Did you not see the man who threw what appears to be an object on fire continue to chase the kid and then get shot?

And that was probably the same reason he was attacked by the crazy man daring him "shoot me Ni#$%"? He looked like an easy target. Bald white guy got one to the head, and found out the hard way "don't F with a man (boy) with a rifle". Then the skate board idiot and 9mm pistol man attack him, both taken out by the kid!

It was a plastic bag.

They were able to save the arm - but the guy who was hit says he regrets that he didn't kill Rittenhouse. That's a plus for his lawyers.

Here's that shot from a different angle and closer up:

Same principle applies. I was addressing the false assertion by the OP in the thread title. The professionals (police and National Guard) need to handle that, not an unstable 17 year old guy with no expertise.

The same kiddie glove treatment was given to Dylann Roof. Come with us, son, you're under arrest for slaughtering a whole bunch of people in church, don't worry we won't hurt you.

Systemic racism is there to see, if you have an open mind and are not blinded by partisanship.

Because he's not black.

The first shooting that started the whole chain of events shows the kid running away from someone. This person throws a bag that was obviously not empty at him. Then a few moments later the shooting starts.

Was he running for his life? Why was this guy chasing him? Has any video come out that shows what caused the chase? The person shot was also the same person in an earlier video being aggressive. I'm not sure how far apart the earlier video was recorded.

If he were black, and all his attackers were white, the OP would be calling this 17 year old kid a hero.

This video looks like he was shot at first in the gas station lot.
