Rittenhouse killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz. [Rittenhouse said] he was walking with a fire extinguisher after hearing protesters were burning cars at one of the lots his friends were trying to protect. Rittenhouse said he saw a fire in a truck on one of the lots then Joshua Ziminski approached him with a gun. Rosenbaum came out from behind some cars and "ambushed" him.

Rittenhouse said he tried to run away but Rosenbaum chased him as Ziminski yelled "get him" and "kill him." Rittenhouse said he pointed his rifle at Rosenbaum but Rosenbaum didn't stop. Rittenhouse said Huber hit him with a skateboard [after that] and someone hit him in the back of the head with a rock, causing him to stumble.

A defendant's state of mind is crucial in a self-defense case. He must show that he reasonably believed his life was in danger and the amount of force he used was appropriate. "I didn't intend to kill them. I intended to stop the people who were attacking me," Rittenhouse said.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS " Yes - It has already been amply demonstrated just months ago that when elected officials broadcast incendiary messages some in their audience will take them as encouragement, if not as an outright directive, to target other elected officials for intimidation, bullying, and/or physical violence. To encourage violence (subtle or overt) - even with plausible deniability - is to undermine the whole system and disqualify an individual from holding political office."
