On August 25, 2020, a 17-year-old teenager from Antioch, Illinois traveled a few odd miles across the state border to Kenosha, Wisconsin in the wake of riots and protests sparked by the shooting of Jacob Blake. The unrest in Kenosha was part of the greater wave of the racially fueled movements in 2020, many of which led to looting and destruction of property.
Exercising his 2nd amendment right, 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse joined up with other vigilantes to patrol the streets of Kenosha in order to maintain a semblance of order, and administer medical aid. On the night of the 25th, Rittenhouse was involved in two confrontations that resulted in him firing his gun (a Smith and Wesson AR-style rifle) in self-defense, killing 2 men and wounding another.
An article by the NY Times tracks Rittenhouse’s movements on the day of the unrest.

Here in this clip you can see that Rittenhouse was on the defensive. He was chased, attacked, and jumped on by the mob. He used his gun to protect himself, he did not use his gun to just kill people.
After Rittenhouse was attacked, and the incident had occurred, the 17 year old approached the police with his hands up to explain what had happened.
On the following day, Rittenhouse safely returned back to his home in Antioch. That same day, he turned himself in to the police and was then charged with unlawful possession, two counts of homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment.
Rittenhouse’s trial began earlier this month and was also live streamed. The trial was a complete disaster for the State, as the Prosecutor even pointed the AR-15 at the crowd in the courtroom with his finger wrapped around the trigger.
Quite the summation of the quality of this team of dimwit lawyers.
All things considered Rittenhouse is innocent, he didn’t do anything wrong in this particular case. He did not act illegally, or in any way incriminating on that day in Kenosha.
He went to Kenosha to defend the city from the rioting, and to administer medical aid to injured citizens. A sense of righteous duty and bravado for his country that we rarely see today, especially in the leftist circles.
That is why the Left is so confused that Rittenhouse went to Kenosha with his gun in the first place. He retaliated in self-defense in an act to preserve his own life. He was chased and attacked by the mob despite his attempts to flee and escape further confrontation.
As of November 19, 2021, Rittenhouse is found not guilty on all charges! This is an outstanding victory for America and the American people. I commend the jury, and Rittenhouse’s defense council for defending a young American’s right to bear arms and defend his country (internally) and act in self-defense when attacked.
Kyle Rittenhouse was willing to risk his life in order to protect his community. Luckily, he was not punished for having the courage to defend himself.
Kyle sets a shining example for Americans everywhere. When our public services were too afraid to step up, Kyle Rittenhouse stood up. He defended his city, and his life.
