Teen charged in Kenosha killings stalls return to Wisconsin (delayed so he can hire a lawyer)

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) —The judge in Waukegan, Illinois, postponed Kyle Rittenhouse's extradition hearing to Sept. 25 during a brief video conference that was streamed online. Rittenhouse asked for the delay in order to have time to hire a private attorney. He faces five felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide, and a misdemeanor charge for possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.

Rittenhouse, a white teen who was armed with a semi-automatic rifle as he walked Kenosha's streets with other armed civilians during this week's protests, would face a mandatory life sentence if convicted of first-degree intentional homicide. Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system. (clip) Another Rittenhouse attorney, Lin Wood, said Thursday that the teenager was acting in self-defense.

From my standpoint, it’s important that the message be clear to other Americans who are attacked that there will be legal resources available in the event false charges are brought against them,” he said. “Americans should never be deterred from exercising their right of self-defense.”

He needs a good legal team, a conviction would send a chilling message to those of us forced to defend ourselves.

Especially since BLM and Antifa appear to be free to engage in rioting, assault and battery, even murder, while the police often simply watch it all go down.

“He needs a good legal team”

If justice mattered he wouldn’t have been charged. He needs a thousand armed patriots surrounding the courthouse.

Rittenhouse, a white teen who was armed with a semi-automatic rifle as he walked Kenosha's streets

"semi-automatic", which really means it wasn't automatic. No mention that he was defending himself from all three attackers, one of them armed with a "semi-automatic handgun".

President Trump should just Order a Full Blown Civil Rights investigation into the Prosecutors and DA, then give Rittenhouse the Presidential Medal of Freedom, just to watch them explode!!!

Did anyone at the RNC events (including Trump) mention Kyle in any of the speeches? If not big mistake.

Martha the Clueless Moron on The Five just bashed Kyle defending himself. So sick of these ignorant pundits who don’t know what the Hell is going on. They live in their little cushioned BUBBLES! The average Patriot on the street could do a better and more informative job than most of them!!

Lin Wood, attorney who represented Nick Sandman, is now representing Kyle Rittenhouse from Antioch, Illinois, who went to Kenosha to help business owners defend their business.

https://fightback.law/

Mr. Wood set up a GoFundMe yesterday to raise funds for Kyle and shortly after, it was taken down. So within a couple of hours Mr. Wood set up the Fight Back Foundation. God bless this man!

I’ve had enough, I hope you have too. The Democrats playbook worked so well against our Troops that Obama and his administration used that same playbook against our Police. The abuse of the Police has gone on long enough!

Extraditing him to Wisconsin would be delivering him to a Soros owned DA. Heaven knows what would happen to that kid.

In addition to Lin Wood's fundraiser, this has amassed $120,000 so far:

Mike Gravely is the Kenosha District Attorney, who is targeting Kyle Rittenhouse.
Leave Mike a message here.
https://www.kenoshacounty.org/forms.aspx?fid=73
Here’s mine:
Millions of the shrinking number of SANE Americans who watched as Democrat “leaders” around the country ENCOURAGED by word or inaction the wanton destruction of property and LIVES by ANTIFA and their Marxist fellow travelers were heartened to see Kyle do what the adults failed or refused to do: FIGHT BACK!!
An added bonus is that he took out some folks who SHOULD, THEMSELVES, HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. Had they BEEN IN JAIL, THEY’D PROBABLY STILL BE ALIVE.
Doesn’t THAT make YOU an accessory before the fact?
Though I suspect you’ll have a problem getting 12 HONEST citizens to vote to convict, I also expect you’ll be instructed to make it happen.
We millions WILL BE WATCHING!
