KENOSHA (Wis.) – Friday’s verdict by the jury of Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial was that he be acquitted of all charges in his deaths and injuries to a third man last year during demonstrations in Kenosha.

Prior to the massacre, Kenosha was subjected to two nights of violent protests following the arrest of Jacob Blake (a Black resident) by police. Many businesses were destroyed and looting was common. To control the crowds, police used tear gas and rubber bullets.

These videos are based upon court testimony, drone footage, and videos starting Aug. 25, 2020.

* During the day, Rittenhouse helps clean graffiti off a school. Joseph Rosenbaum, 36 years old, is also released from Milwaukee’s hospital, where he had been taken after an attempted suicide.

* Around 10 p.m. video shows Rittenhouse with a rifle standing with other armed men near a used-car dealership. Rittenhouse stated that he was called to guard the dealership from arson and looting threats. Rittenhouse brought along a medical kit, and stated that his goal was to help anyone who is injured.

* Around 10:45 p.m., another video shows Rittenhouse asking police officers for water. One officer said, “We appreciate your guys.” It is true.

* Around 11:45 p.m. Rosenbaum chases Rittenhouse into a used-car lot as Rittenhouse yells “Friendly, friendly, friendly.” Rosenbaum leaves Rittenhouse with a plastic bag that contains toiletries.

* Rittenhouse testified that Rosenbaum grabbed his gun. Rosenbaum reached for his gun from the mouth of a journalist at the Daily Caller (a conservative newspaper), said. Rittenhouse fired his gun at Rosenbaum and hit him four more times, resulting in Rosenbaum’s death.

* Video shows Rittenhouse fleeing the scene of the Rosenbaum shooting and being chased by a growing crowd, some yelling “Get him!”

* Just minutes later, after stumbling to the ground, Rittenhouse fatally shoots Anthony Huber, a 26-year-old who swung a skateboard at him.

* After Huber was shot, Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27, stops moving toward Rittenhouse and put his hands in the air. The handgun he was carrying was a pistol. Grosskreutz continues to advance, Rittenhouse fires at him and rips most of his bicep. Rittenhouse confirmed that Grosskreutz pointed his gun at Grosskreutz’s forehead.

* Rittenhouse then walks toward the police with his hands up and the rifle slung across his body. Rittenhouse is then ordered by police to move out of his way. One officer pepper sprays Rittenhouse as he approaches the patrol car’s window. They then took off thinking that Rittenhouse was somewhere else.

* Around 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 26, Rittenhouse, accompanied by his mother, turns himself into a police station in his hometown of Antioch, Illinois.
