'I'm going to jail for the rest of my life': What Kyle Rittenhouse told the friend who supplied rifle used in the Kenosha protest shooting
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | 11/20/2020 | Ashley Luthern

Soon after he shot three people, a panicked 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse told a friend he expected to go to jail for life, but that if he had not fired, he would "probably be dead."

The account comes from a newly released video of a Kenosha detective questioning Dominick Black, the 19-year-old charged with buying Rittenhouse the rifle he used to kill two people and injure a third.

“The dude’s sweating like a pig. He’s just freaking out. His face is white,” Black said of Rittenhouse.

“He’s like, ‘I’m going to jail for the rest of my life. I’m done.’ He’s just scared. I'm just trying to calm him down."

Rittenhouse was charged with two counts of homicide and faces four other charges in connection with the Aug. 25 Kenosha protest shootings that killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 26.

He was released Friday afternoon from the Kenosha County Jail after his attorney posted the $2 million bail. His legal team has said he acted in self-defense.

Black faces charges of intentionally providing a dangerous weapon to a minor, resulting in death. He was bound over for trial earlier this week.

Black and Rittenhouse told police they had were in Kenosha to protect a car lot during the unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Both were armed.

Detective Ben Antaramian questioned Black for about an hour the morning of Aug. 26 at the police station in Antioch, Illinois, where Rittenhouse had turned himself in.

The video adds more detail to documents released last month by Antioch police that described Black's initial account to police there after the shooting. Rittenhouse's sister also was questioned that night. A video of Rittenhouse's interview has not yet been released.

Poor little guy. Everyone forgets he’s only 17. If I had been in his situation when I was 17 I would have fallen apart. He needs support and affirmation that he did the right thing and that everything will work out. And then we need to pray for his comfort and acquittal.

Nope,not true...do your homework.The President of the United States cannot pardon those being prosecuted by states,counties or municipalities.Only those being prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice.

I don’t think there’s a jury in America that would convict Kyle - once the evidence is presented in a trial.

It all depends on the venue.

Do you need a conviction first?

Nixon had not been convicted, nor even charged, when Ford pardoned him.

I think we should stop talking about the story

it’s now in court

he’ll get his day in court

he’ll probably win Self Defense. There’s film of the events. Been seen billions of times

Let’s at least let the court case begin and then we can talk about itand then we can talk about it

Right ? There it is

Leftists try and deny facts. Film doesn’t lie

If there was just eyewitness accounts of this event it could be very different for this young man

who decided to take a weapon to help defend his neighbors property from looters

I don’t think we’re going to see too many riots anymore

They’re very easy to suppress. The military is extremely powerful

So we can let the kids have a little fun and in these really liberal areas they’ll be able to smash stores and steal a bunch of stuff- who cares?

I guess if you are in that store you would care

but other than that it just speaks to the local politicians if they’re going to allow that kind of behavior. De blah blah commie oh. Comes to mind

Helloooooo. New York City 🌃!!! Are u nuts 🥜? And Cuomo ???

“ shut it down ! Shut it all down !! “.

At the drop of a hat

Forever

Really?

I don’t think so

In a state case a pardon rests with the governor.

“Problem with that is that Trump will no longer be President on January 20, 2021.”


Don’t come here to fight for them with a defeatist mindset.

Ayee, true, I know the democrats are too many.

However, Donald J.Trump IS William Wallace!

Did you not know he shoots FIREBALLS from his ass at the fake news?

Right now, He sees a whole army of his countrymen HERE in defiance of tyranny,

We are not here to listen to those who say “there is nothing we can do about it”.

We are here to fight as free men, and free men we are!

Will you fight?

Against THAT? ANTIFA, BLM, Nancy,Kamala, The Squad and Maxine?

No way!

Aye, OK,run from them and you will live.

At least a while. You know your name is on their list don’t you?

However, when dying in your beds many years from now.

Would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance,

just one chance to come back here and tell the democrats that they may take our lives but they will NEVER take our FREEDOM!

Can Trump Pardon him?

A hundred patriots with sledgehammers showing up at the prison gates can pardon him.

This is where we need to be.

This video is age restricted and I’m not signing up to Google to view.

There is a two-letter code that I have forgotten that can be inserted into a a restricted YouTube video to view. Can someone provide it here?

Never mind. It’s a four-letter code NSFW and it doesn’t work for this video.
Will try searching on Bitchute.
