From the moment Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people on the streets of Kenosha during protests over the police shooting of a Black man, he's personified America's polarization.
The 17-year-old from Illinois who carried an AR-style rifle and idolized police was cheered by those who despised the Black Lives Matter movement and the sometimes destructive protests that followed George Floyd's death. He was championed by pro-gun conservatives who said he was exercising his Second Amendment rights and defending cities from "antifa," an umbrella term for leftist militants.
Others saw him as the most worrisome example yet of vigilante citizens taking to the streets with guns, often with the tacit support of police — a "chaos tourist," in the words of the lead prosecutor, who came to Kenosha looking for trouble.
Though Rittenhouse and all three men he shot are white, many people saw racism at the heart of Kenosha — an armed white teen, welcomed by police to a city where activists were rallying against a white officer's shooting of a Black man, and allowed to walk past a police line immediately after shooting three people.

Sigh. Third grade logic from another marshmallow who really should stick to “do you want to supersize that?”.
"From the moment Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people on the streets of Kenosha ......"
Cranking this statement through the
There, fixed it.
He said extremists will be looking to turn the trial to advantage. Some view the mere fact that Rittenhouse was charged as evidence that courts and the system are stacked against conservatives, or that the system is biased against white people, Friedfeld said.
"It starts to kind of lay the groundwork for the idea that people need to tear down these institutions and the system is broken and needs to be changed, which requires action," he said.
Dude, do you not understand BLM and Antifa? They are tearing down the institutions and system! Guess it’s the institution and system you hate, so BLM and Antifa get a pass.....
It’s simple…. Half the nation thinks the criminals are the victims…. The fact the judge already ruled the “victims” cannot be called victims in the case is telling but half the nation will just pass judgement without admitting the truth.
I seen the video many times. I see a guy running down the street with a rifle. He is being chased by people and I hear gunshots fired before he is hit and forced to the ground. Then, on the ground and defenseless with a gun pointed at him, he uses his Rifle to defend himself. That’s what I saw. He had no other choice at that point, and he wasn’t the aggressor.
The Democrats stirred up race trouble with the overdose of Floyd in police custody to install a meat puppet as POTUS. The division isn’t about this person defending themselves, only that he was forced to do so by democrats. Like Biden, his family, Hillary, Podesta, their agenda is above thr law.
Given the facts, all the attacks were recorded, with eye-witnesses as well, and the facts are indisputably in favor of self defense, who could come to that conclusion??? /s
From the moment Kyle Rittenhouse shot, in self-defense, three people from a murderous mob that had chased him down...
Corrected and didn't read any further than that.
Typical leftist propaganda hit piece.
The same people who applaud a Supreme Court decision they agree with and viciously condemn a Supreme Court decision they disagree with would be that group.
Kyle is a hero and example of bravery.
I read the charges and this one jumped out at me:
Count 3. First degree intentional homicide (Huber). One of the men who attacked Kyle was Anthony M. Huber. While Kyle was struggling to get up from where he had fallen, Huber struck at Kyle’s head and neck with a heavy skateboard. Kyle shot Huber, with fatal results. This would result in the first degree intentional homicide charge against Kyle, Count 3 of the criminal complaint, under § 940.01(1)(a).
How in any know universe is that 1st degree intentional???
This is just simple crowd-riling stuff the left puts out every day. There will be no conviction.
He was a “chaos tourist” ?
How many of his three attackers lived in Kenosha?
