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.

“acting completely deranged — aggressive toward EVERYBODY and trying to instigate fights.”

On twitter there is the guy’s photo and his listing on being a monitored pedophile. Adjacent to that photo is a LONG list of charges and dates which I have to assume belongs to him.

A long list (30+?) of “Possession of a makeshift weapon, attacking staff, throwing objects at staff, etc.

Sounds like he skipped too many anger management classes.

“Andy Ngo has been doing excellent reporting.“
*****************************
He has been, indeed. He’s one of the heroes on the American stage today! One of the few REAL reporters extant.

And you’re also right about Kyle Rittenhouse. He too is an American hero.

I’ve now seen sections of video that show Kyle Rittenhouse
activity from the first shooting through his attempted
surrender to the oncoming police.

He never chase anyone. He was the one being chased.

Here’s what I’ve viewed.

At one point a guy in a red shirt gets abusive toward the
patriots, and demands they shoot him. He also says something
to the effect you better not point that gun at me. He’s
trying to be smarter than everyone else by being sarcastic.
He was very hostile, and I expected him to grab a bun and
try to cause trouble. He didn’t.

The next scene I viewed was one with Rittenhouse running
from a guy. That guy was lighting a Molitav Cocktail. Once
lit, the person thew it at Rittenhouse. At this point I
believe rittenhouse shot the person. I didn’t see it, but
other references lead me to believe he did. This person
may have been that guy in the red shirt. I can’t say for
sure, but I have heard that he was the first one shot. That
may or may not be true.

Then Rittenhouse runs down the street with a mob in tow. They are yelling all sorts of stuff, telling others to take
him down. Several people jump on top of him when he fell
down. One had a skateboard, and I saw that person him him
on the back with it hard, aiming for his head but missing
across his shoulder instead. Rittenhouse shoots this guy
killing him.

A third assailant was the guy who had a gun pinted at
Rittenhouse, when Rittenhouse shots him in the arm. This
guy proceeds to walk away screaming paramedic over and over.
At least I think it was him yelling.

Rittenhouse first off a number of other shots, and the
crowd disappears in seconds.

Rittenhouse gets up and walks down the street toward
law enforcement entering the area. He raises his hands
and tries to surrender. People are screaming for him to
be arrested. The officers tell him to get out of the
street and they drive right on by leaving him standing
there.

Rittenhouse is iterviews early on before this all happened.

He is asked what he is there for. He responds that he and
others (on video) are there to protect a business that has
had all it’s windows broken out. Plyboard is in place
where the windows used to be. He also states that he
intends to provide medical aid to anyone needing it.

As I understand it, his groups was not anti-BLM.

I heard one of their group talking to BlM saying they
supported the cause, but they didn’t want any conflict
regarding the business. “Leave us alone and we have
no problem with you...”, or something to that effect.

So the theory Rittenhouse was there to kill someone is
idiotic. In each instance where he fires his weapon, he
is under direct attack. That firebomb landed as his feet
but didn’t break and spread burning fuel on him.

The guy following him was determined to harm him, so he
simpy shot the guy.

Frankly speaking, Rittenhouse kept his wits about him and
handled the situation fairly well.

when laying on the ground with people on him, he was able
to get his rifle into position to use it to protect
himself. He shot two people there. It wasn’t an easy
thing to do, and not get seriously hurt himself.

I don’t think an adult could have coped much better than
he did.

At the end the mob was telling the police he started it
by shooting one person and they were just trying to
catch him. The turth was that he shot that person
because he and the mob were making a move on him, but of
course they didn’t mention that part of it.

I hope the kids gets off with little or not penalties.

His presence of mind and self-control were pretty
impressive > IMO.

Thanks for the analysis. I agree based on everything else I have read.

Ritterhouse was photographed earlier in the day with a group of students, cleaning graffiti off a high school.

All according to plan. His real father's plan (John 8:44) - he worked that plan, too. Quite the Manchurian Candidate from the pit of Hell.

Noticed also, that he kept on referring to him as a “vigilante”, in order to disparage him, and make him seem like the instigator of the shooting. Fox has definitely gone(almost) full libtard on us.

Much better video shows all self defense.

The guy shot in the elbow was hollering in pain. (and still gripping his pistol). A would-be rescuer was screaming for a “medic”—likely a “pretend-medic” provided and funded for the rioters.

That elbow shot assures that rioter won’t be a right-handed shooter anymore. That elbow looked shot out!

I’m still trying to get a handle on the timeline, so don’t hold me to this, but I think your otherwise very good rundown doesn’t start at the beginning of the chain of events involving Rittenhouse. There seems to have been an earlier incident that took place before his encounter with the molotov cocktail thrower. That’s when things really got started.

He had been standing guard at the property but got pulled away apparently to confront a handful of Antifa who were wrecking some parked cars with hammers. They seem to have attacked him, possibly with a pipe, and may have hit him, and he may have fired at them in response, possibly a warning shot. He may also have fired at them as they fled. I’m basing this on bits of info I saw posted Tuesday night and yesterday.

My impression is word may have then gone out among the Antifa that there was an active shooter with a long rifle, and this may have been what set the stage for the subsequent chases and shootings we see in the videos. That first incident is murky because there seems to be no video of it. As a result, people tend to be unaware of it. I’m a little concerned about that first incident, that it may put the downstream events in a different light depending on the details.

I cut the cord to Fox AND Comcast. Newsmax, OAN, and Blaze TV work just fine.

Kyle is seen running from the scene.

“A person in the video claims that Rittenhouse was shouting that he wasn’t the shooter


That’s the thing. I’m sure I saw a second guy leave the car dealer where the 1st punk was killed minute later. The vid then cuts to down the street where other punks are shouting to stop him (Kyle I presume).

Regg Inkagnito on You Tube streamed the whole 5 hours including the time when the action begins I think that’s at the 3.55.00 mark

The head shot guy was taken across the street to the hospital do they must know what kind of round he was hit with - 9mm or .233

This vid - which I saw the other day - happens to show the guy who was wounded in the arm walk through the camera shot right at the begining of the clip.

He made an impression in the live feed before the shooting started. Didn’t like him, and when I found out he was the first one shot, it seemed appropriate.

“Try to watch Mike Wallace Neil Cavuto or Juan Williams”

None of those can hold a candle to the dishonest, cheating bigot that is donna brazile.

I think that will turn out to be true. The head wound and the later bicep wound don't look like they came from the same gun.
