Click to embiggen. Mr Grosskreutz already has the pistol in his hand during his "hands up" ruse.
He's seen drawing it earlier on the approach to Mr Rittenhouse (ignore the felon part, his worst conviction appears to be misdemeanor A for drunkenly carrying a gun).
After being shot, he can't drop it because of the injury.
The problem is the media doesn't care what the facts are. They don't care that Skateboard Guy whacked the kid in the head with SG's skateboard. They don't care that the kid was protecting his job and place of work. They don't care that the kid only fired in response to an active threat upon his life.
ReplyDeleteThat's the issue.
Only a complete wanker still thinks the kid was wrong.
But then again, there are a whole heck of a lot of people that still think George Floyd was choked to death by a knee hold (that is very prevalent on episodes of "Adam-12" from the early 70's.)
And the same people that think the kid is wrong also don't think that George Floyd was culpable in his own death due to the fentanyl, meth, weed and other drugs he swallowed before police contacted him.
Just like with the Florida Open Carrier gun larpers, as some people call them. They acted 100% within the law, yet many wankers still say they were wrong because the wankers knickers were, are, and will always be in a twist.
Hey Angus;
ReplyDeleteMy Bad, the pic I had seen I couldn't seen the gun because of the quality of the pic and the fold of the hand. I thought he tried to draw on the kid after the fake surrender.
This isn't the best pic taken either. It's the one that someone on our side managed to save.
DeleteA better one with Mr Rittenhouse in the foreground shows it much better. It disappeared from Imgur and the person who hot linked to it cannot find it now.
The draw, approach, hands up, bring Glock to bear, get shot is all of two seconds on the video too.
A good blowup of the pistol carrying protestor can be found here:
