On August 25 of last year when he was 17, Rittenhouse decided to patrol the downtown Kenosha area alongside other armed men in order to protect a used car dealership from looting and vandalism. The city had devolved into rioting over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man, by a white Kenosha police officer.Rittenhouse took a medical kit and armed himself with a Smith &#038; Wesson M&#038;P15, which is an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle that police say his friend illegally bought for him.While guarding the used car dealership, he was chased by protesters and ended up fatally shooting two people, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring a third, Gaige Grosskreutz. The defendant and the three men he shot are all white.He was arrested and\u00a0charged\u00a0with five felony charges and one misdemeanor charge. The most serious charge was intentional homicide, Wisconsin\u2019s top murder charge, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. The others were reckless homicide, attempted homicide, two counts of reckless endangerment, and being a minor illegally in possession of a firearm.On Monday, the judge dismissed the misdemeanor firearm charge, which was considered the easiest charge for the state to prove. Previously, Rittenhouse\u00a0was also charged with violating curfew, but that charge was\u00a0dismissed\u00a0last week by the judge as well.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
