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.

one count of first-degree reckless homicide,
one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and
two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment
Pretty quick with all those charges
Any fair jury that views the video would have to see it was self defense.
That there are NO national news items about “active shooters” when the Leftists are popping off shots and shooting people at these “mostly peaceful” riots says all you need to hear about the gun coverage in the MSM.

There is going to be a single, unified platform to help Kyle Rittenhouse #FightBack & provide support for his family. I warned yesterday about other unverified efforts. Only one. This one. Spread the word==>

Same attorney as Nick Sandmann but he’s rounding up a team that will include Kenosha criminal attorney(s)
It’s a wonder they don’t give him to the Rioters and let them have a Trial , it is a Revolution so says Angela Davis.
“one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide “
Is this for shooting the guy that was pointing a pistol at hishead?

Now comes the really sick part. Rittenhouse will probably be offered some sort of deal, maybe 10 years for negligent homicide.
Then what to do? Go to trial and risk a mandatory life sentence? I hope his lawyers really have a feel for how Wisconsin juries look at things.
Any fair jury that views the video would have to see it was self defense.
The charges will be dropped or dismissed long before a trial.
Wow so they viewed all the evidence and interviewed all the witnesses and saw the video’s. THE GOVERNMENT IS ON THE SIDE OF CON IVITED SEX OFFENDERS OUT IN THE STREETS ATTACKKNG INNOCENT CITIZENS AND TEARING UP THE CITY.
“””Is this for shooting the guy that was pointing a pistol at hishead?”””
He was PEACEFULLY pointing a gun at his head.
Lin Wood has assembled a team and reached out to the family. You take it how you want.
Don’t bring a skateboard to a gun fight. Three counts of Self-Defense.

Im a betting man. And unless Rittenhouse takes a plea, Ill bet this case goes to a jury. Because Rittenhouses trial would be a political trial as much as a criminal trial.
And Leftists just love their political (show) trials.
Had the shooting occurred in Trump country, Id think differently.
Did they charge lefty with attempted murder?
These charges are completely inappropriate. If you are a prosecutor on this case, you have a moral duty to resign your post and refuse to prosecute. If you are a judge, you have a moral duty to dismiss the case. If you are a juror, you have a moral duty to acquit. This is not a ‘marginal’ case where reasonable people might disagree - this is clear-cut self-defense.
First-degree murder is an outrageous accusation here.
If he had simply set a building on fire that had people trapped inside, he would have already been released
Negative. It would have to be cops inside
