The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is over. He’s been found not guilty of all charges. He’s a free man. He’s a patriot. He’s a hero. And if you believe in the rule of law and the right to self-defense, this is a win. The national nightmare for this young man is over. He was the subject of political persecution, being charged for shooting two men and wounding another during the 2020 Kenosha riots. Two men, Joe Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were trying to kill him. he shot them in self-defense. The video evidence clearly shows that. Gaige Grosskreutz, who survived, admitted to being shot once he approached Rittenhouse armed with a handgun. What’s worse are the lies that have emanated from this incident. They are many and outrageous. Miranda Devine on The New York Post picked the top ten. Once you read them, you can figure out why the Left’s reaction was…interesting. And by that, I mean totally based on fake news (via NY Post):
The central media narrative is that Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist whose mother drove him across state lines with an AR-15 to shoot Black Lives Matter protesters. All lies.
“A white, Trump-supporting, MAGA-loving Blue Lives Matter social media partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another with the intent to shoot people,” was typical from John Heilemann, MSNBC’s national affairs analyst.
So, let’s go through 10 lies about Rittenhouse, debunked in court:
1. He killed two black BLM protesters. All three of the men he shot in self-defense during violent riots in Kenosha on Aug. 25 last year were white.
2. He crossed state lines. He lived 20 miles from Kenosha in Antioch, Ill., with his mother and sisters. But his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousins and best friend live in Kenosha. He had a job as a lifeguard in Kenosha and worked a shift on Aug. 25 before helping clean graffiti left by rioters at a local school. There, he and his friend were invited to join other adults who had been asked by the owners of a used car lot in Kenosha to guard the property after 100 cars had been torched the previous night, when police abandoned the town to rioters. Kyle took his gun to protect himself, since the rioters were violent and armed, including, for instance, Antifa medic Gaige Grosskreutz, who lunged at him with a loaded Glock pointed at his head before he was shot in the arm.
3. Rittenhouse took an AR-15 across state lines. Esquire accused him of “terrorist tourism.” False. His rifle was kept in a safe at his best friend’s stepfather’s house in Kenosha.
4. The gun was illegal. Wrong. Under Wisconsin law, he was entitled to possess the AR-15 as a 17-year-old. The judge dismissed the gun charge, which the prosecution never should have brought.
There are six more lies Devine points out, one of which involves the lies about Rittenhouse wearing medical gloves to cover his fingerprints. Uh, he was administering first aid—also his face is visible. The first is the biggest lie that seems to have eaten away at the Left’s mind like cancer. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, delivered a scathing statement about the verdict that was a straight lie. First, the Kenosha protests were sparked by the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake, who is still alive. Maloney said he was killed. It also was neck-deep in the insinuation that this was a racially motivated shooting, or at the very least that the victims were black. Rosenbaum and Huber are white dudes. And this was not a BLM protest. It was a riot.
The media and their allies appear to be really upset about the black rioters that Kyle Rittenhouse never shot.
One things for sure. Kyle eliminated a couple of scumbags from the planet Earth.
The same thing they did to Kyle Rittenhouse, they did to Trump.
Half the country believes the lie that Trump is a racist and that there was Russian collusion.
All lies. All the time.
Now that he’s acquitted can the thugs or their families sue Rittenhouse for damages in a civil case or is that finished? I just don’t want to see the money he gets from the defamation settlements from the media taken away.
They also did the same to George Zimmerman and Nick Sandermann. The media in this country are utter scum
aAbout an hour after the verdict CNN did a 180
here they claim “new” facts came out
these were known before the trial
even the drone video was on Tucker just after the shootings
Lawyers must of told them to CYA
CNN changing their tune and speaking facts about Kyle Rittenhouse

The guilty need to be punished.
The Left lies … especially to manipulate their weak minded supporters … just expect it.
“There, he and his friend were invited to join other adults who had been asked by the owners of a used car lot in Kenosha to guard the property after 100 cars had been torched the previous night, when police abandoned the town to rioters”
Why is a 17 year old asked to do this? Why are adults putting a juvenile in a dangerous situation?
Last night after 10:00pm fool leftist protesters were kneeling on the Brooklyn Bridge “remembering and honoring “ the people Rittenhouse killed. While these idiots were honoring a vile child molester Rosenbaum, the boys this monster raped and their families were getting a good nights sleep. They could finally rest peacefully because after Rittenhouse did what he had to do and killed Rosenbaum, they knew the lowlife criminal could never return to harm them again. They had, in the vernacular of the times, closure.
This explains why Kyle had the AR-15. He had been standing guard duty with others over a car lot that had been torched before, then he took the weapon with him through the violent riots.
He was carrying after guard duty through an area of extreme violence.
Why would he go through such an area?
Because he could not know ahead of time where the street criminals would appear.
Makes perfect sense.
Great article
That’s interesting. Of course, it’s CYA.
How low do you have to be as an adult trying to destroy an 18 yr old’s life?

Poor townhall, as usual, wrong about everything.
What the Left wants is to riot and destroy, and what the State wants is to let them do it when it serves their interests (getting rid of Trump, for example).
Most white people are cowards, and this tactic has worked very well for both the Left and the State.
Imagine ten Kyles. Imagine 100. Everything would change.
True, lawsuits are coming.
They now need to start picking off the rioters and prosecuting them like they are doing to the Jan 6 protesters.
All that stuff that CNN says we learned from the trial was known to everyone, including the prosecutor a year ago! And CNN calls themselves a news network?
