Man who Rittenhouse killed taunted armed group in lead-up to incident, was bi-polar, witnesses say
One of the two protestors allegedly killed by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was reportedly seen acting aggressive and repeatedly asking an armed group to shoot him, a witness testified on Friday, Reuters reported.Jason Lackowski, a former Marine among the armed men with Rittenhouse the night of the shooting, testified that Joseph Rosenbaum challenged him and others in the group to shoot him, Reuters reported. He said Rosenbaum “false-stepped” — quickly stepped towards them and stepped back — a few times before Lackowski turned away and ignored him.
Ryan Balch, a military veteran who was also armed alongside Rittenhouse in Kenosha, testified on Thursday that Rosenbaum was acting “violent” that night, threatening to kill him and Rittenhouse “if he caught them alone.”

EXPLAINER: Rittenhouse plane part of widespread surveillance
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors working to convict Kyle Rittenhouse in the shootings of three people during a protest against police brutality in Wisconsin have introduced as evidence surveillance video taken from an FBI airplane circling thousands of feet above the chaos.
Here’s a look at government efforts to track people’s activities from the air:
Yes. Aerial surveillance of protests is actually very common. According to an August 2020 Air Force inspector general report, the National Guard used surveillance planes to watch over demonstrations in Washington, D.C., Minnesota, Arizona and California after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis that May.
The FBI used aircraft to monitor protests in Ferguson, Missouri, following the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown and in Baltimore to track protests following Freddie Gray’s death in police custody in 2015. Democrat Barack Obama was president during both of those events. Law enforcement also used aerial surveillance to monitor a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 that turned deadly. Republican Donald Trump was president at that time.
An Associated Press investigation in 2015 found that the FBI had built a fleet of at least 50 surveillance planes that flew more than 100 flights over 11 states during a one-month span in the spring of that year under the Obama administration. The AP traced the planes to at least 13 fake companies designed to obscure the identity of the aircraft and the pilots.
The AP review also found that the Drug Enforcement Administration had at least 92 surveillance aircraft as of 2011 under Obama. The U.S. Marshals Service also has operated its own aerial surveillance program.
It’s too early to tell. Prosecutors contend that the video will show Rittenhouse chased Rosenbaum before the situation reversed itself and Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse — possibly chipping away at Rittenhouse’s self-defense claims. Portions of the infrared video prosecutors played in court on Tuesday — shot from nearly 9,000 feet — showed dozens of small, fuzzy and indistinct images of people standing or moving along the streets and sidewalks.

Many years ago I was working at the FBO of a local airport. One morning @ 0630 as I unlocked the door to open up the phone was ringing.
I answered and a lady began reading me the riot act about a student training flight that was flying over her neighborhood. She worked night's and it's presence was keeping her from getting any sleep. I could see both of our training aircraft on the tarmac and explained to her that we did not have any planes in the air that morning.
About an hour later a Cesna 206 lands and taxies up to the fueling area. Two guys enter and ask to be topped off with 100LL. I went out to fuel the plane and when I could see the side facing away from the FBO building I saw that the entire left side of the plane behind the cockpit was a huge window. As I climbed up to fuel the wing tank on that side I could look into the plane and see some pretty sophisticated looking electronic panels with a pair of headsets plus what looked like a very large spotting scope with camera mounted in front of a single seat that appeared to be on a swivel.
When I returned to the building I asked them if they had been circling over the nearby community and explained the phone call.
They were evasive and did not have any interest in talking about what the equipment in the plane was or who they were.
Just before they departed one of them suggested that it might be best if I did not mention their stopping in for fuel and displayed an FBI identification badge.

Rittenhouse Defense Suggests Kenosha DA Colluded With Detective to Hide Cell Phone Evidence Taken by Wounded Man

The FBI Just Admitted Something Terrifying and No One Seems to Be Noticing
The FBI’s presence in Kenosha sets off a cascade of questions, all of the answers to which should trigger every alarm in the book.The Rittenhouse trial has been a marvel to watch, simply because the prosecution’s presentation of this case has been a train wreck of dumpster fires. We’ve watched as the defense has absolutely fileted almost everything the prosecution has presented, as the Judge continues to make statements that will likely benefit the defense’s case. However, a funny thing happened in the courtroom that went by even me for a bit. Here we were talking about the various videos that were taken at the scene and what they show. Here’s the one video of one angle, of one part of the street, and then there’s another of this other angle, showing these people who were involved in the shoot. Then there’s the FBI drone video directly over the shooting, and there there’s another video on the ground in front of the gas station. Each of the videos provided its own unique view of…… wait…. go back a minute…. what’s that part about an FBI drone??
how did you end up directly over this shooting that night, despite all the other areas in the city where bad things were happening? While I have never been a conspiracy theorist and abhor conspiracy theories, it seems wildly coincidental that of the several dozen square block area of Kenosha where there was violence going down that night, that you end up directly over the one shooting that is going to cause a national debate? I can’t be the only one here thinking that’s awfully convenient.

The comment section gives MSN a good bitch slapping.
The mental bubble required to write that dreck is unbelievable. I am positive the author had no problem with the riots of 2020 and didn't consider them "threats to democracy". But let one kid defend himself against the mob and all of a sudden there is a problem. That is cognitive dissonance on a galactic scale.

Rosenbaum's fiancée, Kariann Swart, revealed in her own testimony that he was on medication for bipolar disorder and depression, striking a potential blow against the prosecution's argument that Rittenhouse was the aggressor in the situation.Kyle Rittenhouse Case: Witness Calls Victim Belligerent, Fiancée Testifies
Jason Lackowski testified that Joseph Rosenbaum, one of the people fatally shot, seemed to be a "babbling idiot" but not a real threat to Rittenhouse's safety.
Swart said Rosenbaum was unable to fill his prescriptions before his death because the local pharmacy was closed and boarded up during the unrest.

I suspect he is heavily medicated and is obviously under very close supervision. They'll even cut his mic before allowing him to answer some questions.
And to think all those enablers think this situation is preferable to Trump. That is incredible cognitive dissonance.

And to think, the otherwise conservative never-Trumpers are not alarmed by this. I’m not a hardcore Trump apologist, but good night people, this is a human versus a potato.

If Rittenhouse walks, He will be a hero and Icon of the second Amendment . Thats the last thing these commie 's want to see. They will do whatever they have to to get him in jail. Probably going to call a mistrial to delay the inevitable.

If the DA was any good he would have refused to prosecute.
1st Man grabs for loaded rifle
2nd Man assaults kid with heavy skateboard
3rd Man has handgun
All three incidents Rittenhouse was attempting to flee, and was in fear for his life against a pursuing MOB
DA decides he will prosecute for murder. Whaaaat?
