"While Bertain declined medical aid following the Dec. 22, 2018 incident, he later told family members he felt like his ribs had been broken and was found unresponsive three days later after he called 911 for help."
As opposed to the two people that were shot and killed within seconds during the Rittenhouse event. Those people didn't have a chance to walk away and have the option of receiving medical aid, they were dead as soon as they were shot. Immediately. Couldn't decline aid. They were already dead. That's the difference between a semi automatic rifle and a ####ing skateboard. Walk away and die three days later because of your own stupidity of refusing medical aid versus being dead on the spot.

"On May 5, 2021, a Humboldt County jury found Jason Ryan Barnes, age 48, of Eureka, guilty of one count of involuntary manslaughter for the homicide of Bernhard “Ben” Bertain and two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
The jury also found true the special allegations that Mr. Barnes personally caused great bodily injury or death and personally used a deadly weapon. Barnes had been charged with second degree murder."
Come on counsellor. I would hope you are smarter than that.
