Let's take a stroll down memory lane as we enter into the media clown zone.
Take a look at this supercut from last year where the media played judge, jury, and executioner on Kyle Rittenhouse, working overtime to convince us that a teenager was a white supremacist terrorist before any facts or video in the case came to light:
Now look at this testimony from yesterday, where Gage Grosskruetz โ one of the men shot by Rittenhouse โ admits that he was only shot after pulling a pistol on Rittenhouse:
Of course, if you spent 30 seconds watching any of the extensive video of this over the last year, you know this was already true because you have eyeballs and, presumably, a functioning brain.
So how did the media respond to this?
They didn't mention it at all.
Here's some of these headlines. They paint Grosskreutz, a man with a long criminal record...
...as a victim and a hero.
CNN slipped it in at the end after giving you the whole sob story:
This is an unbelievable perversion of justice and truth.
What matters is this question: Did Kyle Rittenhouse have the right to defend himself based on the belief that his life was in imminent danger?
Let's circle back like Jen Psaki on a 2020 post from a friend of Grosskreutz who had just visited him in the hospital:
And then add this:
Attorney: "When you were standing 3-5 feet from him with your arms up in the air, he never fired... it wasn't until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun, now your hands down, pointed at him that he fired."
Grosskreutz: "Correct."
Case closed.
Which begs the question: Why does the media want you to identify with a criminal like Grosskreutz while portraying Rittenhouse as a merciless villain?
