If there was not any people video taping this, he would be in jail for sure.

@jimmy Burnett All I saw was a man defending himself against an assault. He was not the aggressor, what vidio did you watch?

@Wyvern™ You can hold up whatever sign you want gang members do it all the time, people on social media do it all the time. The man only shot and defended himself against white dudes. The black man who assaulted him in the vidio ran away after the assault and was not shot. So what's your reasoning, makes no sense.

It’s frightening that this even went to trial, and doubly frightening that the jury took such a long time to decide not guilty.

@Jaybird oh my bad, I just realized what your reply was on. I originally thought you were responding on one of the Johnny Depp videos, my fault.

Exactly.

@havable oh man, "HE THREATENING PEEPOL!" not according to the footage...or any credible witnesses...or even the idiot who got his bicep blown off.

"frightening that this even went to trial" Murderers should always be allowed to defend themselves in court. Even murderers like Kyle Rittenhouse.

I feel bad for the people who truly believe Kyle is “evil” because of the news sources that give out misinformation or hold information

@Rondle Berik it was a riot not a protest. Protests involve marching holding up signs, chanting and such. If people are setting things on fire, breaking things and attacking people. It's a riot.

​@Rondle Berik Hmmmmm... "Assault rifle?"

@ZV still an issue tho

@Solomon Burt thats such a small issue compared to the many other issues within our government.

It amazes me to see how well Kyle does in this situation. With several armed people chasing him, bringing him to fall and attacking him, he still remains gun control and not shoot at people unless he has to defend himself.

It is honestly shocking how he was able to hold his composure in such a stressful situation of rapid events and differentiate between threats vs people who surrendered despite having advanced on him.

@CAPTAIN AMERICA did you watch the video?? The person on the stand admitted to having a Glock 22. Is that the plastic bag, or the skateboard?

Kyle’s attorneys did a great job…. The prosecutors were embarrassing.

The prosecutor was quiet and incomptetent the defense was emotional and full of outbursts throughout the trial The judge even made a racist based joke while sitting on the goddam bench It was a kangaroo court from the get-go

@zuckface göbbels who dat.

@Greg Kasza Just like A M B E R Turds Team

what prosecutors?

“It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him that he fired.” “Correct.” Sounds like self defense.

He looked at the prosecution like he was waiting for a spanking hahahahhaha

@wild moose Oh I didn't know he had a license to practice security at a place that was 2 hours drive away from him. Why did he feel the need for an assault rifle. If he would've had a handgun and this happened, I would completely understand. It just looks like he was there to hopefully have an opportunity to shoot as many humans as he can without it looking illegal and he really gambled it but he was found innocent (which he should have been in the first place) I am just saying his intentions were almost certainly nefarious with what was going on at the time.

That was not proven to happen lol

@Tadeo Bennett literally 🤣

"Audio intentionally muted for profanity." Here's a picture of a guys arm getting blown off. American moral compass at it's best.

@Tangerine Tech I do agree he acted in self-defense. However, that's irrelevant. He wouldn't have to act in self-defense and thus killing a person, if he wasn't 17 year old carrying a rifle. He had no business being there or handling weapons. The self-defense argument should have only been used to reduce his sentence which in any other developed country, besides US, would have likely been for a manslaughter charge. How am I lying?

@Maynerd I like how your trying to lie about what happened in the comments of the video proving he acted in self Defence

@pbruh what complete bollocks

Not surprising. After all, a 17 year old kid who shot a bunch of people with an AR15 walked scot-free. It's crazy!

Could watch this everyday. Watching this guy's story being completely destroyed brings a smile to my face this lawyer is epic

His parents are clapping knowing he scored a participating trophy.

@BrassBashers yeah they lucky it wasn't one of these southern towns down here. Cause wouldn't know about a riot. We be like whatcha mean riot. Nawl that's just was a couple drunks raising cane but I think they fell in there with them gators and hell we ain't heard from them since

2 felons chasing a 17 yr old kid yelling we're gonna kill you is in fact self defense

@Avery Ramos It was also about the gun, but the prosecution lied when it said the gun was illegally possessed when under WI law it was perfectly legal and the corrupt prosecutor knew it.

@boogie The child did not shoot the grown man until the grown man pointed the Glock at his face, see picture. Moments before, Rittenhouse did not shoot when Grosskreutz showed him empty hands. So you think Grosskreutz should have been allowed to shoot Rittenhouse, if Rittenhouse did not have a gun? Local law allows a 17 to carry a rifle. That is why the gun charge was dropped.

@boogie the trial wasn’t on the fact that a child had a gun, the trail was on whether he used self defense or not, I could ask you the same thing why did a felon have pistol but it doesn’t matter in the trial

@boogie yep he could have. That's what makes this country great. He had the option to go there and get shot. Or go there and help people. The man that got shot had the same option. It didn't work out so good for him. The man that got shot has blame at his own feet.

I will never forget this epic saga. Followed this literally since 2 hours after the shootings occured. Watched every clip. Every video. Watched every second of every day of the trial. What an *EPIC* story of justice winning above corruption. 👍🇺🇸😎

@Wasn't Me It's not a waste if you're learning.

definitely an angry wombat

@Omar Félix o mar mine craft calling

Wrong to call this person a victim unless referring to his own idiocy.

@Joe S Because Rittenhouse only shot those that attacked him first

@Jeremy Haimes yea but why go to a riot with the gun? You’re asking for trouble lol

The look on this dudes face when he saw that still image of him pointing the gun and then being forced to admit it; Best moment of the trial.

This never gets old, shame on this man no accountability for his on actions.

@jon doe too bad he only got two

@Mike Bridson you misunderstood the comment.

So, Rittenhouse is innocent ONLY because of irrefutable video evidence. Without this, he has no chance. I thought you were innocent until proven guilty.

The prosecutor: "Your honor, if we play the video backwards we will see Kyle Rittenhouse chasing Rosenbaum"

@ZoroVerse Sincerely nobody cares.

Hahahaaa....

Priceless 😂

Lol

correct. . .

It's impressive how well Kyle handled that situation, to only shoot three people when being rushed by half a dozen+, and to be able to quickly and efficiently decide what was and wasn't a threat. Hats off to him.

@Matt he survived though....unlike a couple in the mob that went after a kid.

@Matt ratio aka nobody care what you gotta say 🤷🏽‍♂️

he ran like a wuss

When trophy hunting season opens up I'll invite Kyle to help me adorn my wall above the fireplace with mounted leftoids!

Until I watched the trial for myself, I didn’t know the gas station where it all started and where Kyle stayed up until they started attacking him, is owned by his grandparents. They came on to his property to attack him. I didn't know that Kyle put out a dumpster fire that was being rolled down to a gas station to blow up, with people all around. I didn't know that the Police were told to stand down as businesses were destroyed. I didn't know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois. I didn't know that someone knocked Rittenhouse down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head. I didn't know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard. I didn't know Gaige Grosskreutz, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand. I also didn't know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed). I didn't know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do. I also didn't realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted child rapist and that Huber was a 2 time convicted woman beater. I didn't know that Grosskreutz was a convicted Burglar with an assault on his record also. IF THE MEDIA DID THEIR JOB... we would ALL have known this and tax payers dollars would not be wasted and more division created!

What we know is that he had every right to be there and protect the property and himself. He came out on top.

i didnt know it was uptoo a underage kid to police a crowd of protestors

In the heat of the moment when your body adrenaline is at its maximum, your being chased down, it's dark combined with all the noise and ruckus attached to the events quickly and unpredictably unfolding.. and your only seventeen yea ta old with no special force or academy training and you still are competent to handle the situation as Rittenhouse did. Seventeen or grown adult I'm sure many in that situation in those seconds being knocked off your feet sitting on your behind would have in a panic or frenzy or whatever you want to call the will of survival would have let some hot shells fly, but this young man didn't; I'm glad justice turned out for him

From an outsiders perspective, what scares me the most is kids with firearms. On the other hand it happened in a country where people think Abortion after Rape is wrong. If that is what living in a free country is like, then i'll pass on the "freedom"

That look on his face when he realized he just gave the kid an alibi. PRICELESS

I love that there is more court footage getting shared lately such good content and intriguing

Thank goodness for vidios that prove Rittenhouse was just protecting himself. I think he exhibited excellent restraint and control of his gun for such a young man. If not for the vidio evidence the people who attempted to assault him would have lied on the stand and an innocent young man would of been destroyed. For a change justice was served.

This guy's testimony alone proves self defense.

@SoCool 1😎 Actually he was given a guarantee he could not be charged with the crimes he committed that night if he testified truthfully. So they payed him with freedom.

@Oompaloompa94 Clearly you weren't paying attention. Dude had gun in his hands, but his hands were up = no shoot. Dude points gun, on video, at kid on ground and in that moment gets shot. If you can't understand that someone pointing a gun directly at you isn't a direct and immediate threat then you're beyond help.

@SoCool 1😎 nice evidence, clown

It’s frightening that this even went to trial, and doubly frightening that the jury took such a long time to decide not guilty.

EVERYTHING like this will go to TRIAL. Even if you live in a castle state and you shoot someone in your house with a gun.. Most of the time you will endure an insane court battle. Cut and dry NEVER happens anymore. Even if the guys shot dead. You might win and be free but it wont be easy... There was a gun who shot 2 home intrueders who went to jail for life. Because he felt NO mercy and was audio recording. He said some things that gave the impression of he wanted to kill them and he knew they would come like a set up. He knew his house has been targeted. so he sat in waited for them and shot them. IN HIS HOUSE! Look it up.

Feels good coming back to this after it’s all been said and done.

That criminal wasn’t a victim. He wasn’t legally allowed to have a gun yet he pointed one at Kyle. Hopefully Kyle sues him. He took his arm now he should take his money too.

@Z Jones "The state of Wisconsin is an open carry state, meaning you are legally permitted to carry a loaded weapon in public. Open carry does not require a permit or license to legally do so." Still, you should never chase somebody down with a gun, especially if you are provoking.

@Tennessee Gregario His felony conviction was expunged

Clearly you’ve never walked into a tattoo shop, vape shop, dispensary, or bar my G

You run after a man with a mob of people trying to assault him, then you draw a gun on him as he's laying on the ground.. what do you expect him to do? Take a risk that you're NOT going to shoot him, when he's ALREADY been drop-kicked in the face? Come on

He’s not a “victim” he’s an attacker that was shot by a person defending themself.

@J the perpetrator cannot be the victim...someone threatens your life and u take theirs, they aren't the victim..you are..they were the perpetrator..it's not rocket science..lol

@J H Someone's status of victimhood isn't a moral question. A woman shooting her assaulter, while entirely justified, is making them a victim of her actions. Nobody is saying she's in the wrong or the other is in the right, by any means, but the other is, definitionally, a victim. "You don't need any legal authority to put out fires" Well, you could get in trouble for getting in the way of the fire brigade. I'm not sure of the legality of that, though. The important point is intention; that's what the whole legal-system is built-off. What he did was vigilantism, his intention was chaotic and not conducive to a steady social order. However altruistic, people should be taught to not act in personal vengeance or try to solve dangerous problems themselves. "ho had the ability to safely put said fire out, by themselves, but your neighbour said he didn't want to intervene" We agree this is bad. This is really basic philosophy; as a society, we all agree that we don't want our house burned-down. There are just better options, there's no reason to want that. 'Safely' is the important point, there. Where the fire brigade cannot help, but he could, at no substantial cost to himself, he has a moral obligation to help. He would be a jerk in this instance. "putting out fires started criminally, IS good," It depends. If you're in a position where you can do so safely and trained-professionals couldn't help, you're the last resort at that time. "IS good, not just perceived good" There is no 'IS good', there is only perceived-good. "However, given his actions , it's not a stretch to say he was there to help and only defended himself" He chose to be there, crossing state-lines while armed. While he might have intended to be there to defend another, his actions were, specifically, offensive. He went out-of-his-way to take part. His intention, on this specific point, is inarguable unless you have a point for his coercion. "If he was a vigilante, more people would have been shot than just the people who attacked him" Not true. He could have wanted to be there as a deterrent/antagonist. Shooting more people isn't required to be a vigilante. Even if he was there for sinister reasons, he knows that causing a mass-shooting would, absolutely, land him with bad repercussions. "the last time you saw Batman or the Punisher stick around and turn themselves in" Because that makes a better story? That's not the goal of anyone here, this isn't a movie. Assuming he was actually trying to be good, which is a little off-kilter considering his willing media presence afterwards, his intentions are still bad. I'm willing to grant that he was trying to help, but that's not the point; he would have a warped sense of what 'helping' is. "he could have hurt WAY more people if that was his intention." Could have. Not required for being a vigilante. The alternative to 'vigilante' is 1st-degree murderer, probably not a path you want to go down. If he was not there to protect property/people, the only reasonable answer I see is to intentionally get into a fight. "the rioters should have been at home too, not looting and burning and attacking a kid" The American riots are a really difficult situation. Causing massive social upheaval can be required for some movements, and, frankly, the political state of America is moving WAY too slow; too much of it is corrupt-to-the-core. I'm not saying I support the rioting, I don't know enough to say if it's justified or not, but it's not a good idea to default to dismissing the reasoning. I will say that an organised militia is better than mass-vigilantism. From what I know, both sides are wrong in the sense that they're going about social-change and protection in heavily inefficient ways. The bottom-line is; he went there, as an individual, to take personal action instead of letting the state handle it. If he really did feel like the state was inadequate, the way to solve the problems is 'social change'. If we encourage people to go out and solve problems in this way, we'll have a community who acts as an unorganised and chaotic militia instead of civil order. It's just not a good way to manage society and his intention should be condemned, however altruistic. I'm happy to agree that he intended to do good, but his intentions weren't good, pointless at best.

@Capybara Capybara I think dehumanizing people is abhorrent as well, but it's actually people who call the attackers he shot victims who dehumanize the kid. A rapist shot by a woman he was trying to assault is not a "victim of the woman's actions", that's disgusting to even argue morally, let alone legally. As for your points: What was non-legal about his intervention? You don't need any legal authority to put out fires. Also, putting out a fire is not "intervening" in a crime. Physically trying to stop someone from *committing* arson would be intervention, but that's not what he did. I'd argue, and I think most reasonable people would, putting out fires started criminally, *IS* good, not just *perceived* good. If your property caught on fire, even by accident, and no one was around but your neighbor, who had the ability to safely put said fire out, by themselves, but your neighbor said he didn't want to intervene because he didn't want to force his perception of good on you, and you lose everything - is your neighbor right, or is he a jerk? Agreed, no one knows the kids motivations, including you. However, given his *actions* , it's not a stretch to say he was there to help and only defended himself. If he was a vigilante, more people would have been shot than just the people who attacked him. There were CROWDS of rioters, and yet only 3 were shot, and he turned himself in immediately. When was the last time you saw Batman or the Punisher stick around and turn themselves in after doing vigilantism? I'm obviously joking, but he'd suck as a vigilante, and with how he handled that rifle, he could have hurt WAY more people if that was his intention. To be clear, I don't feel bad for the kid for what he went thru on trial... He was a kid, he should have been at home, he's even said as much himself. That said, the rioters should have been at home too, not looting and burning and attacking a kid, so I don't feel bad for the people he shot. They all reaped what they sowed. If they were all doing what they SHOULD have been doing and not what they COULD do, there would have been 3 less people shot, and the kid wouldn't have gone thru what he did. All that said, one was a child molester so, calling that one human is a stretch. Someone liked my comment which brought me back to this thread 🤣🤣🤣

@bluemenace04 "he was there just to try and deter people from destroying the business he was familiar with" What? Extra-judicial, non-legal intervening in a crime for a perceived sense of good? There's a word for that! "He also didn't cross state lines" I didn't say he did. "he wouldn't be helping anyone" You don't know his motivations. "Don't be so salty that some kid defended himself." I'm not. I support the ruling. I just don't support the abhorrence of dehumanising people. Something you seem comfortable with. It's how easily you're willing to dehumanise people that I take issue with, not the case.

@Capybara Capybara morality. Lol. That's rich. If you paid ANY attention to as many sides of the story that you could, you'd know he was there just to try and deter people from destroying the business he was familiar with. He also didn't cross state lines as many people say and he was there helping people. I promise you, if he embraced being a vigilante, he wouldn't be helping anyone and the body count would've been much higher. Don't be so salty that some kid defended himself. Its our God given right to defend ourselves, even you have the right to defend yourself if you don't believe in rights.

Kyles attorneys were so cutthroat and I loved every second of it. It’s a JOKE that this even went to court in the first place.

Guy was sick to his stomach having to say yes at the end of all of that😂

This testimony was so critical to the case. The reason why Kyle has been acquitted cause although he killed a few people, he did it all in self-defense and all these videos proved it. Most people who are charged even though they only killed because they were trying to defend themselves don't have video documentary like this to acquit them. They have to depend on their lawyer to draw the picture out for them and sometimes the prosecutor draws a better picture regardless if it is true or not cause it's a he said/she said trial.

Classic case of someone wanting to be right for lack of a better term "Just cause."

@Jake Cole horrible take. You can debate day whether or not he should’ve been there in the first place. But the fact of the matter was he was charged with a crime and by legal definition, he didn’t commit that crime because he was acting in self defense

@Jake Cole Not anyone that approaches you... Just people that attack you.

@Jake Cole If you wanted to do this you can as long as you can prove that it is self defense...go right ahead if you want to put yourself in that situation. More power to you!

@Jake Cole Your ridiculous made up scenario isn't even remotely comparable to this. Try being unbiased for one minute of your life.

People need to watch this video before making any judgements one way or another. This is probably the single most convincing and educational video about this case.

If this happened 20 years ago without cell phone videos and such, he'd be found guilty just by the ridiculous amount of lies and misinformation presented by the prosecution. Disgusting.

@KeShia Moore WE

@Unoriginal Egg The Derek Chauvin case was likely the same way. Granted, he did end up pleading guilty to certain charges, but still.

These people are supposed to be impartial and neutral. They’re prosecutors, not lawyers! It’s clear they held a large bias that affected how they did their jobs in enforcing the law.

@Introspective Housewife it's always been that way. Only difference now is that you see people doing it because of the videos and pictures etc etc.

Interestingly enough, I was watching this live on YouTube that night. It was interesting following the aftermath and how the story was delivered by the media. It was completely different from what had watched live.

"That looks like my bicep being vaporized" "Okay. And it's being vaporized while you have your gun pointed directly at him, yes?" "Correct." LMFAO

If only the prosecutor was sent to prison along with this clown, justice would have been done. That kid should never have been charged. I have little if any faith in the integrity of law enforcement or the judicial system when they deliberately miscarry cases like this for political reasons. For the record the police officers who were complicit in failing to collect evidence and omitting testimony ought to be fired or imprisoned as well. I am a recently retired police officer myself and their conduct is unacceptable

He's not a "victim" he was an assailant.

Fun fact: 100% of the people that did not attack Kyle Rittenhouse were not shot.

@Matthew Moore That's a really good point. I bet Reginald Oliver Denny could have something to say about that. Imagine if he could have protected himself.

@Bruh Momento you can be neutral and still have a spine Yanno. Pathetic how weak people are today.

JFK didn't attack Kyle, yet still got shot. Check mate.

These attorneys did a great job.

The look on his face at the end. It never gets old.

As soon as he testified that Rittenhouse didn't fire until he pointed the gun at him, the trial was over. The prosecution should've saved face right there and ended it.

I am still amazed at Kyles composure and ability to only fire at the people trying to kill him. I know guys who are experts in firearm safety that probably would have just fired until all these people were dead, hats off to Kyle and his obvious respect for life.

@therealBearminator I feel that if a kid is responsible, they should be able to shoot, but not have easy access to guns. Always a controlled environment, and to prevent Kyle from randomly taking a rifle to Kenosha

@Will Mobley Hopefully they don't give firearms to kids. Dunno if thats part of the official american "safety expert" training. I come from a country where civilians don't have firearms. You know what that means? Here people doesn't get shot. You can consider us "safety experts". (Completely removing the "Lose their composure" element)

You know some real psycho experts, huh?

When Grosskreutz raised his hands, Rittenhouse dropped his aim to the ground. Then, when Grosskreuts raised his weapon, Rittenhouse raised his weapon and fired into Grosskreutz's weapon-arm, neutralizing the threat. The video shows everything.

@Shane Mesch 1

@jacqueline Nobriga You’re commenting on a clip that shows he was being attacked while running away…………………….. the ‘victim’ (aka guy standing over him with a loaded gun pointed at his head) basically guides us through why he was shot. Did you watch the clip you’re commenting on?

Grosskreutz is lucky he is here telling his story

@Alec Burns Kyle is not and was not an EMT. I was commenting on Grosskreutz not Kyle. He classified Kyle as an active shooter therefore he shouldn't have been so close to Kyle because of the reasons I explained in my previous comment. Also was responding to your question whether or not Grosskreutz should have attempted to help Huber. If Grosskreutz believed Kyle to be an active shooter then he should have kept his distance then attempted to help Huber once Kyle had left. I was essentially calling Grosskreutz reckless. Kyle, I believe was justified in reason of self defense, but he made many bad decisions that lead to him being in those unfortunate and most likely misunderstood tragic situations which could have been avoided IMO.

@MadGravestoneCutter I wasn't defending Kyle as an emt ^_^" I didn't say any of that.

I know it was easy to prove but man that lawyer setup it up perfectly

*That awkward moment when your own previous actions caught on camera are testimony against yourself in someone else's trial for doing what you actually did first to provoke them*

@Salty Navy he actually told a different story later on that night on CNN and the judge learned about it the next day.

While telling the media a diffrent story weeks and days before.

It was at this point of the trial I knew to a 100% certainty Rittenhous would be acquitted. That was an absolutely devastating cross-examination.

When I saw this guy I knew, I just knew he was a pos. Virtue signaling after trying to kill a man. Are we not all Americans? Why would you do this to your own people? This entire trial makes me sick.

Fun fact. This guy got pulled over for DUI and got arrested after he refused a field sobriety test. That case was thrown out because he agreed to testify

So why exactly isn't this "victim" going to be prosecuted for the attempted murder of Kyle Rittenhouse?

@DashDa5h can apply this logic to "debates" on the Internet too lol

@Alexander Supertramp intent matters, rocket scientist

@James A. N O T G U I L T Y. Cope

@James A. dont think you know the definition of murder.. but good try

Obviously altered video footage! I’m surprised they accepted it as evidence! The world is broken!

The dude that got shot in the arm should have been charged with all kinds of crimes! Attempted murder, harrassment, intimidation, a felon with a gun....

Outstanding job Kyle. He reacted better at 17 years of age than many people I know in the military.

Good to see the justice system work. Too many videos were put out of all their lies. Granted Kyle shouldnt have been out there like that to begin with but it was clearly self defense. I wouldve done the same thing if I was being attacked by a whole block full of people

This dude is playing “victim” but that defense just ripped him apart. He even paused on himself seeing the rationality of the situation.

@Mark angelo Medriano unless he fires the gun it's not attempted murder

@Hunter von Felden unless the weapon is fired. its not attempted murder. just brandishing a firearm.

@Deckard Cain until he actually fires the weapon its just brandishing a firearm.

We should have been charged lying to the court

He is lucky to be alive, by his own actions, yet he is still trying his best to hold back the clear truth presented to him.

The amount of restraint Kyle had that night is respectable, many people in the same situation would not have been so kind on trigger control the second they started getting pumbled.

You have to commend him for telling the truth I guess. I mean he lied at first, but when presented with the evidence he had no choice but to agree.

Why is that guy not on trial?

That Rittinhouse should have never been kidnapped. (Arrested). All involved with causing him all the physical damages should be tried for treason and other crimes they committed against him. Yes that includes the judge.

He was shooting those that were a threat, and if you corner someone and are threatening them be prepared to get taken out.

That was the moment in the trial that changed everything.

This is why it is vital our legal system needs to be protected and why accusatory witnesses MUST be cross-examined. Otherwise people get jailed on lies and we are back to the witch trials.

Imagine how different the world would be if the media was honest and trustworthy.

Good job exposing everything to let a innocent man be free hats off to Kyle

Kyle did the right thing as a self defender.

Its unfortunate anyone had to be shot. Logic dictates when you pull a gun on someone always expect an equal to excessive opposite reaction. Considering the mob like mentality of the "protesters" nearby im suprised Rittenhouse showed as much restraint as he did.

When you can afford Jeff Bezos as your lawyer you are doing very very well whatever charge is against you

“That is my bicep getting vaporized”. This is perhaps is the most eye-rollish statement I have ever heard in my life. I legitimately got secondhand embarrassment for this guy. So let me get this straight, Mr. tough guy, you bring a gun to go riot with and you advance on somebody who is on the ground and you pull your weapon and you get shot in the arm and instead of taking responsibility for a bunch of bonehead actions, you try to garner sympathy because your arm got “vaporized”. You intentionally used a hyperbolic term because you have this victimized narrative of what happened. I’ve never been more embarrassed for somebody before in my life. Be a man and take responsibility for the fact that you got exactly what was coming to you.

Have you seen the pictures? It’s a fairly good assessment.. the entire bicep was in fact turned into Vapour.

Secondhand embarrassment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Lord Grinch He wasn't standing up to anyone. He constantly just retreated and only used his gun to defend his own life.

Rittenhouse house had every right to defend himself as the law states. He had tremendous control at every moment of this horrific situation giving them ample time to turn away and leave him alone I commend this young man. What would you do if you had a gun pointed at your head and you had a gun also I’m sure you would defend yourself at any cost.

Well, duh, of course. That's what you see on TV and in movies. When someone is shooting people you either point a gun at them and tell them to 'drop it' or you shoot back. This guy didn't shoot back, so they're gonna put him on trial for not shooting back?

"Isn't it true, when you mess with a bull, you get the horns?" "Correct."

Wish you had included his lawyer doing a double facepalm after he said that he was shot after pointing his gun at Kyle. Priceless!

The prosecutor should be embarrassed for bringing this case to court and should be reprimanded. You don’t prosecute someone because the media and/or public opinion wants them to be prosecuted.

@S am how about you frame the question this way instead: "Americans, if only government dogs (military and police) and criminals had guns, wouldn't it be better?" 🙄

@Clau007 Capitol Hill events? Bruh... How many times were you hit on the head as a kid? An eagle has TWO wings... Didn't you learn in grade school that the elite wear purple robes? What two colors mix to give you purple? 🙄

I love when lawyers make u look stupid and tell on yourself! Lol

this hands down has to be the PERFECT example of self defense! rule 1 never draw on a drawn gun!

This puts faith back in the legal system.

The liar being questioned needs jail-time.

“So you attacked him holding a Glock pistol?” “Correct” “He didn’t fire until you pointed your gun at him from just feet away and he is on the ground?” “Correct” …How the hell is this not self defense? 🤬

@Lane AWD post your law information credentials so we can verify! I say you haven’t got a clue!

The guy has an eye cue of 6. He testifies against himself on trial, out loud. He doesn't even realize it when he says it.

@Catch 22 Apparently he had superior training, He shot ONLY those that were an immediate threat, not mentioned here is two of those attempted to take Kyle's weapon, if that were me I would be on trial for shooting them. No one has the right to disarm a person unless you are law enforcement. The Court found he was in Legal possession of the AR-15 according to Wisconsin State Law, he was NOT pointing his weapon at random people either. Yet you act as though you know everything. I served in the Air Force Security Police securing Nuclear weapons, we had authorization to shoot first, ask questions later. Kyle had the discipline to only shoot those being a threat to him, once one guy put up his hands Kyle did NOT pull the trigger!! The videos showed everything, the court looked at the laws and the jury gave a verdict, Live with it!!! I'll make a bet you didn't even watch the trial or the videos, all 50 states allow a person to shoot a person for attempting to disarm them even if the carriage of that weapon was illegal. Get your facts straight and stop listening to the news, they are worthless!!!!!

It’s unfortunate the shot that hit this guy Gaige wasn’t between his eyes.

I find it amusing how ridiculous it is that they have to mute the audio bc it contains profanity while showing a video of people getting shot, America is wild 😅🤣

I got 30 days facebook jail for saying Kyle was innocent. Thank the lord these videos exist not only for my facebook freedom but for the freedom of this innocent boy.

IF you LIE and your LIES could put someone in JAIL for life.... You should be going to JAIL for a Long time. Not life... But lets say 3 years No bs. Then you need to pay the victim for Lost wages and defamation you created on him with LIES.

imagine starting a fight, losing and then whine and complain for months that you were a victem

@John J 💯

@cjay2 nope, watch whole video in context instead of fox propaganda if you want to know.

@Kelly Robinson is she a Virgo? By any chance?

Amazing that there are still people who think that this is injustice. ... what planet do they live on....

😩 “I pointed a gun at someone and they shot me !!!” 😭

Him turning to the jury every anwser is infuriating

It's getting harder to defend yourself in court with the truth on your side, fighting a narrative.

The whole trial was an embarrassment for the state of Wisconsin. Self defense isn't a crime. Political motivated prosecutions are disgusting.

@Some Guy "Not sure what you're watching" I am only commenting on the event, this video, and on this original comment.

@djaceman123 copy and pasting or at least mentioning what you are talking about would help yes. It's good that society allows you to say something is a joke. Not sure why you are mentioning that, but cool. I don't know which comment(s) you are reading where someone concludes "my opinion matters" but also neat. Pretty sure most people feel their opinion matters. Clearly, we both do or we wouldn't waste our time here. Glad you like to laugh at others' opinions though. Also a neat mention. I seriously have no clue at this point what you are trying to say to me. You keep mentioning things I haven't brought up as though you are debating with me on something.

@No Name Do I really need to copy and paste your own comments to you in order to make my argument? It seems as though you are the one with dementia. Or you realize your attempt to play devil's advocate failed and now you are feigning ignorance. Society also allows me to say yours or anyone else's opinion is a joke. You see how that works? I wasn't saying people can't have an opinion. I was saying the conclusion that their opinion matters on this in the first place is laughable.

So this "victim" could've went to trial and be convicted of attacking Kyle? If so they should still press charges on this idiot who thinks it's ok to point guns at someone and then is surprised when gets shot.

I'd like to know why this guy wasn't charged with felony possession of a firearm and attempted murder. This guy is a convicted felon, he went to the riots to create chaos, violence, damage. He has with held information, tried to cover up the fact he had a gun, and he was the aggressor.

It’s so strange that this part of the trial was never shown on left wing media.

I'll always remember some long conversations I endured with a high school classmate, poly sci college student, and Bernie supporter who was serving community service where I worked. First about how he rolled a Camaro through a median going 100 and barely avoided heading into oncoming traffic (due to his deft wheelwork). Then something about an AR he maybe had. Then..."how big is the motor in this f550?" (same size as the f250...). Then something about getting out of his car and telling the cop what for who pulled him over for the DUI that resulted in community service...then something again about how he and a group of people kicked the crap out of someone in a bar during college or what have you. Then on to Bush Sr. being responsible for the Kennedy assassination(s) and 9/11. Frankly as a student I wish I could remember more important things like Bernoulli's equation for fluids, but that conversation stuck in my mind for some reason. It's the same feeling you get watching a lesbian couple argue about who didn't do the dishes on Jerry Springer.

Ironically, the guy testifying against Rittenhouse proved him innocent.

He was compelled to prove Kyle's innocence because he had the video footage right there for the. lawyer To walk in through the events.

Vapor Man!

Yeah he basically was on Kyle’s side he even said he was going after Kyle with malicious intent (obviously not out right saying he was out to kill him but yk) if you’re running after someone with a gun it’s a pretty bad look for you

if the prosecution is a twit, you must aquit xD

The legal system in the USA is so broken for taking this to this extent! Shame on the DA 👎

Watching this again this was a master class in defense cross examination. Law schools should teach classes on this.

When was the last time you saw a DA, on a government salary, come to court every day with a DIFFERENT $3,000 suit??? CLOWN SHOW

Thank god these prosecutors were so incompetent and the judge was fair.

He's a pretty good example of exactly what's wrong with nearly half of this country, no matter what they do they always see themselves as "victims".

@Bryans Ghost Ya, please don't take away my AK. I need it for squirrel hunting. If all you could buy is a rifle that you had to pack the gun powder in it manually, the world would be a much better place.

@great like elvis eh And whenever anyone speaks about changing the wild west, they cry and say YOURE TAKING MY AMERICA!!!!! MY AMERICAAAAAA!!! MY AMERICA!!!". We live in the future, homie. change is good.

@Randal Weaver ... u should probably read my comment again and the person im replying to

@OhRightOk First of all, he did have the right to be there. Second, you can't beat or shoot him just because you think "he didn't have the right to be there". Third, Kyle allegedly "not having a right to be there" does not take away his right to self defense.

This guy attempted an execution and they prosecuted the victim.

Such videos are crucial, because they do show real life without any preparation by anyone. Kyle did defend himself, that guy has nothing to put against it

What boggles my mind is why weren't these people prosecuted for attacking Kyle!?

The best part is… Gage will have to wake every single day and have a constant reminder that he, and everyone else who watched the trial, knows he is an pathological liar. He is a repsentation of the professional victim mentally that is engrained in a lot of people today… they push right to the razors edge then throw their hands up, hoping you react so they can play the victim role.

He isn't a shooting victim, he is a convicted felon who attempted to commit murder. No victimhood to be seen.

@Sean Craig The Canadian courts let the bus killer change his name afterward. He has a white guy name now, I forget what it is.

@Nayr747 No, it's called years of personal experience in policing and self defense issues. It's called critical thinking. It's called rational thought. It's called, leaving my emotions at the door and ONLY looking at the facts of the case. Oh and lastly, it's called "burden of proof, beyond a reasonable doubt". Something that was not even remotely met.

@Little Gray It's called denial.

@Nayr747 I have. You’re wrong.

@Little Gray Why are you even commenting when you don't know the first thing about this case? Watch the reenactment of the entire thing, watch the videos more closely, and then get back to me.
