KYLE RITTENHOUSE

‘Kyle Rittenhouse was accused of killing two men and attempting to kill a third. 

‘He pled not guilty by reason of self-defense.

Rittenhouse’s alleged crimes were committed during intense protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year. 

‘Blake, a Black man, was shot seven times in the back. He survived, but was paralyzed.

‘Images and accounts of the ensuing protests show Rittenhouse, then 17, carrying a high-powered rifle and being friendly with police prior to the shootings. 

‘Right-wing media and figures have portrayed him as an innocent child protecting the community from looters and vandals. They’ve heralded him as a hero.’
