Gaige Grosskreutz biography: 13 things about Wisconsin manKyle Rittenhouse shot

By Abdel Jibri Omar on November 8, 2021 • ( 24 Comments )

 

Gaige Paul Grosskreutz of West Allis, Wisconsin, United States was one of the men shot by Kyle Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020. They were in the same Black Lives Matter demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin that day.

 

During the demonstration, Rittenhouse was one of the armed civilians who wanted to protect businesses from vandalism. Grosskreutz was one of the protesters demanding justice for Jacob Blake, who was shot by Kenosha Police Department officer Rusten Sheskey in the back at least eight times on August 23, 2020.

 

With a PARAMEDIC cap, a medical bag and a handgun, Grosskreutz volunteered as a medic earlier that night.He was part of the People’s Revolution Movement,a social justice group based in Milwaukee, and attended the demonstration with the group.

 

Carrying a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle, Rittenhouse opened fire during the demonstration, which killed two protesters namely Joseph D. Rosenbaum and Anthony M. Huber.

 

Grosskreutz held his handgun in his right hand as he approached Rittenhouse. The latter opened fire again and hit the former in his right arm.

 

While wounded, Grosskreutz told those helping him to apply a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. He was rushed to a hospital in Milwaukee where he underwent reconstructive surgery.

 

Wenzel Media LLC owner Patti Breitigam-Wenzel organized a GoFundMe fundraiser for Grosskreutz. She has known him since 2011 and considers him as a son and told the Chicago Sun Times that he has “always been someone who’d help out his friends and give them the shirt off his back if he has one.”

 

Kimberley Motley represented Grosskreutz. Here are 13 more things about him:

 

He is the son of Janice A. Grosskreutz. He has an older brother named Joshua Ian A. Grosskreutz and a sister named Rebecca A. Volkmann.

Aside from West Allis, he has lived in different parts of Wisconsin including Hales Corners, La Crosse, Ashland and Milwaukee.

He previously worked as a special events coordinator, a wilderness medical instructor and a sea kayak guide at Lost Creek Adventures, a full-service paddling outfitter in Cornucopia, Wisconsin that also offers courses in outdoor skills, wilderness survival and traditional crafts within the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Bayfield, Wisconsin.

A keen kayaker, he often took people out on boating trips. He was part of a team that uses camping, kayaking, skiing, swimming and other activitiesto help people overcome trauma or substance abuse. It was his goal to pursue a career in wilderness therapy.

From 2009 to 2012, he attended West Allis Central High School. During his freshman year of high school, he went to his first protest in support of LGBTQ rights and his American Politics teacher excused him from class, USA Today has learned.

From 2013 to 2016, he attended Milwaukee Area Technical College at the Oak Creek, Wisconsin campus where he earned his emergency medical technician basic (EMT-B) certification.

In 2016, he was convicted of a criminal misdemeanor for going armed with a firearm while intoxicated. He also had a forfeiture case for not showing obedience to officers and one for loud noises.

He was part of a group of activists who have demonstrated around Milwaukee to seek justice for George Floyd, who died on May 25, 2020, Milwaukee activist Bethany Crevensten told The Oklahoman.

From June 2020 to July 2020, he volunteered as a medic for the Black Lives Matter protests around Milwaukee.

After being shot by Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020, he was treated at two hospitals in Kenosha. Afterwards, Flight for Life airlifted him to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.

He was 26 years old when he was shot by Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020.

He studied outdoor education with an emphasis in program administration atNorthland College in Ashland.He was expected to graduated in December 2020 but his education was put on hold after he was shot by Rittenhouse in Kenosha.

When he testified in court on November 8, 2021, he explained why he was armed on August 25, 2020. He said, “I believe in the Second Amendment. I’m for people’s right to carry and bear arms and that night was no different than any other day. It’s keys, phone, wallet, gun.”

Two prominent voices who have both called for police reform in Wauwatosa will be present Friday in Washington, D.C., during the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington.

Sean Lowe and Kimberley Motley are both attending the Get Your Knee Off Our Necks Commitment March.

Thousands are expected to attend the march, which is hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network, a civil rights organization founded by Sharpton. The march will begin with a rally at the Lincoln Memorial, the site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Participants will then march to the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in West Potomac Park, next to the National Mall.

Wauwatosa has been in the spotlight this summer for the protests and unrest after a police officer fatally shot someone earlier this year.

"We've been on the national map now for all of the wrong reasons," said Lowe, the chairman of the Wauwatosa Equity and Inclusion Commission. "I really want to be in attendance to represent my city well, and for others to know that there's voices in Wauwatosa, and Wisconsin, that care about this cause."

Lowe, who is also the national treasurer for the Urban League Young Professionals, said he'll meet with other members of the national organization and bring some of the ideas he learns back to Wauwatosa. He said the league discusses laws that can be changed in cities and suburbs to help communities.

"We're not a think tank, we're a do tank," Lowe said about the urban league.

Motley, the attorney representing the families of Alvin Cole, Jay Anderson Jr. and Antonio Gonzales — the three people that Wauwatosa police officer Joseph Mensah shot and killed in the line of duty in the last five years — also said she will attempt to bring attention to the shooting deaths.

"My plans are to talk to people about what's happening in Wauwatosa, with my clients that I'm representing there," said Motley, a Milwaukee native who now lives in North Carolina. "Just trying to get ideas and trying to talk to people about what their experiences are in their communities, because I do believe we're stronger together. And maybe try to figure out ways that we can be moving forward against police brutality and police shootings of people.

Writing the website for Women in the World, a summit in a joint venture with The New York Times, former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Q. Nomani relates her findings on the Soros ties to the march. The Women in the World site is hosted by the Times.

 

By my draft research, which I’m opening up for crowd-sourcing on GoogleDocs, Soros has funded, or has close relationships with, at least 56 of the march’s “partners,” including “key partners” Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s anti-abortion policy, and the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump’s environmental policies. The other Soros ties with “Women’s March” organizations include the partisan MoveOn.org (which was fiercely pro-Clinton), the National Action Network (which has a former executive director lauded by Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as “a leader of tomorrow” as a march co-chair and another official as “the head of logistics”). Other Soros grantees who are “partners” in the march are the American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. March organizers and the organizations identified here haven’t yet returned queries for comment.

Patti Breitigam-Wenzel is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Gaige Grosskreutz.

Gaige Grosskreutz, the medic seriously injured August 26 in Kenosha, is out of the hospital and back in the action at a protest. He thanks everyone for their help and told everyone he will continue to protests and then led a moment of silence in honor of the men killed in Kenosha. But he still has medical, legal, and living expenses looming. Please continue to help Gaige following his heroic actions.

They forge connections, pull the levers of change and shape the future of metro Milwaukee.

 

They’re politicians and CEOs, real-estate moguls and sports stars. They’re multimillionaires, entertainment kingpins, talk show hosts and social activists.

 

Some work behind the scenes, others front and center. Some have made the lists in the past, others are newcomers, young and creative and driven, inching their way to the top as the Old Guard falls back.

 

No. 1: Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

 

He’s molded county government around himself, annoying longtime supporters but making new friends, many of them conservatives. “This is a guy with unlimited funds, and everybody knows it,” says one insider. “God knows where his money is.” But can he govern? If you mean outfoxing half the town’s power brokers, yes.
