If Gaige Grosskreutz shot Kyle Rittenhouse dead, would it have been self defense?

[Otis Mayfield]

We can all appreciate him being truthful

One thing that's obvious is that he could've shot Kyle Rittenhouse dead. If he did so, you think he would've gotten off on self defense?

The only person who survived being shot by Kyle Rittenhouse takes the stand

Gaige Grosskreutz, who was armed with a pistol on the night of the shooting, testified that his hands were raised when Rittenhouse pointed the rifle at him. He said he believed he "was going to die."

No.

He would had never been charged by this corrupt democrat DA.

But he certainly would had been guilty of murder if he did. He chased a person and joined in with a mob attacking him. Rittenhouse was in no way an “active shooter”, he was defending himself from a lawless mob, and this guy was one of them.

Oh God no. He is a liberal hero destroying city blocks

The libs would have never identified, much less prosecuted Mr. Grosskreutz if he had shot deplorables during the BLM riots in Kenosha.

Although, theoretically if there was a trial, the libs would have hailed him as a hero for all of his looting, burning and killing. The fact that the man wasn't charged even after admitting guilt to felonies on the stand shows what the reaction would have been.

Kyle points gun at Gaige. Gaige points gun at Kyle.

Who pulls the trigger first?

I think Gaige would've won on a self defense claim.

Also, the whole encounter between the two happened in like 5 seconds. Not a lot of time to think things through.

How long was Gaige chasing him? Seems like he had a while to think.

Whether did did or not...............

Probably would have worked if he had just dropped him from the get instead of running up on him the way he did. The Rosenbaum shooting is the one that will seal KR's fate. That is the one that seems to be the weakest for the defense.

The whole thing would have been swept under the rug.
The media wouldn't have released any videos of the event and nobody would have pressed charges.

Probably not because Gaige Grosskreutz pursued and attacked Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse will get off because video show everyone he shot pursued and attacked him.

Video shows Rosenbaum pursuing Rittenhouse from behind. Gives KR a solid self defense argument.

Depends on the facts. In this case, the FACT is that Grosskreutz pointed his gun at Rittenhouse before Rittenhouse shot him. If that situation were exactly reversed, then the same circumstances would apply.

The real tragedy here is that all of this was known before the trial even started, but as has become typical, the left was out for blood to make an example of someone who's different from them, so they cooked up a trial using false charges and got their asses handed to them, as usual.

Once you people learn that show trials based on trumped-up charges and mob anger have no place in a free country, we'll stop seeing this sort of circus.

Now go get your molotov cocktails and bricks ready, because I think your Christmas "shopping" season will be starting soon.

Actually, Rittenhouse pointed his gun at Gaige, and he stopped put his hands up.....Rittenhouse didn't shoot.....then Gaige pointed his gun at Rittenhouse and Rittenhouse fired........I believe that is the testimony so far..

Well, Rittenhouse must had his gun pointed at Grosskreutz or he wouldn't have hit him.

Once the gun was pointed at, or even in the general direction of, Grosskreutz, Grosskreutz could've fired.

Rittenhouse = "Road House"
Grosskreutz = "Big Cross"

Yeah, when the violent child rapist chases you,
screams he's gonna fucking kill you and grabs for your gun, self-defense is weak.

Yeah, that's how self defense works.

No. The commie was rioting. That would be like you going to your next door neighbor, assaulting him, and when he pushes you away you shoot him and claim self defense.

Rittenhouse HAD ties to Kenosha. Your hero's were the invaders.

Except he didn't know he was a rapist, never touched him, and did not direct the threat at KR
