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.It would seem based on testimony, neither of them are murderers.

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.For most of us, if you don't go looking for trouble, you're unlikely to stumble into it. Rittenhouse, much like the rioters that night, did not subscribe to that theory.

He's just so dumb. How a human can get this dumb baffles my mind.
Very true. Maybe there wasn't a curfew after all. Do you have evidence, or are you JAQing off?Fair Question:
Were you there when this happened?
The news coverage is unreliable.
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.Except, as the testimony clearly says, Grosskreutz was already pointing his gun at Rittenhouse before Rittenhouse pointed his gun at Grosskreutz.
So, Grosskreutz lied in his testimony that he had his gun pointed at Rittenhouse?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.
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?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.
Yep, thanks to the prosecution obstructing the evidence collection he was able to say that. Although it would have been far better to have a copy of the phone it will still be interesting to see what Grosskreutz's roommate-at-the-time Jacob Marshall testifies on Wednesday. I have a feeling Marshall is going to say Grosskreutz is lying.
I had not seen this before. It lends some credence to GameFace's position on Rittenhouse, though not certainty.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.
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.So, Grosskreutz lied in his testimony that he had his gun pointed at Rittenhouse?
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.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?
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.Didn't quite work out like you thought, eh? As usual, rather than admit error, you ignore it.
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.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.
Also true. Didn't the defense depose this guy? That's sloppy.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.
Thriller the racist.If Rittenhouse had been black and had rushed to kill white people, would the cops had even taken him alive?
