A 17-year-old boy was charged with murder in the first degree after opening fire on three anarchist rioters in two seperate incidents.
The accused, Kyle Rittenhouse, is from Antioch, Illinois, just 21
miles from Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse traveled to Kenosha with his AR-15 in order to protect
small business owners and citizens who were being victimized after being
abandoned by their state government and police.
Footage obtained by
anti-extremism watchdog AntifaWatch shows the first shooting. In the video, a
masked man named Joseph D. Rosenbaum is shown chasing Rittenhouse and throwing
what some have claimed may have been an improvised explosive, but this has not
yet been confirmed. Rittenhouse then shot Rosenbaum in the head as he charged
and tried to take his rifle, an injury the attacker later died of.
Earlier in the night, Rosenbaum, who is Jewish, was shown
violently antagonizing the armed men, shouting “Shoot me, Nigga!”
After Rosenbaum was shot, a mob of anarchists pursued Rittenhouse
as he attempted to flee. The young man then fell to the ground as the “antifa” members began attacking him.
Rittenhouse opened fire against two of the attackers, one who was armed with a handgun.
One member of the gang, Anthony W. Huber, died after being shot in
the chest. The armed assailant, Gaige Paul Grosskreutz, suffered a gruesome
gunshot wound to the arm but survived.
The media has jumped into action to paint Rittenhouse as a white
supremacist domestic terrorist and the anarchists who were shot as innocent
“peaceful protesters.” But the facts bring this narrative into question.
Joseph Don Rosenbaum
According to public records, Joseph “Jojo” Rosenbaum has a long
history of violence.
Rosenbaum was convicted in Arizona in 2002 for committing an act
of sexual misconduct with a child.
According to his entry in the sex offender registry,
he was a level 3 offender, meaning he was at a high risk of reoffending and a
general danger to his surroundings.
Arizona Department of Corrections records reveal
that Rosenbaum spent 12 1/2 years in prison after being convicted of two counts
of 3rd degree sexual misconduct against a minor and one count of interfering
with a monitoring device. For sexual misconduct with a minor to reach the level
of class 3 felony, the victim must be under the age of 15.
More telling is Rosenbaum’s 42 seperate disciplinary infractions
while incarcerated. including numerous assaults, committing sex acts and
stalking, manufacturing a weapon, and arson. He was then released in 2016.
According to records from
the Wisconsin Circuit Court, Rosenbaum had pending charges for battery as
domestic abuse filed just last month.
Anthony W. Huber
Anthony M. Huber, the second anarchist who died at the scene,
is promoted as a hero by
for-profit “charity” business Go Fund Me. His girlfriend has raised almost
$70,000 in his name.
Public records show
that Huber was in fact a violent criminal with a history of abusing his loved
ones.
In 2012, Huber pled guilty to false imprisonment with a dangerous
weapon and strangulation as domestic abuse. He appears to have violated the
terms of his probation in 2016 and was sentenced to two years in state prison,
most of it with time served. Huber was arrested again in
2018 for battery.
The woman fundraising in his name, Hannah J Gittings, currently has a warrant out
for her arrest for refusing a breathalyzer while driving
drunk and driving with a revoked license.
Gaige Paul Grosskreutz
Gaige P. Grosskreutz, a pistol wielding anarchist in his 40s who
was shot in the arm while attacking the teenaged Rittenhouse, was charged with felony
burglary and theft in 2013. He violated his probation just
4 months later. He has another arrestfrom
2017.
It is unclear from public records if Grosskreutz was ever
convicted of a felony. If so, his possession of a firearm is a serious offense
that could net him 10 years in prison.
According to a media puff piece,
Grosskreutz was a professional activist with Milwaukee based “People’s
Revolution,” a more extreme breakaway from the Black Lives Matter NGO.
Virtually no mainstream media reporting on this incident has
mentioned any of this information when reporting on GrossKreutz, Rosenbaum or
Huber.
The strong anti-social and violent streak exemplified by these
individuals — who were active participants in a violent riot and clear
instigators in the shootings –is common among the rank-and-file of “antifa.”
Journalists hired by elite
media may side with them against a 17-year-old boy engaging in self-defense,
but it remains to be seen if America will.
