Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, was arrested on Wednesday in his hometown of Antioch, Illinois and charged with first degree intentional homicide following the shooting death of two protesters
The complaint says the teenager 'fled the state of Wisconsin with the intent to avoid prosecution'
Dramatic video captured the moment one victim was shot in the head and another was shot in the chest shortly before midnight on Tuesday. A third man was shot in the arm but he survived
The arrest of the teen came hours after video emerged of him walking up to police with his hands in the air and his rifle slung across his body just moments after the shooting
He was apparently allowed to walk by despite members of the crowd yelling for him to be arrested because he had shot people, according to witness accounts and video footage
Footage from earlier in the night appeared to show the teen guarding a local car shop with a group of armed militia members
Another video showed police thanking an armed group, of which the teenager appeared to be part of, and offered them water
Much of Rittenhouse's Facebook is devoted to praising law enforcement, with references to Blue Lives Matter
News of his arrest came as President Trump said Wisconsin officials had accepted federal law enforcement support following several days of unrest across the city in the wake of Jacob Blake's shooting

Media again blowing smoke that Rittenhouse was struck with a skateboard by a ghettopotamus before defending himself.
Tired of the media. There are numerous videos circulating Twitter start to finish that he used his weapon in self-defense. This court case and charges will be tossed out.
This is it. This is the big one. This is what the media and the Demonrats have been waiting for. They now have PHOTOS of a white man shooting into a back mob. They WILL push to disarm us now. This is likely the trigger for a hot civil war.
“Rifle-toting”. I’m sure that’s not meant in a negative connotation...
LOL!
The article is very biased and hides the fact he was attacked.
I don’t think he was shooting into a ‘b(l)ack’ mob, he shot specific individuals who all appear to be white.
He shot 3 people who were attacking him with weapons who happened to be white. He did not shoot an unarmed black man who kicked him in the head that says everything one needs to know. He showed great restraint in only engaging the threats who were armed AND actively attacking him.
It’s what the Democrats want. No armed Americans.
That way their shock troops can burn, loot, murder, rob, rape, terrorize, extort.
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
Brought to you by the Democrats.

this video takes you through all the video of everything that happened. No way in hell is he convicted, and shouldn’t even have been charged.
Once again: Some attorney can make a lot of money IF they will gather up ALL these videos NOW and file a slander suit against the news media as in Nicholas Sandmann. This is a 17yr old kid they are slandering right now -— even with the prosecutor over-charging self-defense as murder.
It’s what the Democrats want. No armed LAW-ABIDING Americans.
Fixed it.
based on what i see in the article, at least one of the murder charges will be dropped. If he was being chased, knocked to the ground, and shot the people doing that to him, he was justified due to being afraid for his life. The skateboard is enough to kill a person if you hit the trucks against their head. The head shot victim may be another story. Not enough info to judge that one.
How’s the saying go? Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6?
Doubt they can convict a minor defending himself while being attacked by unknown assailants.Might get a plea agreement on weapon charges. BTW wonder how drugged up those rioters were to attack a person armd with an automatic weapon? Bad choice.
So they were protesters, I keep hearing that word I don’t think they know what it means anymore, they think they can just say anything.
No mention that the first person shot was chasing Rittenhouse and throwing objects at him.
There was only one group who were assaulting innocent people, rioting, looting and committing arson.
All while the Democrats are free to burn, loot, murder.
Better article.
The kid was defending Himself from being beatern in the head with a skateboard.
