Kenosha Shooting Timeline (not including the Brooks shooting)

Don't need a timeline. Saw him attacked.

Self defense.

Context is always important. In this case it truly underscores the self-defense aspect.

He had to take a leak, and went behind the building to piss. JoJo McChildrapist jumped him with a piece of lumber. Rittenhouse tries to get back to his group, is chased up to the point to where we catch it on camera

Honestly, that wouldn't surprise me. Rosenbaum had "little man syndrome" rolling off of him in buckets, he was spoiling for a fight and I bet he thought Rittenhouse looked like easy pickings.

Nice work, Bard. It IS useful to have everything in one place.

A couple of points.

After closer examination, I do NOT think that the "Shoot me N!gg@" confrontation took place at the same location as the eventual shooting location. Both have boarded-up windows, but the writing on the building seems to be different. It looks to me like (from the vantage of standing in front and facing the shooting location), the "Shoot me N!gg@" location is up the same street, to the right. It looks like the defenders/militia guys saw something happening at the shooting location (pre-shooting, obviously) and moved in that direction down the street. I think you see a couple of the other defender/militia guys in the video of the first shooting, so it makes sense that they probably moved down the street together or at about the same time anyway.

You could add at the front the images from earlier in the day ... of the Rittenhouse kid cleaning graffiti from the walls of the school. Certainly provides more context.

You can see Rittenhouse in some of the video at the "Shoot me N!gg@" location. At one point he reaches forward and pulls a buddy out of JoJo's face. You can also see Skateboard guy in the "Shoot me N!gg@" videos a couple of times. I looked for kung-fu kick guy and Amputated Arm guy at the "Shoot me N!gg@" location, but did not see them.

When Rittenhouse left the scene of shooting JoJo, he retreated back in the same general direction from which he had entered that premises (to camera right). It seems likely that the second set of shootings took place nearer to the "Shoot me N!gg@" location that to the scene of the first shooting.

So the NYT endeavored to make a timeline of the events as well, and while there is some obvious bias in the article, they also found something that I haven't seen mentioned.

Here's a snippet of the article plus the image.



Here's a larger look at the image.



Based on the NYT timeline, that mystery handgun fired before Kyle turned or fired. So self defense comes strongly into play. Kyle is already running from pursuers when he hears shots, possibly aimed at him, possibly not, he turns and sees a guy rushing him.

He fires, killing Rosenbaum. It's worth pointing out too that the handgun fire was possibly directed at him (not in the air like NYT suggests) and if so, it's entirely possible the handgun shooter hit Rosenbaum, not Kyle.

That's something ballistics will hopefully tell us. I know some people in threads here have suggested Rosenbaum's injury wasn't consistent with the caliber Kyle was shooting but I don't know enough to prove or disprove that.

In an even crazier possibility, given the proximity of all the events as they unfolded, it's entirely possible that the shooter in this frame is Mr Medic, who shortly after gets his arm shot when he threatens Kyle on the ground. Again, that's something ballistics will tell us far better than any dark video or stills.

So Rittenhouse didn't fire first ... hmmm .... there's something you don't hear in the media ....

Thanks for putting this together. I was unaware of all of this keeping up with the storms and it's so nice to have the timeline in one place.

It didn't

The Service Station was about 3 blocks away. I believe Rittenhouse was heading back there as he fled the Auto Service lot. He'd nearly reached it when he tripped in the road

To add perspective.

Here is the Service Station where Rosenbaum confronted militia types earlier in the night ...
"Shoot me n***ga!"



This is the Auto Service location where Rosenbaum chased KR and got domed.



This is where Skateboarder and Biceps Boi got hit.




Here are their relative locations

As far as skater and bicep guy

Appears the Skateboarder nut actually pulled at the barrel of the gun as he got shot. That may have been the cause of discharge.
