Who was Joseph D Rosenbaum? First man shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha...

 Whether you think Kyle Rittenhouse was wrong or not, getting shot by an allegedly bad person does not make someone a good person...

Joseph D. Rosenbaum was the first person shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25th 2020. 

    

    Rosenbaum was seen on video confronting the militia group that Kyle was part of that night, upset that one of the militia had put out a dumpster fire that had been set by protestors near a gas station. (I did a video piecing together many different clips of that evening that I will share at the end of this article). 

    

    Rosenbaum was extremely combative and aggressive with the militia group at one point daring them to shoot him. In one of the widely circulated videos of the first shooting Rosenbaum was shot after chasing Kyle across a parking lot and throwing an object at him. A gunshot went off in the distance causing Kyle to turn and fire at Rosenbaum who had gained on him. Rosenbaum later died of his wounds. 

    

    Since the shooting, my fellow activists on the left who have been allowing themselves to be so polarized that everyone involved in any controversy who shares their views is automatically forgiven of all sins. And anyone who opposes their views are automatically guilty. Everything people on our side do or say is always taken in the best possible light up to and including simply denying any wrongdoing. The opposite is true for anyone on the right. 

    

    So there are a lot of articles, facebook posts, etc paying "tribute" or "mourning" the loss of Rosenbaum as if he was a brave warrior for the cause. Here is a quote from the Kenosha News Article

"They came out here every time with us. Sweet. Loving. They were the sweetest hearts, souls." 

    Here is another article that has a headline that says it all. Kenosha shooting victims identified, remembered as ‘sweet,’ ‘loving’ guys by family and friends...

So here is where the myth breaks down...

Rosenbaum was a convicted sex offender. There was some confusion about his place on the sex offender registry as initially it was available but it was expunged because he was deceased. This is a screenshot of his place on the registry before it was removed: 

Here is a screenshot of his inmate profile at Arizona corrections. Link here: Inmate profile for Rosenbaum

Here is a link to his BailBondsHQ profile: Bail Bonds HQ profile... 

    So I stumbled on something else that made my dislike of this man slip into hatred. As I have a child who was victimized by a sex offender at the age of five. Someone found the presentence report. He sodomized young boys. 

And here are his court case files: 

Rosenbaum's victims were five boys, as young as nine years old..

SIDE NOTE: Rosenbaum also had domestic abuse charges, that were later dismissed...

This is the video compilation of the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting incident with plenty of footage of Rosenbaum showing himself to be a less then peaceful protester.
