Kyle Rittenhouse is a political prisoner. Just before midnight on 25 August 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people who attacked him in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in self-defense. Rittenhouse was legally there performing voluntary actions to minimize the damage done by rioters. He was fleeing a mob pursuing him when he was forced to defend himself, shooting three of numerous pursuers at two separate locations. All three of the people shot got within the contact range of Rittenhouse. Two were attempting to disarm him, the third had a semi-automatic pistol in his hand. The first attacker had been aggressive earlier and had challenged a black man to shoot him, saying shoot me n*gga!” more than once. The first attacker was a felon and sex offender who chased Rittenhouse and tried to take his rifle.
After that defensive shooting, Kyle Rittenhouse fled the mob and attempted to turn himself into police custody. There is audio of his intent to do so as he ran from the mob. One of his attackers asked him what he was doing while the attacker was live streaming and running close to Rittenhouse. Kyle Rittenhouse said, “I am going to the police”. Rittenhouse was repeatedly attacked as he ran in an attempt to reach the police.
Rittenhouse tripped and went down on the street, and was attacked in a coordinated manner by multiple assailants.
The second person shot had hit Rittenhouse on the head, neck, and shoulder with a skateboard, a common Antifa tactic. He was trying to take Rittenhouse's rifle when

Funny how the riots really died down after the leftist morons saw what just ONE kid with a rifle could do to them.
There is a tremendous push to prosecute him to show self defense will *not* be allowed.
From Greta.... How dare you defend yourself.....
He was singled out because he left the protection of the team. When you wander off on your own, you get picked off by the wolf pack.
Once the police are gone, there will be no one to protect antifa and BurnLootMurder from us.
I believe you are correct . This is intended to be a message to all of us who know that we have a god-given right to defend ourselves.
There’s not much to left hates more than our god-given rights.
Expect more of this, not less. And should Trump be removed from the White House it’s going to be 10 times worse.
Kyle allowed himself to be separated from his Group. Big mistake.
Btw the guy from Portland who got his head kicked in still supports BLM. So he said....

As a thought. If he is a political prisoner, why are we not peacefully exercising our 1st amendment right in front of the jail or the district attorney’s house?
I agree with you.
An armed response to rioting, violence, looting, and burning resulted in an end to the violence,
an end both by the mob, and the complicit local government.
You teach an errant child self-discipline by consequence to their action, .. not by capitulation.
When you give them what they want, you only encourage more disruptive behavior.
It's a simple case of punishment, or reward.
Don’t you know it! These fools have no clue that the cops are the only thing standing between them and millions of pizzed off citizens.
The DA in Kenosha is a POS for continuing the push for this.
MAGA supporters should swarm their home.
Why would muslim activists be involved (and heavily, so it seems) in this self defense case?

You need to become informed. Going through life ignorant often makes you look stupid.
To create legal precedent against citizen defending themselves from muslim murderous attacks.
Oh, so I guess I missed the rest of his “squad” supporting him on his run down the street. I know he got separated. When you’re alone—whether it be 100 yards, or 100 feet...you become exposed.
Or, were you taught to wander around on a live battlefield like a deer crossing the interstate.
Where were his squadmates or buddies?
I am not defending the guys he shot...but, I don’t see any support in any of the videos I’ve watched.
“You need to become informed. Going through life ignorant often makes you look stupid. “
What are you talking about?? Vermont is 100% correct. STAY WITH YOUR GROUP!
