Kyle Rittenhouse Counter-Sues Man Who Seemingly Tried To Kill Him

Kyle Rittenhouse Shoots Gaige Grosskreutz

Just before Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges for shooting three men in self defense, killing two, Gaige Grosskreutz sued a myriad of people and organizations. He filed the suit in the United States Eastern District of Wisconsin federal court on October 14, 2021. Notably missing from the list of defendants was Rittenhouse himself. During the trial Grosskreutz admitted that Rittenhouse only shot him after Grosskreutz pointed his own gun at Rittenhouse. The video was shared tens of thousands of times on social media and most agreed that this admission defeated any possible lawsuits from the career criminal. Instead, his activist far-left attorney, Kimberly Motley, added Rittenhouse to the lawsuit on February 14, 2023.

Yesterday, on April 13, 2023, Rittenhouse counter-sued Grosskreutz. In his countersuit, Rittenhouse claims that Grosskreutz assaulted him, writing:

“Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz committed unlawful conduct by carrying a concealed weapon without a valid license; running up on Counter-Plaintiff Rittenhouse with his weapon drawn as Rittenhouse lay on the ground; feigning surrender; pointing a loaded pistol at Rittenhouse’s head; and moving in for the kill. By running up on Counter-Plaintiff Mr. Rittenhouse with his weapon drawn as Rittenhouse lay on the ground; feigning surrender; pointing a loaded pistol at Mr. Rittenhouse’s head; and moving in to for the kill; Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz placed Mr. Rittenhouse in a reasonable apprehension of imminent and harmful contact. Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz intended to place Mr. Rittenhouse in apprehension of imminent and harmful contact by attempting to execute him.The misconduct described in this Count was intentional and undertaken with malice, willfulness, and reckless indifference to the rights of Mr. Rittenhouse.As a result of these actions, Counter-Plaintiff Rittenhouse suffered severe injuries, including emotional distress.”

Rittenhouse is also suing for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress writing:

Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz’s actions set forth above were undertaken with intent or knowledge that there was a high probability that the conduct would inflict severe emotional distress and physical injury, and with reckless disregard of that probability. Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz’s actions set forth above were undertaken with malice, willfulness, and reckless indifference to the rights of Mr. Rittenhouse. Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz’s conduct intentionally or recklessly caused severe emotional distress to Mr. Rittenhouse.”

Lastly, Rittenhouse is suing Grosskreutz for Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, writing:

Paid Advertisement

“Counter-Plaintiff Rittenhouse was impacted by the incidents related to Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz’ negligence. Counter-Plaintiff Rittenhouse suffered serious emotional distress of the type that a reasonable person would expect to occur based upon Counter-Defendant Grosskreutz’s conduct. As a direct and proximate result of the conduct referenced above, Counter-Plaintiff Rittenhouse suffered injuries, including severe emotional distress.”

Rittenhouse is seeking Compensatory and consequential damages, including damages for emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering on all claims allowed by law in an amount to be determined at trial, punitive damages on all claims allowed by law and in an amount to be determined at trial, Attorney’s fees and costs associated with this action on all claims allowed by law, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at the lawful rate; and any other appropriate relief at law and equity that this Court deems just and proper.

  1. While he is at it, can Rittenhouse counter sue dead skateboarder’s dad for raising a lifetime criminal POS?
    That would make my heart feel warm.

  2. Now let’s dig into why Grossjewtz had an international lawyer, why his phone wasn’t searched and why the Soros cuck Michael Gravely didn’t charge Grossjewtz with attempted murder. Amazing how Rittenhouse attackers were all Jews despite only being 2% of the population isn’t it?

    Dennis Jantzen, what do you know of Dave Beth’s involvement in this operation?

    Hey Gaige: Fuck you! I know you lerk here you pussy.

    FBI: Fuck you too. You had Drones watching everything take place in real time and did nothing. Is this what your ADL handlers marching orders are? Shy is ADL training FBI agents? Where are your oaths? Traitors!

    Hey Kevin: Have you released Gaiges new name yet?

      1. A few off the top of my head:
        Revelation 2:9
        Revelation 3:9
        John 8:44
        Obadiah
        Matthew 15:24
        Romans 9:13

        God tells us who they are and he hates them too despite the lies at the pulpit by “Judeo Christianity”. 501C3 status comes with implications.

        My “fixation” is on point, backed by Gods word and supported by real, world history. I know truth and will not be misled or mislead anybody. I’m not sorry that the truth is disturbing to you.

    1. Gaige Grosskreutz was not charged because he was the State’s star witness, even though he failed to lie on the stand (like he lied on Good Morning America) He got out of multiple DWI, a prowling charge and was never charged for illegally carrying an illegal for him to touch handgun.

      The problem is probably Soros-backed government employees (although I concede that ADA Binger is not an elected official.) Also I’d have to blame most of the popular media who seemed to have a vendetta to slaughter Kyle’s credibility. He’s not in jail solely because of ample video evidence and competent lawyers.

      Your obsession with blaming Jews first, foremost, and repeatably is diluting your argument. The four people Kyle shot at in self-defense were all reprobates.

  3. This harkens back to the O.J. Simpson case where he was acquitted of the criminal homicide but found liable in a subsequent civil case.

    5
      1. It’s at least somewhat similar. The main difference is that unlike OJ, Gaige was never criminally charged for his conduct, which is strange because OJ’s crimes weren’t caught on video!

  4. The leadership of Kenosha at the time seemed to just stand back and allow unchecked violence and destruction while agents of the U.S. government viewed it from above.
    This lawsuit will once again raise questions about why local leaders allowed the burning of Kenosha to happen in the first place.

  5. Maybe we could negotiate an out of court settlement where Rittenhouse agrees to drop his suit, if Grosskreutz will in return beat himself to death with a skateboard?

  6. Kevin, take down this hateful discussion! It is doing nothing to glorify Rittenhouse by publishing this anti-Jewish filfth. You seem to want The Kenosha Eye to be taken seriously. This conversation will turn off most rational people.

    6
    6
    1. Jew wants to control free speech. Wants Kevin to take down entire article for this commenter providing truthful information about Kyle’s attackers and the ADLs involvement in our FBI. Look up why the ADL was formed in the first place. Imagine a group of people so hated they have been kicked out of 109 countries and so hated they make up laws making it illegal to hate them, their precious Holocaust is a hoax so they could milk the world for generations and that’s what they have done. What’s never discussed is why they are kicked out. Here we can see why and the lengths these real racists will go to hide their collective crimes. Call them democrats or communists and they are cool, call them Jew and they will hiss. Here we see the hissing by the Jew. Pay attention folks, notice how they operate. Their goal is white genocide. They are the true haters.

      5
      11
      1. Lastly, Kyle’s lawyers should try getting hate crimes charged on Grossjewtz as their was a collective effort by Jews to kill Kyle Rittenhouse. Time to use our court system against them at is is used against us by them.

        10
        1. I’m Not associated with Kevin in any way. Just care about my community. My comments are my own and are factually true. Try discrediting anything I wrote. If I’m wrong on anything, than take it down. Spreading truth here, not hate. Truth is so threatening that it needs to be taken down? You want the king of free speech In Kenosha to shadow ban my comments that are all true? You trying to silence me is very telling about who you are.

          5
          7
          1. No, you are not red pill, you are poison pill. You are hateful and will taint everyone you touch. It’s not a matter of free speech to turn someone’s plate into a toilet. Please, Kevin, block this hateful taint. (pun intended.

            5
            3
        2. This comment of yours encourages more to get your gander up-pls just move forward and ignore the poor soul- or say a prayer for him.

          1
          1
      2. Mr. Red Pill, der Führer died in 1945. You don’t like Jews? You like to blame them because your wife cheated on you or you can’t pay your electric bill? Oh I see, you don’t like them because you are with the towel head crusade. What if any the Rittenhouse case has to do with Jews and your extemporaneous conspiracies? Kyle doesn’t have a clue of what a Jew is. Your ideas are discrediting Matt Kevingston’s county eye. You are giving free ammo to all those liberals out there accusing this site for being a Nazi one.
        Kev: it’s OK to honor freedom of speech, however a little moderation with these kind of mini Mengeles won’t hurt.

  7. I could provide bounds of information that you have never seen before and you would claim it as false. I have spent the time searching for answers to my questions. Yes, It never happened as the propaganda states that is pushed down our throats. The real Holocaust was Holodomor where Bolshevik Jews starved and murdered white russians and ukrainians. Farms had their grain stolen and sold on the market while they literally starved approximate 11 million. Never heard about that did you? It’s much easier to call somebody a racist, an anti-semite, a white supremacist or ask for comments to be removed. Questioning or even putting your indoctrination aside is not easy to do. It’s harder to admit you are wrong than to accept the truth. I’m not going to turn the comment section into a world history lesson. Hopefully your mind is inquisitive enough to question yourself this: “Am I wrong, I need to see if this guy is crazy or not.” If you did the research and knew where to look you would be back here apologizing to me. Unless of course, you are a jew or a freemason. Then, you are just a liar as Jesus stated.

    3
    5
    1. I see. You can provided no evidence to back up your anti-Semitic babbling. I challenge you to provide the names of the libraries and archives where you did your research and what primary sources you consulted. You can’t because your “research” consisted of clicking on some web sites put up by dangerous and evil people who think like you. The real “Truth” is that you and those like you are full of crap. Your toxic hate speech has no place here or anywhere else. PROVIDE FACTS, NOT YOUR DELUSIONS! Maybe tomorrow, you can prove to us that the Earth is flat.

      2
      1. I looked back through my years of research and I was wrong about everything! So glad you were here to help me through it!

        We live on a spinning ball floating through space at 66k mph, jews are God’s chosen, the fed is our friend, politicians have our best interest in mind, and big pharma is here to help.

        How could I have been so dumb?!?! Do I have it all right now?

        5
        1. Fed? Jews?
          Wake up! It’s 10,000 illegals crossing every night from the southern border every 24 hours, and a few hundred Indians, Chinese and Russians coming through the northern one. They use our socials and steal our benefits.
          China challenging us all over the world and making us more vulnerable everyday.
          That’s what is destroying America !

        2. Mr. Red Pill, is your source of info Gauletier Julius Streicher?

          Mr. Matt Keviston, your site is starting to sound like “Der Stuermer“. Problem is this ain’t Germany and we are not on the 30s/40s

          Thanks for honoring freedom of speech.

    1. This comment of yours encourages more to get your gander up-pls just move forward and ignore the poor soul- or say a prayer for him.

  8. Just 6 inches more to the right and poor Kyle would have done the world a big favor.

    Too bad in my opinion that that that package of exploding ground beef over his bicep wasn’t his head instead.

    Keep hope alive baby. Black BM’s matter and YES WE CAN !!!!

  9. What is disturbing is the call to censor. Why have so many of you become so weak minded that you can’t stand to read something you don’t like? Disagree, thumbs down if you like, but calling for censorship is fascism. You people that are asking him to remove comments are no better than the liberal media deciding what people should think.

    1. Because what I have presented is truth and cuts into both left and right which can’t exist without one another. If all woke up to the reality of what I said, this nonstop division would come to an end quickly. The secret can’t be revealed yet it’s in plain sight. The population has been groomed to only argue the talking points and not to think for themselves. They will reject what they have been told to reject and embrace what they have been told to embrace while their nation is destroyed from within while they are distracted .

      We know the FBI was watching everything in real time, yet they did nothing. The ADL trains FBI agents. Research it.

      Locally, we see Ted Kmiec and the death/drugs surrounding him and common sense tells me that he is waist deep in corruption. He would likely bring too many down with him so he must be protected at all costs. He’s a democrat, yet we have the republican Samantha Kerkman covering his ass at the taxpayers expense . This is what you get with two headed beast system. This system is in plain sight as represented in 33rd degree Masonic flag as well as the Russian coat of arms flag. Regarding flags, the “Star of David” is actually the star of Remphan (read Acts 7:43). Jews are Satanist and much of the satanic Bible is derived from the Kabbalah. Jews use the Kabbalah and the Talmud. Practicing Jews literally hate Jesus (Jeshua) and Christians. 501c3 Christians are taught that Jews are Gods chosen and good people. These are lies at the pulpits.

      The people commenting here (some) are more outraged for me calling it out than they are with what’s happening. This shows only 1 of 2 things: dumbed down through indoctrination or part of the club. Common sense tells me they are part of the club on this site. Smart people go to KCE for truth. The dumb ones don’t know what’s going on and rely on Kenosha News, they are kept dumb.

      Go ahead and give me thumbs down, I’m not here for likes but to try waking the smart ones up from their stupor. The red pill is the poison pill to those that control you.

      Fact check me please.

      1. I am still waiting for you to provide your evidence that the Holocaust was a hoax. You won’t because you can’t..

        1. Look into the 1933 Transfer Agreement.

          Predictive programming decades before WW2 by Jewish controlled newspapers.https://archive.org/details/6-million-jews-newspapers

          Europa: The Last Battle gives a complete understanding of what really happened.https://archive.org/details/europa_the_last_battle_etlb

          There is also data from the Red Cross that shows it didn’t happen.

          There wasn’t enough time during the the years of WW2 logistically to gas 6 million…impossible.

          There is so much more!

          To put the puzzle together you need to know the significance of bloodlines. This is by far the most important in understanding history. Adam – Jesus. The Abrahamic covenant/birth right. If you don’t believe in God or Creation you’ll never understand any of it. Without the fear of God, you will not receive wisdom or knowledge. You will not have the capacity to understand. It’s a gift or a curse depending on how you look at it.

          Also need to understand
          The central bank system/federal reserve.

          Once again, bloodlines are the key to understanding. The books of the Bible are not just stories but a book of geneology. Bloodlines! This is the reason for open borders into white countries. Israel doesn’t have open borders. Our culture through media is designed to wipe out white bloodline in the name of diversity. Israel’s black population is something like .002%
          Look into how many Jews serve in the us armed forces vs how many are in Congress/senate. It’s not that they are smarter, they control us. Infiltration instead of invasion. Just like Bolshevik revolution and what it did to Russia. Stalin Trotsky and all the Bolshevik Jews changed their names to avoid being indentified as Jews…just like Gayge Grossjewtz is trying to do now after the fact. He too is a satanist. He was wearing pentagram the night Kyle missed his head.

          Although really don’t want the answers. Others may find it useful.

          1
          2
          1. My neighbor said the Holocaust never happened. I had never believed that, but after 2020, I wonder about a lot of things now. I KNOW 911 happened and I’ve heard Jewish people talk about the Holocaust so it’s really hard to believe it didn’t happen. Maybe Ill look into the things you listed and form my own opinion. Thanks!

          2. First, we should define antisemite. Anti+Semite. What is a Semite? Aren’t Semites just aboriginal natives from the Mediterranean areas? Or could it be tracked linguistically? Speaking Proto-Sematic language? I do have trouble with the antisemitic accusations especially considering the literal meaning. Then we have the somewhat relative term of Jews. Are these bloodlines from Judah or Isaiah? Perhaps conversos? As in the Kazaars? Or maybe the preserved bloodlines of the Akkadians, Canaanites, or Hyksos? It is a convoluted subject that is intentionally obscured.
