A lot of people will be surprised when they give Kyle the guilty verdict or when the judge rules mistrial....
Elaborating: at first I thought #rittenhouse was innocent given all the viral clips about witness accounts of events and from the prosecution doing such a bad job and while I still think the prosecutor is a piece of shit (commenting on Kyle's posts arrest silence for example trying to pin that as evidence of guilt) but if the drone footage shows Kyle pointing his weapon at the people that were next to rosenbaun and that's why he chased Kyle then I think this drastically weakens the "self defense" claim. In my eyes you don't get to point a gun at unarmed people unless they are coming at you in a menacing fashion or verbally threatening to physically hurt you or kill you. Idk. I don't know enough about this shit to comment properly but just calling it how I see it.

@zpartacoos Do you have a link to the footage you are talking about. The only drone footage I have seen doesnt show what your saying. In the drone footage I saw kyle was already running from his assailant and only turned and aimed and shot once the person attacking him was at close range.
If you have ffootage of him aiming the gun at him BEFORE being chased that could change things. I'd like to see it.
@freemo I *read* the following about the footage:
"Prosecutors say the video shows Rittenhouse raise his rifle at a couple who had been with Rosenbaum much of the night. That action, they say, provoked Rosenbaum to chase Rittenhouse, who shot the unarmed Rosenbaum four times after they had run across a car lot"

@zpartacoos Soooo... you changed your mind based on the words of the prosecution describing a video you didnt see? You dont think maybe the prosecutions interpritation is extremely bias and that you should take the time to watch the footage first rather than to just accept the words of the person who is legally obligated to be bias?
@freemo well, I changed my mind based on the news of the "video" (now through reading this thread seems like its actually still images enhanced from a blurry video) which obviously is not valid + the fact that it's been 3 days and they haven't given a verdict. So, I wasn't making a statement about Kyle's guilt (or lack of it) but mainly that I don't think it would be taking this long if they thought he was innocent.
Also, that's why I prefaced my initial statement with *if* . Meaning if the claim about the video by prosecution == True => Kyle guilty + going jail. But as people are pointing out those still images from the videos are not exactly clear....So Kyle might be innocent but I still think he going to jail because of the lack of verdict at this time
