Rosenbaum was very upset that his burning dumpster was extinguished.

Here's some threats by Rosenbaum described by Joann Fiedler.

The way to not get shot is to not threaten to kill someone if you find them alone, then find them alone & chase them. Here's some testimony about the threats, first from Ryan Balch.

He was with members of his group at the Ultimate gas station & got separated from them. One of the people at Car Source 2 called him and told him they were burning cars at Car Source 3, so he found a fire extinguisher and ran to CS3. The wiser move would have been to wait until he others to go with.

The police testified that more than half the people they encountered that night were armed. It isn't legal to attack someone for merely open carrying a gun in an open carry state.

Rittenhouse did shoot him, once he was cornered and could no longer flee. The medical examiner testified, based on the soot stippling on Rosenbaum, that his hand was on Rittenhouse's gun or within inches. You're under no obligation to get into a tug-of-war over your gun with the guy who threatened U

The 2nd man with a pistol, Gaige Grosskreutz, was chasing Rittenhouse. Legally, that makes him the aggressor, not the defender. He admitted on the stand that he wasn't shot until he pointed his pistol at Rittenhouse.

The 1st man with the pistol, Joshua Ziminski, wasn't fired at. Rosenbaum was justifiably shot because he'd threatened earlier to kill Rittenhouse if he found him alone, then found him alone, chased him, cornered him & tried to grab his gun (to presumably carry out the earlier death threat).

At the shooting of Rosenbaum, Rittenhouse was running up to a burning car with a fire extinguisher. Rosenbaum came running up behind him. This was undisputed testimony at trial and clearly shown on the videos. He ran until he was cornered. That isn't "pretending."

No video showed and no witness testified he was "running around threatening to kill people." He never even pointed his gun at anyone until Rosenbaum attacked him. Multiple witnesses, including one of the people he shot (Grosskreutz), said he avoided confrontation.

I support the facts, not myths.

How did he know he was being videotaped?

I guess you think he's some mad genius who planned the whole thing out. Strange, if he wanted an excuse to shoot someone, you'd think he would have tried to start an altercation. Instead, he did the opposite according to all the testimony.

That "lie" is literally Grosskreutz' sworn testimony. By "what I saw on the video" I assume you're talking about the shootings. What specific part did you see that led you to believe it wasn't self-defense? Here's some video as a reminder.

He was then bashed over the head with a 10lb skateboard. A baseball bat weighs about 2lbs. Would a BB bat to the head be a deadly threat? He then had a gun pointed at him. Pretty sure the gun counts as a deadly threat. Even Grosskreutz said Rittenhouse didn't shoot until he pointed his gun.
