I want to see the contract.Kenosha car dealer denies he asked gunmen to protect his business
A Kenosha car dealer said Thursday he never asked a band of riflemen to guard one of his businesses the night of two fatal shootings, contesting a narrative the accused gunman's attorney told on Fox News.
Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, almost immediately became a cause célèbre among conservatives and gun rights advocates. His new attorney, John Pierce of Los Angeles, told Fox News' Tucker Carlson that Rittenhouse acted in clear self-defense because the three victims had chased and were trying to disarm and hurt him.
In telling the story, Pierce repeated a storyline already popular in social media, that the group of rifle-toting men Rittenhouse was with that night had been asked by the owner of a damaged business to protect what he had left.
But the co-owner of Car Source said Thursday he didn't hire the men, ask for their help or endorse it.
"Why would I?" Anmol Khindri said, in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I'm already burned out. There was nothing left to protect."
Khindri said when he left the area Tuesday around the time of the curfew — 9 p.m. that night — he did not authorize people to be on his roof or remember seeing gunmen there.
He is trying to evade liability now. He knows this is going to turn into a wrongful death claim.
Someone must have captured it before the Deep State took it down offa places.
If he actually employed them, the business is now liable for everything they did.
