Kenosha Unrest: Teen Arrested In Deadly Shootings During Jacob Blake Protests


Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has defended 17-year-old Illinois double murder suspect Kyle Rittenhouse as a "little boy" who was merely "trying to protect his community" during the shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin last month.

Bondi appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News show to discuss new video footage released by Rittenhouse's attorney which paints the suspect in a favorable light and suggests his actions were justified in the "war zone" which had broken out in Kenosha in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

"You have got a 17-year-old out there trying to protect his state," Bondi said, despite the fact the teenager traveled from his hometown in Antioch, Illinois, to attend the protests on August 25.

"He is helping people who have been injured. He has paramedic training from being a lifeguard. He is taking graffiti off walls. He is trying to mitigate the chaos out there."
