Rittenhouse Acquittal - Full Analysis.

hey everyone me kevin here so in this

video we are going to talk about the

kyle rittenhouse case but what we're not

going to do is perpetuate a leftist

agenda or a rightist agenda or an agenda

of any kind in fact i'm just going to

provide some insights into some really

big problems in our society and

hopefully they might share some

perspective with you that could actually

affect the minds of people on both sides

to maybe see the sides of the other

folks a little bit more clearly so i'm

going to be as in the middle as possible

now usually when you try to be in the

middle you make friends with nobody but

that's what i do on this channel i focus

on logic i focus on making a money in

terms of finance stocks real estate

whatever it is entrepreneurship but i

also comment on politics that's because

i ran for governor in the state of

california and i came in second behind

larry elder to replace governor gavin

newsom in the recall election it was

very insightful but anyway as a result

and even before that i've commented and

covered politics a lot i do not profess

to be an expert i profess to be somebody

who uses logic as much as possible to

analyze situations that are happening

and that is what we're going to do in

this video so that does not mean i'm

going to provide every single fact in

detail here it might even mean i might

make a mistake but i'm going to do my

best to talk about this from a neutral

point of view to see what both sides

argue so getting right into it we know

that kyle rittenhouse was found not

guilty on all charges first not guilty

on first degree recklessly endangering

safety with the use of a dangerous

weapon first degree intentional homicide

using a dangerous weapon not guilty

attempted first degree intentional

homicide use of a dangerous weapon not

guilty and a first-degree recklessly

endangering safety using a dangerous

weapon not guilty we know that charges

five and six were actually dropped prior

to the jury's actual

verdict that was possession of a

dangerous weapon by a person under 18

that was dropped at the time kyle

rittenhouse was 17. there are certain

exceptions four people who are 16 and 17

but anyway this charge was dropped and

number six failure to comply with an

emergency order from state or local

government curfew this was also dropped

so the verdict was reached after three

and a half days and remember that in a

criminal case a jury has to come to a

decision unanimously so this means for

three and a half days

this jury

had three and a half days to either

make a decision and then sit there to

make people feel like they were talking

or

deliberate and ultimately come to a

completely unanimous consensus that all

of the jurors decided that cal

rittenhouse was not

guilty this was not a close call this

was a clear-cut case in the eyes of the

jury

but it's not a clear-cut case in the

eyes of

america many people are very unhappy

with this verdict and there are some

people who are very happy and i would

say we're probably around 50 50. in fact

the of the people who are unhappy we had

the hashtag sickening trending on

twitter we also had black lives matter

trending on twitter and then assaults

against hashtag antifa and hashtag

proudboys all trending on twitter today

this is the obviously upset side with

the verdict a lot of people are angry

and feel that justice hasn't been served

the aclu even came out and said that the

events in kenosha wisconsin stem from

the deep roots of white supremacy in our

society's institutions it's worth noting

that in this kyle rittenhouse case

two

non-black males were killed and one

non-black male

was injured but did survive

the aclu also said that rittenhouse's

trial highlights an urgent need for

reform for both police and the criminal

justice system

now uh it's worth taking a peek at uh

some of the things that we're trending

along with this again this is the

negative side and then we'll go ahead

and look at the side that is uh that is

uh positive or pro the case and then

we'll go through some of the details of

the case and some of the issues of the

events that unfolded so first take a

look at this one here

here's one that's trending with hashtag

blacklivesmatter on twitter let's be

clear if a black 17 year old had crossed

state lines to arm himself with an

illegally acquired assault rifle

attended a mag a rally picked a fight

and shot three people killing two of

them the trial would simply be a

formality he'd be in prison for life so

it's very important that when we see

these uh

short synopsis of arguments that are

hypotheticals that are trending on

twitter or or that are associated with

trending tags it's very important to

remember that

we've got to analyze every single case

the way it happened and not the way it

could have happened so i i purposely

bring this up so that when you see these

on twitter i encourage people generally

not to share things that are

hypotheticals

that's not because we shouldn't opine or

potentially consider those things but in

a case it's important to consider the

facts of what actually happened and in

this case we had a white individual

attend a protest remain at a protest

after the curfew had expired along with

other protesters and other armed

individuals the individual at the center

of this case kyle rittenhouse was

obviously armed with an assault rifle

which is legal in the state that he was

in

and

ultimately that is what we should be

discussing the facts of this case and

that's what we're going to do

now it's also important that when we

compare non-hypotheticals that we

consider that every single case has

pretty extreme details that can go into

it for example here's another one of

those comparisons where we have a photo

of a black individual and a photo of a

white individual the top one says tamir

rice was 12 and was killed for having a

fake toy gun kyle rittenhouse 17 killed

two people walked by police after

killing two people got to go home and

sleep obviously there is so much more

detail here we're going to talk about

kyle rittenhouse's case in just a moment

especially the part about him walking by

the police and we'll discuss exactly the

details of this but let's talk briefly

about tamir rice just so that if you're

not familiar with tamir rice you can see

there's a lot of detail that goes in and

remember my goal is to be as in the

middle as possible here and report

some of the details that we know so we

can try to put together a picture and

see there's a lot of nuance anytime one

of these cases comes up consider this

with tamir rice so the person one of the

people who called the police mentioned

that tamir rice or somebody he didn't

know that it was tamir rice but

described the individual who ended up

being tamir rice was at a park

doing what looked like waving a gun at

people

it was potentially a juvenile

potentially waving a fake gun

but the distressed nature of how the

person spoke on the phone for whatever

reason

and this is not to make excuses just

what happened let the dispatcher not let

officers responding know that it's

possible this was a kid with a fake gun

and unfortunately when an officer rolled

up at the park and identified or saw an

individual that matched the description

of tamir rice in a snowy environment

slammed on the brakes of his police

cruiser ended up accidentally sliding 40

feet to come right

next to where the potential person with

a gun was to where the officer got out

of the vehicle and saw somebody clearly

and this is unknown to anyone we just

saw somebody clearly moving their hands

by their waist ended up getting shot and

so this begs a lot of questions right

with so many disasters that happened in

the tamir rice case just like we have so

many disasters that compounded it

happened in the rittenhouse case i mean

consider this why was communication not

better to where the officer might have

known this is potentially a juvenile

potentially with a toy gun why was that

not communicated why does an officer

drive up to a park not on the street uh

speeding up to a park to the point where

they might actually have to slam on the

brakes and slide 40 feet why why did

they not stop earlier right there are a

lot of questions was a gun actually

noticed uh what was was something in the

individual's head we we have no idea but

what we know is we expect cops to be

trained not to slide cars up to

potential gunmen and then go oh shoot

pop-pop right now obviously so many

details but again when we can when we go

back and i'm sort of laying the

groundwork for a discussion that we're

going to have on kyle rittenhouse when

we go back to this here

it's not as simple as uh what three or

sorry eight nine warded tweet here it's

not as simple as tamir rice was 12 and

killed for having a fake toy gun there

were a lot of circumstances in the tamir

rice case that certainly were not fair

to tamir but there were also some things

that were

my

a belief

not fair to the officer why were they

not armed with better information why

were they not potentially trained better

for responding to these situations where

their car isn't going sliding 40 feet in

front of tamir rice who could have

potentially had a real gun right

there are so many circumstances that go

into these cases and comparing

real cases to other cases is very

dangerous comparing real cases to

hypotheticals

is even worse so in this video we're

going to talk about real cases and that

includes the cal rittenhouse case of

course you had a lot of statements come

out from almost everybody of the

political arena donald trump put out a

statement in support and joe biden put

out a statement of while in or while the

verdict in kenosha will leave many

americans feeling angry and concerned

myself included we must acknowledge the

jury has spoken but let's now look a

little bit and what some of those on the

positive side had to say and then let's

talk about the case itself a little bit

now some say that not guilty is not

enough in the written house case they

actually at one point we saw sue biden

trending on twitter and there are many

individuals who are suggesting that uh

biden should be potentially sued for

defamation and so should potentially

media organizations be sued for

potentially defaming written house and

this was especially in regards to a

2020 uh september of 2020 right before

the election tweet by joe biden who at

the time was a presidential candidate

and the tweet included an image of

rittenhouse carrying an ar-15 with the

caption quote there's no other way to

put it the president of the united

states refused to disavow white

supremacists on the debate stage last

night and some folks are saying hey kyle

rittenhouse should not be

defined a white supremacist this is

define or this is defaming to kyle

rittenhouse and of course in addition to

calls for potentially defamation

lawsuits we have millions of tweets and

comments in support of the written house

trial just like we have

millions of tweets and comments against

the written house trial this is the way

uh politics uh is polarized in america

today and now we're going to talk about

the details of the case i do want to

make a comment that it's probably

unlikely there would ever be a

defamation lawsuit filed by kyle

rettenhaus because you would have to

approve typically financial damages or

actual monetary damages so an example of

defamation that might prove

defamation or a defamation lawsuit might

be let's say you don't know me and

you've never known me and i have a car

dealership and you pretended to buy a

car from my car dealership but you never

did you just left me a one-star review

and said i can't believe this person

sold me a lemon what a scumbag but you

never bought a car from me you never

even came to my car dealership you never

even heard about me you just went around

and essentially trolled somebody with

one star reviews that that were not true

well in theory if that car dealership

could sue the person who left that

one-star review that was not true and

prove that hey that day your review came

up i lost three car sales to somebody

else well now you might be able to prove

a financial damage so usually proving

financial damages is very very difficult

in defamation cases and i know because

i've personally been involved in

defamation cases before not regarding

business reviews or anything totally

different things but

the legal

arena is is

people generally jump to oh well let's

counter sue usually once a case like

this ends you put it to bed you want to

move on you go to media you write a book

whatever you move on uh from the legal

system it's just not a fun place to be

in okay so let's now talk about some of

the background of the case and some of

the problems that go into the case that

make this sort of the disaster

of a hotbed evening that it was in

kenosha washington so we know that

protests were happening in kenosha

washington two days after the jacob

blake shooting where jacob blake

had a knife and went to his car he was

shot seven times by police in the back

he was paralyzed

the

instance expanded over the next few

hours to where a protester started

gathering around where the actual

shooting took place and there were

protests and marches held in the

following days and kenosha washington

two days later is where cal rittenhouse

enters the scene kyle rittenhouse who

was 17 at the time traveled a few miles

from his home it was across the state

border but it was relatively close to

kenosha on august 25th 2020. now

rittenhouse showed up with a medical kit

and an assault rifle style weapon he

ended up killing two individuals and

wounding one we're going to get to the

details of this in a moment now he did

arrive and was potentially brought to

the scene by facebook posts encouraging

people to come to kenosha to defend the

area or the city the town

against rioters and looters and to this

kyle rittenhouse responded and again

showed up with an assault rifle and a

medical kit

the kenosha county sheriff david beth

ended up saying that people believed

that a quote militia or quote vigilante

group was patrolling the streets that

night that's directly from the sheriff

uh the

actual descriptive words are

very very much a topic of contention

some folks say this is antifa some folks

say proud boys some folks say these are

just people expressing their rights

we're going to get into some of the

details of the problems of all this now

ridden house appeared on video several

times that night alongside some of these

individuals who were armed

and it's important to know that

vigilantism itself is a very important

topic vigilantism is generally deemed to

be a self-appointed non-authoritative

law enforcement or style of law

enforcement vigilantism in the united

states is strongly associated with

concepts like the citizens arrest and

it's also commonplace for individuals

who might partake in vigilantism to flex

their rights

this can include things like open carry

in a situation that might make others

feel uncomfortable because it's their

right for example one of the individuals

who was on the street right

that evening said that their rights do

not end where your feelings begin and

this is obviously a twist on our supreme

court who has previously said your right

to throw a punch stops where my face

begins

and so obviously when individuals who

are expressing their rights respond

almost in somewhat of a form of

counter-protesters to other protesters

who were there in this case black lives

matter protesters there immediately

becomes a confrontational environment

where you do have this feeling of okay

you've got protesters then you have

armed citizens and then you have law

enforcement and multiple times

throughout that evening we noticed that

law enforcement seemed to be essentially

on the same side as the armed citizens

in

essentially patrolling

the

individuals who were protesting or

marching or demonstrating now it's also

important to remember that not every

protester protests or marches to riot or

loot or cause damage and not every

individual who is carrying a gun seeks

to kill or murder somebody and not every

individual who has a gun potentially

doesn't want to hurt somebody the same

thing goes for people who are going to

protest some people want to cause damage

right the motivations of each individual

person are always hard to determine and

it's important not to sort of cast

anyone with a gun with one definition

that they're murderers or they're a one

group of people just like it's important

not to cast all protesters as one group

of people as writers or looters right so

we want to stay away from sort of broad

definitions when we're looking at this

now before the shooting a conservative

website called the daily calder caller

conducted a video interview with

rittenhouse this was

within a few hours prior to the shooting

in front of a boarded up car dealership

and in that interview kyle rittenhouse

said it was his job to protect the

business

of course businesses didn't reach out to

uh 17 year olds like kyle rittenhouse to

hire them to be essentially mercenaries

on the property but he believed that it

was his responsibility in society to be

present and so that way quote if

somebody was hurt i'm running into

harm's way that's why i have my rifle

because i can protect myself but i also

have my med kit in other words kyle

rittenhouse made the argument that hey

you know i'm here to help if something

goes wrong or if some madness breaks out

which remember

when you have peaceful marches or

protests usually people don't get hurt

what we had in kenosha that evening was

law enforcement when curfew time came

shooting tear gas and rubber bullets and

individuals and and this can quickly

escalate intention

tensions this is very very bad uh in the

interview he also pointed out that there

were many militia members or or other

armed individuals we shouldn't

necessarily define them as militia

members but other uh armed individuals

on rooftops to which rittenhouse

responded that their job is to provide

overwatch and protect me implying that

he was he was present with some form of

group this becomes very important going

forward

but we also begin to

in in this place

take a moment to say

let's ask for a moment what kind of

training would we expect somebody to

have who would be responding potentially

to uh a violent instance what if

somebody was swinging a knife what kind

of training would somebody have to

respond to a knife encounter what kind

of training would somebody have to

respond to a physical altercation if

they have a long gun and somebody's

right on top of them with a foot or a

skateboard we'll talk about that right

what kind of training would somebody

have to actually treat a bullet wound

having a med kit doesn't necessarily

imply medical training to treat bullet

wounds and

especially the medical training to treat

bullet wounds under the stress that

somebody else might walk up to you and

punch you in your face for thinking that

maybe you actually did something wrong

or coming to their own conclusion right

so there is this societal question that

when you're in these

circumstances

of a hotly uh tense evening where people

are being

shot with you know rubber bullets or

tear gas and they're being corralled by

law enforcement or uh they're being

assaulted verbally assaulted or accosted

by individuals on the other side then we

know tensions and emotions and anxieties

and stresses are going to be at elevated

levels right and one thing that i

learned when i volunteered in law

enforcement i have three thousand hours

of law enforcement i felt like it was

one of my jobs one of the things that we

learned when we were training in law

enforcement was that

when you are in stress you fall to the

lowest level of your training you don't

rise to expectations when you're under

military style stress when bullets are

flying you don't

perform optimally you perform at your

lowest functional level you get tunnel

vision uh your most of your senses uh go

out of the window your your heart is

pounding uh you you have blurry vision

things become a disaster

and you really fall to the level of your

training and so if you're not used to

being in those sorts of situations and

being able to deal with

your heart racing uh your blurry vision

your tunnel vision your your ears

filtering out sound uh

you're going to have problems responding

and so training becomes really really

really important in crisis situations

when it comes to especially responding

to

active shooters or medical emergencies

especially around weapons so this is

something that societally i think is

very important for all of us to think

about that if somebody is a

demonstrator who's staying after a

curfew tensions are going to elevate

generally after curfew no matter what

the same is true of people who are

responding to in theory be there to help

individuals

uh if

they're there after curfew they're

essentially walking into an environment

where

most people probably substantially lack

training i don't profess have any

training in this i'm just saying

training becomes very very very

important so uh

the further question that comes out of

this is when you have instances of

individuals staying past curfew

should there be more police or should

there be less police should the police

just leave or should there be enough

police to protect against any potential

danger or risk that could end up

escalating in a situation in this case

we end up finding

police was not exactly nearby or present

to prevent additional

shootings and ultimately deaths in this

kyle rittenhouse case

so whether the police was just in a

different area or there was not enough

police maybe there shouldn't have been

more police there were clearly some

societal problems here one of the

societal problems is people staying

beyond a curfew on both sides a second

societal problem is

very likely a lack of crisis response uh

for

training

from individuals who are putting

themselves into the way of crisis

uh while also

flexing their rights so anyway this is

where it becomes very important that at

points during the written house

interview uh him and a partner were were

seen walking

asking individuals if they needed

medical attention at which point one

individual protester actually shouted at

written house and said hey

you were an individual who earlier was

intimidating me to step out of a vehicle

you weren't offering medical attention

then you were intimidating now cal

written house didn't shoot anybody at

that point he wasn't threatened but

there were certainly confrontations

right

now just after 10 pm is when the

interview in front of the

car dealership with written house

happened a little over an hour later

around 11 10 or so protesters gathered

at a gas station just a few streets down

and this is where really the first most

critical video footage of rosenbaum one

of the shooting victims at the gas

station in a verbal altercation becomes

very very important but there's also

something important to know about

rosenbaum before we even get to what

happened

rosenbaum was an individual who was

previously seen escalating situations by

shouting at any armed individuals

begging essentially the armed

individuals to shoot him

going up to people and making the motion

of shoot me go ahead and shoot me it's

also worth noting that rosenbaum was an

individual who was just hours earlier

in a hospital being treated for a mental

health issue and suicide attempt

this brings up yet another societal

issue and so you could see the the

convergence of many societal issues that

we have enough police too little police

staying after curfew

training

lumping assumptions about uh people

because of how they look or which side

of an aisle they stand on right

these are all compounding societal

issues that are massive issues on top of

that mental health

consider this in the state of california

we have such a mental health crisis

that individuals who are homeless are

told oh go get mental health help

but are somehow expected to be able to

get clean enough and have the money to

get in an uber get a ride to a general

care

physician get a referral to a mental

health care professional one that

presumably would not be a private care

mental health professional because the

individual would be unlikely to afford

it so it'd be some form of public mental

health care and so they'd likely have to

wait three to six months to actually get

a mental health appointment and then

even if they got that mental health

appointment they'd have to somehow be

able to make it to that appointment on

time when that appointment time comes or

risk being back in the loop of a three

to six month wait for mental health

cycle after again going to their general

care physician this becomes very

difficult for a lot of people in our

society we have a massive

mental health crisis in our country we

do not teach me in schools we teach pe

in schools we teach physical education

but we do not teach mental education we

also do not have a very robust mental

health

well infrastructure if you need mental

health help you are waiting

waiting is not an option for many people

who have mental health

unless you say you are going to kill

yourself

you might get locked up in a hospital

and kept there against your will until

you are deemed potentially no longer a

risk to yourself or others

but that's not mental health care

that's you getting locked down for a few

hours until they throw you back out on

the street we have mental health crises

in this country and so

look at all these things that are

compounding

elevated stress lack of training

potentially lack of police

group assumptions

and mental health crises combined with

tensions and weapons

this is

literally a cauldron of disaster

that's what you have you have a cauldron

of disaster and all of these

circumstances are very very important

now around 11 30 rittenhouse is uh at a

scene asking police for water and the

police end up telling written else and

his group that the police appreciate

the armed individuals some people are

going to say vigilante some people are

going to say armed individuals some

people are going to say militia folks

whatever

at this point that doesn't matter

because we're just going to focus on the

facts of the case here at 11 48

for some reason rosenbaum ends up

chasing

on video

and throwing a bag a plastic bag with

some belongings at written house

ridden house who's being chased shoots

rosenbaum four times uh potentially

again afterwards ridden house testified

that he did so in self-defense because

he was being chased and after rosenbaum

threatened the life of rittenhouse and

attempted to grab britain house's gun

rittenhouse shot rosenbaum and this was

all testified in a very emotional

testimony

keep in mind that the attorneys

defending written house

had two mock trials

before the actual trial one where

rittenhouse

testified

and one where he did not

and the defense attorneys found that in

the case where riddenhaus was able to

emotionally present his fear and his

terror the jury was much more likely to

believe him and so that's exactly the

strategy the defense took

now after the shooting rittenhouse is

seen approaching and standing over

rosenbaum as rosenbaum is bleeding from

a wound to his head

in this event rittenhouse did not

administer medical assistance instead

you see him get on a phone call and look

around nervously now nobody knows

exactly what went through rittenhouse's

mind at this point but an expectation is

that adrenaline levels were at max

that tunnel vision was at max that

hearing was at max

and at the same time other individuals

were starting to be seen coming and

running towards the person who was lying

on the floor one person took off their

shirt to begin administering aid but

rittenhouse did not

and some individuals

believe that this is because people

began shouting at rittenhouse

accusing him of being the shooter and it

looked like people were going to start

being aggressive towards written house

because now people who did not see what

happened were making the judgment that

ridden house was bad

not knowing what had happened

and began to chase rittenhouse as he

fled so ridden house

left and this becomes a very critical

moment because

ridden house was present with many other

people who previously were deemed to be

part of his group or protecting him by

watching over him from the roof or

whatever

and

there were arguments made that he was

there to provide medical attention the

problem was when rittenhouse

shot rosenbaum rittenhouse was alone it

appeared he was not around any of the

other individuals he was with

that means he didn't have support

with him

he didn't have a radio that he could hop

on to call support he had no method of

crowd control likely had no way of being

trained to actually

provide care to somebody he just shot

after feeling like he was going to get

attacked and have his gun taken away and

potentially killed himself

no way of responding to potentially

other people coming up going hey you

just shot that person i'm going to punch

you in the face and kill you

no way of defending against that and so

backed into this corner fight or flight

sets in it's human nature and

rittenhouse left and ran

this is when rittenhouse is seen running

down the street

chased

and now technically

somebody in theory if you want to be a

sort of textbook analyst somebody could

have in theory take for example

california penal code 837 said something

like in accordance with statue or penal

code yada yada yada

i am conducting a

citizen's arrest upon you and in theory

cal ridden house should have stopped oh

okay i guess you're arresting me and

given up

that's technically what books say but

given the cauldron of disaster that

we've talked about

it's very unlikely that anybody would

even respond to somebody shouting such a

citizen's arrest command uh in in uh

wisconsin you don't even have a specific

state statute you just have common law

that implies that people might have the

right to conduct a citizen's arrest but

uh i i can tell you if somebody came up

to me and said you committed a crime i'm

conducting a citizen's arrest to you

i i have quite a good feeling that my

response would not be very positive to

that so

the issue at this moment

is also and it's worth pausing here to

say

how how would things have been different

if law enforcement was present

the moment the shooting took place and

when written house started running

could law enforcement have responded in

a

coordinated manner to detain written

house and to stop other individuals

maybe

but law enforcement wasn't there

remember that tweet i showed earlier

that showed the picture saying that

rittenhouse just walked past law

enforcement

but remember also

earlier before the shooting rittenhouse

was being thanked by officers

and was given water

what probable cause would law

enforcement officers have had to stop

ridden house when he had walked away

when

cars were driving by him on the street

and he was walking by with his hands up

they would have no way of knowing at the

moment what had happened because they

weren't present

now of course there were other people

yelling and screaming

that rittenhouse had shot somebody

but that does you no good when officers

are inside of a vehicle

so obviously there were no officers at

the time the shooting occurred at the

time that written house ran

rittenhouse then tripped and fell and on

video you could see that a written house

ends up getting what looks like drop

kicked by an individual who runs and

chases him an unknown individual

jumps to cake written house and

essentially trips over rittenhouse

somebody else then comes over to try to

grab rittenhouse's gun

and then

hits rittenhouse's head with a

skateboard

again at this point it's worth

questioning the training and

the the

belief of individuals on both sides

are the individuals running up to a

person with an assault rifle trained to

respond to somebody who's potentially

committing a crime with an assault rifle

and now ridden house

is he potentially trained to respond to

people hitting him with a skateboard or

attacking him trying to take his gun

away his rifle away

probably not this all goes into the

cauldron of disaster so when rittenhouse

is on the floor he again feels that his

life is in danger

and turns to shoot the person who hit

him in the head with a skateboard

at the same time another individual

who was armed with a pistol

comes in at first has a pistol in his

hand with his hands up

and it's difficult to see

but at some point makes eye contact with

rittenhouse rittenhouse is seen turning

the gun to the individuals holding a gun

the person holding the gun then points

at ridden house and rittenhouse

shoots

this individual

in the bicep

this individual survived the person with

the skateboard

who was shot died

now craig the person who was shot

in his arm testified that he had treated

about 10 other people from injuries

including sustaining shots from rubber

bullets and pepper spray sprays

earlier see craig was not a black

individual

he was

not a protester he was actually an

individual

who also came armed with a medical kit

and a gun

whether that defines him as a militia

person a vigilante as a medic as a

counter-protester doesn't really matter

but the point is

when rittenhouse shot

the individual with a skateboard

craig the person who is shot in the arm

afterwards

is seen flinching with his gun putting

his hands up and responding in a shocked

manner after hearing a bullet being

fired in the wild this is not a shooting

range

shooting range don't shooting ranges

don't teach you how to respond to active

shooters and somebody actually shooting

an assault rifle next to you

and so based on the reaction you could

see that the person who survived the

survivor with the pistol

is in shock and probably also

disoriented and falling to the level of

his training the level of his training

when an assault rifle goes off is oh

it's not training

it's bad

it's very bad again the cauldron of

disaster

now

after hearing that the shooter

ran up the street

craig

testified

that he followed because maybe his

services of a medic might be needed

and that he thought the defendant was an

active shooter

both rittenhouse and craig were

self-proclaimed medics to some degree

now regarding why he chose not to shoot

written house when rittenhouse shot this

person with a skateboard

he testified that quote i spent up until

that point spend my time my money my

education providing care for people it's

not who i am i'm definitely not somebody

i would want to that's definitely not

somebody i would want to become

and in that moment i thought

i tried to attempt a non-lethal way to

end the interaction

so now in summary there are a lot of

really big problems that we have to talk

about

or at least think about as a society

because we might not have conclusions

for them

if there had been more law enforcement

would the situation have been better

that is a question to fund or to defund

the police many would argue that police

should be funded and trained more

to prevent situations like these

others would argue if law enforcement

hadn't been pushing protesters away to

enforce a curfew towards these armed

individuals this situation would have

never happened either

which makes the argument for potentially

too much police

we clearly have a mental health crisis

and clearly individuals responding

or being present after curfew

in an environment where people are being

shot with rubber bullets and tear gas

and there are other people present with

knives and guns

probably individuals without training

for

responses to medical emergencies or

active shooters should probably not get

involved

but this case didn't come down to

litigating whether we need more or less

police in our society it didn't come

down to determining whether we need more

mental health education it didn't come

down to

whether

we should have training or mandatory

training for people with medicaids or

with guns it didn't come down to an

argument over whether we should have

guns or not

that didn't matter

because this case came down to

with the cauldron of disaster that we

had

did written house have the right to

defend himself by taking the lives of

two others this case did not come down

to did written house show up to murder

people

is ridden house a white supremist is

written house anti-black this was not

what the case was about that's what the

media portrayed the cases about but it's

not what it was about

case was about

after the disaster of what happened

was an individual justified in killing

two people and shooting another and the

jury unanimously decided that yes the

individual was justified and therefore

acquitted upon all charges

now the debate will continue to rage and

this will continue to be a flash point

for black lives matter and for

uh freedom fighters proud boys antifa

what whatever

or individuals who just want to carry a

gun

and protect property or provide medical

care or attend a protest because they

feel like it or flex their rights

because they want to

and that's it

if there's something that i missed i'd

love to hear from you but this is my

summation of uh the events that unfolded

in kenosha washington my heart goes out

to

anyone affected by this

cauldron of disaster and i certainly

hope that we can solve the societal

issues that we have
