Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old kid who shot three rioters Tuesday night in Kenosha, Wisconsin, killing two of them, is an American hero.
That’s an unpopular opinion among the Marxists trying desperately to remold our nation into a hellhole, of course. They’re putting in overtime painting him as Literally Hitler. The narrative is as you’d expect from the militant Left: Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old white minor (his race is very important to the narrative), drove across state lines with an illegally obtained AR-15 for the express purpose of scaring people and/or engaging in violence.
Unfortunately for the Left and their propaganda machine, their entire narrative is easily proven to be a malicious, particularly nasty lie. To be clear, Rittenhouse’s age isn’t what makes their smear campaign so horrible. What makes it nasty is that it’s false and serves to gin up even more violence from the crowds that Marx himself would have called useful idiots.
It’s certainly not the Left’s first attempt to trash the life of a minor; you’d think they’d have learned their lesson after watching Nick Sandemann wipe the floor with CNN. The Left isn’t known for their lesson-learning ability, however, which is why they’re trying yet again to force a system upon Americans that has already killed hundreds of millions of people.
In the Battle of Kenosha, as it may come to be known in due time, the patriots won. While the Left (and those cowards who sadly still exist in the Right) doesn’t want you to believe it, we’ll show you exactly why that’s the truth.

I disagree
That attitude and lack of solidarity would have lost the American Revolution for us.
Just saying, I'm sure you think you mean well but you're wrong.
Hi there. Do you bleat here often?
He should get the medal of freedom.
Sorry, missed this post. Ha.
Finally got a chance to watch all the videos thanks to this post.
Red shirt guy charges Rittenhouse and gets shot. Good shoot. Good as in justified self defense.
Rittenhouse has the decency to circle around and see that red shirt is being attended to before fleeing. He calls 911 on his cell letting them know what’s happening before he leaves the scene.
He’s then chased by a bunch of Antifa hooligans, trips and falls. Skateboard guy’s attack is weaker than suggested in the still photos but is still an attack and he gets shot. Medic guy’s attack is more deliberate than suggested in the still photos and he gets shot. Score: two more good shoots.
Rittenhouse’s shoots made the Antifa scatter, leaving him space to jog towards the police vehicles unthreatened.
He’s going to get some technical gun charges but the video clearly shows he acted in self defense.
That said, if this were my 17 year old boy I'd be furious with him for putting himself in this kind of risky situation.
The brave lad faced down the satanic rioting communists —
These clowns calling for their make-believe medics is high comedy. I am sick of these thugs.
The first guy ( Rosenbaum) nearly tackled him (Rittenhouse) from behind; someone fired a pistol nearby (possibly at Rittenhouse) and Rittenhouse turned around to face the pistol shot, AR at the ready, and shot Rosenbaum as he attacked. According to the autopsy Rosenbaum was apparently shot in the front several times and in the back. The actual text of the autopsy report hasn't shown up yet, but the back shot hit vital organs and appears to be the fatal wound. It may be coincident with Rosenbaum diving at Rittenhouse to tackle him.
In the subsequent 2nd attack, Rittenhouse trips and an unknown man attempts to jump and kick Rittenhouse in the head. Rittenhouse fires at least two shots at the assailant as he is overhead. That assailant leaves the scene but appears to have acquired a limp. Huber then strikes Rittenhouse with a skateboard. Apparently Huber attempts to pull the rifle away from Rittenhouse, lining up the muzzle with his heart and forcing the rifle to fire. At this point Grosskreutz was advancing on Rittenhouse and paused for moment. Then as Rittenhouse appeared to clear a malfunction, Grosskreutz started to bring his pistol up from a concealed position and immediately was shot by Rittenhouse. The item that goes skittering on the ground in front of Grosskreutz appears to be a cellphone, not a pistol or rifle magazine as some have conjectured. Possibly Grosskreutz had it in his left hand. Grosskreutz retreats screaming for a medic, another man following Grosskreutz shows his hands and backs away from Rittenhouse, who then stands. Rittenhouse turns and runs towards the police vehicles up the street. He approaches one and apparently they tell him to beat it. Meanwhile Grosskreutz is being tended by another man who is also armed with a rifle. There is a video of Grosskreutz at this point and then the camera is placed on the ground. Subsequently Grosskreutz verbally confirms his pistol is loaded. A post from the hospital by a friend of Grosskreutz claims Grosskreutz say he intended to "empty his magazine" i.e. into Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse had literally fired at the moment Grosskreutz brought his pistol to bear.
It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that Rittenhouse acted decisively and effectively when attacked and was prepared to respond appropriately. It was very obvious his attackers were impulsive optimists, aka criminals.
I see a meme here. Photo of Rittenhouse on one knee with weapon ready. And a title above that says “A highschool kid with military style weapon fighting communists!” Then below, “Where have I seen this before?” Then a picture of the kids in the movie Red Dawn, yelling “Wolverines!”
That’s not the point.
Your comment comes off as maybe you are not very enthusiastic about this struggle.
Your attitude comes off as GOPe.
Go back and read it again.
Seattle.......if you live there, that’s a small bubble.
I’ve made poor comments here too sometimes, even apologized for a few going way back, but it seems maybe you don’t understand this is not the time for...
friendly fire.
Somebody has to run with that one. Good idea.
I have a 17 year old son who lives out of state with his mother, and I’d have been furious too if he did something like that.
Of course, I’d be privately PROUD of him, and publicly ashamed of his behavior.
Damn straight he is...God bless him... 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

Good summary of the sequence of events. Thanks.
