Rosenbaum tried to grab his rifle, and clearly had a bunch of friends following him (one of whom fired off the first shot in the parking lot video). Seems to me that the logical sequence of events here was:

  • Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum were arguing.

  • Rosenbaum makes a grab for Rittenhouse's rifle, massively escalating the situation.

  • Rittenhouse, seeing that he's outnumbered and that a known lunatic is trying to seize his weapon, attempts to leave.

  • Rosenbaum and friends give chase, leading directly to the skirmish in the parking lot that killed him.

You can also see that Rosenbaum takes off his shirt and wears it like a mask before going after Kyle too

I mean, he's a child rapist and did 12 years in prison.

Asshole thought he was a badass and that he could pick on Kyle since Kyle was a loner out there and looked like a kid.

Then he found out.

He has over 40 infractions during his prison gig including many assaults on staff and arson. 2 cases of sexual conduct with minor one in 2002 and the second in 2013 for a total of 12 year sentence and in 2014 2 years for interf with a monitor device

Dude was a total manlet with the worst case of little man syndrome we will ever see. So bad that it led to his own death. His police reports from his past list him as 5’3”. That’s like as rare as a guy being over 7 feet tall.

If He shot a child Rapist in the head, we need to give the good citizen award and find a way to send him money, they closed his go fund me- The Democrat Pedovores are mad the child sacrifice to their party fought back and killed a child rapist. Headshot attempted to disguise himself to make a video for someone- doing something to Kyle

Don't you know that wearing a mask will make you impervious to tiny things like viruses so therefore it should stop larger things like bullets without a problem. /s obviously

He didn't have a gun but he was caught on video vandalizing the parked cars. I think he put the mask on because that building may have had video surveillance and it had light. He was high on drugs and a complete idiot. If I were to guess, he was in prison and released because of covid. No way that dude has managed to stay out of jail.

I think it was a different shirt...has printed writing on it on his forehead...i see no print on his shirt during the “shoot me” video

The printing you see on his forehead would have been on the back of the t-shirt.

Trying to disarm someone with a weapon is justifiable reason for shooting them. There's only one thing they're going to do with that weapon after they get it. They're going to shoot you. Anybody crazy enough to do that is not planning to turn it in for a gun buyback

Amaud Arbery deserved to be shot for trying to take someones weapon. Change my mind.

MAGAmillionairess 45 points ago +46 / -1

This is the justification for the Arbery shooting too. People can argue all day that the father and son shouldn't have driven after him, but Arbery attempted to fight and disarm a man with a gun and ended up on the receiving end.

DoYouBelieveInMAGA 16 points ago +17 / -1

but people can gather outside Tucker Carlson's house because "this is America". Is there a law against following someone in public?

if they file a restraining order.

12
JohnScott 12 points ago +13 / -1

Yup. And they absolutely had a right to confront him. Any citizen has a right to intervene when they see a crime being committed.

6
notalltherescripts 6 points ago +7 / -1

I agree, but it becomes a very muddy line of whether the suspected criminal believes they committed a criminal act. Otherwise it is just some armed dudes approaching a person, trying to detain and question them, and they really don't have to sit down and engage them.

I say this knowing someone, pre cell phones, who held a person a gunpoint who was breaking into a neighbor's house. It took time to call the police, for them to respond, etc. He was charged with kidnapping because even though the burglar was on their front porch peeping in, he hadn't yet caused any damage.

The biggest thing I remember from my CCW training is that before you intervene you better be VERY sure about what you are intervening on.

Arbery literally ran around the truck towards the gun owner and started throwing punches. Totally justified. Thats why the original prosecutor refused to charge them.

20
DarkBerry 20 points ago +20 / -0

Agreed. Any rational gun owner would do that same. I am sad that Kyle had to kill someone, but happy it was someone who should have been executed on his first go at the legal system. Proud of my boy.

21
Randomite 21 points ago +21 / -0

I'm impressed that Kyle, 17, had the presence of mind and composure to not lose his weapon in all of this.

19
cob05 19 points ago +19 / -0

He's 17, knows to try to distance himself to avoid conflict, holds onto his weapon and accurately fires from multiple positions as a last resort under EXTREME duress while being attacked by multiple assailants with intentions to harm him as they are trying to disarm him, and STILL has trigger discipline when he gets up and scans for more threats after neutralizing arm guy. Kyle was trained properly and is most likely alive because of that training.

JohnScott 19 points ago +20 / -1

Yeah. We joke about it on here, but he has to live with killing two people in one night for the rest of his life. Hope he can properly contextualize it.

8
DarkBerry 8 points ago +8 / -0

Right. It isn't something that anyone WANTS to live with, but perhaps he will be able to compartmentalize it with the realization they were going to end him if he didn't end them.

"As a consequence of your action, this entity will continue. And this entity will not."

It was a worthwhile trade, and I hope he doesn't forget that. His reaction was textbook, and he should be proud of his control and restraint.

4
KnottyJane 4 points ago +4 / -0

I've worried about that from the first night... Even more when they arrested him and took him away from his support system. I imagine that he knows he did the right thing, but it still would be hard to process that you ended 2 lives.

Trying to disarm someone with a weapon is justifiable reason for shooting them.

So that hero that got back the stolen rifles out of a cop's car, from ANTIFA, deserved to be shot?

13
kish-kumen 13 points ago +13 / -0

They weren't antifa's rifles, so no.

2
zooty 2 points ago +2 / -0
  1. Context is a thing.
  2. "Deserved" is a different thing than "justifiable reason".

To be clear, antifa guy arguably did have a justifiable reason if he feared for his life. However, he was likely an inexperienced little shit who had little idea of the operation of the weapon he was holding and knew he was in the wrong being confronted by a guy exhibiting confidence with a loaded weapon already drawn. He made the right decision and went home that night.

Also add in whichbwas shockingly covered by new york times someone discharged a pistol right near them images and video confirm it as Kyle was being chased it was shortly after when the guy caught up to Kyle that he turned and fired
