Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

[Rev. Rye]

Given that Grossenkreutz’ actions were done to neutralize the threat from an active shooter (given that Rittenhouse had shot several people by that point, this seems like a plausible self-defense claim), never actually fired the gun, and that, unlike Grossenkreutz, Rittenhouse actually killed three people, it makes sense that the law would come down harder on Rittenhouse than Grossenkreutz.

Uh... That is one way of looking at it.

The other is he was pointing a gun at someone defending himself....

Read the article. He said under oath that Rittenhouse did NOT fire until he pointrd his pistol at Rittenhouse 

If Grosskruerz had fired first ( they were at point blank range) would HE be up on charges? 

There really isn' t an innocent party here.

They ALL fucked up.

And he killed 2. Wounded 1.

If Grossenkreutz fired first, he’d probably also be up on charges at some point. Thing is, in the real world, he didn’t fire first. He didn’t fire his gun at all. And did Rittenhouse not shoot and kill two people before Grossenkreutz decided to aim at him?

Also, I changed the bit about him killing three people after I looked at the body count. And that was within five minutes of my originally posting. And now that I noticed I reiterated the false claim in the part Biker didn't quote and didn't change it, I have done so while I still can.
