KENOSHA, WIS. -- The first man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse on the streets of Kenosha was acting "belligerently" that night but did not appear to pose a serious threat to anyone, a witness testified Friday at Rittenhouse's murder trial.
But Lackowski, who was called as a witness by the prosecution, said he viewed Rosenbaum as a "babbling idiot" and turned his back and ignored him. Rittenhouse is white, as were those he shot. Prosecutors have portrayed Rittenhouse as the instigator of the bloodshed, while his lawyer has argued that he acted in self-defense, suggesting among other things that Rittenhouse feared his weapon would be taken away and used against him.
Under cross-examination by Rittenhouse attorney Corey Chirafasi, Rasmussen was shown still images of Huber and Rittenhouse and said they appeared to show Huber touching the rifle. She also acknowledged that the absence of Huber's DNA on the gun doesn't mean he didn't touch it. Rittenhouse shot and killed Huber, a 26-year-old protester seen on bystander video hitting Rittenhouse with a skateboard. Rittenhouse then wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, who had a gun in his hand as he stepped toward Rittenhouse.
and belligerence is punishable by death!
Thought we couldn't say 'victim'.
Maybe don’t let a 17 year old with an AR-15 be the judge of people’s behaviour.
