'Seemed like a swell chap': Prosecutor lists some of the crimes Joseph Rosenbaum committed the night he was killed

A lot of people have wondered what Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger would be doing differently if he were defending Kyle Rittenhouse. As we’ve pointed out, he’s already resorted to mocking Rittenhouse for defending himself, perhaps hoping snark will play well with the jury. It appears here that he’s trying to suggest that Joseph Rosenbaum didn’t deserve to be shot and killed in Kenosha, but all he’s doing with us is showing the state of mind Rosenbaum was in — one of wanton destruction.

So many people wonder why Rittenhouse crossed state lines to be in Kenosha. Why was he there? Well, why was Rosenbaum there? Well, we know from video footage he was there to threaten people. But gosh, look at how little Rosenbaum had done; just your normal rioting, that’s all.

Binger says that the all Rosenbaum did the night of the shooting was tip over a porta-potty, light a dumpster on fire, swing a chain, tip over a trailer and set it on fire, and say the n-word pic.twitter.com/OgC4XvJulS

Sounds just like a stand-up guy who in no way would be triggered to chase down a kid who was cleaning up graffiti and putting out those dumpster fires.

He forgot the threatening to kill Kyle part. 🤔

Also, threatening a man’s life and attempting to take his weapon

Then chased Kyle and tried to remove his rifle from his hands so he could pop Kyle. Must have forgot that part

About swinging that chain:

Rittenhouse says Rosenbaum threatened to kill him twice before the shooting. During the first time, Rosenbaum was armed with a chain.

Is it just me or is anyone else wondering why the prosecutor just announced numerous felony criminal acts committed by Rosenbaum…and then never charged Rosenbaum with any crimes??

Several counts of arson, pushing a flaming dumpster at police, pointing a gun a Rittenhouse…

Maybe if the cops had put rioters like Rosenbaum in cuffs he’d still be alive.

And what was the context of that n-word?

Now that it is confirmed Joseph Rosenbaum was one of the people shot and killed by alleged gunman Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, I filmed him earlier in the night taunting the armed civilians, saying, "Shoot me, n***a." pic.twitter.com/Nn2encm78Y
