Thank you. That basic fact keeps being omitted from the narrative.
Are you being intentionally obtuse?
What do you not seem to grasp? And no...this was not "after he already shot somebody, right?"
"Rittenhouse testified that he then believed himself to be in danger and ran south-west across the lot, aiming for the safety of the Car Source lot buildings. Rosenbaum chased after him. Rittenhouse testified that he heard Ziminski shout to Rosenbaum "Get him and kill him!", and that he soon perceived his avenue of escape to be blocked by vehicles and a group of protesters, and that Rosenbaum was catching up to him.
[76] Video footage showed Rittenhouse being pursued across a parking lot by a group of people.
[80][60] During the chase, Rosenbaum threw a plastic bag containing socks, underwear, and deodorant at Rittenhouse.
[78][31][81]
Ziminski fired a shot into the air, and was later charged with disorderly conduct using a dangerous weapon.
[82][35] After the shot was fired, Rittenhouse turned around, to see Rosenbaum now only a few feet away from him.
[76] According to McGinniss, who was standing near Rittenhouse at the time, Rosenbaum then shouted "**** you!" and "lunged" at Rittenhouse and grabbed the barrel of his rifle.
[6] Rittenhouse then fired four shots at Rosenbaum, killing him.
[83][84][12][85] The bullets perforated Rosenbaum's heart, aorta, pulmonary artery and right lung, fractured his pelvis, and caused minor wounds to his left thigh and forehead.
