It’s been nearly two years since Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide. The case captured the nation’s attention, with the Left lusting to imprison this young man for doing nothing wrong. It was justified self-defense.

Our own Julio Rosas was in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when this incident occurred, part of the 2020 summer riots that became a topic of discussion for that year’s presidential election. Rittenhouse killed Anthony Huber and Joe Rosenbaum, who were no angels: Huber was a rapist and domestic abuser, and Rosenbaum was a pedophile. Yet, this case was dredged up because one of the witnesses, Gaige Grosskreutz, whom Rittenhouse shot in the arm when he pointed a gun at him, got hit by a car on September 2. It wasn’t just a little tap either—the man got trucked:
Mr. Grosskreutz also changed his name (via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):
It's been two years since Gaige Grosskreutz became linked to the deadly actions of one-time homicide suspect Kyle Rittenhouse, and he says he can't shake them.
This week, Grosskreutz filed a secret petition to change his legal name — that was quickly reported by a conservative news outlet, prompting his call for a leak investigation by the Milwaukee County Clerk of Circuit Court.
Grosskreutz, 29, of West Allis, was shot in the arm by Rittenhouse on Sheridan Road in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020, minutes after Rittenhouse fatally shot two other men with the same AR-15-style rifle. The violence came on the third night of protests, looting and arson that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake Jr.

The vehicle plowover wasn’t a politically motivated incident. The driver has been arrested and charged with two hit-and-run charges, along with driving with a suspended license. It also seems that many people get hit at this intersection in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE —
The victim in Brady Street's most recent hit-and-run continues to recover and spoke exclusively with 12 News Wednesday. The hit-and-run happened at the intersection of Warren Avenue and Brady Street on Milwaukee's east side on Saturday, Sept. 2.
The man, who asked us not to use his full name, was walking along Brady Street around 9 p.m. that night when he went to use the crosswalk to get across Warren Avenue.
"I looked to my right and saw a car that had its blinker on, and they were presumably waiting for me to go through the crosswalk," he said.
A nearby surveillance camera captured what happened next. It shows a silver SUV swerve around that car, quickly turn left and slam right into him.
"I went on top of the hood and was dragged under and was stuck underneath the vehicle for a good 20 feet before I came out underneath, and next thing I know, I'm laying on the street looking upwards and wondering what happened," he told 12 News.
With visible road rash, the man said he spent several days in the hospital with a lacerated liver and multiple broken bones. But once released, he began a mission to find video and track down the driver.
"We compiled all the evidence that we had, including footage, still shots, public DMV records, vehicle owner records, and we provided this to the Milwaukee Police Department," he said.
"What has their response been? Have you heard from them?" 12 News Hannah Hilyard asked.
"Unfortunately, this investigation has suffered from some delays that are partially out of our control. Unfortunately, at this time, we haven't heard anything back from Milwaukee Police Department. But it is our hope, with information we provided, that they will be able to move forward in this investigation," he replied.
The victim believes the car that struck him was a silver Ford Escape, although, in a statement, the Milwaukee Police Department said, "It was a silver or gray SUV, possibly a Jeep Cherokee."
12 News reached out to MPD Wednesday to discuss the case further. They had not yet responded. Previously, they told 12 News they continue to search for an unknown driver.
