@KNOWITALL He drove 30 minutes to get there. Ok. So did Anthony Huber. Rosenbaum came all the way from Waco Tx. Grosskreutz split the difference and had to drive about an hour. So I guess you could say they all came there to do wrong, eh?
As for pulling the gun, you are absolutely correct. But the actual rule is you don’t point it at someone unless you intend to use it. Carrying a gun is FAR different that pointing it at someone. Rittenhouse had a rifle. You can’t put a rifle in a holster. You can carry it at arms, with the business end pointing away from everyone. Which, from what I saw on the videos, is what he was doing. Until he was attacked.
Premeditation means he went there with the express purpose to shoot people. None of his actions show that to be a true statement and there is zero evidence to say he did that. And by your own citation, his intent was to protect property and give medical assistance. That shoots a big hole in the premeditation theory. Face it…he isn’t the bloodthirsty killer the left is trying to make him out to be. He did not shoot anyone until they attacked him first. That isn’t premeditation…that is self-defense. He was even trying to run away from them until they overtook him.
And as for guns, Grosskreutz had one as well. He was carrying it concealed when his concealed carry permit was expired. I saw one article that shows he was arrested in 2015 with possessing a firearm as a felon. So how did he have a gun at all? And by his own admission under oath in court, he pointed his gun at Rittenhouse first, before Rittenhouse pointed his rifle and shot him. That is the definition of self-defense by Rittenhouse.
I have to wonder why you are so adamant about painting Rittenhouse as some out of control terrorist when all the evidence shows that is not the case.
