Man, 26, who was shot in the arm during Kenosha protests where two others were killed says he has lost 90% of his bicep, is in constant pain and gets death threats from supporters of gunman 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse
2020-09-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, on August 25

  • Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz through the arm in Kenosha, Wisconsin

  • On Friday CNN published an interview with Grosskreutz

  • He said he remained in constant pain and kept replaying the incident in his mind

  • He said he and his family receive death threats from Rittenhouse's supporters
It would take a heart of stone not to laugh.
Grosskreutz told CNN that he traveled to the protest because video of the Blake shooting disturbed him. He said he had been to many protests over police brutality in Milwaukee before.

He said he worked as a paramedic before going back to college in Wisconsin and he packed medical supplies in a small backpack in case he needed to treat people at the protests.

He also brought his pistol with him, saying he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

#7  P.S. if he has a permit where is it? He is supposed to have it on his person while carrying.

#6  According to Redstate: Finally, we have Gaige “Lefty” Grosskreutz. Grosskreutz has a pistol in his hand during the confrontation and was shot in the arm. Ironically, he was LARPing as a medic. He was a convicted felon (burglary) — some of the terror sympathizers are claiming his convictions for burglary was merely a misdemeanor, but that remains to be seen — and is not allowed to possess any weapon but appears to have been carrying a concealed semiautomatic pistol. He’s also a member of the anarchist group “People’s Revolution Movement.”

#5  He also brought his pistol with him, saying he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Does that license have the Murder 2 rider?

#4  Yes, losing a lover can cause a lot of pain.



I heard something about him having an issue with alcohol and firearms, brandishing while intoxicated or something? If that is true, would he not lose his CC license?

Different state, different rules, and some time has passed, but it was drilled that carrying while intoxicated is a license loser, or even just being in a bar is a no no.
