that did not happen, you lying piece of shit. are you on drugs?
Peaceful protests during the day were followed by rioting and civil unrest at night. Just before midnight on Aug. 25, tensions peaked when a 17-year-old named Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum. Moments later, Rittenhouse shot two other men, one fatally.
Rittenhouse was arrested and charged with multiple counts of homicide and weapons offenses, but right-wing groups have rallied to his cause, celebrating him as a hero who sought to protect Kenosha from destructive rioting and who fired in self-defense. The events have become a litmus test for a deeply divided nation.
The examination also reveals new details about Rosenbaum’s struggles with mental illness and includes the first on-camera interview with his fiancee, Kariann Swart. “I don’t think there’s any sort of self-defense when there’s an unarmed person in front of you, and you’re holding an assault rifle two feet away,” she said.

Much of Kenosha's deadly protest shooting was captured in social media videos. Here's what they show.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, was charged in connection to shootings that killed two people and injured one in Kenosha on Tuesday during the third night of civil unrest in the city.
The nights of unrest were set off by the Sunday shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back by Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey. Blake is paralyzed from the waist down and is still hospitalized in Milwaukee.
Rittenhouse was taken into custody Wednesday in Illinois and is awaiting extradition to Wisconsin to face homicide charges in Kenosha County.

A person is shot in a car lot
The first gunshots occur shortly before midnight near 63rd Street and Sheridan Road, across from Froedtert South hospital.
A video filmed from across the street shows a man carrying a long gun, Rittenhouse, running into a car lot at 63rd and Sheridan.
Locator of Aug. 25 protest shooting events.
Rittenhouse is pursued by a man who tosses an object toward him that seems to be on fire; it misses. The two continue running toward a cluster of cars.
While they're running, an unknown gunman near the road fires a single shot into the air, according to another video taken from the car lot. The muzzle flash is visible in the edge of the frame, The New York Times found in its analysis of the footage.
Two or three seconds later, Rittenhouse stops and turns around, his back to a parked van. Four more shots ring out, and the person who was pursing him drops to the ground in front of him.
Rittenhouse runs around a car, and three more shots are heard. He returns to where the victim is lying. A bystander pulls his shirt off and attends to the victim, who appeared to have a head injury.
Rittenhouse puts a phone to his ear and starts heading north through the car lot toward Sheridan Road.
As he runs from the scene, people are heard screaming, "He shot him!"
Two more are shot in the street
Several other videos show Rittenhouse then heading north on Sheridan Road, chased by a handful of people. Some people shout "He shot him" or "That's the shooter."
As he is running, Rittenhouse trips and falls to the ground near 61st Street and Sheridan Road. A few people begin to run at him.
Rittenhouse ultimately fires four shots at three people who rush toward him.
The first jumps toward him and Rittenhouse, now half sitting up, fires twice but appears to miss. He falls backward and his legs come up, tangling with the person he's just shot at. The person falls, then gets up and runs away.
A second person runs up and is briefly on top of Rittenhouse and appears to hit him with a skateboard as he begins sitting up again. The person grabs Rittenhouse's gun, but he still has hold of it and fires, appearing to hit the person in the chest as they pull back.
