Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse extradited to Wisconsin

Source: CNN

By Brad Parks, Steve Almasy and Nicole Chavez, CNN 6:44 PM ET, Fri October 30, 2020

(CNN)Kyle Rittenhouse, an Illinois teenager accused of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during protests, was extradited to Wisconsin after a judge's ruling on Friday.

Judge Paul Novak of Lake County, Illinois, said in the ruling allowing his extradition that matters filed by Rittenhouse's attorneys such as the safety of their client can be brought up in hearings in Wisconsin.

Rittenhouse is now detained in Kenosha County Jail, said Sgt. David Wright of the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department.

Rittenhouse, 17, is facing charges that he allegedly killed Anthony M. Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz during a protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25.

Wonder why his mom isn't locked up as well? She or dear old dad purchased his 17 year old dick extension device.

Perhaps those charges will come later.
I'm not worried, she will already being paying a buttload of money for attorneys just to keep the little shit out of the pokey.

Then later read it was unclear how the little piece of shit got there.

Also that weapon was already in WI?

BS from hos sophist? Dunno, but others need to be charged.

Certainly whomever that weapon belongs to!

There are groups out there who say no one under the age of 18 should receive a life sentence. I think they’d make an exception for Kyle Rittenhouse, who traveled a very long way to actively hunt and kill black men.

...the local chapter of the Crips and the local chapter of the Bloods will, in a rare show of unity, team up to hunt this little shit down and kill him in the most brutal way they can think of.

I can just see his defense attorney: “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client is getting life either way...but if you put him in prison it’ll be a much longer life than he’d have on the street. And so I beg of you: throw this little shit the fuck in prison so he doesn’t get fucking beheaded in someone’s basement.”

From the Chicago Tribune: “ Shortly after a judge ruled the Antioch 17-year-old should be extradited, Lake County sheriff’s deputies drove him to the border and passed him to deputies from the Kenosha County sheriff’s department, said Sgt. Christopher Covelli, of the Lake County sheriff’s office.”

And wouldn’t the person that drove him home To Antioch, IL be an accomplice to murder?

Have been asking that question for weeks and haven’t gotten an answer....

36. His friend who bought the gun for him
Sat Oct 31, 2020, 12:01 AM
Oct 2020

“I shot two White kids,” the records quote him as saying in the lobby.

Before a fatal shooting, teenage Kenosha suspect idolized the police

Rittenhouse and the friend who bought him the gun, identified in the records as Dominick Black, 18, each told police they had been hired by a local business owner to provide security that night. Kenosha had seen several nights of protests in the wake of a police shooting of a Black man.

The records were released after the Milwaukee Sun-Sentinel filed a lawsuit seeking them. The Washington Post obtained them through a public records request.

Black sometimes stays with his stepfather in Kenosha, the records say. During a camping trip to Ladysmith in northern Wisconsin in April, Kyle gave Dominick money for the gun at a local hardware store, they say.

The records say that Black, who drove Rittenhouse home after the shootings, with the gun in the trunk of his car, told Antioch police that Rittenhouse kept the gun at Black’s stepfather’s house in Kenosha.

Even without the murder charge, he was an underage criminal with a weapon.

Yet he is a hero to the 'law and order' conservative republican party.
