KENOSHA, Wis. — Prosecutors in Wisconsin want a judge to allow evidence at Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial that shows he had a previous violent encounter in Kenosha before he fatally shot two men and injured another during a police brutality protest last year.
The state’s motion filed Thursday in Kenosha County Circuit Court also seeks to show Rittenhouse was associated with the far-right Proud Boys, a group linked to political violence.
Rittenhouse, 18, is charged with killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, on Aug. 25 during protests in Kenosha over the police shooting two days earlier of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was left paralyzed when he was shot by a white police officer.
Prosecutors want to introduce a video from July 1, 2020, which they say shows Rittenhouse striking a teenage girl in the back at Kenosha’s lakefront.
“In both the July 1, 2020 incident and the August 25, 2020 incident, the defendant, an Illinois resident, willingly and intentionally put himself in violent situations in Wisconsin that do not involve him in order to commit further acts of violence,” the motion states.
Prosecutors also said Rittenhouse’s association with the Proud Boys should be considered at the trial because it shows that he takes pride in violence.
Photos taken in January show Rittenhouse drinking inside a Mount Pleasant bar and gesturing with what appeared to be a white power symbol. The motion states that prosecutors have since learned that the people with Rittenhouse at the bar included the leader of the Wisconsin Proud Boys chapter and several of its highest-ranking members.
Prosecutors allege Rittenhouse, who is white, left his home in Antioch, Illinois, and traveled to Kenosha to answer a call for paramilitary groups to protect businesses during the protest.
Rittenhouse faces multiple charges, including two homicide counts. He has argued he fired in self-defense after protesters attacked him.
Black Lives Matter supporters have painted him as a trigger-happy white supremacist, but some conservatives see him as a symbol for gun rights and have rallied around him, generating $2 million for his bail in November.
Rittenhouse’s defense attorney did not immediately respond to a message and email seeking comment on prosecutors’ latest motion.
Rittenhouse’s trial is scheduled to start Nov. 1.

Even if the judge rules against using this at trail, it's already in the public domain.
I wonder if Chauvin's defense played the arrest video from two years ago, showing Floyd do his "Don't shoot!", Mama!", and uncooperative/non-compliant routine.

In the meantime, they (Libz, BLM ANTIFA) are out killing Cops, innocent folks, shooting and looting, killing kids, most peacefully of course.
Libturdz deserve painful deaths. Human scum.

Rittenhouse, McKloskies, HR 127, School shootings, mass shootings, etc are all attacks on our 2A rights. Especially School and mass shootings, the left absolutely looooooves when there are School shootings but also notice nothing is ever said about the mass shootings in Chicago every week in a city with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country 🤔

The McKloskies were armed ,on their own property ,to protect it, IF the nearby protest mob tried to vandalize it.
They didn't shoot anyone and did NOTHING wrong .
Kyle Rittenhouse drove across state lines to put himself in the middle of a conflict .
He didn't need to be there, went fully armed and shot 2 people. BIG difference.
I'd say the same thing if a BLM protestor traveled to a protest , was armed and shot 2 people.
My judgement doesn't change because of politics and I tend to support the cops.

They really need to leave this kid alone. An obvious case of self defense. They should give that kid a medal.
