Possible Sentence: Max: Life in Prison Without Parole (WI does not have the DP)
JURY CHOSEN IN ONE DAY. 20 jurors have been selected in WI v. Kyle Rittenhouse. 9 men and 11 women. (8 are alternates)
Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 26, and Anthony Huber, 26, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 27. Prosecutors say that Rittenhouse, then 17 and from Illinois, was a vigilante looking for a fight. He, like other right-wingers, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin ostensibly to protect property. This happened as protests over police shooting local man Jacob Blake turned violent. Rittenhouse’s attorneys assert he was acting in self-defense. This case became a cause célèbre among conservatives.
Prosecutors have struggled in court, failing to introduce evidence of prior aggressive behavior. This included evidence showing him attacking a woman who was in an altercation with his sister. The other is that he was closely linked to the violent, far-right Proud Boys organization.
Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder said an appellate court would reverse him if he allowed these in trial. The evidence was too prejudicial, he said. He left it up in the air whether he would allow footage showing someone identified as Rittenhouse discussing a Black man exiting a CVS pharmacy. Rittenhouse believed the man was shoplifting.

If you chase someone with a gun, you should expect that you may get shot.
My exact thought! Why are u running towards the guy with the gun
He was lying.
@@ulalaupepa8558 Rittenhouse was lying that he was getting chased? It was on video! How do Huber and Grosskuetz make contact with him if they are aren't chasing him. That the mob chased him seems to be one of the less disputable claims of the trial.
Liberals are not very smart, look who they elected
De respawn sea bill La tea is own de gun owner Knott two shoot a unarmed man. Width great power comes great respawn sea bill La tea. You Kent say, He new eye had a gun,So it's his fault. De death is own de armed purr sun.
The prosecutor asked if Kyle had time to call 911, did any of the people he shot stop and call 911 before they chased?
Yes as if the DA would not know that 911 was no option. I hate this DA
After shooting someone. He had time to call his friend so he did have time to call 911.

Impressed with the kid. How the case ever got to court is beyond me, and how that prosecutor has a job is even more unreal.
Agreed!!
@@grantsmittkamp1757 Prosecutor trying to be elected as a Democrat by winning this case, that's why he's so desperately clutching for straws.
He took this case for political favors. This is a near-impossible win for prosecution. I must say, God was in control of Kyle’s responses. He made the prosecution look dumb without even trying!
The lead detective in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is the nephew of the mayor, and the DA prosecuting Kyle is the mayor's first cousin

This is ridiculous why on earth is this young man on trial. He should walk

@@jwatson181 ya let’s all listen to the alpha and omega James west from CZcams
When the prosecutor keeps asking if he thought the guy that grabbed the gun by the barrel was scared as well, being the gun was pointed at him.
My first thought was he wasn’t scared enough to not grab a loaded weapon to begin with. Scared people usually run the other way.
Exactly...Kyles defense is I was scared and defending myself but he had the gun...he was not running away...he showed up a kid with a cool gun and left a killer...whether he was just defending himself or not

Think about how many lives this prosecutor has ruined.

@@user-bw5pk1ep9z you can say the same for the people he shot
This woke prosecutor should be sued
Sarcasm disclaimer; how dare this young fella a) defend himself, and b) - unlike the violent, armed and unarmed lawless agitators who he encountered - be effective in his use of self- defence. Please ask yourself what right these violent agitators had in occupying, armed and unarmed, the public streets to lawlessly intimidate the general public, vandalise and criminally damage private property night after night, with impunity. The exposed criminal pedigrees of the individual agitators tells me all I need to know about the righteousness of their objectives. Why is their lawlessness protected? Don't worry that was a rhetorical question. Legally, and morally Kyle took instant, reflex and extreme actions to defend his life. His life was clearly threatened, he got the best of his assailants. Granted, as an immature inexperienced over zealous young man, he should have been home in bed, and not in the position he put himself in. It is what it is, but we need to talk more about the idea that radical, armed social hostile elements of society, seem to be granted a free pass to overtake public areas and to crap on and provoke law abiding sections of society.
By bringing a military style weapon to a demonstration where the cops only had pistols. He's a clueless teenager sucked in by alt right wing proud boys incitement
This prosecutor is a huge stain on our court system. It’s simply embarrassing
He went there to be a vigilante he had no real reason to be in that environment with a AR15
Anyone who runs after an armed person could become a casualty.
@Brian anderson The SCOTUS is hearing arguments from a pro gun group in NY to determine whether the concealed carrying permit process is preventing citizens from the right to carry. They will determine if Shall Issue or May Issue is illegal.
@Brian anderson It will be a landmark decision if Shall Issue stands.
And that person might end up spending trial (as in this case.) Guns aren't toys and actions have consequences 🤷♂️
Anyone knowingly going into an area of strife with a weapon, IS a danger to the people of that area and himself. Rittenhouse needs to face punishment for bad decisions.
Anyone an armed person is running towards could also become a casualty that's why they tried to get the gun off of him
Prosecutor: if you point a gun at someone who is chasing you because you feel your life is in danger then what do you think that person feels like when you pointed that gun at him" What in God's name am I watching here! This is called self defense and if we aren't allowed to defend ourselves then just WOW.. we just get beat to death by someone's bare hands I guess and that's called justice in America. The media painted this kid to be monster! Shame on all of them! Disgusting!
I don't understand this blood thirsty American mindset. If you are the one(in plain clothes) running around with the assault rifle in any scenario, then you are the threat that needs to be dealt with by any means necessary.

@@Songs-lr4wt You mean Kyle is guilty but the prosecutor do not able to proof his guilt?
I like this Judge..he trys to lighten the mood and stands by his oath and the law. Good job
Isn't the main prosecutor's argument that Kyle Rittenhouse was a vigilante? Yet they scold him for not wanting to chase and subdue an armed suspect that is fleeing a mob that is yelling they shot someone? Did I get that right, how is that not a blatant contradiction? Putting out fires and deterring people from looting and causing property damage isn't vigilantism.
Nice corgi, mine died earlier this year, nice dogs,big personallitys
Why is his cars being worth something relevant your argument literally makes no since and has no argument behind it
@@Cat-kq5qg If you watched the trial (you clearly didn't) you'd know why that matters. The owners of the car lot asked Kyle to be there, to help keep the car lot safe, ergo, Kyle wasn't just there randomly to be a vigilante, but was asked to be there for a specific reason, which completely destroys the prosecutions argument that he was there to purposefully kill people. There's phone recordings of these requests by the by, but the car lot owners are clearly trying to commit insurance fraud over the event so they lied on the stand saying they didn't ask him to be there. The car lot owners credibility was brought into question by the defense to show that they're liars who will do anything to cover up the fact that they tried to claim far FAR more on their insurance then now.
@@mikemyers7539 I am sorry to hear that, rest its little soul :(
The only thing Kyle did was put out a few small fires, and do first aid a few times. He wasnt protecting the properties, he even acknowledged that he couldnt do anything about that, legally.

This prosecutor should be fired, and put in jail, he has committed so many fallacies against Rittenhouse it's not even funny, he has brought up evidence that was not allowed to be presented. He has badgered the witness a multitude of times.

And this is now our Justice System? This Prosecutor is not after Justice or the Truth. He's there to do anything he can get away with and convict an innocent man that had to protect himself. This is absolutely disgraceful.
Which is exactly why people say there is no justice in our justice system.
It’s not about truth. It’s to implant doubt even if the crime is obvious.
It is downright scary. It's extremely obvious this kid acted in self defense and should never have been prosecuted. Everything is on video. We don't need to speculate. We know what happened to this poor child. I wish our judicial system would prosecute actual criminals these days. There are so many options being ignored currently, yet innocent people are going through things like this. So much for "justice for all".

@@horse-lover68 If we see it, I'm sure they see it.
A lot of people don't understand how much grey area the Wisconsin self defense law has. In my humble opinion he should not be convicted of any sort of murder, but maybe an unlawful possession of a firearm as a minor. I full heartily believe he acted in rightful self defense.
Rittenhouse was told NOT to go in the specific area where he ran down the strret into crowd aiming a power rifle. Watch the FBI videos shown. Kyle lied he was an EMT to go into the area he was warned to stay away. Kyle was the only active shooter and he was the one attacking the crowd. Smirking during hearing than the scopath show started where he faked his drama act.
@@fenderblue9485 Idk if you’re from the USA but in this country we are allowed to go wherever we want on public property. It doesn’t matter who told him to stay anywhere because he is free to use public access EVERYTHING unless they have been gated off and protected. Also, if that voice that told him to stay in XYZ was so powerful then why didn’t it work when everyone else was told to stay home? Or was everyone else told to stay home?
Why wasn’t he “allowed” to use the same public roads while criminals were?
If you’re from here please learn your rights!!
I’m sorry. Did the prosecutor just ask if the man holding a gun to Kyle’s head was going to shoot him? Did he just say that there’s no evidence of intent to shoot this boy even though there’s a gun pointed to his head? And you thought that’s the way he was going to shoot you? I’m Did I hear that correctly? What world does this fool live in?
Yes. He did ask that. Because it was _after_ Kyle, himself, said 15:50 in that his own pointing a gun at Rosenbaum didn't mean he was planning, or wanted the subject he was aiming said gun at to even assume his doing so meant he intended to shoot or kill him.
That's a good question, though - what world does said fool live in, indeed. Hopefully one in which being a trigger happy murderer gets punished.
By that logic you can just point a gun at everyone because well theres no evidence you're going to shoot😂😂😂

Just bring onto the stand 10 police officers and have them testify what they would do if someone tried to take their gun away from them.

The Prosecutor said that pointing a gun at someone makes them fear for their life. But he also said in the first video that Kyle came into screen pointing his weapon. If you’re in fear of your life, why would you run towards someone with a gun who was roughly 20-30 feet away? Unless you had intent to harm that person. You are too far to disarm him.
It also justifies Kyle obliterating noceps' arm. He saw the handgun, feared for his life, boom.

Grabbing someone's gun demonstrates a threat to serious bodily harm or death. This is accepted nationwide. Why this prosecution is ignoring that is beyond me.

Thing is, if someone is trying to take a firearm off of a police officer, the cop isn't just gonna let him take it because he just assumes his attacker isn't gonna use it against him. Same difference. It's defense.
I really wish I could see the facial expressions from the jury. I would love to see if they’re thinking what I’m thinking every time the prosecutor tries to make rioters burning down the city, into victims 🙄
Lets face it, if you were put in a life threatening situation, you do not care how the attacker ends up, dead or alive, you are defending yourself not the attackers
Well there is an option of aiming at a leg...or in the air...or using pepper spray or a stun gun...or even better, he should have never been out there in the first place!
@@IamSweetCharlotte He's not a trained professional. People have unloaded full clips down a hallway in the heat of a moment and completely missed the attacker. A civilian does not have "movie type" accuracy. A civilian doesn't typically have pepper spray or stun guns like police.

Everyone's an armchair quarterback, but being in the moment at full speed is a different scenario.
Agreed. But he put himself in that position.
He wasn't on his way home from work , or forced to defend his family or home.
He premeditatedly made the choice to get that gun and place himself in a situation he didn't need to be in.
When you are permitted to carry loaded weapons in public for no reason , sooner or later a reason will present itself to use them.

@@jamesatkinson9940 So according to your logic then the rioters could have stay home too and prevented this whole mess.
@@jamesatkinson9940 It's weird logic. Lots of things could have happened. All of the people at the protest/riot could have stayed home. The protesters could have left him alone. The first man to get shot could have not threatened Kyle's life. They could have not ran towards a person holding a gun. From all the video I saw, Kyle did not shoot a single person not running towards him. For the record I think both sides were young, dumb and testosterone driven. They all made bad decisions driven by adrenaline and not yet fully developed frontal lopes. They were all equally at fault.
This prosecutor sounds absurd. His questions are irrelevant.
His whole argument is he can't claim self defense because the perpetrator was acting in self-defense while running at him in a threatening manner.
This prosecutor doesn't know he's supposed to he working for justice. He's an enemy of the people. Kyle Rittenhouse makes good men everywhere proud. He shouldn't ever have had to deal with any of this
Kyle should have never been there in the first place
Lmao the prosecutor wants him to help someone while 100’s of people are trying to kill him. Ok
I am amazed at Kyle's professionalism under intense emotional stress. Kyle is displaying the classic symptoms of PTSD.
The slime of the prosecution is quite apparent. This is a show trial!

Lead prosecutor is evil
He should be disbarred.
"But you understand how dangerous it is to point a gun at someone?" It's more dangerous to be on the other end, so wtf didn't Rosenbaum back the f off? Who would go directly head on towards someone pointing a firearm at them? If he wouldn't have tried to attack Kyle and backed off, he'd still be here.
He did it because he thought Kyle was a big puppy faced kid who would lose his nerve and be a soft target.
So I have to retreat in times of danger? Very interesting take considering you’re fine with a 16 year old killing two people under guise he was in danger
@@blasian6611 17 and he tried to retreat. He ran at full speed to get away but Rosenbaum would not stop pursuit.
never sen such a sleazy prosecution. Instead of justice, they are looking for gotcha moments by repeating the same question again and again.
Really now? 🤔 Shame you weren't taking more note of sleazy defense. But that wouldn't suit the narrative for you, would it. Just like elections, everything's fake, everyone else is cheating and so it goes. On and on and on.
@@jenniferrae6646 .. On and on and on, just as you're doing now.
unfortunately there are a lot of them, it's called badgering. why didn't the judge object
@@jenniferrae6646 The fact that you brought up elections is a tell that you think this case is about Republicans Vs. Democrats. Try and focus more on the video evidence and less on your political affiliation. Good day Ma'am.
The prosecution kept asking the same questions because twirp Kyle wouldn’t answer the questions. He always tried to avoid answering the questions with a yes or no which was all it took from him.
Sleazy judge and sleazy defense! Sleazy Kyle deserves to go to prison. He took two lives and injured one forever! Those were the only killings so what’s that say? He’s a punk kid that knew he wasn’t there to help others as he stated. He didn’t even try to help the men he killed or the one he injured forever! He’s a coward!
Self Defense. Anyone would have done exactly what Kyle did. Those rioters had ill intent. They were threatening his life. Much respect to Kyle.
Not sure why this isn't obvious to everyone else. Seems so obvious
@@venom07786 because apparently you’re only supposed to defend yourself AFTER someone puts their hands on you.
You can’t deter them in a proactive manner. You HAVE to let them try to kill you first and pray they don’t so you can have a chance.
Imagine the police waiting until the criminal puts hands on them first before they can use the taser or gun.😬
@@venom07786 it is obvious but some people are in denial
ALL rioters have ill intent.
Did they think he was chasing Kyle to play patty cake?
Man, I didn't know Justin Hammer got his law license.
Lmao
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of that
Kyle is the kind of person who I would be pleased to have as my neighbor or as a crew on my sailboat.
Prosecutors “Rosenbaum was unarmed, he couldn’t have done any real harm.”
“George Floyd was killed simply by being kneeled on.” Same Prosecutor, probably.
If that the case, we're all very dangerous aren't we.
@@TheDealProd You can hospitalize or kill someone with your bare hands.
@@TheDealProd you have the potential to be. Just like a pistol in it's holster is just a dead weight until it's pointed at someone, you are just a human being until you posture for striking someone, at which point you become a deadly threat.
@@TheDealProd yes we all are. So keep your hands to yourself
Is the prosecutions actual defense of Rossenbaum self defense against Rittenhouses declaration of self defense?
This has to be unfounded
"You tried to defend yourself, so he reacted and tried to defend HIMSELF from his initial instigation that made you feel threatened"
Unreal
Absolute fuckery.
Kyle killed the prosecution without firing a shot.
This prosecutor reminds me of Mike Nifong in the Duke LaCrosse case. Purely political and prosecuting a clear case of self defense.
If you think this kid wasn’t out to find trouble with his assault weapon, you weren’t watching.
Mums reaction says it all about this entire scenario
My heart just hurts for his mother,
Her child is scared and she wants to protect him
Although Kyle was in the right, i still say his mom should not have driven him to the protest that day. If he were 18 then it was his choice, but as a guardian you should not let a minor come so close to a danger zone. In this case his age doesnt help kyle at all, he still get charged as an adult
Kyle defended his life, after being bludgeoned, gunned for, and after defending businesses being burned and looted. Free Kyle!
Kyle did everything correctly. Doesnt matter if other attacker has weapon or not. If you RUN towards Kyle AND grab his gun you have to react. Ether you loose weapon and put yourself in danger OR you shoot and protect yourself AND gun. When attacker sees gun pointed at him HE does not fear to die. Anyone else would run away.
Case closed.

How does a civilian get a prosecutor removed from office and disbarred? Asking for a friend.
OMG what is the defense attorney doing? Guy must be asleep. No objections. No 'asked and answered', no 'badgering', no 'prosecutor is testifying', nothing!
They want the jury to see how unreasonable the prosecution is.
I agree, but how do you feel watching this? I feel like a grown adult is picking on a kid, who was forced to defend his life with lethal force. With every question he asks that becomes crystal clear. Kyle is composed. He isn't erratic. He is level-headed and tried to get away. It is on video. Every single action is documented and logical. His demeanor shows how affected he was by the trauma. All of it makes me pity Kyle and hate the prosecutor. I would imagine many in the jury feel the same way, so it is in their better interest to let the prosecution continue to look like a complete d-bag.
@@JustJenLive Kyle is 18 so in the eyes of the law he's an adult. Taking the stand may have been a deliberate tactic to show up the prosecutor for being a tosser. Although the defendant has the right to remain silent this is a case where we need to hear from him. I was very impressed with his composure on the stand.
@@SugaryCoyote Glad it's working
@@90secondsuntilmidnight I could never do what Kyle is doing he's amazing at 18. After the DA asked me the same question the 10th time I would have snapped. So he didn't have a gun, so he didn't have a knife, so he didn't have a chain, so he didn't have club, omg douche bag we've established it you don't have to ask 10 different ways. Honestly i dont know how Kyle did it.
This prosecutor seems to be constantly grasping at straws. He seems to repeatedly pursue lines of questioning that have no relevance for his case, and often times unintentionally exonerates the defendant. He may be the worst I've ever seen.
The prosecutor is a real piece of work.
This kid should have never been armed and never even been in that situation. Hes no hero, but he was defending himself. Hopefully everyone involved in what led up to this clusterfuck is held ACCOUNTABLE.
If law enforcement did their job he wouldn't have killed anyone
@@kennethgibson1092 If he had stayed at home when he had no real reason to be there, he wouldn’t be charged with murder and if the other fools wouldn’t have been rioting they wouldn’t have been murdered. All were at fault.
This is one sharp Judge! I like his honesty! And respect him!😁🛫
The state is prosecuting Kyle for the state's complicity in formating and tolerating murder, chaos, rioting, and looting in Kenosha.
But the solution to "the state tolerating looting and chaos" shouldn't be 17 year olds running around with assault rifles, right?
@@davedd7803 exactly because that kid had no ability to prevent or stop anything, instead added two more to the death toll for no reason
@@davedd7803 What is an appropriate age to defend yourself? At conception or maybe once your dead? The only "Solution" is law enforcement, period.
@@matthewd9164
You should be able to defend yourself at any age. BUT, that does not mean we should allow 17 year old wanna-be militia-men to run around with assault rifles. That's insane.
That being said, I agree 100% that Rittenhouse had the right to defend himself in the situations where he shot his rifle. It was clearly self-defense. But he shouldn't have been there in the first place.
@@davedd7803 he was helping people
maybe I missphrased my question as you just gave a sensible response
The lack of law enforcement ought to be on trial here......
The prosecutor is saying he was not threatened when the guy had a gun he is a joke
The prosecutor lost went they picked witnesses that was better for the defense. Kyle will be fine but not for murder. Prosecutor didn't deliver.
I really like this judge!
My favourite was when Rittenhouse was being chased, and the Prosecution pauses the video, to show rosenbaum with his hands up?
When you play the video, he throws his hands up and never changes his stride as he dives towards him.
It’s funny listening to liberals trying to justify this as Rittenhouse being the aggressor?
Showing up armed to a place where no one asked you to be is pretty aggressive...
@@defcon602 Wisconsin is an open carry state rittenhouse was between his 2nd amendment rights to carry that weapon and people of Wisconsin do open carry regularly you can say none of the rioters who were that night should've just stayed home aswell
@@defcon602 as a Wisconsin resident I can carry And go anywhere I want legally.this kid was there to clean up the trash that the rioters did to the city. most didn't even live there.anyone has the right to defend himself.and Huber could have killed him with his foot or skateboard.

@@raidadave7840 Kyle handled himself much better than i would have. To have people running at me clearly intending to hurt me, i’m backed into a corner. What else could Kyle have done ? He did everything possible to avoid conflict and avoid harm - but the rioters kept coming at him... his only other option would have been to let them bash him and they would probably have shooten him.
Oh my goodness, watching his mother cry and having to listen to her son being talked to like he's some type of monster (when he CLEARLY is NOT) just breaks my heart!! Put that prosecutor in that SAME position with people running at him and trying to take his gun and see how tf he reacts. This guy is a complete jackass, what a clown!! Smh
The prosecutor would never be in the same position because he WOULDN’T travel to another state to find trouble at a demonstration with an assault riffle ……
That stupid detective, Rosenbaum was not scared because he didn't stop! It's that simple!
This prosecutor is TRYING! BUT, he looks soooo stupid doing so. Kyle is gonna go free. Self defense, PERIOD!!
You are painfully stupid. At no point was his life ever in danger. Not once. He shot two people at point blank range with an AR. This was murder, not self defense. Soon a jury will tell you the same.
@@joeybel just out of curiosity, based on all the evidence in the trial, what do you predict Rosenbaum would have done if Rittenhouse had not fired?
@@joeybel Wow, you can see that people are running after him and your saying he wasn't in danger. Wow, love how you are blinded to the evidence.
@@phoenixruin6640 Running after someone isn't a threat to their life... Putting a AR bullet in their chest at point blank range is. You dolt.
@@joeybel Are you forgetting the part where Kyle had a handgun pointed at him by a man who was verbally threatening to kill him?
Poor kid didnt want to kill anyone but felt like he was in danger so he did what he had to do to protect himself. Id do the same.
What a joke. Kyle did a fantastic job answering the same question 459 times. The Prosecutor helped the case by proving this was self-defense!!!
Im sorry did he really argue that the guy who was part of a group that attacked him wasn't a threat because he had a pistol and Kyle has an ar, and that he can equally think Kyle was a threat but he approached him? and that he ran to a man without info on a shooting situation?
Nah his point was that Kyle pointed his gun first to GRoss (might have been accidentally but he did point his gun first). Then Gross took his gun (not even ready to shoot) and then Kyle shot.
Question that he asked was 'do you feel threatened if someoen points their gun to you' but he wouldn't answer this
Kyle just weak boy that wasn't allow to say something different then "I acted in self-defense, chased by mob etc" he didn't even answer his questions..
@@yoni8184 good. Stupid questions.
@@El_Scorcho_ they are not stupid lmao. He was proving his point. Judge wants Kyle to walk thats all
@@yoni8184 proving what point? “Not even ready to shoot”. Just proves how uneducated you are on firearms. The gun was pointed at him. You dont have to “position” yourself to pull a trigger.
@@El_Scorcho_ Kyle pointed his gun first to the dude. So he could feel threatened by Gross but other way around not? Cool story
How can he claim self defense if he was the first to POINT his gun.
Again the judge is biased anyway. There is a picture of KYLE pointing his gun to the crowd but the defense doesn't want it shown. This is before ROSENBAUM chases him so KYLE did provoke them.
If he didn't do that why would the defense be so scared to view the picture? I hope it still gets shown as he already claimed under oath he did not do that.
I can personally recall every second, smell, sound and feeling during the most traumatic event of my life. But i guess everyone is different.
Frame by frame. An as days go by you remember more. Your definitely correct
Not everyone is you and you'd probably not remember every single detail as this prosecutor is expecting.
Can't believe this prosecutor has seen all the video evidence, yet continues asking Kyle these questions, with a straight face. This is truly infuriating to watch and I have no bias towards one side or the other. I also understand no one is perfect, and myself am far from it, however... Binger is a disgusting and despicable human being. We need to do better as an entire nation, but first we need to stop allowing people like this to rise to power. Complete lack of morality. I don't understand how anyone can watch this and not be angered by this man. Wouldn't be surprised if he slithers in and out of the courtroom.
I hope the people of Kenosha hold this man accountable.
The prosecution is grasping for straws. They know they do not have the case. An honourable thing to do on their part would be to drop the murder charges. But of course they won't do it.
Anyone else get ungodly close to their phone to see the video like everyone else in that room?
Yep
Whatever the prosecution is trying to establish,.. sure isn't working
It's crazy we live in a world where people are burning things down and running up on people and they think u can't defend yourself against it.Once you enter his personal space he has all the right to protect himself
Hmm well..not if he put himself in that position...
@@IamSweetCharlotte sure but rittenhouse did not put himself in proximity of Rosenbaum the videos show the opposite.
@@IamSweetCharlotte so did the rioters ,Kyle had just as much rights to be there as the rioters ,but once u are chasing someone down and enter there personal space there life is in danger and have the right to defend themself
@@mathewfuller250 From what I've watched the authorities weren't too concerned about businesses and livelihoods being destroyed. If the police had dealt with the matter properly (I'm referring to the rioting) two people wouldn't be dead and there would be no trial.
The defense has done a good job thus far. I do feel they should have objected to the assertion that Rosenbaum was unarmed just because he put his hands in the air. He could have had a knife or gun concealed. There was no way Kyle could have known for sure.
Don't ya just love how the prosecution continues to use "pistol" when talking about Gauge, but when talking about Kyle's is a big bad "AR15" why would you be scared ? Yours was so much bigger and villainized in public view. Defense should have been objecting. Plus Kyle was asked to "speculate" about other peoples thoughts many times.
I think the defense did not object because "never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake". The prosecutor was just making himself look like a jerk to the jury.
In a built up area in crowds give me a pistol over the ar15 every time. Less likely to misfire and tight arcs.
This is most pathetic crap i have ever seen. I want to see this prosecutor in the same situation...he would never point his gun at the crazed lunatics chasing him? BS. Anyone would in the situation. This idiocy is beyond disgusting.

An argument you can make, man with a gun in his face. This prosecutor is terrible.

The jury only asked to view one video when they deliberated. Was it this one? I think it was.
I watched the whole trial, but I can't find Kyle in this video. And the judge didn't mention which video they wanted to view.
