BREAKING: Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, IL, has been charged with first-degree murder in Kenosha, Wisconsin, according to Lake County, Illinois Clerk of Courts records

Police are searching for a person seen running with a long gun after three people were shot ― two fatally ― during another night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, county Sheriff David Beth told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The suspect, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of Antioch, Illinois, was charged with murder and is listed under Lake County Circuit Court records as a fugitive.

Some may have been drawn to the city through a Facebook post by a group calling itself the Kenosha Guard, which encouraged “patriots” to “take up arms and defend our city tonight from the evil thugs,” The Verge reported. Law enforcement said officers responded to reports of shots fired at 11:45 p.m. and have not yet released the identities of those killed or injured.

Video of Blake’s shooting was released Sunday night and immediately recalled the excessive force used by white police officers against George Floyd, a Black man who died after being pinned to the ground by his neck for several minutes. Protests over Floyd’s death took off nationwide and lasted weeks; in some places they have yet to stop.

Yahoo, just go ahead and say the shooter supported Trump. All logical thinking Americans already expect it from your left slant views

If Kyle ran away, he’s no longer a threat, but he’s on the ground and appears to be attacked, so he has every right to defend himself.

It’s simple you vote democrat your a communist! Full stop!

Kill or be killed. Drop the murder charge.its was in defence.

He will win in court. When all the evidence comes out We will only guilty of crossing state lines. No Patriots will condemn this kid. Enjoy ur media bias for now. Truth will prevail

Poor kid, chased by a convicted paedophile and forced to use his weapon in self defence, then chased and beaten by violent communists and forced to defend himself again, probably has ptsd, bless him.

Runs, falls, shots, tries to surrender to police gets ignored...?

Good luck getting that to stick in front of a jury

Self-defense. They were both attacking him at the time. Plus, one of them was a pedophile, and another was a felon who wasn't allowed to have a gun... but did.

Guy pointed a gun at him SelfDefense

Didn’t the rioters all drive in from who knows where why yes they did so this good was being a good citizen driving in to stop thieves and arsonists I don’t see the problem

THIS CASE NEEDS TO END NOW! He did this in self defense! Fock these idiots that attacked him!

Was it for the shooting in the street or the shooting before all this

Finally resistance. I’ll remember him

They're lucky he stopped shooting.

If it was a black man shooting at blue lives matter protesters y’all would not be defending him. Just say you’re racist and go 🥰✌🏼

Yeah he should have let those people attack him instead of running away. And then let them attack him, instead of shooting them.

He'll walk. No way that will stick

Maybe if police did their job and punished rioters then citizens wouldn't have to do their job for them.

easily going to beat the charge, dumb prosecutor

Even if he beats the m one. A minor in possession of the gun is enough to put him away for awhile.

Defending yourself is illegal now.

An American hero, but Garbage Violent BLM and Antifa can murder 30 people, burn down cities loot and assault innocent people Democrats praise them

What about those that attacked him? That's who they should arrest and prosecute. Not the guy that defended himself. How many people have been innocent people have been murdered since these riots started?

it was self defense, we all seen the footage

LRS night vision.

This is the blueprint they will use, as they will pin all riots and violence on the right and QAnons. What is this kids background?

Sickening.

This charge was intentionally not realistic. Self defense will hold. The age factor, crossing state lines with a weapon and maybe discharging weapon in public or something for the rounds fired when no one was close are likely.

Donate here for justice

He didn't walk up and shoot someone. He was CHASED with molotiv cocktails, a skateboard, and a glock. He defended himself.

He was jumped by thugs with weapons this was self-defense video easly shows this. NOT GUILTY SELF-DEFENSE 100%

Self defense all the way.

Until black men understand that RESPECT goes both ways, these problems will continue to occur. You can't disrespect people and then cry about the CONSEQUENCES of those actions. If you want to be respected, then you have to give respect.

Black people are LITERALLY gonna DESTROY America...because they want to get RESPECT, but they DON'T like to give RESPECT. They think it's okay to be violent with other people, but, when it's done to them, they go crazy!

They said Robert Blake broke up a fight between 2 women, but the only way he could have done that, is if the women showed him RESPECT and cooperated with him trying to stop them from fighting...yet, when the police showed up, he refused to cooperate with them!

All Robert Blake had to do is talk to the police...COOPERATE! If every person did what he did, America would turn into a war zone...you can't have law and order without the cooperation of American citizens. RESPECT goes both ways...that man showed the police no RESPECT!

This guy's a national hero and I love him

It was all self defense. Download the videos for yourself.

He's a national hero

Another white supremacist TRUMP supporter .sad!

Legend

Good. Silly, vindictive, virtue-signalling over-charging will ensure this young guy is not convicted. He didn't act well and shouldn't have gone there armed, but he was clearly being attacked by a mob including at least one armed man and acted in self defence 🤔🙄🥴

Arrested....now let’s see them make a case that actually convicts..because I think they don’t have anything.

Pre-meditated murder... that’s gonna stick

Barr should step in and the DA should be disbarred.

And one more.

Self defense. This man is a hero with more balls than any of those raging crybabies violently burning and looting.

Another one.

Guns charging him.

Another one getting beat.

This kid?

The first guy killed was charging Kyle while Kyle was trying to run away. The second shooting, Kyle falls while running away from the mob. They start to beat him while he's down. He kills one and injures another. I can't see how this is not self defense.

Seems like an overcharge. They must want him to quietly walk after things die down.

guilty of being good

American hero defending this country against domestic enemy combatants destroying another one of our American cities.

Video shows that he was attacked by people with handguns and shot both of them. Why is he being charged with a crime?

__JustRed__ All of those dudes who were walking around with guns on some call of duty type shit should be arrested as well.

Massive over charging. He'll walk, thank god. Kyle the Commie Killer rules.

Booo

He was fully justified and well within his rights of self defense.

No matter what you ignorant left over DNA fragments say in these comments. He’s 17, not of legal age to carry a firearm. (It wasn’t for recreational purposes, so save it.) so he broke the law, while breaking the law. F this kid. You too.

To all the kcidhead apologist for this 17 year old POS: Would he have gone WITHOUT a weapon? No, just like the other kcidless klancowards wouldn't show up without a weapon.

Antioch is 35 miles from Kenosha, not 15. Fix your story.

GOOD

The facts.

FreeKyleRittenhouse

People need to look up the definition of 1st degree murder. A lot of misinformed commenters.

LMAO first degree murder? Kid tried to retreat from multiple armed attackers, one of whom literally threw a molotov at him. F*ck outta here, this is getting dismissed.

DomesticTerrorism at its finest, folks.

He’ll be cleared of all charges.

why don’t you report the FULL story. kylerittenhouse is part of a white militia that coordinated with Kenosha police to fend off blm protesters. After he murder two civilians they let him flee the scene to evade prosecution. Police gave him water and THANKED HIM.

Just for show.🙄🙄🙄

Is this the same guy who was chased by rioters and attacked when he fell down?

Yup.. stopping violence with violence, nice job Kyle.. you killed two people protesting an injustice and now you’ve gone & committed another injustice. And 17 yr old has a gun.. that’s another story

The newest speaker for the RNC

Sentenced to 2 weeks.....24 hours on good behavior

I’m sure Tucker will have him on his show soon.

LassMacarthur Staged event to prevent normal people from defending themselves. All part of the fear porn machine.

A heroe

Anyone defending him is a complete retard and doesn’t understand the laws. He was 17 he can’t carry or own a weapon especially over state lines, where are his fucking parents. And y’all want to talk about black parents when the white ones are the damn problem!!

He got charged with murder because he was the aggressor. People saying it was self defense are stupid and don't know the whole story!🤦‍♂️

Did they take him to Burger King first?

Not guilty.

It's sad how many people support someone carrying illegally over state lines. If you support the NRA, by default you should be against this. But because he killed two people, he's a hero?

DanWoikeSports Now convict

O.J. was arrested as well....

He’s screwed. Took a weapon across state lines and killed two? He likely won’t ever get out of prison.

I thought you weren’t supposed to name minors, Yahoo News?

Rittenhouse was reportedly arrested in his hometown of Antioch, Illinois, and charged with first-degree murder. Police had been searching for him after a man holding a long gun was captured on video shooting people during the protests, then fleeing

ALLREDToDoRoJo Wait till we start shooting back 🥰

He was defending himself!

Very poor reporting...do better Yahoo

Why is your trash article deliberately inaccurate?

Self defense! Too bad he didn’t get more of them.

Self defense plain and simple

Let my man free!

Lol this is good because he’s totally getting off those charges. No way they can prove it was first degree in court b

Your article is trash. You call the men who try to stomp him into a coma “protesters” and one of them had a hand gun pointing at Kyle. Just watch the video, people. Media is gaslighting.

Good thing the cops are searching for people hurting the people trying to kill them.

Bullsh*t! I hope I'm on that Jury. NOT GUILTY!

if you're grown enough to murder, then you are grown enough to be charged with murder. Justice kylerittenhouse Kenosha

But, but, but he's a good boy and didn't mean it.

MarcIstook WOW

So the guy “defending his home or business” has neither a home or business and doesn’t even live in the community he was killing in?

Real Headline: Boogaloo Boi Intent On Civil War Crosses State Lines to Murder POC NoPardonsForRacistWarmongers

First degree murder? It was self defense. And any parasite who says otherwise absolutely didn’t watch the video.

Are they taking him to Disneyworld first because last night they gave him water to hydrate himself before he want on his killing spree...

Nullify this jury. Not guilty.
