Illinois teen Kyle Rittenhouse charged in fatal shooting of two Kenosha protesters
A 17-year-old Illinois man has been charged in the shooting death of two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, late Tuesday, according to a report.
Kyle Rittenhouse has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Molly Beck posted on Twitter Wednesday.
He was part of the group of armed men at the scene. We have been identifying them as a local militia group. Rittenhouse hails from Antioch, Illinois — about 12 miles away across state lines.

Self defense i am thinking?
Weird. Teens up to 19 in the inner cities names are never revealed.
Why this one?
17 year old man...
When it suits the fake legacy media.
Looks like it to me.
I watched the press conference this afternoon with the Kenosha police guy. He said this shooter wanted to be deputized.
What a mess this is. It’s due to terrible leadership. Guy even admitted he did not summon the National Guard correctly.
There’s more to this story.
Also waaaaaay more to that Jacob Blake story.
So, wait. Now a 17-year-old is a man? I thought they were children up until the age of 26?
He’ll walk, just like the police officers will. And deservedly so, this boy is hero in my eyes. He was able to defend himself in a very high stress situation. He’s an American through and through!
17 year old man, ok.
When a lefty goes nuts, the media portrays them as children until 21 years of age.
I’ve seen two pictures of the attackers and they were both crackers. If all the attackers that were shot are crackers that isn’t going to make for good optics for the fakestream media. That will show that this was just a pretext for white anarchists/Biden supporters to go on a rampage designed to intimidate.
Yep, interesting how one 17 year old is a youth and
another is a man...
“A 17-year-old Illinois man”
Funny he’s a man instead of a child, teen, underaged male, etc. No bias here.
Protestors my butt..they were beating him with a skateboard..he defended himself..good shoot!
Did they run with a picture of him when he was 10 or 12 like they did Trayvon Martin?
Wisconsin’s DA is a former Perkins Coie lawyer.
I thought he was a youth.
Indeed. It irritates me no end that Fox News continues to refer to the looting mobs of human filth as “protesters,” trying to give them some degree of cover for what they’re doing.
Trump, as usual, is right - the media IS the enemy, and that includes FNC.
After reading the article, my first impression is that this was self-defense. On the other hand, Rittenhouse wasn’t from Kenosha or even from Wisconsin. He just showed up there with a rifle. I don’t think a jury will look upon that very favorably.
(Yes, I know the radical leftists do the same.)
Whites killing whites is not news worthy.
He's wearing an "Paramedic" cap too, which is odd for someone armed with a handgun. (And in the "after" photo, he has a *different* cap stuffed into his pants leg. Why?)
