Every fucking detail proves self defense. He was running away!

The video released yesterday pretty much lays out the defenses (very plausible) case:

  1. Rosenbaum was lighting shit on fire. Dude in a green shirt in a hat puts it out thus enraging Rosenbaum and we see the "shoot me nigga" video.

  2. Rosenbaum then continues to go about trying to set shit on fire. Rittenhouse is see running with a fire extinguisher in the same area, plausibly to put out the fires Rosenbaum was trying to set.

  3. Rosenbaum mistakes Rittenhouse as "the guy in the green shirt" and loses it over him constantly having his fires put out. Rosenbaum goes after Rittenhouse.

  4. Rittenhouse runs into the carlot while being chased. Guy previously seen in the "shoot me" video fires handgun causing Rittenhouse to turn and find Rosenbaum lunging at him. Rittenhouse fires and kills Rosenbaum as an act of defense.

  5. Rittenhouse immediately circles back to check on Rosenbaum and immediately calls 911 saying he shot someone. People start congregating and Rittenhouse flees the converging mob.

Legally, this first incident is the most important one as the verdict here starts a domino effect that affects the second incident and whether he will be cleared overall.

I think the New York Times (yes, the commie NYT) pointed this out months ago. The only new footage for me was Rosenbaum lighting stuff on fire.

I’m sure the prosecutors will move to try rejecting the admissibility of the video...

Getting chased by a violent pedo that wanted to be shot, then attacked by a flying kick to the head from behind, a skate board to the face, and a gun pulled on him by a "medic" all screams self defense. Also, Geneva Convention violations for all of them? Paging the U.N. oh wait, there aren't poor, disadvantaged girls to rape, so no one cares.

Geneva Conventions only apply to state/organized military forces.

Now, if you wanna talk about classifying Antifa/BLM as a uniformed soldiery...

There isn't a single fact in that case that does not point to self defence.

Thats a good kid there. Those asshats he shot and the one he killed can burn it hell. You privileged little Fucker tried to kill a lone sheepdog. You cowards. If I was as vile as you id hunt you down and finish the job. Since.i don't glory over death ill just pass on the dead guys grave.
