Kyle Rittenhouse: Hero or villain? Just as Jacob Blake was taken from victimizer to victim in the blink of an eye, so too has a 17-year-old kid been thrown into a cast that he doesn't fit in by all the available evidence. In this episode, we talk about the video evidence, what really happened, and what it means for Kyle and those injured or killed. Hint: there's a lot of stoopid involved.

These incidents are complex and take a lot of research. I’m slow to get this info out and I hate it. Members have access to short, initial-take videos on these events that I put out much closer to the actual event.

Time to talk about the Kyle Rittenhouse and Co incident. Theme: JACOB GOOD, KYLE BAD, AMERICANS STOOPID

Unedited Show Notes:

First: Ben Shapiro

For the 100th time Ben, get the facts right on Jacob Blake. He has the knife in his hand when he walks around the front of the car. He did not pick it up off the floorboard!!

Ben is usually very accurate but I’ve been waiting for a correction on this mistake

Initial Details of Incident:

Charges

“Rittenhouse is accused of killing Anthony Huber, 26, of Silver Lake; and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha. first-degree intentional homicide

(a) Except as provided in sub. (2), whoever causes the death of another human being with intent to kill that person or another is guilty of a Class A felony.

(2) Mitigating circumstances. The following are affirmative defenses to prosecution under this section which mitigate the offense to 2nd-degree intentional homicide under s. 940.05:

(a) Adequate provocation. Death was caused under the influence of adequate provocation as defined in s. 939.44.

(b) Unnecessary defensive force. Death was caused because the actor believed he or she or another was in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that the force used was necessary to defend the endangered person, if either belief was unreasonable.

(c) Prevention of felony. Death was caused because the actor believed that the force used was necessary in the exercise of the privilege to prevent or terminate the commission of a felony, if that belief was unreasonable.

(d) Coercion; necessity. Death was caused in the exercise of a privilege under s. 939.45 (1).

(3) Burden of proof. When the existence of an affirmative defense under sub. (2) has been placed in issue by the trial evidence, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the facts constituting the defense did not exist in order to sustain a finding of guilt under sub. (1).

Other Charges:

The Illinois teenager also faces felony charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

All felony charges came with "use of a dangerous weapon" modifier.

In both killings, video shows Rittenhouse being pursued before shots are fired. Although some claimed that Rosenbaum had thrown a weapon at Rittenhouse, the criminal complaint filed with the Kenosha County District Attorney states that he threw a plastic bag.

Video shows Huber attempting to strike Rittenhouse when Huber was shot in the chest.

According to a report of an autopsy, Huber's gunshot wound to his chest "perforated his heart, aorta, pulmonary artery and right lung."

Rosenbaum's autopsy showed "a gunshot wound to the right groin which fractured his pelvis, a gunshot to the back which perforated his right lung and liver, a gunshot wound to the left hand, a superficial gunshot wound to his lateral left thigh, and a graze gunshot wound to the right side of his forehead."

” Journal Times

People Shot:

Joseph Rosenbaum, 36 Rosenbaum was found guilty of engaging in “sexual conduct with a minor” in Arizona’s Pima County in March 2002, almost two decades before his death, according to an online database of prison inmates in Arizona, via the state’s department of corrections. Per that online portal, he was sentenced to prison or parole for roughly 15 years. The state’s law defines the felony offense as “intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen (18) years of age,”

Anthony Huber, 26: “Anthony Huber, 26, was shot & killed in Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot,” read the Twitter-based report. “He was filmed chasing down the armed teen and hitting him when he was on the ground with a skateboard. He has a criminal history that includes charges of battery & repeat domestic abuse.”

“Gaige Grosskreutz, 26: The third man, who was injured but survived after losing much of his bicep, was armed with a Glock handgun- despite allegedly being prohibited from possessing firearms.

Interestingly, he is reported to be affiliated with a far-left movement that some claim to be “a Marxist oriented militant group that was formed in 2016.”

“Gaige Grosskreutz, 26. He’s a member of the People’s Revolution Movement,” Ngo noted. “He was filmed chasing after the teen w/a pistol. He was shot at close-range in the upper arm. He has a criminal record that includes being intoxicated & armed [with a] gun.” - The People’s Ledger

At this point we don’t know fi Grosskreutz could legally possess a handgun

Main Points:

Anyone who calls this murder or acts like they know for sure what happened is lying to themselves or you.

We have due process for this reason. Mobs are don’t decide justice.

Most people have not watched all of these videos and are simply taking a stance they want to be true.

I do think this is justified self defense GIVEN THE VIDEO EVIDENCE and has a 90% chance of turning out that way in court.

JACOB GOOD, KYLE BAD, AMERICANS STOOPID

The lifting up of Jacob Blake as a hero and vilification of Kyle Rittenhouse is truly astonishing.

Blake is a career criminal, wanted for digitally raping a single black mother of three, and fought with two police officers who did everything they could to use non lethal force before resorting to deadly for all the while he was armed with a knife, which is a deadly weapon of course.

Rittnehouse is a 17 year old kid with no criminal record to speak of. Yes, broke the law to openly posses the rifle used here. This is a misdemeanor gun charge and does not mean he forfeits his right to life. It also doesn’t mean he came there intending to kill people.

Rittnehouse has been labeled a mass murderer by Facebook

This wasn’t an active shooter situation. Look at the mob closing in on him.

He came earlier in the day and was scrubbing graffiti off of defaced property.

Videos of him explaining why he’s there: protect property and help injured

Play EMS clip

Joseph Rosenbaum was chasing Kyle down for an unknown reason

Gunshot happened immediately preceding Kyle turning to shoot him

He is seen in earlier videos acting extremely aggressive toward Kyle and others saying, “shoot me nigga, shoot me nigga, bust on me for real.”

Play “shoot me clip”

If Kyle was trying to kill people, this was stoopid.

Anthony Huber was assaulting Kyle and trying to take his rifle when he was shot.

If Kyle was trying to kill people, this was stoopid.

Gaige Grosskreutz was closing in on Kyle after having already fired multiple times and killing Huber, with a handgun in his hand pointed toward Kyle.

If Kyle was trying to kill people, this was stoopid.

He should have shot Kyle. Either way, he’s only a victim of his own stoopidity.

This is an obvious self defense case. I’m not saying he’ll win, but to label this anything other than someone shooting someone else in self defense is a lie.

But he crossed state lines! Completely moot point.

It was illegal to possess this firearm!

Yes, but only because he was one year too young. Basic, low level offense that none of these protesters even knew was taking place.

He came with intention to kill as part of a militia!!!! No evidence to support this whatsoever.

Am I calling these poor victims; Jacob Blake, Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz, stoopid heads!?! Why yes, yes I am. I am also calling Kyle stoopid for coming there as a 17 year old to play in a big boy’s game. His being there was stoopid, but far less stupid than the actions of the rest who got themselves shot for their very stupid decisions.

These are the facts we have. You make up your own mind about the chaos in Kenosha. You’re smart enough to do that. As for me, if the prevailing belief out there is JACOB GOOD, KYLE BAD, then mine is AMERICANS STOOPID.
