[GatewayPundit] The man who fired the first shots from behind Kyle Rittenhouse during the fatal incident in Kenosha has been charged.Joshua Ziminski, 35, has been charged with disorderly conduct and use of a dangerous weapon for firing his weapon during the incident on August 25.
The police go on to report that when speaking to Ziminski, and his wife who was present at the time, both admitted that he had fired off a "warning shot" into the air.
This strengthens the case that Rittenhouse had reason to fear for his life and was acting in self defense when he shot and killed two rioters.
