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.

...but that’s only if he didn’t put himself in the position of needing to defend by getting into stuff he shouldn’t have been involved with in the first place.

Right, that’s going to be the key. The legalities of everything that played out downstream will probably depend on that initial circumstance. I hope there’s clear evidence that he didn’t provoke the chain of events.

After the event, he crossed a state line.

I think the chain of events may lead to Federal issues.

While the militia was protecting the other auto dealership where the shooting took place (the dealership across the street had cars set on fire night before) the officers guarding the courthouse were bombarded with a hostile crowd using lasers, debris, rocks, bottles and explosive devices

[caww]

His hometown was in Illinois.

Antifa, blm, and peaceful protesters defying 8:00 curview ,trying to break down fence to get to the courthouse to set it ablaze.

I never said he didn’t have the right to self defense. I never said the rioters were in the right.

Those are suppositions made by other commenters.

Enjoy your wife.

Tan shorts guy is also a felon in possession of a firearm.

The can of Simply Saline in the backpack would indicate that this guy is the unit medic. I would like to know where he is from and what else is in the backpack. Since he is armed, he is probably in the command chain so his phone could also be interesting to check out.

“Kid has more balls then you will ever have. You sound to me like a CNN faggot.”

He wouldn’t be in jail now facing serious charges if he had some basic training. I get the feeling you actually don’t care about the kid. He’s just a disposable poster boy for you.

Looks like he beat him with a skateboard and attempted to steal his gun https://t.co/ndwP5W01NG pic.twitter.com/FPCmdnq9DJ— Cassandra Fairbanks (@CassandraRules) August 26, 2020

Okay, we both agree that he shouldn’t have been there! Take care!

[KC_Lion]

Skater Dude definitely has his hands on that guy's gun.

[Armscor38]

Maybe but I’m sure those stones have shrunk to nothing by now. Mine are still fine and will stay that way because I refuse to associate with armed citizens who don’t know what they are doing. You may be fine with hanging with folks who could shoot you, either by accident or intentionally.

Good pic along with KC_Lion’s post just above this

Indeed he does and that’s AFTER he bashed the kid in the head with the skateboard.

Holding hands like 14 yr olds while she's yelling and flipping off the police.....dumped trash receptical nearby....

the Perfect picture of terribly immature lazy spoiled children of leftist society

[caww]

This is no student!

They may not succeed in getting him convicted, but they will probably succeed in bankrupting him and his family in legal fees.

This vile armed rioter/looter was also wearing garments emblazoned PARAMEDIC which seems especially despicable.
