Fox News Using Deceptive Video to Claim Kyle Rittenhouse was Chasing Protesters and shooting at them.

Posted on 08/26/2020 10:34:39 PM PDT by yukong

I was just watching Fox News Night with Shannon Bream and they ran a report from a guy named Jonathan Hunt that was a video from of the first shots fired that appears to have come from a drone. It was from the opposite direction as Kyle is running toward the drone as he was being chased by the Antifa goon and people are scattering. This Jonathan Hunt says, and I quote:

"You can see quite clearly the shooter chasing people across what appears to be a courtyard of some businesses firing at them that is the point that we believe at which he hit one of the protesters in the head. That protester tragically died. The shooter is then seen on the video running away from the scene being chased by members of the crowd..."

It is an utter lie on the part of Fox News and Jonathan Hunt. They are completely ignoring the very first video showing the Antifa goon chasing Rittenhouse and throwing what appears to be an incendiary device at him just before he shot back in self defense.

I am just furious at Fox News.

Apparently, Fox News learned nothing from the smearing of The Catholic HS kid Nicholas Sandmann’s successful lawsuits against the lying media.

“I am just furious at Fox News.”
*****************************
The “news” part of Fox News is being INTENTIONALLY OBTUSE when it comes to coverage and reporting of Rittenhouse’s actions. They very clearly don’t want to see (and let their viewers see) what is readily available to see.

I hope he gets a lawyer who sues them and wins, like the Covington kid did to CNN.

The video I saw shows Rittenhouse being chased and tripping onto the ground. He shoots someone grabbing at his rifle. This saves his life as it is apparent the crowd is threatening his life with a good beating.

Yep.... Tucker had some chuckle-head on earlier that was leaving out important facts that have been readily available for most of the day. Obtuse indeed.

The drone video is of the very first shots fired when the Antifa goon is chasing him through the car lot and throws what appears to be a burning object at him. It just further show Rittenhouse running for his life, not chasing “protesters” and shooting at them.

Is this footage (drone?) before what we saw last night? I really only saw the footage from the point when he was being chased and he shot the first guy in the head up until he tried to surrender to the police but was told to move on.

Do you have a link?

I still haven’t seen what sparked it.

The drone footage was just a different angle of what we saw last night of the first shots fired. From the opposite direction up about 100 feet. And it was just on Shannon Breans show so I don’t have a link. They said they had just gotten the footage.

They are also making the guy who got shot dead out to be hero who was going after RittenHouse.

It is really scary how the left and the media can twist something around 180 and convince people of a complete lie. There is not one once of truth left in any of them.

I just saw that on FOX also and thought the same things. Totally slanted misrepresentation. Earlier today in one of their reports some talking head still refers to George Llloyd as a murder.

There was another shooting before the one that was filmed.

Kyle is seen running from the scene.

"A person in the video claims that Rittenhouse was shouting that he wasn’t the shooter before falling to the ground and opening fire."

There may be more to the story.

So, it just a different angle of him running away from the guy chasing him where he ending up killing him in a parking lot, shooting him in the head.

I wanna know what happened before that. What led to him running away the first time. I haven’t seen that yet. I can imagine but don’t want too.

I still don’t know how he got there to help either. There is a back story some where and we ain’t getting it. Yet.

Lin Wood is tweeting about him. Trying to help him. Says charges need to be dismissed.

That’s excellent to see.
This kid was about to get his brains splattered all over the street.
