I have compiled all relevant materials into the one, the only, and the best thread of the timeline of all three shootings last night (8/25) in Kenosha, WI (better known as #militiastan). Thread begins with facts and concludes with personal thoughts.
The individual who has been identified as the shooter is Kyle Rittenhouse. It has been reported that he is 17 and from Antioch, IL.
Here& #39;s an interview he gave before all three shootings:
Here& #39;s another interview:
Here he is seen interacting with the police:
Here is another video of Kyle before the shootings interacting with other armed citizens and police:
The first shooting victim has been identified as one Joseph D Rosenbaum (also known as headshot guy). It has been reported that he died in the hospital.
Here you see headshot guy looking for a fight and at one point yelling "shoot me nigga":
This is video of the first shooting, headshot guy is seen chasing Kyle across a parking lot and throwing something wrapped in possibly a bag or a cloth. Kyle briefly pauses, takes aim, keeps running, gets cornered near some cars and shoots:
Here you can see multiple synced angles of the shooting:
The moment Kyle realizes what has happened he appears to call someone, is heard saying "I just killed somebody" and runs from the scene and presumably toward the police:
Here Kyle is seen running from the scene of headshot guy& #39;s shooting and toward the flashing lights of the police followed by a crowd:
Side angle of Kyle running toward the police, while in pursuit by a crowd. He can be seen tripping, is attacked by three different individuals, and shoots two:
Same two shootings but closer and in much better quality, here Kyle can be seen getting up after the shootings, and walking toward the police with his hands up. The police can also be heard asking if there is someone injured up ahead:
This is a view of shootings 2-3 from the back, the victim of the third shooting can be seen running off after receiving a gunshot injury to the arm and screaming for a medic, his injuries are seen in graphic detail. At this point a tourniquet is applied:
This is the final video of the guy shot in the arm, he is being tended to by an armed citizen and then the police take over:
The victim of the second shooting (skateboard guy - reportedly shot in the chest) has been identified as Anthony Huber:
The victim of shooting number 3 (arm guy) has been identified as one Gaige Paul Grosskreutz, allegedly a felon. He can be seen in multiple pictures holding a pistol both before and after being shot:
Next up are pictures of shootings 2 and 3 with details you may not have caught in the videos. First we see Gaige (arm guy) with the crowd pursuing Kyle after he shot Joseph, reaching for presumably the gun he is seen with later:
This is the moment after Kyle trips, and is attacked by an unidentified assailant. Note Anthony (skateboard guy) approaching:
Initial assailant has now fallen to the ground and Anthony attacks Kyle with his skateboard:
This is a screengrab of the skateboard attack by Anthony with Gaige coming in from the right, pistol drawn. This is before either have been shot:
These were taken moments after Anthony (skateboard guy) was shot in the chest and a split second before Gaige (arm guy) lunges at Kyle:
The moment Gaige (arm guy) lunges at Kyle and gets shot:
This was taken after both Anthony (skateboard guy) and Gaige (arm guy) were shot. Anthony can seen on the ground in the foreground and Gaige is seen running left of frame. Kyle keeps moving toward the police:
This is the body of Anthony (skateboard guy), being moved. Allegedly he was loaded up into a minivan and taken to the hospital. It has been reported that he died:
I don& #39;t know why or how Kyle got separated from the main group of armed citizens, but the moment he was - he became the target of an angry Joseph from whom he ran until cornered, he shot in self defense. Then he ran toward the police, faced more attacks, and defended himself.
Personally I wish he stayed with the group of capable, trained, and armed citizens but that did not happen and neither was it an excuse for his life to be put in danger. Regardless, I think that he acted appropriately and shot in self defense.
It is unclear to me why the police didn& #39;t initially take him into custody, but I& #39;m not going to monday morning quarterback this. After the events of last night, Kyle returned to Antioch where he was arrested and charged first-degree intentional homicide in Kenosha.
This thread has better angles, more footage, and higher quality footage of the first shooting. One of the group chasing Kyle has a gun and fires first: https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1298840777251008512?s=19">https://twitter.com/trbrtc/st...
