Kyle Rittenhouse - who shot three people during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin - offered to travel to Minnesota amid unrest after ICE fatally shot a woman.
'After thinking about it, should I travel across the state line to Minnesota?', Rittenhouse asked in a tweet to his 76,000 followers on X.
Five years ago, a 17-year-old Rittenhouse decided to travel from his home in Illinois to Kenosha during Black Lives Matter protests that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-15-style rifle at a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he shot three people and killed two.
Since being acquitted of all of the charges against him four years ago, Rittenhouse has become a poster boy for Second Amendment rights advocates and right-wing political commentators.
But Wednesday's tweet appeared to be in poor taste for even his most loyal followers with many of them.
'No, and this isn't funny,' replied one X user, bluntly.
'How do you even look yourself in the mirror in the morning?' questioned another.
'You should prob stay home with your beautiful wife and golden retriever!' advised a third.
Rittenhouse's tweet came hours after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a Minneapolis woman who was driving her car on Wednesday morning.
Federal officials say the shooting was an act of self-defense but the city's mayor of described it as reckless and unnecessary.
The 37-year-old woman was shot in the head in front of a family member in a snowy residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets and about a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020.

Honeymoon over?
For Kyle I think it’s just beginning.
Don’t get sucked into their whirlpool of crazy, Kyle!
Maybe stay home.
I figure he has extremely better lawyers this time.
“The Minniesomalia Hat Trick”
His expiration date passed when he said he wouldnt vote for Trump.
fixed it.
He should take after Zimmerman and make some oil paintings. Such things typically sell for tens of thousands.
Kyle, you had your 15 minutes of fame. Relish your freedom and stay clear of any more riots. Another jury won’t see self defense even if it is if you interject yourself into the situation.
I remember a joke around here a few years about drinking “a Rittenhouse”... i.e., a chaser followed by 3 shots.
Never heard that one. Made me chuckle
Raise up a posse of minutemen. Saddle up and head to Minneapolis with
your AR-15. "Chop some wood". Heat things up. Burn this bitch down.
You. stay out of this. Kyle. That’s the last thing anybody needs right now. Kyle acted in a righteous manner on that night with CHOP coming after him. but Kyle is also a Showboat by nature, chasing and loving all the attention.
We don’t need anyone from either side stirring the pot for more Clicks! Stay home with your new Wife and help her to make dinner and/or babies.
Probably not a great idea there, Kyle

Minneapolis Public Schools has cancelled classes for Thursday and Friday for “safety concerns.”
Somali daycares will be closed as well, but can still accept funds.
As a full trained member of ICE, sure but other wise please stay home.
Not satisfied to rest in his laurels, Kyle wishes to go from the Kenosha hat trick to the Minneapolis haul.
