Rittenhouse is accused of shooting three demonstrators, killing two of them, during a night of unrest that erupted in Kenosha after a police officer shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back while being arrested in August 2020. Rittenhouse, from Antioch, Illinois, was 17 at the time of the shooting and armed with an assault rifle. He faces counts of felony homicide and felony attempted homicide.

This is America, and we\u2019re treading down a dangerous path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The facts of the case, however, point to a clear example of self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>As Breitbart&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/crime\/2021\/11\/20\/kyle-rittenhouse-after-being-cleared-of-charges-self-defense-is-not-illegal\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"25\">\n<p>That night, Rittenhouse and a group of armed volunteers were guarding a car dealership that had been torched the night before. After Rittenhouse put out a fire, he was chased by a rioter named James Rosenbaum, who reached for Rittenhouse\u2019s AR-15-style rifle. Rittenhouse fired four times, hitting Rosenbaum and wounding him mortally.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A crowd then gave chase as Rittenhouse attempted to flee toward police officers. He was struck in the head with a rock by an unknown assailant and kicked in the face by someone referred to as \u2018Jump Kick Man,\u2019 whom Rittenhouse then shot at but missed. A rioter named Anthony Huber then hit Rittenhouse in the head and neck with a skateboard, and reached for the rifle; Rittenhouse fired one shot, killing him. Another rioter, Gaige Grosskreutz, who was armed with a pistol, raised his hands above his head, then charged Rittenhouse with his gun pointed at him. Rittenhouse fired, wounding Grosskreutz in the arm.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kerr had no comment, nor was he asked about the \u201cpath\u201d the country was on as rioters \u2013 many of them armed \u2013 lit Kenosha on fire in the hours and days following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake last August.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/police-officer-stands-guard-in-front-of-a-department-of-corrections-picture-id1268412038\" alt=\"Police officer stands guard in front of a department of corrections building after it was set ablaze during a second night of rioting on August 24,...\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>KENOSHA, WISCONSIN \u2013 AUGUST 24: A police officer stands guard in front of a department of corrections building after it was set ablaze during a second night of rioting on August 24, 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
