3 min readNov 20, 2021
Kyle Rittenhouse’s recent acquittal in the deaths of two protesters and the wounding of another is being lauded as a conservative victory. Rittenhouse, 17 years old at the time, traveled from his home state of Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin, had an adult purchase an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle for him, and attended a protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in 2020. Rittenhouse claimed he was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed James Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and wounded Gaige Grosskruetz.
