Kenosha Quickdraw Champion Sued by Runner-Up

Today in clown world; Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by one of the people who allegedly tried to murder him. 

As those who followed the Rittenhouse case remember, Gaige Grosskeutz pointed a loaded gun directly at Rittenhouse, but Rittenhouse was able to literally disarm him by shooting him in the bicep. Grosskeutz himself admitted under oath, with a devastated demeanor, that he wasn’t shot until after pointing his gun at Rittenhouse.  

And in the end, Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges related to shooting Grosskeutz and others in self defense, though anyone who saw the video knows there shouldn’t have been any charges in the first place. Nor could any prosecutor have thought they had any chance of convicting him - the punishment was the process. 

While in a sane world Grosskeutz would’ve racked up attempted murder charges over this, instead he’s attempting to sue Rittenhouse. 

As Fox News reported:

Grosskreutz  has filed a lawsuit against him and Wisconsin police and officials, alleging they "conspired" to let armed individuals patrol the streets and "mete out justice as they saw fit."

The Feb. 14 lawsuit seeks "damages for emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering on all claims," and punitive damages.

Rittenhouse said news of the lawsuit was "very frustrating" and "upsetting."  "This is, honestly, to me, an attack on our Second Amendment rights and our rights to self-defense," he said Wednesday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." 

"And it's saying if you use your God-given right to self-defense, they're going to come after you. If you went to court, you're acquitted, rightfully so, they're going to take you to civil court, and they're going to file. They're going to take you for everything you're worth. They're going to drive you into bankruptcy and drown you in a mountain of legal bills."

After Grosskeutz was shot, a friend of his, Jacob Marshall, posted a photo of them together in the hospital with the caption “can’t stop my boy.” In the comments section in the post, Marshall said “I just talked to Gaige Grosskreutz too. His only regret was not killing the kid and hesitating to pull the gun before emptying the entire mag.” When asked about those comments while under oath, Marshall opted to claim that he made up that quote - which seems unlikely given Grosskreutz’ actions before getting shot.
