Rittenhouse defends himself again from leftist attacker Gaige Grosskreutz, this time with a countersuit

Kyle Rittenhouse shot three attackers who mobbed him during a BLM riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 25, 2020. He was cleared of all charges in 2021.

While he fatally dropped two of his attackers, domestic abuser with multiple convictions and a violent child molester, Rittenhouse merely disarmed the third attacker, Gaige Grosskreutz, with a well-placed shot to the arm.

In February, Grosskreutz — who advanced on the then-17-year-old with a loaded weapon — added Rittenhouse to the civil lawsuit he originally filed against the city and county of Kenosha along with local law enforcement officials.

Rittenhouse announced Saturday that he will be launching a countersuit against Grosskreutz for assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

"With the prayers, love, and support of countless Patriotic and freedom-loving Americans, Kyle beat the odds, won his freedom, and proved to a nation that justice is possible, even in the face of overwhelming political and societal pressures. Unfortunately, Kyle finds himself with his back up against a wall again," says Rittenhouse's GiveSendGo page, where he seeks to raise money both for his legal defense and offense.

The page suggests that recent efforts to penalize Rittenhouse for defending himself are "intended to degrade further the protections afforded to us under the Second Amendment of The United States Constitution and our God-give Right to Self Defense."

Gregg Re, investigative producer of "Tucker Carlson Tonight," replied "lmao" to the announcement on Twitter and provided a link to Grosskreutz's testimony at Rittenhouse's murder trial, where the leftist admitted to taking aim at Rittenhouse with his loaded handgun.

During Grosskreutz's cross-examination, defense lawyer Corey Chirafisi posed the question: "When you were standing three to five feet from [Rittenhouse] with your arms up in the air, he never fired, right?"

"Correct," responded Grosskreutz.

"It wasn't until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun, now your hands down and pointed at him, that he fired, right?" said Chirafisi.

Grosskreutz again answered in the affirmative.

Despite ostensibly admitting in court to being an aggressor in the incident, Grosskreutz, who was previously charged with a firearm offense, paints a different picture in his lawsuit.

The leftist's lawsuit alleges that Grosskreutz "approached with his hands in the air to try to ease the situation and stop the killing," reported Fox News Digital.

Rittenhouse is seeking compensation and consequential damages, including damages for emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering, as well as declaratory relief.

Rittenhouse, represented by Mark Richards and Natalie Wisco, demands a jury trial.
