Who Is Kyle Rittenhouse?
Kyle Rittenhouse is a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, who shot two men to death and injured the third, In Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. The shootings took place amid the riots, protests, and disturbances that followed the fatal shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse had joined a group of armed men in Kenosha who claimed to be there to defend businesses and was carrying an AR-15-style rifle.
Michael Rittenhouse shot Gaige Grosskreutz, a 26-year-old West Allis man carrying a handgun, once in the right arm, but he lived. Rittenhouse was found not guilty of homicide, reckless endangerment, illegal possession of a firearm, or curfew violations. He was accused of being attacked by a mob and using force necessary to prevent his own death or serious bodily harm. The allegations of unlawful possession and curfew violation were dropped because they lacked legal backing.
Many right-wing politicians and figures applauded the decision, claiming that the shootings were justified. President Joe Biden urged people to respect the jury’s decision, noting that it “will leave many Americans feeling furious”.
