KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) Prosecutors on Thursday charged a 17-year-old from Illinois in the fatal shooting of two protesters and the wounding of a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a night of unrest following the weekend police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Kyle Rittenhouse faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, one count of first-degree reckless homicide, one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment. He would face a mandatory life sentence if convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, the most serious crime in Wisconsin.

I do not understand why a 17 year old from Illinois was in Wisconsin defending guarding businesses. Was this a family or friend's business? Was he with family and friends?
In keeping with Minneapolis and ChIraq rioter prosecutions, he needs to be let go.
Im happy to hear that Rittenhouse is getting some serious legal backing. Hes going to need it.
As I have noted elsewhere, I see Rittenhouse as a patsy as much as anything else. His so-called friends took him to Kenosha. And then they put him in a situation that no untrained 17-year-old should have been in.
One would think the US Attorney is looking at this and considering a Full Blown Investigation into the Deprivation of rights of this Kid that was defending himself.
How Morally depraved you must be to come to any conclusion other than self defense, unbelievable
Another rogue DA?
Looks like he’s getting the Mueller treatment.
Seems like the rioters know just where to go doesn’t it?
Governor > Mayor > DA - all leftists
I bet they’re all communicating with each other or some central figure(s). Seems like the DOJ ought to look into something like that

The whole thing is nuts. There is no way an untrained 17-year-old kid should be in some other state guarding a business against a mob.
Rittenhouses friends evidently said Hey, Kyle. Grab your rifle. Were going to Kenosha and face off against a mob.
Well, Rittenhouses friends are all home tonight. But Rittenhouse is in jail. And I suspect he will be there for many years. Rittenhouse was played. He is just a patsy. And that will cost him many years of his life.
Why is a 17y/o kid running around a riot scene with a loaded AR 15?
Whose gun is it? Who allowed him to carry it!
Did he cross state lines with it after the shootings?
I have lots of questions.
The Soros judge will rule the videos inadmissable.
Meanwhile they let the rioters and looters murderers and rapist free
Most states (30) allow possession of a long arm with no age limitations. There probably are safety classes that are required though.
If Kyle had taken a hunter safety class he was legal. And hunters cross state lines all the time. He might get tripped up on some sort of “conspiracy to commit crimes” but I doubt it. They would have to show intent that he went there to commit crimes.
The day prior he is photographed cleaning graffiti off a wall in Kenosha. It sounds more like a group that said “We need help in protecting the small shops.”
That happened awhile ago in a small town near mine. A bunch of armed folks found out on Facebook about the protest and stood around outside the shops while the protestors marched down the street.
Which one? Up there they are all corrupt.
President Trump won that county.
Thx, I am not privy to all the regs on open carry laws for WI and IL
But he is considered a minor in both States, correct?
I thought parental permission was required for any minor to handle any weapon even for hunting purposes.
I would imagine IL would be much stricter, making it illegal for any minor to posses a firearm.
The trained guys were hiding in their MRAPs. Of course they bravely tossed out some water.
Thanks. I will bet that he has firearm certs and training as he was preparing himself to be LEO.
These prosecutors need to be doxxed. They are scum no better than Hitlers hanging judge Or Stalins show trials. The sleeping giant is watching your every move.
There's more to life than just defending your friends and your family.
For example there's your local area and country...
Doesn't seem to hard to understand.
Wouldn't you agree?
