Federal judge says wrongful death lawsuit against Kyle Rittenhouse can proceed A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the father of one of the men Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed in the Kenosha riots will proceed, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled Wednesday. Anthony Huber was one of the two men Rittenhouse killed in August 2020 during the riots following the shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man, by police.

Two civil lawsuits have been filed against Kyle Rittenhouse and others, stemming from Rittenhouse’ self-defense shootings of three men who assaulted him during the Kenosha riots. One of the lawsuits was filed by attorneys for Gaige Grosskruetz, who was wounded after pursuing Kyle Rittenhouse and while pointing his pistol at Kyle. The Grosskruetz lawsuit was filed in 2020. An amendment to the complaint was filed on February 14, 2021, adding Rittenhouse’ name. The other lawsuit was filed by attorneys representing the estate of Anthony Huber, who attacked Rittenhouse with a skateboard after pursuing Rittenhouse while he was on the ground,...

Kyle Rittenhouse, who skyrocketed to fame in right-wing circles after shooting and killing two protesters during a social rights march in 2020, is now facing a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the victim's father, according to PBS. The lawsuit was filed by John Huber, the father of one of the two victims, and also includes city officials and police officers. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman dismissed motions from the city officials, police officers and Rittenhouse to dismiss the civil rights case in its entirety. Huber's lawsuit states that Rittenhouse conspired with police officers to intentionally cause harm to the protesters...

Government officials are calling for calm ahead of the planned nationwide protests over the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage, which will be released tonight, as the Georgia governor activated 1,000 National Guard troops and Capitol Hill amped up security. Many cities, including Memphis and New York City, are gearing up to protest after the gruesome footage, which has been described as worse than Rodney King, on the Memphis Police Department's YouTube page at 7pm. Police are releasing the footage later a night to allow people to get home beforehand. Nichols, 29, was brutally beaten like a 'human piñata' by five Memphis,...

They just can’t quit Kyle Rittenhouse. Forget the guy was arrested, charged, stood trial, and was found innocent by a jury of his peers … no no, since he’s a straight, white, conservative male he will forever be the ‘villain’ to ignorant people who care more about politics than reality and facts. Like Soledad O’Brien. We’re pretty sure she didn’t think this tweet through though. But then again, does she ever? Just take a look at her timeline. *************************************** Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien · Follow For killing people. Yes. Kyle Rittenhouse @ThisIsKyleR People need to start being held accountable. 9:25 PM...

Kyle Rittenhouse wants answers about what the social media companies did during his case but he could not get them. But all that changed when Elon Musk bought Twitter. If you recall during the hysteria, just defending Kyle, who was innocent but convicted by the media before his trial, could get you in hot water with Big Tech. Kyle said: “I think something people who believe we are overreacting about what was found in the Twitter files overlook is that lies break trust and show the character of someone. “We now have every reason to believe there was more lies...

These were the words of the democrat genius Debbie Dingell (D-MI). Those words were not uttered in a void. Many democrats were anxious to virtue signal subsequently to the Paul Pelosi fracas. Honesty was not to be the guiding light. "Meathead" Rob Reiner tried to pin the attack on Donald Trump: “The violent assault on Paul Pelosi and the attempt to murder Speaker Pelosi is directly related to that Lie,” the Oscar-nominated director and actor wrote. As a result, Reiner claimed, “Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6” and “must be indicted and never be allowed to hold...

The man who survived a shooting by Kyle Rittenhouse that left two others dead during a Wisconsin protest in 2020 has filed a secret petition to change his legal name because of what he now says was continued harassment related to the case. Gaige Grosskreutz has called for an investigation by the Milwaukee County Clerk of Circuit Court on how the sealed petition was leaked to a conservative news outlet this week. Grosskreutz, 29, of West Allis, issued a statement after the petition became public. It said he has received death threats in the two years since he was shot...

The man who survived being shot by Kyle Rittenhouse filed a secret petition to change his legal name after his past as a violent career criminal was exposed. Gaige Grosskreutz, 29, has called for an investigation by the Milwaukee County Clerk of Circuit Court on how the sealed petition was leaked to a conservative news outlet this week. Grosskreutz, of West Allis, said he has received death threats in the two years since he was shot in the arm during the protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The August 2020 protests famously left Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum dead at the hands...

We're living in a golden age of awareness about white supremacy. You can't turn on your TV without hearing the phrase applied to the news, whether it's the explanation for Glenn Youngkin's victory in Virginia or Kyle Rittenhouse's actions in Kenosha. But more often than not, white progressives' newfound obsession with opposing white supremacy isn't helping. It's coming at Black people's expense. Reverend Jerry McAfee of New Salem Church in Minneapolis has described white supremacy as a situation where white people are defining your reality and then forcing you to live under that definition. And sadly, that's what we're seeing...

Joshua and Kelly Ziminski were captured many times on video rioting on August 25, 2020 during the Kenosha Riots. Kelly pleaded guilty to Obstructing an Officer and Failure to Comply with Emergency Management Order of Local Government, both misdemeanors. Joshua is currently out on bond for Arson (Felony), Disorderly Conduct / Use of a Dangerous Weapon (Misdemeanor), and Obstructing an officer for his role in the rioting and lighting a trailer on fire. Joshua Ziminski can be seen on video firing a pistol just moments before Rittenhouse would shoot and kill Joseph Rosenbaum in self-defense. Progressive Kenosha District Attorney Michael...

Many people want to know. Where are the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecutors now? Most legal professionals and folks with common sense agree – the prosecutors couldn’t convict Kyle Rittenhouse. They didn’t have a chance. That didn’t stop James Kraus and T. Clair Binger from trying their best. They also broke rules including mentioning Rittenhouse’s post-arrest silence, talking about things barred in pre-trial hearings, and more. Even with the cheating, they lost. We told you about how their first trials after Rittenhouse’s trial were both failures. KCE spoke with multiple jurors who told us they didn’t trust T. Clair Binger. Many predicted...

Joshua Ziminski in court Today, September 14, 2022(Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye)Joshua Ziminski and his wife Kelly Ziminski were in court today and officially charged with multiple felonies. Joshua was charged with felonies Armed burglary, robbery, intimidation of a victim, false imprisonment, ID Theft, and bail-jumping – all felonies as a party to a crime. Kelly was charged with the same felonies, without the bail-jumping charge. She was not out on bail like her husband, but was on extended supervision, which is similar to parole. Kelly will likely have her extended supervision revoked, and go back to prison...

He was being investigated at the time for serious crimes including sexual assault of children and child porn. The Kenosha DA did not charge him with a crime. We told you how Mike Graveley’s office was responsible, in part for Volar’s death by dragging its feet with the investigation after Kenosha Police recommended many felonies and had mountains of evidence against him.

Aug. 23, 2020 is a night Kenosha residents can’t help but remember — but would rather forget. At the hands of vindictive Black Lives Matter groupies and other self-described racial justice activists, the Wisconsin town went up in flames two years ago today. Rogues started fires at government buildings. They set ablaze garbage trucks and torched upwards of 100 vehicles in the car lot owned by an Indian immigrant, smashing the windows of those who escaped the inferno. They vandalized the post office and a high school, and their flames completely consumed a century-old camera shop. That’s only a fraction...

by Joshua Ford | 24NewsA police officer never knows what they may see out on patrol. They could break up a fight. There could be a crazy person yelling at a squirrel. A few months ago, we saw one cop pursuing a drunk Amish guy riding a horse. An officer from the Thrall police department in Texas ran into Kyle Rittenhouse.So, he posted a photo of this celebrity sighting on Facebook, saying "Make those stops, you never know who you might meet. Today it was Kyle Rittenhouse, welcome to Texas."Rittenhouse, of course if well-known for having answered calls online to...

On July 5, 2022, the Kenosha County, Wisconsin, Board of Supervisors voted 14 to 7 to remove the ban on the bearing of arms in most county-owned buildings.

#1 - What you are seeing isn’t what was supposed to happen. The reason he was alone in a dangerous area was he was supposed to be offered up as a sacrificial lamb. This is also why drones were everywhere to capture it on film. This was supposed to be a warning to any others who chose to defend themselves or their property. However, he turned out to be a lot capable than what was thought when they had singled him out. Kyle Rittenhouse

Kenosha County supervisors have voted to oppose new gun restrictions and lift a ban on firearms in county buildings. The vote comes a day after the Highland Park parade shooting that left seven dead and dozens injured in neighboring Illinois and a July Fourth shooting in Kenosha that killed one person and injured four others. Supervisor Terry Rose was one of the board members opposed to loosening restrictions on firearms, citing the poor timing of the vote. “We didn’t expect to have a shooting in Highland Park yesterday or shooting here in Kenosha on the Fourth of July. But it...

Walworth DA: No Charges For Kenosha Rioter Who Intimidated Witness Minutes Before Trial Kevin Mathewson July 6, 2022 - 12:30 PM 5 Joshua Ziminski (Photo by Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye)Police and prosecutors say Joshua Ziminski and his wife Kelly participated in, and filmed, themselves rioting during the Kenosha riots of 2020. Joshua lit a trailer on fire and shot a gun seconds before Kyle Rittenhouse would shoot and kill convicted pedophile Joseph Rosenbaum. In Kenosha, shooting guns near people is almost always charged as serious felonies. Even if Ziminski shot in the air as he says, it can still...
