The Texas Scorecard ran a tediously unsurprising story yesterday headlined, “
EXCLUSIVE: Kyle Rittenhouse Sued by Estate of Criminal He Shot in Self-Defense.” The sub-headline explained, “The estate of Joseph Rosenbaum has filed a lawsuit on the third anniversary of the Kenosha incident.”
Kyle Rittenhouse is the brave 17-year-old who kept his cool and shot two career criminals — one being Rosenbaum — in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots. Despite the best efforts of a woke DA, a jury found Kyle acted appropriately and not guilty on all charges.
During the Kenosha fracas, Rosenbaum confronted and chased Kyle, eventually throwing a heavy sack at him. Rosenbaum then tried to grab Kyle’s gun. Kyle fired four times, killing his assailant. After that, Rosenbaum’s death tiled off a domino-like series of events leading to a second death and some injuries, as Kyle successfully protected himself from an angry mob of outraged rental protestors.
Lawyers often say, “anybody can sue anyone anytime for anything,” an aphorism well exemplified by the new Rosenbaum civil lawsuit. But some cases are better than others. This new one, filed by Rosenbaum’s relatives — allegedly — is already a stinker, a scratched-at-the-post nonstarter.
You would think Rosenbaum’s relatives would be as appalled and chagrined as anyone else about the deceased protestor’s reprehensible conduct.

During Kyle’s jury trial, evidence showed that Rosenbaum had
extensive mental health problems, and had spent most of his adult life in prison for sexual contact with five preteen boys. And he was repeatedly charged with chronically and contemptibly failing to comply with his paroled pedophile registration requirements.
So Rosenbaum is not super-sympathetic in the role of victim.
For some reason, Rosenbaum used what little adult free time he had out of prison to join an execrable BLM riot and obnoxiously attack armed attendees. A better question would be, who paid hoodlum Rosenbaum to be there? Maybe Rosenbaum’s relatives should sue
those people.
It’s tragic that Kyle must continue to defend himself from nauseating and relentless leftist attacks, but if his lawyers know what they’re doing, they will make short work of this abominable lawsuit.
