Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old suspected of fatally shooting at least two people and injuring another during protests in Kenosha over the shooting of Jacob Blake, has been arrested, according to local media reports.
Rittenhouse, 17, was arrested in Illinois and has been reportedly charged with first-degree intentional homicide.
Let me guess, another Soros stooge DA.
The Antifa/BLM crowd were engaged in an organized effort in attacking the man with the rifle. The entire organizations, including those who are funding it, should be charged with attempted murder.

video shows him trying to surrender to police on scene
That’s where the prosecution will make their case.
....He was out looking for trouble ! ....
That will be the claim and where they will hag their hat.
You may be right, but there are tens of thousands of teens
carrying weapons openly in public in these states.
They hunt, and plink.
Being in a war zone, I would think he had a right to carry
for self-defense.
Now some may balk at that, but he has as much right to be
out there as anyone, and that one kid on top of him had a
gun, so it’s obvious it was a situation that warranted the
reasoned ability to defend himself.
Bringing this case to trial may backfire on the Left.
It could be seen as the perfect case to strike down any
limitations to carrying for self defense. A visit to the
Supreme Court could hurt the Left’s intent terribly.
Fine him a dollar, he can mail it in.
Nobody is going to tolerate this, NO WAY.
Storm the prison if necessary and get the kid out of jail.
It’s crystal clear he was defending himself.
At 17, his “friend” should have told him to put the rifle in the trunk of his car, and drive home.
At 17...did you have a lot of friends who owned gas stations in another state?
The more I hear about this kid, the more I feel bad for him and his stupid decisions. His “zeal” for being involved has ruined his life.
What you’re not allowed to have freedom of movement in the US. Illinois is right next to this area. Hell it’s probably a suburb of this town.
I’m grateful for patriots like him. That’s the HUGE difference between you and me.
Reports say 3 people shot, 2 dead...one head shot, one chest. 3rd person shot in arm. Video shows the last 2 people shot in what appears to be self-defense. Shooter got tackled by black guy who ran off, then masked skateboarder tried to assault him with skateboard and got shot in chest and killed. Backpack guy also confronted him and got shot in arm. Don’t know what happened with the first guy that got shot in the head that supposedly started the gunfire. Obviously the riots are what are the root cause of all this, but just don’t know the justification for the first shots fired.
Yes, bring in a posse with a mandate to shoot anyone breaking a law including trespass.
What the purpose of this is for I don't know. But if you think that it is our of remorse for some fool that don't have enough sense not to fight with the Police when they have him dead to rights, you got another think coming. I doubt if even one of those out there burning and stealing would have known him if he had walked up to them and bit then on the ass. Another question. Does the City have a Fire Department? In none of the pictures of buildings and cars burning did I see a fire truck or firemen working. That is particularly disturbing because Arson[the unlawful setting of a fire]is considered a felony class crime. An arsonist can be considered a potential murderer. Deadly Force may be used to defend Fire Fighters performing their duty and protection. I saw no police cars. no fire trucks, No Policemen, no firemen. Only burning structures and who knows how many disabled victims trapped inside. I do not what is wrong about that but something is not right. I am sure the residents that had their property burned had a Fire Department tax listed on their property tax bill. But if they are not smart enough to raise hell. there is nothing I can do about it.
I think all he'd have to do is contribute to provoking the incident, presumably the chase. I'm sure the prosecutor will look at illegal open possession of a rifle as provocation. What else went on, who knows.
No but in the very first video you can here the person filming saying it was “Antifa shit going down?”
skateboard guy was later hauled off by people with a very large vehicle - sherif I think - manhandled the body up and into the back ramp.
What happens when you catch a load in the heart
Have you seen any adults anywhere? Governors, mayors, MSM reports, Big corps donating tens of millions of dollars to BLM? Where are the adults?
Oddly, I wasn't chosen...
Absolutely.
