Kyle Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, was taken into custody in Illinois on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide. Antioch is about 15 miles from Kenosha.
Two people were killed Tuesday night in an attack carried out by a young white man who was caught on cellphone video opening fire in the middle of the street with a semi-automatic rifle.
Cell phone footage shows Kenosha police telling armed insurrectionists, “We appreciate you guys. We really do,” and giving them bottles of water. Shortly after this video was taken, one of these men shot and killed two protesters and wounded another.

Why is the race of the teenager posted? Of what difference is it? Are you trying to fan the flames even more?
Will he be a featured speaker at the RNC tonight or tomorrow?
More of those fine people, clearly out to protect the first amendment, something their dear leader has encouraged them to do at every turn. Who are we kidding, no one saw Nazi-ism as a cult when Germany was ‘winning’; it was only when they looked back at havoc it had wrought that they understood how blindly they had followed it into darkness. I loathe socialist platforms, but would prefer a slow walk to socialism to a quick March towards Trump’s authoritarianism. Brown Shirts anyone??
