Rittenhouse was retreating at all times.

Grosskreutz was the aggressor at all times.

So are you or are you not asserting that the aggressor has a right to self defense?

He was in fact running away towards the cops.

He was in the mob pursuing Kyle. He was 100% aware of what happened.

You have no point here.

Lefty drew on Kyle and rightfully paid the price.

Let us also not forget that Rittenhouse wasn’t even the first one who fired.

It was a rioter who slipped away into the crowd (can’t recall his name).

Not when the "active shooter" is not actively threatening you and is in fact in retreat.

You can't be an "active shooter" when you are in fact not actively shooting and are in retreat at all times.

So no, Kyle can not be considered an "active shooter" in any way, shape or form.

So if you're claiming Grosskreutz has a right to self defense by being the aggressor, you're either being a disingenuous troll, or you're a fricking idiot.

I'll let you decide which one you are.

Didn't it also state that he believed Rittenhouse to be an active shooter? Which, depending on your political views, he may or may not have been?

He also testified that he had no clue what was going on and didn't see anything go down before he moved in on KR. He also said that he was afraid for his life then ran towards KR. He also said he was trying to surrender to KR. He also said that he pointed the gun at KR. He also said he never drew his weapon, which the prosecutor had to correct him on. This guy's testimony was a dumpster fire because he kept contradicting himself at every turn. Again, the guy admitted that he was the aggressor and was only shot after he ran towards KR and pointed a gun at him. This is pretty basic stuff that you, for some odd reason, are refusing to acknowledge because it doesn't fit the story you want to hear.

I'm questioning whether you can determine if he was the aggressor without putting yourself in his shoes. Most here are putting themselves in Kyle's shoes and ignoring all of his bad decisions. Least you could do is do the same for those who were shot by him.

You don't see a difference here? An armed robber has obvious intentions to commit a crime, while Grosskreutz thought he was helping/saving people (much like Rittenhouse).

He never even said he was trying to save people. He said that he closed the distance between him and Rittenhouse because he thought he was going to die (then he said he ran towards him to surrender). He didn't even make a "for the greater good" argument.

Are you saying Grosskreutz was not the aggressor in the situation? Even when he admitted under oath that he in fact was?

That would require there being an active shooter though wouldn't it?

He also said he was going tell the skateboard guy to stop.

He said on the stand that he was the aggressor.

Sack of shite for attempting that line after the fact. He certainly wasn't thinking that before coached by the ADA.

Political views have no bearing on the fact that Kyle didn't shoot until confronted by credible threats to his life. In fact, it was pointed out the Kyle demonstrated considerable restraint at the time.

Both. Sue everyone and get money from it. Then change appearance and disappear for years.

This kid sucks. He is an entitled little shite who thought he could just start shooting people that had nothing to do with him and get away with it. Maybe he will. He deserves zero attention though when the Epstein trial is under way.
