Rittenhouse was 17 and armed with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle that had a 30-round clip at the time he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and severely wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, during an Aug. 25, 2020 protest in Kenosha

on Tuesday after hearing starkly different theories of the same evidence, with a prosecutor portraying the teenager as a trouble-seeking active shooter to counter defense claims he shot three men, two fatally, in self-defense.

"That is what provokes this entire incident. And one of the things to keep in mind is that when the defendant provokes the incident, he loses the right to self-defense," Binger said. "You cannot claim self-defense against a danger you create. That's critical right here. If you're the one who is threatening others, you lose the right to claim self-defense."

Binger described the confrontation between Rosenbaum and Rittenhouse as being akin to a "bar fight," even showing the jurors an image of Patrick Swayze in the movie "Roadhouse," in which the actor played a bar bouncer who protects a small town from a corrupt businessman. The prosecutor said Rittenhouse without regard for others standing nearby fired twice at an unarmed unidentified man who reportedly kicked him in the face before he fatally shot Huber point-blank in the chest.

"This is someone who has no remorse, no regard for life, only cares about himself," the prosecutor said of Rittenhouse.Binger wrapped up his argument by telling the jury to put themselves in Rittenhouse's shoes and asking if a "reasonable person" would react in the same way. Richards slammed Binger for coming up with the theory of Rittenhouse provoking the initial shooting by allegedly pointing his gun at Rosenbaum and others, saying the prosecutor came up with that "when his case exploded in his face."

He said that after shooting Rosenbaum, Rittenhouse was doing the reasonable thing by running to tell the police what had happened only to be kicked in the face by one man and attacked with a skateboard by Huber. He said the first of four shots immobilized Rosenbaum by shattering his hip and that the wounded man crumpled to the pavement.

It’s not a “clip”. It’s a magazine. And “Yahoo” wonders why people cant take them seriously…

If that poor excuse for a lawyer had pointed that rifle in MY courtroom, I would have called a mistrial and sent him to jail for a long, long time for contempt.
