Teen charged in Kenosha killings stalls return to Wisconsin (delayed so he can hire a lawyer)

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) —The judge in Waukegan, Illinois, postponed Kyle Rittenhouse's extradition hearing to Sept. 25 during a brief video conference that was streamed online. Rittenhouse asked for the delay in order to have time to hire a private attorney. He faces five felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide, and a misdemeanor charge for possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.

Rittenhouse, a white teen who was armed with a semi-automatic rifle as he walked Kenosha's streets with other armed civilians during this week's protests, would face a mandatory life sentence if convicted of first-degree intentional homicide. Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system. (clip) Another Rittenhouse attorney, Lin Wood, said Thursday that the teenager was acting in self-defense.

From my standpoint, it’s important that the message be clear to other Americans who are attacked that there will be legal resources available in the event false charges are brought against them,” he said. “Americans should never be deterred from exercising their right of self-defense.”

Update #1: Contacting the Rittenhouse Family August 28, 2020, 9:05 pm facebook twitter

Hello all,

Allow me to begin by thanking you all so much for your generous contributions to helping secure Kyle's freedom! We live in dark times, but the generosity and positivity that all of you have shown is the "light of the world" needed to drive out the darkness. Through your kindness, you are making an incredible difference in this young man's life.

I have just spoken with Kyle's mother, Wendy, and Kyle's attorney, John, to whom I was connected by Lin Wood (Chris Sandmann's attorney), who has also joined the legal team. Wendy has instructed me to transfer the money from GiveSendGo's holding account to the #FightBack Foundation, set up by Lin Wood. All of the money donated through both their website, and this effort, will go to Kyle's defense, as it is likely to be an expensive and protracted affair.

Kyle is reportedly in good spirits, and I'm told that the incredible support shown by you good people is what's keeping him going.

We have all seen the hatred that has threatened our country in recent months, and in Kyle we have seen the courage against chaos that we all desire to see within our own hearts. This young man has reinvigorated the faith of many that this country and its founding principles are indeed founded upon the rock, not built upon the sand.

However, a city upon a hill cannot be hid; Kyle now faces the wrath of those who would see us stripped of our God-given rights and reduced to servitude. He is in dire need of our help. Kyle will likely need significant amounts of cash to post bail; for this reason, this fundraiser will be ongoing. His success is our success; his failure, the loss of our right to self-defense. I firmly believe that with the continued support of all of you fine people, Kyle will be freed.

God bless America, God bless you, and #FreeKyle ~Rob

He shot “the one armed man “ before he was known as “the one armed man”.

>>They should be honoring him for doing the job the police are not allowed to do!!!!<<

Te waste management union gets upset if a non-union member takes the garbage out. It is all nepotism.

[Ben Hecks]

I see what you did there....

I just donated to this Fight back fund Lin Wood is AWSOME and I am sure he found this young man an EXCEPTIONAL criminal attorney!!

[CJ Wolf]

“misdemeanor charge for possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor.”

Since they are charging him as an adult, this shouldn’t apply right? They declared him an adult, can they charge him as a minor?

[a fool in paradise]

Any charges against his attackers?

Me too. More than I have ever donated to a public cause before.

One question though...If it's this easy to set up a donation site, how come our side still tries to set up accounts with faggot leftards like GoGundMe, Fundly, etc.?

[Valpal1]

Lin Wood is his civil attorney (for suing and getting sued) but has also put together a criminal defense team.

But they have to have time to travel up there and sign the formal paperwork required, etc.

[Covenantor]

thought Lynn Wood was representing him?

Lin Wood made the public overture to aid in the defense, seeking a family friend to relay the msg. Remember Nick Sandman still has big cases against other media outfits. Maybe the schedules conflict. And Kyle needs immediate high powered lawyers to block for and protect his interests.

If Lefty the medic had a handgun, how many more are armed?

[Beagle8U]

I’ll bet most of the Antifa types are armed.

[Gator113]

I agree 100%.

[JohnnyP]

“armed with a semi-automatic rifle as he walked Kenosha’s streets”

No, he was chased down like a dog.

[sport]

Probably all of their Cadre[Leaders]. Why didn’t they shoot more is the question?It would have been blamed on the Armed Citizens.

[sergeantdave]

“a conviction would send a chilling message to those of us forced to defend ourselves.”

a conviction would send a chilling message to move away from leftist rat cities so we can defend ourselves.

Fixed it for ya.

[Chode]

thx...

[diatomite]

You left out Mr. Baca in Albuquerque and his self defense shooting when attacked by statue destroyers.

[sergeantdave]

“I’ll bet most of the Antifa types are armed.”

I’d further bet that most of the Antifa fascists have criminal records. I’d bet more that these criminal fascists were recently released from state prisons by democrat governors.

And for relevant background, Hitler’s street-brawling SA was heavily populated by criminals.
