This is pretty amazing considering what we learned yesterday from the Kyle Rittenhouse homicide trial, when “lone survivor” Gaige Grosskreutz caused the prosecution to literally facepalm by admitting that Rittenhouse didn’t fire on him until he advanced on him with a handgun. (He’d previously claimed he was trying to surrender … by pointing a gun at Rittenhouse.) We showed you the headlines from Monday which all overlooked this important detail — probably the biggest moment of the day.
NBC News brought on civil rights attorney David Henderson to comment on the trial, and he actually compared Grosskreutz to a teacher reacting to an active shooter in a school. Rittenhouse was the active shooter, and Grosskreutz was trying to protect others.

He was like a teacher trying to protect his students from an active shooter? That’s insane.
But teachers don’t have guns.

Except that the active shooter was the teacher 🙄

Holy crap are the media and lawyers like this dishonest trash working to sow a narrative, facts be damned.

Rittenhouse was not an "active" shooter, he was a reactive shooter and only when his life was threatened.

This doesn't even matter. Gaige's motives and false perception are irrelevant. Even if Gaige had the purest of motives, from Kyle's perspective Gaige had raised a gun and was pointing at Kyle. Kyle had every reason to defend against this 4th potential threat.

Second, its disingenuous for MSNBC to compare the rioters, vandals and arsonists to a school teacher protecting a classroom from a gunman. A gunman has no business in a classroom. Kyle was protecting property from a mob.

They know Rittenhouse is innocent and are whipping their viewers into a frenzy. Results “peaceful protests“

Bullshit in it's purest form

Clearly he's no longer involved in protecting people's civil rights.

Media sucks

So this is how MSNBC is going to spin this trial; not surprising.
