Extended thread, night of August 25th, 2020: Kyle Rittenhouse is seen waving to a passing Bearcat along Sheridan Road in Kenosha
An armed group stands outside Car Doctor in Kenosha, with Kyle near a burned-out vehicle in the lot
11 minutes before the first shots are fired, the crowd is being slowly moved south on Sheridan, after police had fired off teargas and other crowd control munitions in Civic Center Park
Along with the police positioned on Sheridan Road, there are police and firefighters a couple blocks to the west, blocking the area near a fire being put out in a used car lot #Kenosha
Moments after the first shots are fired a few blocks away, much of the crowd begins moving quickly south, towards the sound of the gunfire #Kenosha
Kyle is then seen running northbound, towards the police on Sheridan Road
Warning: Graphic Video
Shortly after the final shooting, police arrive on scene and take away Gaige Grosskreutz into one of their Bearcats
“Leave the area, everyone” Police make an announcement as they try to disperse people remaining near the scene of the shootings on Sheridan Road #Kenosha
More officers arrive as they begin to cordon off the scene at Sheridan & 61st Street in Kenosha
“We got a f**king gun right here.”
“Alright.”
“Victim - one of the guys that got shot - his pistol’s right here.”
An officer points out Gaige’s firearm in the street

The rally is being held by an organization called ‘Look Ahead America’, which is advocating for some of the January 6th arrestees currently in jail. This is their third event in DC this year.

Just got assaulted attempting to cover an anti-eviction march in Detroit this afternoon. A member of the protest ‘security’ ran up, grabbed my camera and forced me against a building #Detroit #DetroitProtests
A man wearing an Antifa pin committed the first assault during the march. Camera stopped a few times while he attempted to steal it. Eventually, others in the group urged him aside to release me from against the building. #Detroit #Antifa #DetroitProtests
“You’re not f***ing welcome here.” A man wearing a Press patch then accosts me and tries to force me to leave, as the crowd marched through Greektown in Detroit #Detroit #DetroitProtests

Many have asked me about this photo, and why I was out there in Kenosha in front of that gunman filming with no body armor or protection. It’s true, I’ve been going out to these scenes with little to no protection due to lack of funds. These things are not easy to cover- (thread) Image
I’ve lost close to $5000 over the last 2 months across multiple coverages. Robbed by a group of 6 masked men w/ guns in Portland for my equipment last month, car windows smashed & additional equipment stolen in Kenosha. Between that & just getting out to these scenes, big deficit
