> We have clear evidence he was fired at by protesters The link you provided doesn’t seem to support that conclusion.

Other than videos of people with pistols running after the kid and shooting in the air? I have no clue WTF is happening in US, and what is the source of constant escalation, but Im pretty sure Putin is laughing his ass off right now. This is classic old KGB destabilize and weaken procedure in action.

  What videos are you referring to?

    The multiple linked videos above in the Twitter thread that the New York Times analysed of the timeline.

      That’s not what those videos show, nor is it what the NYTimes said they show.

        Sorry, but at this stage I assume you are a troll. But one last time in case you are not. From the thread, from the New York Times reporter - "At 23:19, Rittenhouse is seen in this YouTube livestream. He's being chased into a parking lot. While he is being pursued, an unknown gunman fires the first shot into the air."

        You: “ We have clear evidence he was fired at by protesters” You’re calling me a troll? Please. The comma is important here. The person chasing is not the same person shooting. You and others keep conflating this and it appears to be intentional. Whatever happened at that moment, this individual decided not only not to order assistance to the person he shot in the head, but to run into an unarmed crowd waving around a rifle.

        You could have stated this on my first comment if you were being in good faith. rasz then corrected what I said, early in this thread, which you and I are replying on. This is quite bad faith on your behalf.

        Please do not continue to personally attack me. It violates the principals of this community. I have not acted in bad faith, we simply appear have a disagreement about the English language.
