The man wounded by Kyle Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020, during the Kenosha, Wisc., riots blew up the state’s case against the accused murderer under cross-examination on Monday afternoon.
Though Gaige Grosskreutz spent a couple of hours on the witness stand, the man Rittenhouse wounded that night blew up the state’s case in one short span of cross-examination on Monday. Two other men were killed by Rittenhouse that night.
Grosskreutz was a medic and was a peripatetic protester. He lived in Milwaukee and traveled to Kenosha to continue his 75-day protest streak following the death of George Floyd and the wounding of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. He live-streamed

Mr. Rittenhouse should be immediately acquitted.
As I first said, after watching all the videos...this was clearly self defense.

At the end of the prosecution's case, defense counsel will ask the judge for a directed verdict of acquittal (or dismissal of charges with prejudice - I'm not familiar with Minnesota law) and the case should be over.

Too bad. The "Rittenhouse is a right wing terrorist" myth is now smashed. Next is January 6th and the confiscated videos will prove that the FBI created the situation.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for a dismissal or acquittal. This is not your granddaddy’s justice system. Building frustration is a strategy of the left. Nothing more they want than for us to know the kid is innocent but to convict him anyway. The underlying strategy of this administration is to foment anger and frustration. All they want is an opportunity to come down hard and publicly on any dissent or resistance. Then they will label any protester as a domestic terrorist, and will proceed on a pretense of guilt by association. Democrats are itching to use the full force of the government against anyone who dares to object to their miscarriage of Justice and general overreach.

If he were not white this would not even be a story. How many shootings are there EVERY weekend in Chicago and no one is ever sent to jail anymore. He is on trial because he is white. And in the end he will go to jail because he is white.

He will go to jail because he is white. In Chicago there are myriad of shootings and deaths but you never hear of anyone going to jail or being prosecuted. He will go to jail, not because he is innocent and should be released, but because he is white and must be made an example of.

There are pictures of the guy holding his gun after he had been shot. A chunk of his arm was missing as he was screaming in pain, going down to his knees. Obviously his arm nerves and muscles were not working so that he could drop the gun, it was stuck in his grip. It is clear evidence that he was pointing a gun at Rittenhouse at the moment of the shooting.

This is Wisconsin, not Minnesota. Yes, the charges should be immediately dismissed.

What I want to know is why the star witness wasn't already arrested. After all he's on video pointing a gun at someone. Let's see he's rioting, in possession of a likely illegal gun and threatens someone with it. Sounds like three felonies to me.

I cant see them letting Kyle go free. That "star" witness against him PROVED he was acting in self defense, but I still bet'cha they put him in prison.

Rittenhouse has suffered enough. Acquit him and let him begin the civil suits against every single one of his tormentors.

If state prosecutors were any good at lawyering they'd be off making millions in private practice rather than sucking on the taxpayer's teeth.

The case can't be dismissed. It is far too political and a dismissal would cause untold pain to the hard leftists in the dem party. After all, the typists in the media already have written their stories about the coming guilty verdict. But the prosecutors are either painfully stupid or simply doing their level best to bring a botched case before the public with plenty of appeal possibilities. If you can't dismiss the case as the prosecutor, then lose the case and move up the democrat political food chain. Plus a loss of this case will serve the fascist left far better - riots as far as the media can see!

Rittenhouse will be found not guilty. After Rittenhouse is acquitted, look for him to sue the City of Kenosha - for a lot of money. The only reason Rittenhouse was arrested and charged in the first place by that Kenosha DA was due to the msm, the court of public opinion, and Grosskreutz bearing false witness at the scene. The msm must be reprimanded severely for its fake reporting that Rittenhouse was the criminal in this case and should be fried or injected for it. That Kenosha DA should be dis-barred for this travesty. Grosskreutz is the one who should have been arrested and charged with felony menacing with a hand gun and lying to police while carrying a handgun without a permit.
The one thing I would tell anyone - when walking the streets anywhere in the middle of a disturbance especially in this era of TDS, don't go it alone. And know your local gun laws. I don't know if Rittenhouse was at the time aware of the laws of self-defense. But, Grosskreutz's testimony reveals that he did.
All of this because certain people in Kenosha hated Trump and they wanted Rittenhouse to be another Trump poster child.

After reading the testimony, I can only wonder when the demonstrators who savagely beat Rittenhouse will be indicted for attempted murder. I am not holding my breath. It seems that these protesters are allowed to attempt murder while the victim is the one being prosecuted.

This kid represents MAGA people and he's not walking.
They can't nail him now on murder but they will get him on a lesser charge and than hammer him with the maximum penalty. Just like what they are doing to the 1/6 patriots who are being held for over 10 months on trespassing, parading without a permit, entering a government building without proper i.d., etc.

The 'star witness' was busy on social media days later he commented to friends after the extreme damage to his arm that he should have shot the expletive, expletive before Rittenhouse saw the threat shooting first when Grosskreutz raised his Glock.
Grosskreutz was part of the pillaging property destroying riot not there to help but cause mayhem. The videos say it all Rittenhouse was trying to escape life threating danger the others were in pursuit to do him harm or kill him. It is what it is, self defense.

I saw some of this guy's testimony on TV. He effectively said, yeah, I pointed my gun at Rittenhouse, but I wasn't going to SHOOT him.
And Rittenhouse was supposed to know that, how?

We knew from the beginning that the 17 year old teenager was not guilty because we saw the videos available by his attorney last year. Why go after this kid? Why not go after anti-fa or BLM? Oh, yeah, he's a conservative and they're not. And BTW why in the world are we just finding out that the FBI was there with their drones and videos? What else were the FBI doing? Stirring up riots like J6? This all stinks to high heaven. If we are to survive as a nation, these intelligence agencies, FBI, CIA, DOJ and others need to be cleaned up or dismantled. One party control of, demonrat agencies, will destroy our Nation.

If Grosskreutz was present as a medic, why did he point a fully loaded Glock 22 (duty sized with 15+1 capacity of .40 S&W) at Rittenhouse unless he meant to kill him? For his trouble, the ACLU affiliated Grosskreutz managed to get his right bicep blown off by Rittenhouse's AR-15, and his testimony should lose the prosecution's case. He's lucky the kid didn't kill him, too. Point a loaded weapon at a cop or an armed defender and see what happens. Grosskreutz is lucky he didn't catch a round in a vital place.

My favorite part of the day's events was the face palming of the co-persecutor when he realized their case just evaporated. That was awesome.

"Grosskreutz carried a Glock pistol on him that night that was illegally concealed. His concealed-carry permit had expired."
"Although not brought up in court, Grosskreutz has a police record, including a gun charge."
If he has a record which includes a gun charge, how did he ever get a gun & a concealed permit???

The totally just ending of this show trial would include the following:
1) Arrest of the state witness for illegal possession of a firearm, and for pointing it/threatening to shoot Rittenhouse.
2) Dismissal of all charges against Rittenhouse.
3) Payment of $450,000 to Rittenhouse for being a minor illegally separated from his family by the government.
4) Disbarment of the prosecutors for malicious prosecution.

#10, that's a very foolish game they play in that case. They are seriously out-numbered and the skill-sets present in the populace equal or exceed the skill-sets they have access to.
