Kyle Rittenhouse Takes The Stand To Defend Himself In Murder Trial

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING KENOSHA, Wis. — Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand at his murder trial Wednesday and said he was under attack when he shot three men during a night of turbulent protests in Kenosha. Rittenhouse said he was walking toward a Car Source lot with a fire extinguisher to put out a fire when “I hear somebody scream, ‘Burn in hell!’ And I respond with ‘Friendly, friendly, friendly!’” He said Rosenbaum was running at him from one side and another protester with a gun in front of him, “and I was cornered.” He said that’s when he began to run. Asked by his lawyer why he didn’t keep running away from Rosenbaum, Rittenhouse said: “There was no space for me to continue to run to.” Rittenhouse said that earlier that night, Rosenbaum was holding a chain and had twice threatened to kill him. Rittenhouse said Rosenbaum also called them “N-words.” But he said he didn’t want to repeat the word in court.
