You<\/span><span>&nbsp;didn\u2019t see him out there hammering people down, mowing people down. It\u2019s when the threat got too close and it posed an imminent threat \u2026 he took action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Rittenhouse was not \u201c<span>praying and spraying in a total reaction,\u201d Gilliam added.&nbsp;\u201cIf you look at who these people were that he actually shot, and what their actions were, and how he was trying to get away, and they came after him, everything he did was textbook perfect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEven when he was on the ground, he was not engaging people unless they engaged him,\u201d he remarked. \u201cIt was perfect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>Rittenhouse\u2019s control of his firearm was \u201camazing,\u201d Gilliam emphasized.<\/span><span> \u201c[He] held his weapon properly \u2026 kept his weapon in his hands when he was getting beat [and] when he was running. He wasn\u2019t sweeping people. He didn\u2019t drop his gun, He<\/span><span>&nbsp;held onto it and maintained positive control the whole time with his finger off the trigger.\u201d<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Leftist riots would have been prevented had thousands of Americans followed Rittenhouse\u2019s example to defend the peace, Gilliam held.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was going to help out a neighborhood that he knew was going to be targeted by violent thugs that burned places down and destroyed businesses and lives,\u201d he observed. \u201cHe went there to support those people. If 10,000 people had gone there and done that, none of that stuff would have happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI commend him even more because he had the guts to go there at 17 years old, and go there and try to help people, take care and save their community. He didn\u2019t do anything wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Videos of Rittenhouse shooting his attackers revealed \u201cgreat weapon-handling skills,\u201d Gilliam concluded.
