The video shows a timeline of the shootings during the Kenosha riots on 25 August 2020. In the video, there are two shooting sequences. Both appear to be cases of self-defense.
The video identifies the rifleman as Kyle Rittenhouse.
The first shooting happens as the rifleman is running away from pursuers, in the lot of an auto dealer. You can see him running and people pursuing. One is getting close enough to throw something [molotov cocktail] at him. About five seconds later, you hear shots being fired. A few seconds after the shots, you hear “he shot himâ€.
The man who shot was running for his life, retreating, when he apparently turns and shoots his closest pursuer. It looks to be self-defense.
In the law of self-defense, there is a long-standing concept of disparity of force. Facing multiple attackers who can knock you down and stomp you to death has long been recognized as a disparity of force situation, where the use of a weapon is necessary to preserve your life and/or bodily integrity.
The recent video out of Portland, where the victim did not have a weapon, and did not resist, but was nearly killed by his pursuers, shows how dangerous mob pursuit is. You have a legal right to defend yourself with deadly force against this sort of deadly attack.
After the shots, where the pursuer goes down, the rifleman circles through the cars and comes back to the attacker he just shot. He gets out his phone to call. According to the video, he is calling 911.
