On Tuesday, opening statements in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, an18-year-old aspiring police officer accused of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third on the night of Aug. 25, 2020, as BLM riots raged in the streets of Kenosha in response to a white-on-black police shooting.
While prosecutors have slapped the teen with two counts of homicide and one count of attempted homicide, Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to all charges, claiming self-defense.
Now, new footage has emerged which bolsters his case.
Before the shooting began, Rittenhouse, 17 at the time, was had arrived in Kenosha in order to help keep order and protect businesses from looting and arson.
“People are getting inured, and our job is to protect this business, and part of my job is also to help people. If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle, because I need to protect myself obviously. But I also have my med kit,” Rittenhouse said in footage recorded before the incident.
During the course of the evening, protesters became increasingly violent against Rittenhouse and the group he was with – eventually chasing the teen down the street when protester Joseph Rosenbaum was shot dead in the parking lot of a used car dealership. Shortly thereafter, Rittenhouse could be seen defending himself on the ground from multiple attackers – when he fatally wounded another, and shot the bicep of protester Gaige Grosskreutz who had drawn a pistol and was in the process of aiming it at the teen.
I will. In the first photo, we see one of the men bludgeoning Kyle Rittenhouse with his skateboard. In the other two photos, we see a man who—as Rittenhouse is laying on the ground—draws a pistol in an attempt to murder Rittenhouse, only to be shot himself. pic.twitter.com/RPQw8cpQqS

Now, Human Events’ Jack Posobiec reveals that the FBI sat on potentially exonerating evidence in the Rittenhouse case, where threats against Kyle can clearly be heard before he opened fire, as well as what appear to be muzzle flashes from people shooting at the teen. We recommend playing full screen.

Holy shit. He should have never been charged.

According to legal experts, Rittenhouse has a strong case.
To be clear:
The footage released by Human Events today clearly shows for the first time that Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self-defense and this case never should have been brought to trial
This is malicious prosecution

So again the FBI proves how corrupt they really are, they have become an enemy to this country and are also protectors of the swamp (Deep State) !
From top to bottom
It is true. The FBI is worthless to protect the United States against evil. They are evil not doing what they claim to do. Election Fraud. A Plague on the House of the DNC
I believe that the day of reckoning is coming soon and all of the corrupt politicians, big tech, the marxist media muppets, blm, antifa, the globalist are going to pay for their crimes against the American people and justice will be served swiftly and very harshly. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d58c6d89b376925bd689f1e325c77bfad9cae84dac8c0ac51d2bb927c1ad118b.jpg
FBI = Federal Bureau of Infamy – what a comedown for this once widely trusted and acclaimed agency.
The entire administration is corrupt and needs to be completely flushed and replaced, period!
Here AGAIN, the good people of THE FBI PROVES they need to be disbanded, NOT to be trusted, AND CHARGED WITH OBSTRUCTION!!! PERIOD!!!
This man is lucky to be alive!! Now he should sue the sh!t out the prosecutors and federal Gov’t. I’m sure there are plenty of lawyers to help this young man.
He’s got the best in Lin Wood!
That’s exactly what I said, he’s set in jail for defending himself, he deserves the money!!!!
The only reason he is charged is because the riots served the democrat party’s interests.
Wow how the fbi: is part of the problem.
Every FBI agent has been corrupted and everyone knows it, even Trump. So is the CIA, NSA and all the rest of the three letter communist agencies. Not to mention, evil, disgusting Twitter and so called Facebook! I could go on and on . . . . . . .
Protestors don’t loot and burn
The event leading to Mr. Rittenhouse’s arrest happened over a year ago, and the FBI is now admitting they have evidence of the event. Why did they wait so long to release it? I have yet to see the defense team ask that. If they held onto it because of orders from above, that puts it in the President’s lap, as the agency is under the Executive Branch of our government. Congress cannot issue orders to them, nor can the Supreme Court.
good shooting young man–you did nothing wrong–and everything correctly
It was a justified shooting, but he did do something wrong, he should have stayed home. One of the first rules you learn for self defense, stay out of riot areas.
Yes and allow the gas stations to be burned down and businesses destroyed and allow nothing to be done about it and allow Obama and Biden to call them “mostly peaceful protests” while Jan 6th was an insurrection! The truth must come out! He wasn’t there to shoot anyone only to protect businesses and the police should have done their job.
Agree with everything you say. The police should have done there job and all should be fired who did not including the mayor.
It’s so obvious that even a one eyed blind man can see the blatant corruption of the FBI.! Kyle rightly defended himself which justifies his actions. Sounds like Soros and the DNC had a hand in this!
We know that the FBI, CIA and the government are corrupt but it doesn’t matter, because nothing will change, they will be doing a same thing years from now, because nobody have enough balls to stop them.
He was definitely defending himself from a mob of insurrectionist that were out of control and there was no evidence of any law enforcement help for him. He is a hero.
once again the FBi is proven to have been aiding and abetting the criminals. Every single member of the FBI needs prison time.
It is clear the FBI wanted this video to show up after the the trail. that means the FBI was and is obstructing justice.
everyone at the top. majority of rank and file do a great job and do only what told. we need rank and file whistle blowers who are not afraid of being Arkancided.
I agree with the need for whistleblowers and those willing to stand up for truth and justice; however, doing what they are told was NOT a defense at the Nuremberg trials after WWII.
Those who did not do what they were told never made it to the trials
Just incredible that none of his attackers were charged with anything when they were clearly trying to kill Rittenhouse & the FBI were there gathering information! They’re attacking a man putting out fires but ignoring the people lighting them and trying to blow up a gas station!
Well one should be. The other two are speaking with their maker thanks to Mr. Rittenhouse, luckily
Rosenbaum was furious because they were putting out his fires. That’s why he was chasing Rittenhouse with the intention of taking him out. Incredible that within seconds he is bowing the knee to Jesus. God saved Kyle that day. Shooting a man with a pistol aimed at him in the arm is just incredible! Killing only people who are blatantly attacking him. Just incredible! No-one else harmed.
Actually, I am glad that Kyle Rittenhouse has been charged. There is no way that he can be convicted of any wrong doing (unless his defense allows the prosecutor a free hand to pick the jury) and this malicious prosecution will backfire in that those individuals who defend themselves will have an easier time later of also getting their charges dropped. The FBI needs to be held accountable for not releasing these vids earlier. Their lack of action in this case, proves political corruption.
Um, you say the FBI, oh how can that be?? Bunch of corrupt individuals they are!!!!
Free Kyle!
Maybe the FBI could also show the video they have of the JAN 6th murder at the Capitol in DC?? How long will they cover up that injustice?? Does Ashli Babbit ever get justice for her murder??
The FBI is a total disgrace to America. The FBI needs to be shut down and replaced with military CID – JAG & OSI until the FBI can be vetted of ALL CORRUPTION at every level and restructured with good honest law abiding agents from top to bottom. The FBI has become far to politicized to effectively perform the duties they have sworn an oath to uphold.
