You gotta watch, go back a bit, to after he has Rittenhouse watch the drone video on the big tv. This is amazing.

Littlefinger is arguing with Rittenhouse is arguing that Kyle was the aggressor and somehow provoked Rosenbaum into chasing him by pointing the gun at him after Rosenbaum chased him and threw an unknown object at him. Then he insisted that Rittenhouse had no reason to shoot Rosenbaum even after Rosenbaum started pulling his gun away from him.

Remember, this is after Rosenbaum told him twice that he would murder him.

Kyle: I attempted to deter Mr Rosenbaum. But he didn't stop chasing me. He was going to take my gun and kill me. I wanted him to stop. I didn't want to have to kill Mr Rosenbaum

You point your AR at someone else, that may make them feel they are about to be killed by you.

Rosenbaum was chasing me, he said he would kill me if he got me alone, I was alone, I pointed it at him, he continued to chase me.

Binger: Rosenbaum never said anything about grabbing your gun?

No, but he actually tried to take it.

Binger: You assumed he was going to take your gun.

If he had taken by gun he would have killed me.

Binger: You pointed it at him.

Littlefinger is now arguing that you can't shoot a man who is kicking you and stomping your head when you're on the ground, because "he doesn't have a weapon." He says he only used "one foot."

He is now arguing that Grosskreutz only had a handgun and Kyle had an AR-15 and therefore had nothing to fear so he should have let Grosskreutz point the handgun at him.

This series of questions:

Rosenbaum only chased you and tried to take your gun.

The guy who kicked you only stomped you in your face.

Huber only hit you in the head with a skateboard used as a club.

And now: Grosskreutz only pointed a handgun at you.

You had an AR-15 and should have just absorbed all these attacks because it is the only Real Weapon at the scene.
