Natural selection at its best... don’t chase people with a gun 😐

It's incredible how they show the videos of Kyle being attacked by a mob but some how manage to explain a totally different scenario here. Even at their attempt of cherry picking the worst angles, they still show Kyle running away from the mob after he shot Rosebaum [sex offender] in self defense. What they cut out is that Kyle was on the ground in their video because he was hit in the head from behind as he ran - which knocked him to the ground. They do happen to be nice enough to show the second guy drop kick Kyle while he is on the ground and later freeze frame a 3rd guy (3:00) striking Kyle's head with a skateboard (He is the second guy shot by Kyle in self defense). They also forget to mention that the third guy Kyle shot, which was part of the mob attacking Kyle, was running at Kyle with a pistol in his hand.


Kyle only shot people that were actively attacking him, which is f'n incredible considering he was struck in the head multiple times and that scene was intense and chaotic.

You people are garbage for manipulating the story instead of telling it how it is. Down vote this video and unsubscribe.

Rosenbaum hurts kids and tried to hurt Kyle who was doing nothing wrong, he chased him for 200 feet and trapped him between two cars before Kyle finally defended himself.

Intentional? By running for his life while being attacked?

[chevyboyforlife]

Everyone knows that the video clearly shows Kyle was defending himself this is such bullshit and the people pushing for him to be in prison are pathetic

[deaddiver]

This is the first time I have ever heard the phrase "intentional homicide". It just sounds like a nicer way to say murder.

[robertslattery]

You didn't show the video where Kyle has a gun in his face and someone attacking him with a skateboard.

[Athena]

This is a tricky one. Not saying Kyle’s actions were justified but Daddy Huber needs to stop with “my son was a hero” nonsense.

Rittenhouse put out a fire (the mob was trying to blow up a gas station) then they chased Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum was going to try to kill him. Then Rosenbaum got sent to hell. Then the rest of them chased Rittenhouse down the block and they caught up, so Rittenhouse had to defend himself. He killed another punk and disabled another. Rittenhouse was defending himself. He did nothing wrong.

Don't bring a skateboard to a gunfight

[jetstreamdefalpha]

Why didn't the news show the part where Kyle was attacked by a mob and also a gun pointed at him?

[CopMorty]

Kyle is a hero. George Floyd was a career criminal.

[peterfuentes]

The news really sensationalized this story. I watched the entire uncut video and it is not what the news paints it to be. He should be charged for possession of a firearm as a minor the rest of the charges are highly debatable.

[tierracrawford]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Dont be rioting and destroying peoples property. Someone is going to eventually protect it.

[Lord_of_the_Pies]

Thise shots are other people firing into the Crowd. Everything Kyle did was perfectly lawful self defense. Watch the entire video

[thephoenix]

I am just a law abiding citizen who has someone purchase this AR-15 because I was not old enough to own one and just happened to put myself across state lines in a situation where I had to use my illegal firearm in self defense after I shot someone.

[tangerinefizz]

Kyle Rittenhouse's so-called mother should also be held accountable for driving him there and driving him back home to hide him.

[travisdietz]

He did not murder anyone!! He defended himself, a community, and did the policemens job. A hero is what he is!! Took out the real trash of the world!!! He should be free, and given a medal!!!

Ya know why the first guy, Rosenbaum, that chased down and attacked Rittenhouse before the mob came after him too? He chased him down and attacked him for extinguishing a dumpster fire the rioters were pushing towards a gas station. Rosenbaum was one of those rioters and assualted him for that, so Rittenhouse ran away. Rosenbaum chased him down and went for his gun and Rittenhouse shot him to defend himself. Then the rest if the mob formed around the gunshots and chased Rittenhouse down the street while he was running for the police. They caught up to him before he got there, and knocked him down, at which point the first guy drop-kicked him, and he missed that guy, and then the second guy swung a skateboard at him while trying to take his rifle, and he killed that guy, and then the third guy pulled a glock, and Rittenhouse shot him in the forearm.

In each case, Rittenhouse was running for his life and only fired
when he'd been caught up to and assaulted.

So, the presecutions position is that it's totally ok to commit arson and to attack a guy for preventing an arson, but defending yourself when you're under attack for preventing an arson, that's murder.
