On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse answered the call from a former Kenosha city councilman for armed men to protect businesses that had been targeted by Antifa and BLM rioters the two previous nights. Monday, Rittenhouse goes on trial in Kenosha for killing two attackers and wounding a third that night. Rittenhouse claims self-defense. In fact, Rittenhouse has an excellent case for self-defense, but many in the media don’t want you to know that. They, along with prosecutors, have tried hard for the past year to dirty him up.
Let’s briefly take a look at the case.
Violent rioting had been underway three nights before after police shot Jacob Blake multiple times as he tried to elude police after his partner reported him for breaking a domestic violence restraining order. He was already wanted on a warrant. Blake was accused of sexual assault. As he tried to escape the officers ordering him to freeze, Blake ran to his car, where he kept a knife, and was shot seven times. His kids were in the back seat. He later admitted that running away was a mistake.
On day three of the riots, video of the baby-faced 17-year-old Rittenhouse shows him explaining why he came to an independent reporter shooting video that night.
Rittenhouse, a lifeguard who hoped one day to become a cop or a nurse, wore purple surgical gloves and held his medkit during the interview. The strap of his Smith and Wesson M&P rifle was slung across his body. He told the reporter that he was there to help “people getting injured.” He went on to say, “Our job’s to protect this business … and if there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way.”

Defending himself while white = murder charges.
This is nothing more than malicious prosecution of a person who defended himself against three attackers. In a sane world charges would never have been filed, except against the one guy who lived, for attempted murder with a firearm.
They are trying to dirty him up in the hopes that blm and a Tifa will do,what they did to,jurors in the Chauvin trial- make them so afraid to vote innocent that they falesly convict him because they fear blm.
It isn’t looking good for Kyle’s defense.

Mere hours before jury selection began in the self-defense trial of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a key defense attorney who put together a “dream team” of jury selection experts announced he was off the case. Robert Barnes says the change in the defense team means someone is “deliberately sabotaging Kyle’s defense.”
Self-defence therefore as it is justly called the primary law of nature, for it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away be the law of society. In the English law particularly it is held an excuse for breaches of the peace, nay even for homicide

Well Wendy Rittenhouse needs to fix that. She’s the one paying the lawyers now that Lin Wood and his #fightback campaign is out of the picture.

I think Rittenhouse has an excellent chance of winning his case in Wisconsin, what I can’t understand is what is a 17 year old from Illinois with no FOID card doing going to another state with a firearm.
Where did he get it from, was it his dad’s, or an older brother’s? How did he come into possession of it, did he take it without permission?
Those are questions that matter here in Illinois. Wether or not he gets off in Wisconsin, I feel the State of Illinois might go after him on those issues.
I may have missed something, but after all this time I haven’t seen these questions answered in any media. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
None of the items you mention occurred in IL. So no crime occurred. Illinois can pound sand.
Well, not much we can do about it, here in the peoples republic of Illinois. This is the de facto “registration list” that the state wants. Some years ago, the Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, whose father just so happened to be the head of the general assembly (can you say NEPOTISM?), wanted access to the FOID list of names of gun owners, and the Illinois State Police refused to give it to her. The ISP runs the FOID card and concealed carry programs, but the politicians will get their claws on the lists someday, I have no doubt.
Still doesn’t answer my questions on what the hell he was doing. I don’t doubt he was being patriotic, but I’m sure there were plenty of Wisconsin 2A supporters present in Kenosha on those nights. One rule of Concealed Carry we are taught is, at the first sign of trouble, if at all possible, get the hell outta there. The gun is the LAST resort. If I can leave the area safely without having a confrontation, so much the better.
My personal opinion is, the kid shouldn’t have gone looking for trouble.
You may think differently….
The Kenosha Trifecta… 🏴☠️
I believe the MSR was loaned to him by a Kenosha acquaintance that owned it legally.
Mr Rittenhouse should have a lawsuit against those who caused him the trauma of having to defend himself in the deadly effort to kill him!
Ok, I hadn’t heard that.Thanks for updating me.
So defending property from looters and rioters is "looking for trouble"?
