Kyle Rittenhouse re-emerged on social media Wednesday to announce he had gotten married and to share a photo of his bride holding an AR-style rifle.

His bride’s name is Bell:

Rittenhouse came into the national eye on August 25, 2020, after using an AR-15 rifle to defend himself while under assault in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He subsequently faced two charges of murder, one charge of attempted murder, and two charges of reckless endangerment relating to the melee during Black Lives Matter riots in Kenosha.

On November 19, 2021, Breitbart News noted that Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges.

On Wednesday, hours after posting photos of himself and his bride, Rittenhouse used an X post to say:

I support the Second Amendment because without it, I might not be here today. In 2020, when I was 17, I was put in a situation where violent criminals attacked me, struck me in the head multiple times, and one even pointed a gun at my face. I’m no hero. I had no choice but to defend my own life in that moment. I’m not in prison — and I’m alive — because the Founders recognized our God-given right to self-defense, and the jury recognized that simple fact.

Amen, Kyle!

Sorry you had to go through that unjust persecution facing charges that should never have been brought.

They’re both practicing good weapons-handling.

I hope she practices good gun-handling later ...

I could watch him shooting that son of a bitch all day and not get tired. in fact I watched him over and over. Until I could not laugh any more each time his arm blew up.

> I hope she practices good gun-handling later ...

This is my rifle, this is my gun....

[digger48]

She’ll regret that in 30 years

Good for Kyle. He’s learning to live his life while staying out of the news cycle! Has our friend George Zimmerman found somebody yet? Hope he does, if that is one of his goals.

He has the honor of being the only one Bondi went after.

Well said.

My thought exactly

They will look like an old wrinkled dollar bill.

[Albion Wilde]

Mazel tov!

[dfwgator]

Now that’s what I call, a “shotgun wedding”.

That woman (Bondi) has her priorities screwed up. She should not hold her current iffice.

You won’t get any argument from me. It is the members of Free Republic .com that are enamored by her.
