How Kyle Rittenhouse and Joseph Rosenbaum's paths crossed in a fatal encounter | Visual Forensics

In a summer roiled by protests for racial justice, Kenosha, Wis., moved into the national spotlight in August after a White police officer shot a Black man named Jacob Blake seven times in the back.
Peaceful protests during the day were followed by rioting and civil unrest at night. Just before midnight on Aug. 25, tensions peaked when a 17-year-old named Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum. Moments later, Rittenhouse shot two other men, one fatally.
Rittenhouse was arrested and charged with multiple counts of homicide and weapons offenses, but right-wing groups have rallied to his cause, celebrating him as a hero who sought to protect Kenosha from destructive rioting and who fired in self-defense. The events have become a litmus test for a deeply divided nation.
A Washington Post examination of video and police records, along with other documents, sheds new light on the mindsets of the two people principally involved. The Post found that Rittenhouse, who was too young to buy a rifle, had arranged for an adult friend to buy the weapon for him using money Rittenhouse had received from a government stimulus program. The Post interviewed Rittenhouse, who spoke publicly for the first time since his arrest. He said he did not regret that he had a gun that night.
The examination also reveals new details about Rosenbaum’s struggles with mental illness and includes the first on-camera interview with his fiancee, Kariann Swart. Watch the video to hear Rittenhouse talk about his intentions that night and to learn more about the paths that brought both men to a tragic encounter.

I would say this about the father, he failed his son miserably. He raised a man that was dumber than a can of soup. I don't think they would have contributed to society. And if Huber really felt that Rittenhouse was dangerous he should have rode his skateboard to the nearest cop and point out Rittenhouse as a shooter.

These blows probably led to his fall and greatly increased his fear for his life as the mob descended upon him. It's obvious to me that Kyle didn't _want_ to shoot anyone that night.

Rittenhouse didn’t fall - you omitted the other video. He was chased down, struck in the back of the head with a skateboard and then a rock, forcing him to collapse. Then a man attempts to stomp his head, and does, before Huber hits him in the head with a skateboard for a second time while attempting to take his gun with his other hand. Finally, Grosskreutz points an (illegal) Glock firearm at his head. Only people who chased Kyle down, cornered him, and severely attacked him were shot. Anyone who stopped pursuing him or used anything less than deadly force was not shot at. Self defense. Worth noting that all four men who chased him down and used deadly force against him, had violent criminal histories. All four had committed some form of battery in their past. Three had battered woman, children and/or the elderly and/or committed breaking and entering. One was a child molester, who molested five boys ages 9 to 11.

British, very left wing. A heavily armed child decided to play cop. He went looking for trouble and he found it in the form of a violent, mentally ill man. The man attacked him. Rittenhouse was clearly defending himself with Rosenbaum. After that, it became a tragedy of perceptions and poor decisions. Huber, Gluck et al saw what they perceived to be an active shooter. Rittenhouse running away added to that perception. A group of people chased Rittenhouse, trying to be 'the good guys with a gun' taking down an active shooter. Rittenhouse believed they were just attacking him. Thr kid is no hero, and it is insane that the US do not have laws that prevrnt this type of vigilante behaviour, but under Wisconsin law he seems to have a solid case (obviously excluding the unlawful possession of a firearm, which insanely is just a misdemenor.)

HOW CAN YOU FORGET THE PART WHERE THE ONE THAT WAS SHOT IN THE ARM HAD A GUN

[@NicoleSandersNAU]

but he did not pull it out. Having a gun does not mean you are threatening the life of someone, or else cops could just shoot us all in AZ, but its when you pull it out and point it that legal standing changes in the moment. So the person shot who had a handgun is irrelevant as he did not threaten to use it. The kid panicked. Its not murder(s) its involuntary manslaughter(s) of which due to the loss of life from him having an unlawful weapon (in loss of life in the commission of a felony of any kind is manslaughter or higher in our courts, no mater how accidental. In fact even if a cop accidentally kills a bystander while trying to apprehend you for an alleged felony, you get time for that.) So by the law he will do some time, but it should be a short sentence as there was no premeditation or intent to harm. A fair jury using the legal code and not emotion, would give him 1-7 years, with the ability to parole early for good behavior if tried as an adult. If tried as a juvenile he should only be looking at 6-24 months. It was a tragedy, the people chasing him really thought he just murdered a man (they had no way to know it was likely self defense) and they likely were just going to apprehend him for the police, which is why one of the victims chasing did NOT pull out his gun, but they were shot when the kid panicked. 1 innocent life was lost, 1 not so innocent life of a just released form the mental institution that day, and one kids freedom, and one person was injured. It was a terrible 5 minutes, that altered a lot of lives.
