Double murderer gets to fuck around on the streets, just doesn't seem right.
Shortly after pleading not guilty to murder and weapons charges earlier this month, Kyle Rittenhouse showed up at a bar in Mount Pleasant, Wis., clad in a T-shirt that said Free as F---, prosecutors said. Then the 18-year-old allegedly drank three beers, posed for photos with members of Proud Boys and flashed a white power hand sign.
The excursion raised red flags for prosecutors handling the states case against Rittenhouse, who is charged with fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during an August protest following the police shooting of a Black man in Kenosha, Wis.

(25,921 posts)This almost seems to help his defense. There's a crowd of white and black people, and this kid (who the prosecutor is going to argue is there to just kill as many people as possible) doesn't shoot any black people--just white. Why is a white supremacist only shooting white people? Defense attorney steps in and says, "Hey, clearly it's self defense."
Makes me wonder if his attorney might be behind this somewhat.
