I didn't save any links but I heard this several times and I believe it came up in the case and was ruled inadmissible, as with referring to the people he shot as "victims." I could not find it again any easier than you but since my main source of news is the Washington Post and not YouTube it should not be hard to track down.

It was definitely not a quote of a quote of a quote of a quote. You do however have my word that I am not making it up nor propagating dubious sources.
Honestly, Steve, everything about this case disgusts me. Both the finding of innocence and the wild charges of white supremacy. In my mind "stupid kid" and "fucking second amendment" cover it. Clearly though this moron was amped up on the whole hero image, stalking around wit gun in hand and at the ready.
If someone wants to bracket a few seconds and say "look, he was defending himself!" I am not playing. He got an assault rifle and waded into chaos. Any mentally sound person would have stayed home.
OK, let's be clear. There was rioting, arson, and mayhem; people were already being injured (tho not killed) before the first shooting. The records suggest a minimum of 3 other guns out in the crowd that night (ie: not including the armed folks defending the car lot), one handgun seen and heard on the videotape just before Rittenhouse shot Rosenbaum, one firing 3 shots just after, and the one that Huber pointed at Rosenbaum; but accounts say there were others.
I would agree that Rittenhouse was foolish. But by your standards, there was nobody on the street that night who was of sound mind, including the 3 folks who got shot.

I didn't say that, didn't say anything remotely like that. I wasn't there.
But I do know that chaos attracts people who think mayhem is fun. There had been two days of mayhem that the cops did nothing about.
And only one person at the melee actually killed anyone.
