Still trying to verify this but here’s some early reports regarding the shooting victims aka the guys that attacked the guy with a long gun.

I find it really annoying when people post pictures without links to source data.

I have really found the investigation of this incident extremely fascinating. The early media reports were almost all extremely far from the truth of what appeared to transpire with Kenosha/Rittenhouse shootings. Ironically the NTYs has put out one of the best summaries I've seen from a MSM organization. Here's the summary below. All videos are clearly marked for violence.

Here's a couple of interesting things I don't think the NYT's twitter thread fully captures:
1) From watching all the video interviews of the armed men defending the auto repair shop (Rittenhouse primary location), gas station across the street and car lot further south, it is apparent that the group was there to defend property and provide medical aid if needed. I have not found any footage of the armed group saying anything you would expect from a group of extremist. They actually said the opposite in almost al instances. Such as... "We just don't want the crowd to damage property" "We don't have a problem with BLM, just fight with the police and don't destroy our property". I can share footage if others are interested.
2) I also watch as much footage of Rittenhouse before the incident as possible. I can't say for absolute certain that he did not have some type of extreme views but he was apparently not there to express them. At least I have seen nothing of the sort on video footage. My best guess is he was a naive 17-year old.
3) I'm fairly confident there were other shooters and others with guns in the area. Everyone has seen the pictures of the guy with the gun that got his arm blown to pieces. I have seen video of at least one other bearded guy in black carrying a pistol. I think this could be the guy in the NYT video that shows the muzzel flash just before the 1st Rittenhouse shooting. I've also heard two camera men mention that some other people other than the large armed group (Rittenhouse's group) were carrying a weapons. I could not see it in video.
4) Finally, I'm fairly certain based on the timeline I've built that as Rittenhouse was approaching police after the 2nd shooting there is a series of gunshots from another location. I have yet to see anyone report on this information.
5) The last question I have yet to answer is "why did Rittenhouse choose to move from the yellow location to the red star where the 1st shooting occurs (see map below). There were clearly people at the location of the 1st shooting breaking car windows and trying to start a fire. I've looked for footage of Rittenhouse between the yellow location and red location from multiple sources and have not found anything. I want to know was there and altercation as he traveled south. Was he running with others in the group to defend the property at the location of the 1st shooting. One man in Rittenhouse's group in a video after the shooting states they were protecting three locations including the location of the 1st shooting. I suspect there is video footage out there but I can't find it.

The map below will give you some perspective. If you have questions or want to see video footage to answer your questions. Feel free to let me know.
