Pierce added later on Twitter. Mr. Rittenhouse, 17, has been charged as an adult by Wisconsin prosecutors with...

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- The video shows a timeline of the shootings during the Kenosha riots on 25 August 2020. In the video, there are two shooting sequences.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old kid who shot three rioters Tuesday night in Kenosha, Wisconsin, killing two of them, is an American hero.

Unfortunately for the Left and their propaganda machine,...
