I'm not going to pretend that I know why Rittenhouse brought a gun or what he thought he was accomplishing. You could be right.

He's a kid. I think that often gets lost. He's a kid, and kids don't always make the best decisions. What I think is unconscionable is how Big Tech has conspired against him to ban any positive mention on their platforms, how GoFundMe shut down the effort to provide him a legal defense, how a Salt Lake City reporter sought to shut down any fundraising by using his platform on a TV station to shame a donor, nearly all media broadcasting a narrative that contained many falsehoods against him, how the President of the United States before the trial had happened said the evidence was overwhelming and wanted Rittenhouse quickly prosecuted. He's a kid.

Well, I can create a link that leads to more than an icon.
The BLM rallies were on August 24, during the day, and respected the 8pm curfew. The Rittenhouse shooting occurred at night, August 25, after 11:40pm.

Very true. Maybe there wasn't a curfew after all. Do you have evidence, or are you JAQing off?

I've seen the video, blown up, in frame-by-frame slow motion, many, many times. Grosskreutz never got his gun trained on Rittenhouse. He thought he had an opening, came out of his hand-up stance, moved to point his gun at Rittenhouse, but got shot before the he got aimed. The photo I showed is as close as Grosskreutz ever got.
As far as the whole "re-racking" garbage, it never happened. Rittenhouse's gun never misfired. Rittenhouse never "re-racked" it to clear the misfire. That whole thing was a fiction. I know this because I know how guns work. If you "re-rack", that is to say pull back the charging handle, it ejects the unspent round to chamber a new one. It doesn't fix the cartridge to reinsert it so that now it will fire. It doesn't disintegrate the dud. Law Enforcement was very thorough, everything was cordoned off, especially the area were the shooting took place, and the evidence collection was performed. Where that supposed "re-rack" happened was where both Huber and Grosskreutz were shot. You know what Field Evidence Technicians didn't find? An unspent round! They have the brass from every shot Rittenhouse fired. There is no unspent round. There was no "re-rack". Either Grosskreutz was straight-up lying or Grosskreutz was mistaken and thought that was what Rittenhouse was doing which would explain why he thought he had an opening to shoot.

So, Grosskreutz lied in his testimony that he had his gun pointed at Rittenhouse?
So, Grosskreutz is lying to make Rittenhouse look better (by saying the gun was pointing at Rittenhouse when it wasn't)? That's your current position?
'I Lied' on Social Media: Former Roommate Says Gaige Grosskreutz Never Said His 'Only Regret Was Not Killing' Kyle Rittenhouse
A former roommate and friend of Gaige Grosskreutz testified that he lied on social media about a quote he attributed to Grosskreutz the day after Kyle Rittenhouse shot and wounded Grosskreutz in Aug. 2020. Grosskreutz was the only person who survived being shot by Rittenhouse; two others died.

Didn't quite work out like you thought, eh? As usual, rather than admit error, you ignore it.
I had not seen this before. It lends some credence to GameFace's position on Rittenhouse, though not certainty.
Kyle Rittenhouse was recorded weeks before the Kenosha shooting saying he wished he 'had my f---ing AR' to shoot at people leaving CVS, prosecutors say
Kenosha prosecutors say a new video provides "crucial insight" into Kyle Rittenhouse's vigilante state of mind in summer 2020.

It depends on what you mean by "pointed at". If you only believe a gun is pointed at someone if when the trigger is pulled the bullet would hit the person, then it didn't get there. If you believe aiming in the general direction, as opposed to aiming at the ground, aiming at the sky, etc, then it was. The litmus test is the photo. That is as close as it got. If that is pointing at Kyle then it is. If you don't think that is pointing at Kyle then it isn't.
Grosskreutz didn't say what he did to help Rittenhouse. Just the opposite. Grosskreutz is trying to claim his loaded gun didn't represent a threat to Rittenhouse because if it had then he would have fired. Much like the phantom "re-rack", it is a fiction belied by the evidence.
That is true. It didn't. I don't know why if the roommate was going to recant what he said, that he would be a defense witness.

If Rittenhouse had been black and had rushed to kill white people, would the cops had even taken him alive?

It isn't a new video, but yes prosecutors are claiming it provides insight and the whole thing might be declared a mistrial because of it. The motion for a mistrial was filed today in court, and it is because the prosecution was given specific instructions not to introduce this video. If you look at all the news media saying the judge yelled at prosecution, this is what it was about.I had not seen this before. It lends some credence to GameFace's position on Rittenhouse, though not certainty.

A gun is even less of a threat when it is not pointing at someone.
Also true. Didn't the defense depose this guy? That's sloppy.
