Man Who Fired First Shots Behind Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha Has Been Charged

That is the evidence that was presented in the trial today. My assumption has nothing to do with it.

You aren’t seeing what he was seeing at the time, their context. You are a victim of hindsight bias.

Sure…but I wouldn’t ever call shooting someone in the back self defense.

Six and I had this same discussion earlier. The lord has nothing to do with it.

IMHO…only losers shoot a man in the back. Makes you wonder what went down behind those cars.

??? Aren’t you the guy who just posted this quote?

“The prosecutor noted that the first two bullets hit Rosenbaum in the lower extremities, causing him to fall forward. Then came the shot to the back.”

I am…do you shoot an unarmed guy in the back laying on the ground?

I do agree on the first one being a bit harder to tell as you don’t get the straight up video angle when Rittenhouse was on the ground, makes it harder to tell. Seems to be two angles on the first video one appears to show the man being shot in a full frontal charge that’s all I can see but you don’t see much at all.

If these are the only videos out there I would see a strong argument for self defense unless the prosecutors have other videos or surveillance videos of the first shooting that the public hasn’t seen. Also these high profile cases you never know how the jury will vote. Unrelated but I still can’t believe Casey Anthony walked free.

Why do you assume he was lying on the ground? More likely, because he was shot in the lower extremities (legs) it caused him to double over exposing his back to the gun, which was still being fired towards his legs.

Or if he appears to be lurching for you?

The unarmed guy is on the ground wounded in the lower extremities…how the hell would the armed guy be in any danger?

Ahh, the warm glow of perfect hindsight.

He ran after him pursuing him…Is that not a threatening action?

You beat up a lot of joggers? Besides, given the time line and the locations, he had to have come back to run into him. And no, it is not legal to beat someone if they run toward you. But especially not if you already lost them and circle back to do it.

I suppose Zimmerman could have always taken the chance that Martin would quit pounding his head against the pavement before he died.

Some of y’all have never been in a fight for your life, and it shows.

I suppose Zimmerman shouldn’t have been playing cop and listened to the dispatcher when she told him not to pursue Martin.

Nobody has to follow a dispatchers advice.

Why did you ignore my post above? Here, I’ll repeat it for you so you have a second chance to consider what most likely happened.

“More likely, because he was shot in the lower extremities (legs) it caused him to double over exposing his back to the gun, which was still being fired towards his legs.”

Not hindsight … fabrication without evidence or merit.

Dispatchers have no authority to tell anyone how to react to a situation that person called in to report. You act as though the “we don’t need you to do that” carries the weight of law.

That’s no excuse for trying to kill someone. Zimmerman killed in self defense. Period.
