As Mandrill said, that doesn't happen.
The video has shown up in two places now.
1) some unknown blog that says it proves KR is innocent
2) court, where the prosecutor says it proves KR instigated the violence
We've seen this before.
Giuliani in Public: ‘It’s a Fraud.’ Giuliani in Court: ‘This Is Not a Fraud Case.’ (Published 2020)
Keep an eye on what President Trump’s lawyers say about supposed voter fraud while they’re in an actual courtroom.
So why do you believe the blog and not the people staking their careers on what they present in court?
No. On the Gun Rights talk show podcast that Kathleen found, they have a photo of Rosenbaum with what they claim is a chain - to be used as a weapon. From which they spin that the prosecutor "lied" and Rittenhouse is clearly innocent.
Well, considering that this thread is about Rittenhouse, I'm not sure why you and your buddies are bringing up Trump.
Isn't this when you and your friends start going on about "Trump Dysphoria Syndrome"?
Such nonsense...who's the troll now? obviously you have no argument...just stick with the "Hamas are freedom fighters" topic...
If the last bullet went into the vic's back? And the vic was already falling after the impact of the first 2 bullets?
I guess that KR can argue that it all happened pretty fast. But still.
it did happen pretty fast, from just standing there to being chased at and assaulted to shooting the other dude...from a guy who's may have fired his gun at a shooting range but really no experience in gun fights...
Yes, this teenager, self declared medic, armed with an illegal assault weapon got into this fight very quickly.
The onion article sums up the claims of the defence, that once he got involved he thought his life was at risk so was justified in killing anyone he felt was a threat.
He had no business being there as a 'medic' with an assault weapon.
Apparently, there are complaints about the "colour" of the jury.

Don't you love how some people think they have the high moral ground when they are defending some human trash who tried killing a teenager?
Well, so far you have Rosenbaum, who grabbed at the AR and got shot, Skateboard Dude who wacked KR to the ground and got shot and Vic #3 who may or may not have had a gun who got his elbow blown off.
Not much evidence of anyone trying to "kill" KR. KR may have reasonably perceived his life to be threatened and that's something for the jury. But there are no obvious actual attempts to kill KR on the record.
Whatever Rosenbaum was "into with minors" has no relevance to the murder trial.
If KR had reason to fear for his life or believed he was at great risk for serious injury, that would be reasonable grounds for self-defense, no?
Correct. And it's complicated, because he subjectively needs to have the belief and it also has to be objectively reasonably held. But if someone chases you and grabs your gun - i.e. the Rosenbaum situation - you can argue it.
There is also caselaw that if you provoke the other person into attacking you, you just get a reduction to manslaughter and not an acquittal. So there's a lot to think about.
Correct. Still what kind of fucked up society let teens running down the street at night shooting at people? This is the US he will get away with this. Still crazy AF!
And if KR was black... He'd already behind bars if not dead.
