Well you obviously don't have the slightest clue how the legal system works in the USA. I am not a fan of the gun laws in the USA either. But that's besides the point.
I was just listening to a lefty podcast discuss the matter. And the host said , he's going to get off. It was self defense.
Saw earlier that some Christian group has raised over $500k for Rittenhouse.
"Christian".
The Handmaids Tale is looking more and more like a doco.
^ He might be able to claim self defence to get premeditated murder reduced to manslaughter, but that will be about it.
The reporter eyewitness has made a police statement stating he was carrying the gun in an inappropriate manner earlier. The police had already told him to go home. He had no authority to protect buildings or be out during curfew. The gun he was carrying was provocative. He got himself into a bad situation and made that situation worse.
Internal document shows Trump officials were told to make comments sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse
WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement officials were directed to make public comments sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager charged with fatally shooting two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, according to internal Department of Homeland Security talking points obtained by NBC News.
In preparing Homeland Security officials for questions about Rittenhouse from the media, the document suggests that they note that he "took his rifle to the scene of the rioting to help defend small business owners."
Another set of talking points distributed to Homeland Security officials said the media were incorrectly labeling the group Patriot Prayer as racists after clashes erupted between the group and protesters in Portland, Oregon.
It is unclear whether any of the talking points originated at the White House or within Homeland Security's own press office.

Kyle Rittenhouse won’t face charges in Illinois for Kenosha shooting
I am pissing myself at all these indignant illiterates howling about he isn't being charged with anything in Illinois.
They don't seem to understand that his crimes were committed in Wisconsin.
The article was related to Illinois PD investigation of possible illegal gun ownership in Illinois. The investigation showed he did not possess the gun in Illinois and so additional charges were not raised against him.
He is still accused of first degree murder in Wisconsin
Kyle Rittenhouse, Accused Kenosha Killer, Won't Face Gun Charges In Illinois
The white teenager accused of fatally shooting two demonstrators and injuring a third in Wisconsin in August will not be charged with gun crimes in his home state, an Illinois state prosecutor announced.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, faces six criminal counts in Wisconsin, including first-degree intentional homicide. He allegedly used an AR-15-style rifle during protests in Kenosha, Wisc., that erupted after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Lake County, Ill. State's Attorney Michael Nerheim's office said in a statement that an investigation conducted by local police "revealed the gun used in the Kenosha shooting was purchased, stored and used in Wisconsin."
"Additionally, there is no evidence the gun was ever physically possessed by Kyle Rittenhouse in Illinois," the state's attorney's office added.
Police in Antioch, Ill., led the investigation. Antioch is Rittenhouse's hometown, which is located about 15 miles southwest of Kenosha.
The Lake County statement did not provide any details about who may have possessed the gun or where it currently is.
Little is publicly known about the firearm's history, as the Chicago Tribune points out, so it is unclear if the teenager or another person would have faced charges in Illinois if investigators had determined Rittenhouse had possession of the gun inside state lines.
An attorney for Rittenhouse has previous said his client never had possession of the gun outside of Wisconsin.
"Kyle did not carry a gun across state lines," Lin Wood said in a tweet. "The gun belonged to his friend, a Wisconsin resident. The gun never left the State of Wisconsin. Truth always prevails."
Ahead of a court appearance earlier this month which Rittenhouse joined via video link, his legal team submitted a court filing suggesting he was a "patriot" and only at the demonstrations to provide medical assistance while he carried a rifle for self-defense, Chicago NPR member station WBEZ reports.
Rittenhouse, a staunch supporter of the Blue Lives Matter movement, is said to have traveled to Kenosha to join militiamen who purported to be there to assist state and local law enforcement protect property from being destroyed amid protests.
Rittenhouse's actions were apparently captured on graphic video posted on social media.
President Trump, who has made law and order a central theme of his reelection campaign, declined to condemn the teen's alleged actions in August. He suggested, without evidence, that Rittenhouse may have been trying to protect himself when he fired his weapon.
"I guess he was in very big trouble," Trump said. "He probably would have been killed."
Democrats have pointed to Rittenhouse as the embodiment of the threat posed by domestic terrorism.
The teenager remains in a juvenile detention center in Lake County where he is being held without bond. He is due in court at Oct. 30 for an extradition hearing.
