'I walked away with my life that night': Wounded Kenosha medic Gaige Grosskreutz tells his story
The Milwaukee Journal ^ | September 11, 2020 | Gina Barton

Posted on 09/17/2020 9:14:23 AM PDT by PBRCat

Grosskreutz was among three people shot on the third night of protests after Kenosha police shot a Black man, Jacob Blake, seven times in the back.

The two other victims of the Aug. 25 triple shooting, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, did not survive.

The shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Ill, considered himself a citizen soldier. That evening, armed with an AR-15, he told several people he had traveled to Kenosha to help protect life and property. Rittenhouse has been charged with five felonies including first-degree intentional homicide. His lead attorney, John M. Pierce of the law firm Pierce Bainbridge, plans to argue self-defense.

Because of the pending criminal charges against Rittenhouse, Grosskreutz's attorney, Kimberly Motley, has advised him not to discuss what happened the moments immediately before he was shot. On videos, Rittenhouse can be seen falling as he is chased down Sheridan Drive. Grosskreutz approaches, comes to a stop after Rittenhouse shoots Huber, then takes a few more steps before being shot in the arm at close range.

Grosskreutz sees the demonstrations against police brutality as a first step toward ending inequality and bringing about the ideal of justice for all.

"I want to be there and help amplify my brothers' and sisters' voices," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday.

"Why is this POS still walking around?"

Because the "Kenosha Ventilator" had more guts and humanity in him than the three people he shot.

“””Grosskreutz sees the demonstrations against police brutality as a first step toward ending inequality”””

Demonstrations? It’s called looting and rioting, Jim.

Many LEO offices will not arrest someone with a medical condition right away. This is due to the fact that in many jurisdiations, once in police custody, medical expenses are on the county not the individual.

I suspect that there is no rush to arrest so that the medical bills are on him, not the county.

Because Rittenhaus showed excellent control and only shot the asswipe who was trying to kill him in the arm.
