In a nauseatingly melodramatic performance he choked back snot as he appeared to sob about how he feared for his life the day he shot and killed two people at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Defense attorney Mark Richards tried to paint Rittenhouse as a misunderstood honorable, patriotic Boy Scout who simply liked to shoot guns.
Rittenhouse is anything but.
In a dramatic turn, Prosecutor Thomas Binger was scolded by Judge Bruce Schroeder after trying to impeach Rittenhouse's contradictory testimony about what led to the events on the day of the killings.
Regardless of how Rittenhouse tries to twist his story – or twist his sad face into tears – his innocent kid act shouldn't fool anyone. The facts speak for themselves.
On Aug. 25, 2020, Rittenhouse drove from his home state of Illinois to a Black Lives Matter protest in Wisconsin. Hundreds of people had taken to the streets to protest the police shooting of a 29-year old Black man, Jacob Blake, who was paralyzed from the waist down. Rittenhouse, then 17, fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27.
This case has caught the world's attention, and rightfully so. The fact that Rittenhouse shot and killed two people and lived to see trial is a testament to the racial violence and inequality that people in Kenosha were protesting the day this emboldened vigilante decided to come and play with real people's lives.
Rittenhouse faces homicide and reckless endangerment charges and has pleaded not guilty, saying he acted in self defense. He could get life in prison if convicted, and that's what he deserves. His crocodile tears are fooling no one.

Liberals are disgusting.
“On Aug. 25, 2020, Rittenhouse drove from his home state of Illinois to a Black Lives Matter protest in Wisconsin.”
Like he also did daily to his job as a lifeguard in Kenosha...from just across the state line.
What he deserves is an apology, a parade, a case of ammo, a custom made, high grade AR-15 and a generous settlement for malicious prosecution.

I wonder how many speeding tickets she’s cried her way out of.

Disgusting partisan hack.
Kyle was crying because he recalled being surrounded and attacked by a mob of people who were full of hate and wanted to do him harm. Extremely emotional situation, being attacked by an angry mob.
Click bait. Trying to generate views and posts. Not worth the time to respond.
Yahoo News is just as biased as MSNBC and CNN.

Funny how these people don’t mention that Antioch is about 20 minutes from Kenosha, his dad lived in Kenosha, he worked in Kenosha and it’s closer to go from Antioch to Kenosha than it is from Kenosha to Milwaukee where the three agreesors were from.
If ever their was a justification for the repeal of the 14th amendment...
I don’t know how you would fake the emotions I saw on Rittenhouse, those were primal.
She is either a terrible attorney or a liar.
She should be asked how she explains a guy shooting at Rittenhouse’s back while he is running away.
Even if, and to my knowledge no one has accused him, he started a fight with the shooter, the law takes the position that the minute Rittenhouse turned and ran the fight is over and you can not shoot.
Cops have leeway in similar situations when they know the person fleeing is a severe danger to the public, but the civilian must not shoot a fleeing person.
Carli is projecting.
So when liberals just hear The word trump they going spasms and head to their therapist in pajamas. A 17 year old goes through a riot and killing and it this lady says it’s a put up job. I wonder if she is going to defend Mr Baldwin and have him cry in court to to save his skin for negligent homicide?
