 He does have good situational awareness as well as rifle control.
