Gaige Grosskreutz was one of the attackers of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha Wisconsin last year. After giving testimony earlier today attempting to paint himself as a victim of Rittenhouse, the witness/attacker admitted today in during cross examination he was shot only after he threatened Rittenhouse by pointing a gun at him inches away from his head.
While the prosecution hoped Grosskreutz’s sketchy testimony would assist their case, the actual testimony supports the defense claim of Rittenhouse acting in self defense after being attacked by a mob. The crushing admission is below (prompted to 08:10) WATCH:
.
The prosecution case just collapsed. Rittenhouse, now 18, is charged with homicide and attempted homicide for shooting three people during the Kenosha riots as the mob attacked him. Rittenhouse shot and killed 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, 26-year-old Anthony Huber, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz. All of the people shot by Rittenhouse were attacking him at the time.
There remains a good chance that he’ll be convicted ANYWAY. Justice in the USA is no longer about guilt or innocence. It’s about POLITICS and persecution under color of law.
The prosecutor doesn’t look too sure of that.
Apparently he really was counting on his witness to lie and tell the jury that what everyone can plainly see on the video isn’t what they saw. That or perhaps the bulk of their case was made before the FBI was gracious enough to do its job and release tapes that should have been reviewed before any prosecution decision was made. It’s all fubar, and a mockery of our system of justice, no matter how you slice it.
It was shocking to see the guy not lie, and to admit he has zero regrets from that night. I would think getting your arm chewed up and people dying in the street would be regrettable? No?
The citizens of Kenosha, from whom the jury was selected, had no patience for the foreigners who invaded their town and caused all the trouble. Three were shot, two died. The sentiment is that at least for two, justice has been served. The DA who made the charging decision seems to have assigned the prosecution to an assistant. Some months after the riots ended, Trump did a rally that drew over 50,000. Rittenhouse should be given a key to the city.
The judges name is Schroeder.
Oh well.
Judge Schroeder is an old law and order judge, generally with a reputation of being harsh on defendants.
One would have to watch the trial to see the full contours here but as things are I could envision him entering a directed verdict of not guilty, it’s that clear that he’s had significant issues with the prosecution’s case.
I’ve probably watched 50-60 hours of it so far, speeding through some of it. After Binger’s opening statement, which was gangbusters IMO, really good, it seems to have gone markedly downhill for the prosecution since and Schroeder didn’t appear to be propping them up, at all.
What does it mean in the end? It comes down to how well the defense/prosecution analyzed the jury pool, presuming it goes to the jury.
The jury box, and our belief in equitable adjudication under the law, is the last stop before we go to the ammo box and then everyone loses. Let’s hope Lady Justice is preserved.
Yes this country is getting perilously close to the “ammo box” to respond to the totalitarianism and tyranny of the Democrats, deep state, corrupt Federal Judges and the corrupt politicians in both parties running this country all who have abandoned the Constitution!
Hopefully the jurors won’t be intimidated by outside agitators…
Thank God it is not a female judge.
“I could envision him entering a directed verdict of not guilty.”
Only if he has the brass balls of President Trump.
Otherwise, he will flaccidly capitulate to the mob.
That’s funny because there is another Schroeder involved as well. Ricky Schroder. He helped pay Kyle’s bail so he could get out of jail while awaiting trial.
Not just in the USA, I’v seen nonsense like that in Europe, and up here in Canada.
We’ve always known he acted in self-defense. We can only hope he is either exonerated or a hung jury. I would bet actual money at least one leftist intentionally infiltrated their way onto that jury. I think the best he can hope for is a deadlocked one and would be shocked at outright exoneration.
It didn’t matter what we knew, what mattered was Rittenhouse being able to fund a defense. We did that. A number of people did that at the cost of their jobs & others were doxxed.
Without a defense fund there would have been no trial or opportunity to to shove the false charges up the prosecution’s derrière. Thank God for GiveSendGo & for everyone that donated.
“All of the people shot by Rittenhouse were attacking him at the time.”
And every attack in question is on video. This is a case of using the process to punish the person because there is no real evidence against him upon which to base a substantive case for murder or even manslaughter.
A directed verdict of innocent is appropriate. There is nothing here that needs to go before a jury. Then, arrest and charge this witness.
It might be appropriate but there is more risk of an appeal by the state from a directed verdict of not guilty versus a jury verdict of not guilty.
As is, Kyle should expect federal charges next, especially if acquitted. Lawfare doesn’t throw in the towel easily and the Communists definitely don’t want citizens taking out their mercenaries in self-defense and getting away with it. It ain’t over yet.
Grosskreutz, et al IMO either collaborate with or are employed by the Communists as mercenaries so the system as it currently sits should protect them unless they’re deemed expendable. Some rioters have been charged and prosectuted/pleaded out and gotten prison time. Many weren’t charged.
One can spend some time in the Wisconsin state trial database and run them down, for the Kenosha riots. Same with the other summer of violence riots. See whose getting away with what, when and where. It’s all good information about the corruption in law enforcement and the judiciary.
They should simply tell Uncle Sam to pound sand. The FIB is already taking heat again for the Joe Diary, so at this point trying to lynch an innocent kid in court isn’t gonna play well with people.
FART BARF & ITCH doesn’t care! They are so corrupt and compromised that they should DISBANDED (as should many of the federal LE agencies). Too many of them take on the attitudes of the SS and Gestapo that they no longer act in accordance with their oaths to the Constitution.
Fart, barf & itch….
For a minute I thought this might be a reference to FJB’s European Adventure.
Yes exactly! This witness drew his gun and threatened Rittenhouse with it before being shot. That is a crime! My guess is nothing will be done to Grosskreutz and that is one of the basic issues with our two tier corrupt leftist Judicial system! Leftist are NOT being charged for rioting, looting, arson or assault with a deadly weapon! While a protest stroll through the Capital building on J6 will get you imprisoned, solitary confinement, no medical treatment, denial/postponement of legal counsel and a violation of the right to a trial without unnecessary delay – 6th Amendment!
Grosskreutz is planning on suing Kenosha for millions. The thing he really needs is a guilty verdict.
On what grounds? He choose to be there.
chose.
The survivor should have been arrested for attempted murder.
“[A]rrest and charge this witness.”
Felon in possession of a firearm.
Have been watching the trial. Prosecution should give it up already. The more they try, the worse it looks at this point.
If the jury is woke, it won’t matter!
Wow,the witness has no regrets!
If course not. He’s a damn scumbag Communist spawn of Satan.
It sounded as if the defense had information to prove the man had told his roommate something of importance about regret , but it was stalled at the end.
no, defense produced the instagram, but GG claimed he never said it. Instagram was written by roommate.
It may be necessary for him to get his other bicep “vaporized” before he comes to his senses.
Now, in this post-Constitutional failed state, it’s a miracle when the victims of mortal threats, whether those threats are pointed guns or vaccine needles, are vindicated when the accusers/witnesses get exposed for the vile thugs that they really are.
“The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.”—Psalm 9:16
Totally agree,the evil is being exposed not only in this case but all across our nation.It is up to us to stand with kyle and every instance like this.I for one will always stand up for what is right.If we don t these hyenas will continue to be emboldened.My hat s off to this young man.We pray everyday according to Psalm 68 1:3 Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2
As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3
But let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.We also pray for confusion to come to the enemies camp,which you see in this court case by their arrogant responses and the prosecution also seems to be confused.We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ ,and we thank Him for victory over the spiritual enemies which use people for their evil purposes
And will Grosskreutz now be arrested and charged with the “assault with a deadly weapon” of Rittenhouse? Which he just confessed to doing?
Somehow, I don’t think so … because he was working for the government.
Too many local DA and State Attorney’s offices are now populated and run by SOROS appointees. Yes, I said appointees because he selected them and backed them financially. It is SOROS, along with the feds who are the greatest threats to our liberties. I don’t normally say things like what I am about to say but it really is a shame that the SS missed Soros at Auschwitz.
state attorneys and DA’s all have addresses…We know who they are, and we know where they live…and the clock of freedom and justice is ticking.

Soros…..real name Georgy Schwartz…..his family were atheist ethnic Jews. He was never in any concentration camp.
His parents had a friend who was high up in the Nazi party whom they asked to protect and look after 14 year old Georgy. Georgy actually went with this Nazi officer to the homes of the Jewish people and take all the valuables.
He said he has no regrets.
Georgy Schwartz never said how he got his money to be able to become filthy rich……I think he was given valuables from the Jewish homes that were ransacked by his Nazi friends.
Unfortunately even before WWII the Communists and Fascists were already in the federal government, which is why these evil vile Communists and Fascists SOBs were allowed to come to the USA after the war.
Now look at the state of the country.
The troubling part for me, this witness admits he was shot after pointing a gun at another individual, and yet the witness continues on in testimony with a snarky attitude.
No regrets.
It’s crazy, but devoted leftists never seem to hear the words that come out of their own mouths. I’ve known several and this is the basic technique to out them. They never see themselves as the bad guy and will brag about what they’ve done.
Precisely why Project Veritas has been so successful. Easy to catch the leftists bragging about their crimes.
Liberals are an interesting species, for sure.
True story…
About half way through Trump’s first term, I happened to be in a group talking about politics in general and Trump’s name came up somehow. One guy who is a converted Jew (I’m not anti-Semitic; but, many US Jews are Dems) and whom I had suspected of being a liberal said, “What I don’t like about Trump is all the lies he’s told.”
I looked him in the eye and asked him exactly what Trump had lied about. He said Trump had lied about ‘a lot of things.’
I asked him to name one. He quickly looked down and said, “I don’t want to talk about it…”
I said, “Oh! Well… YOU bought it up; so, I thought you WANTED to talk about it.”
He clamed up; and, since that day, he has pretended to be a huge Trump SUPPORTER and even occasionally makes mildly derogatory comments about Democrats whenever he’s in my presence. I can only assume that once he learned I would question HIS lies, he prefers to avoid being called out by acting like he agrees with me on politics.
Not surprisingly, he and his wife (born a Jew; which, is why HE converted) both opted for the jab; even though, they’re both retired from the medical system. Both also still believe wearing masks and getting jabbed is a good thing. I haven’t seen him in person for several months; but, I’m sure they’re all in for the boosters, too…
Interesting and strange people, they are indeed…
Liberals are an interesting species, for sure.
Yes, and he’s tweeting about all of it. His newfound celebrity status.
Squash him like the bug he is. Antifa/BLM scumbag.
Just like Antifa’s/Dominion’s Eric Coomer. He also had a meltdown, but in his deposition. One day we will read about it too.
At least he’s telling the truth.
After being backed into a corner by the prosecutor rubbing his nose in a picture of his actions.
Defense lawyer landed several other body shots:
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2021/11/08/third-person-shot-by-kyle-rittenhouse-i-was-never-trying-to-kill-the-defendant-n2598749
Grosskreutz looks dopesick. I am sure he has developed quite the heroin/fentanyl habit when the doctor dope dried up after his brush with Truth, Justice and The American Way. May God Bless Kyle.
Not only that, Grosskreutz also testified that Kyle was being attacked by jump-kick man and Huber and that he (Grosskreutz) was concerned for Kyle’s saftey. Well, if Grosskreutz was concerned, imagine how the Kyle felt.
The prosecution is toast. If they somehow pressure the jury into a guilty verdict, the judge should step in and issue a directed verdict. Can he do that? If so, why not just do it now and save everybody’s time.
At this point the only thing they can even argue about is whether the shooting of the pedophile was self-defense (it was).
the judge has to know he is damned if he does or not… the only thing that will not result in the animals taking to the streets to destroy a few more blocks of the remaining republic, is a guilty verdict.
“Not only that, Grosskreutz also testified that Kyle was being attacked by jump-kick man and Huber and that he (Grosskreutz) was concerned for Kyle’s saftey. Well, if Grosskreutz was concerned, imagine how the Kyle felt.”
This had me laughing out loud!!! Nice piece of writing, joe!
Cuz you know, he has a tat Do No Harm? That proves he really cares.///
yes, GG tried to say he was following Kyle thinking he might need a medic. I kept wanting the defense to pause on the frame where GG pointed the gun at KR and say, “is this how you offer medical attention?”
I hope Richards takes in the full measure of the gifts the defense has received, and the current momentum of the trial and doesn’t do anything to mess that up.
As things stand now, even with the propaganda washing over the jury pool for the last year negative to Kyle, my bet is if they went to jury tomorrow he’d be acquitted.
for example, I would absolutely not put Kyle on the stand to let him be gotcha’ed
I heard that Kyle was planning to testify. Almost never a good idea
Wonder what the photo was taken at the hospital, of stupid guy and roommate
Me too.
From a now deleted Facebook post from Grosskreutz’ friend Jacob Marshals.
«… so, the kid shot Gaige as he drew his weapon and Gaige retreated with his gun in his hand. I just talked to [Gaige] too–his only regret was not killing the kid and hesitating to pull the gun before emptying the entire mag into him. Coward.”
“Should’ve killed him right then and there,”
https://nationalfile.com/kyle-rittenhouse-victims-only-regret-was-not-killing-the-kid-emptying-entire-mag-into-him/
Thanks val
Thanks Val.
Thank you. I was wondering what was said before it was pulled down.
If this guy thinks his arm is bad he should go visit a VA hospital. Punk.
TGP has it.
On another note, any up-talking witness should be held in contempt.
I need a shirt with that logo.
Man. It’s hard to tell these days when these thirty somethings talk whether they’re making a statement or asking a question.
This is 100% a political prosecution, the pictures and statements completely dismiss a rationale for a charge. The guy testifying should be the one on trial.
Exactly. But the mayors had orders from Obama/Soros to let their cities burn.
Somebody should ask Grosskreutz if he knows Ray Epps. Or Chris Wray.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Debra: Thanks for the analogies and the laugh!
Was there talk at one point about prosecuting Kyle on weapons charges because he was a minor at the time and therefore not permitted to carry said firearm?
The judge declined to dismiss the gun charge, which was possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle. He was 17 years old on the night of the shootings. Wisconsin law prohibits minors from possessing firearms except for hunting.
The charge is a misdemeanor punishable by up to nine months behind bars.
Time served.
This case is about making it illegal for people to defend themselves from leftists.
Excellent point! Antifa/BLM and our corrupt leftist msm already act like it. Now they’re trying to get it approved in court!
agreed.
and I am embarrassed for my countrymen that it took a 17 year old to finally push back against fascism. No one else had/has the cajones.
Also note the rioters backed off shortly after the self defense.
all of the rioters who did not have murder in their hearts. I would like to know why GG kept advancing.
The FIB had the evidence all along. Big surprise!
Bigger surprise was the witness actually being truthful.
More examples of FIB dropping grenades down their pants.
To think that he has no regrets of that night , yet 2 people lost their lives..To bad Kyle didn’t aim for the di$#it’s head
When doing close in work, it’s double pull. Lack of training.
Find the screen shot of the friend who visited- his regret was that he didn’t empty the whole clip into Kyle
Not only no protection under law for us, but law weaponized against us = no respect for the property or citizenship rights of of the oligarchs who have created this ‘new’ world order, or for their servants.
Legal Insurection has had outstanding daily coverage and analysis of the trial.
When there has been a trial by media the accused cannot get a fair trial. There should be a ban on reporting till the trial is completed and verdict announced. If the media reports beforehand they should be found guilty of obstructing justice.
If this prosecutor had any self respect he would drop the charges and apologise.
I could watch that clip all day. The prosecutor, face palmed as he realizes HIS witness just acquitted Kyle.
I’m hoping Kyle sues every single person, news organization, etc. who claimed his guilt for months before trial.
The pained look on Kyle’s face as he remembered the events in real time is enough evidence of self defense for me. Please join me in praying for Kyle and his well-being and his safety.
…Dang Antifa are like a pack of jackals trying to take him down AGAIN…with no remorse.
I won’t pray for Kyle. I’ll cover his flank and toss him another mag…the thing that goes up
Yes, that moment in the clip was so painful to watch. It was heartbreaking.
“Yes, that looks like my bicep being vaporized.”
Now that is worthy of a t-shirt!
And then that video of Rittenhouse trying not to laugh … I swear that kid has so much more control than I do. I’d have been giggling my arse off right there.
Vaporized, he needs to go to a VA hospital and see what vaporized really looks like.
That was the BEST moment of awkward silence I have ever seen. And the prosecution guy with his head in hand, ON PBS…wow is this scripted?
When the law breaks down, who is left take up the law?
Kyle Rittenhouse did just that.
When the law breaks down, and REFUSES to reestablish itself,
How are any crimes even prosecutable by the same law that abandoned the citizens?
What? The law gets to take time off, and when it’s ready, that same law has the jurisdiction that it deferred?
When the cops stand behind a line, and refuse to to do their jobs,
Reality becomes a free for all.
Sounds like the wrong guy is on trial.
Oh I’m sure they’ll charge and try “vapo-cep guy” for attacking a minor with a deadly weapon. Right?
Gaige Grosskreutz is a total jackass for thinking he was a freedom fighter that night and has paid for it with a less than functioning arm. At least he manned up and admitted that he got his arm “vaporized” by a person who only shot him after he pointed his gun at him.
Don’t get me wrong, he will still be in denial for the rest of his life because he has to. The truth of matter is he is a useless pawn of the Marxists and will be blocked from his mind at all costs.
That arm looks pretty good after the surgery. Wonder how much function he has?
he claimed to have function, just neuropathy
GG did not claim to be a freedom fighter that nite. He said he was neutral and there as an EMT. then defense asks him about his participation and SPEAKING at previous BLM rallies and GGs own recordings have him telling KR earlier to “Go home you ” POS or something equivalent.
After all these years, you’d think that by now the Bolsheviks could keep their stories straight and their lies fancifully woven.
Unfortunately as someone else posted up above there is a very good chance Kyle will not be acquitted. The jury is already being threatened by various lowlifes including someone related to “Saint” George Floyd. I hope the judge steps in and issues a directed verdict acquitting Kyle.
Just send out a tiger team and work the group that threaten the jury.
When will the prosecutors be prosecuted?
Exactly!
More evidence that the legions of good communists were not picked for their abilities but the ability to mouth the required dogmas.
wow. Great segment fr/ this trial.
No way a Jury convicts.
Follow up question should have been
Did you inform the prosecutor this is how it happened?
If so defense should file charges against the Prosecution.
Just look at prosecution reactions. Witness tells truth of what prosecutor was hiding.
Acquitted. Keep packing heat BLM and ANTIFA…
and killed 36-year-old pedophile, Joseph Rosenbaum
Must watch Grosskreutz at live. What a piece of work. He sunk his $10M lawsuit. Excellent job on defense. Defense should have asked if Grosskreutz was, AT ONE TIME, a member of the revolution groups cited (at least one he spoke at). Grosskreutz did scan the courtroom crowd and said there were members present.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/11/live-rittenhouse-trial-day-5/#more-369634
This case is clear self defense.
Now, the other case, the Auburry case of the slain jogger, that ones different.
At some point, the Left will abandon the Kyle fight completely, because the trial has made things clear, and focus totally on the Aubury case.
Which, IMO, the defendants(s) is (are) guilty of some kind of crime.
And it LOOKS really bad, with a truck full of white guys chasing down a black man over suspicions, resulting in the black mans death.
That case custom made for the Left to make hay with.
If the many people that have been doxxed and/or fired & those that remained anonymous had not funded Rittenhouse’s defense, he would have been convicted via a plea bargaining public defender.
Thank you to my fellow patriots for not allowing the lamestream media & demoncrap narrative stand unchallenged in a court of law.
I hope that those who were fired sue for wrongful termination & those who were doxxed sue for everything they possibly can.
May justice prevail.
The people who have helped Kyle have my utmost respect. I have a son his age and am angered about what they are doing to this kid. It sickens me to see that scum fake conservative grifter CEO of Black Rifle Coffee get fawning treatment from conservative media. I heard Rush’s replacements didn’t ask him any of the obvious questions after that NY Times article where he trashed the GOP base, and Maria Bartiromo treated him like some conservative hero.
No such thing as a Rush replacement, just saying. They are all hacks. I miss Rush horribly.
My favorite part of this video is the face on the court stenographer, who knew EXACTLY the implications of what the witness had just said, as she looks over at the prosecuting attorneys.
Priceless!
indeed. I had to turn away in order to protect my keyboard!
I hadn’t noticed that- oh, her expression ??. Thanks!
She looks like she is being attacked by a cobra every time defense council passes her chair. ?
If you are innocent, always forgo a jury trial. Put your fate in the judge’s hands. If you’re guilty, always go with a jury trial.
That poor young man Rittenhouse. This is the evil 0that the Nazis and communists are known for. Terrorize decent people and then destroy them them for defending themselves.
Lets see now, dead people can vote, but it is harder to get them to testify in court. So the DA ran out of “victim” witness’!
Thankfully, the guy told the truth! The prosecution is over!
I wonder why he told the truth? It is totally out of character for these Antifa types.
gg had already tried not telling the truth, claimed he wanted to offer KR medical attention after being hit with skateboard he thought he might have head trauma. I wish defense had asked, “do you always lead with your gun hand to offer medical attention?”
In the direct examination of Grosscruetz, the prosecutor elicited testimony at the moment before the shooting of the witness that Rittenhouse had racked his weapon and Grosscreutz assumed that the trigger had been pulled, but the rifle had misfired, and when a new round was in place, he would be shot. That was why he dropped his hands and mover toward Rittenhouse with the gun. The prosecution is grasping at straws to impeach the self defense claims. I think the video is too fuzzy to determine if the rifle was racked. I wonder if this could be the reason that the high definition video from the FBI was lost?
the odds that these savages know what a “racked” rifle looks or sounds like s very low.
If they are Professional agitators they probably do. These demonstrations are full of foreign and domestic agents looking to exploits the situation.
Of course the FBI video was “lost”. It destroys the prosecution.
How does a judge not throw the entire case out for such an important piece of evidence being “lost” by the FBI?
Kyle is not Black or Hispanic. That’s how!
The judge is compromised as is the prosecution not to mention the FBI and the Police. They are all corporate shills owned by a maritime law corporate fake NWO government, at least they still think so! Apparently President Trump did not allow the now fake Biden to renew the contract signed by U.S.Grant in 1871 giving our country over to foreign service corporations and plunging us into 150 years of (worldwide)
manipulation with disastrous wars and theft of our national treasure. The contract is null and void and we
are all now again Free and Sovereign, Living Human Beings. Thank you all for waking up. God bless.
The AR platform is a self loading weapon. Once a magazine is placed, (this case a 30 rounder) and the bolt is sent forward chambering the first round, it self loads until all rounds are expended by pulling the trigger or the magazine is dropped and the loaded round ejected via the charging handle. Kyles weapon was loaded and a round chambered with his weapon on “safe” prior to him shooting Commie 1.
What do you mean by “racked”?
If there is a misfire, the bolt is pulled back to bring another round into the chamber.
The misfire was a way the prosecutors tried to get the upper hand.
If there was a misfire (I highly doubt) there would be a full round on the street.
Misfires happen when the primer is either wet, in to deep or to much carbon buildup inside the bolt assembly.
chances of any of these things happening are ZERO!
Failure to feed is not uncommon.
Not on the first round, and if it did you would know IMMEDIATELY because the bolt would not close home when you released the charging handle or closed the bolt. In my almost ten years in the Army and owning multiple AR-15s I have never had a misfire. Maybe I was lucky, did have a couple double feeds in basic as my A-1 was darn near worn out. The upper and lower receiver were super loose from being taken apart and put back together so many times and the magazine springs were basically shot too.
Then there would be a misfired round on the ground, if he had the chance to recycle it. Was there a misfired round in the evidence?
I had a misfire on the army qualifying range once and it was becsause the spring
Incorrect immediate action. 1: Slap magazine upward.2: Pull charging handle to the rear.3:Observe/ clear chamber stoppage. 4: Release bolt carrier group. 5:Tap forward assist. 6: Shoot.
Yes that’s by the book. But when a perp is about to put a pistol round through your skull you don’t have the luxury of 1 or 2 seconds to check.
As a former battalion armorer, I saw one misfeed in 6 years of 5.56 rifle weapons training, live fire assault exercises, and range practice. That was with an average of 700+ men in the battalion.
Rittenhouse was on the ground. Only a desperate prosecutor would attempt to suggest that he had time to run through the 5 steps in the AR training manual.
Well… they ARE desperate…
EXACTLY…pull charging handle which extracts round – let charging hand go (NOTE: DO NOT RIDE CHARGING HANDLE FORWARD)…
SPORTS. Every soldier knows this and never forgets it.
Unless the rifle is equipped with a forward assist. No racking need.
The bolt is pulled back which then EXTRACTS THE SPENT ROUND (OR IN THIS CASE – A MISSED FIRED ROUND) AND THEN THE BOLT PICKS the next round from the magazine!!!!!!
You saved me the effort Biggie Ale, as I come from a competitive shooter atmosphere.
Isn’t ‘racking’ for shotguns?
It’s for lever-action Winchesters.
Racking is what you do to a slide on a semi-auto pistol. Also known as cycling, eject a failed round, load a new one.
^^
Exactly my question
M16A1/AR15 platform is “racked” when its stored in the arms room. Storage,Vertical,M16A1, Unit,Ten Each.
Well played, sir!
The prosecution is just muddying the facts.
This also indicated Kyle tried to shoot him before he pointed his weapon at Kyle. The exact opposite.
Says who? Maybe he noticed a jam without firing a shot and cleared the chamber. Maybe he attempted a warning shot. Maybe neither, none of the above, or something else. If you weren’t there how can you make that determination?
no evidence he cleared the chamber … zero zilch nada … no in the video …
From the “ums” and him haws and not having documents that go with his notes ready to go, the jury probably also has no idea. This lawyer might be surprised at the gift he was just given, but the jury was not awakened to let them know something big just happened. Wish the guy was better at his job.
That’s what closing statements are for.
Oh it makes total sense when disengaging to advance with a weapon pointed at his head as he’s “racking a round” when he clearly knew he could have been shot anytime prior.
Please. Take your asinine logic back to MSNBC.
I would believe that WHAT happened was EXACTLY what took place. There was a misfire, and Rittenhouse RE-RACKED his weapone to eject the mis-fired round so that a new round could slide into place. AND THAT IS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE THAT I WAS TAUGHT IN 1971 BEFROE SHIPPING OFF TO VIETNAM!!!….The defense is going to win this case on the Testimony of the Grosscruetz…when the Prosecutor hangs their head like he did…HE KNOWS…GAME OVER!!!!
IF Rittenhouse re-racked, as the witness suggested, there may or may not have been a live round ejected to the street-whether it was a misfire or failure to feed. I can’t tell from the video whether the weapon was racked, or the muzzle was simply lowered because the perceived threat, Grosscreutz, had his hands up. Knowing the exact sequence of events may have an impact on the self defense plea.
Slap (the magazine)
Pull (the charging handle)
Observe (the chamber)
Release (the charging handle)
Tap (the forward assist)
Shoot again
So Rittenhouse put a loaded magazine into the weapon but didn’t close the bolt after? Or are you saying he put the loaded magazine into the weapon while the bolt was closed?
Unless the prosecution introduces a live round, collected by police at the scene, with proper chain of custody, with Rittenhouse’ fingerprints on it (partial, of course), the assertion that Rittenhouse racked the weapon to clear a malfunction is a straight up, brazen, blatant lie.
I am not saying that Rittenhouse racked the weapon, but if he did, there would not have to be a live round present if the misfire was caused by a failure to feed.
And the mystery defective round better be of the same type in the rest of the magazine.
With a dented primer.
And the dent better match the firing pin in the bolt.
Doesn’t anybody remember this same guy saying that he wished that he had just gone ahead and shot the boy? He sure was mister bravado when the cameras were rolling his way. So, why hasn’t he been arrested and charged with “assault with a deadly weapon?”
Oh, I know the answer of course: because he and all of his Antifa buddies were working for the government.
It also came out in Grosscreutz’ testimony that he was carrying a concealed handgun and he had a permit, but it was expired. No charges made…
and he never told the cops he had a gun.
It wasn’t “expired,” Gross had his right to bear arms revoked due to a prior conviction.
If we still lived in a republic ruled by law, the kid would sue for malcious prosecution and live on easy street the rest of live
You see where I’m going with this, Brandon? The kid LOST HIS FREEDOM!! He LOST IT!! So, give him a MILLION DOLLARS!!
Amen, lennie. Hundreds of millions. The child has lost so much more than just his freedom.
Kyle should get 2.5 CMH’s for taking 2 total pieces of human waste out of society and wounding the 3rd piece of shit. The only down side is this half medal of honor business for not extinguishing that 3rd one totally as well.
Yup, separated from his family. That’s at least $450,000
Per family member.
Kyle was separated from his parents. Pay the man, Joe.
Kyle will only get his money if he walks over our southern border wailing “Asylum!”
Separated from his parents and put in a cage!
His dad is more or less a deadbeat, his mom supporting 3 kids alone on a CNA license, at one point they lived in a homeless shelter. Kyle was drawn to Police and Fireman, no doubt there was some inner longing looking for a male role model. One article on Yahoo was written like he was a little milita man gone wild because he supported the Police as a youth. They totally twisted the photos. It used to be when kids admired cops it was a good thing, now it has turned into something evil. I really despise the evil journalists.
Anyway, if there is a family out there that deserves a cash cow for the suffering they have had to endure because of this crap, it is Kyle’s family. He looks just like his mom.
