Is it known if Kyle Rittenhouse drove himself to Wisconsin?

I've seen a photo of his mother entangled in all sorts of firearms, and it's labeled as being taken the same night as his killing spree, but it didn't say where the photo was taken. Since he is a minor who crossed state lines with what was for him an illegal weapon (due to his age), IF he was driven there by his mother, wouldn't she be up for some charges, too?

He said that KR's mother drove him to Wisconsin and then drove him back to Illinois which could make her an accessory to murder.

...the kid doesn't have a driver license.
Doesn't drive, mom takes him where he needs/wants to go.
Apparently includes going on a liberal hunt!

some sources say he drove himself. Others assume the mother drove him because he did not have a license. (To that I would point out he was willing to illegally carry a rifle, driving w/out a license seems to be a lesser breach of the law IMO)

If it turns out she did drive him, she will likely also face a host of charges.

If you are referring to the grainy black and white picture of the mother, there was a thread about that yesterday. It has been debunked. The photographer confirmed it was taken on a different day, in Madison of a different woman.

Law and Order definitely has a different meaning for the cult of trump*.
