He was arrested again in 2017 in Arkansas for encouraging people to rush the stage.Sean Krajacic-Pool\/Pool\/Getty Images2) Kyle Rittenhouse Trial\u00a0ContinuesThe Topline: The second week of the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial started Monday, with the 18-year-old arguing that he shot three men in self-defense during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year.\u00a0Quote Of The Day:\u00a0\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him, with your gun (and your hands down) pointed at him that he fired? Right?\u201d\u2013 Defense Attorney Corey Chirafisi\u201cCorrect.\u201d\u2013 Gaige Grosskreutz, shot by Kyle RittenhouseThe CaseOn August 25th of last year \u2013 when he was 17 \u2013 Kyle Rittenhouse went to Kenosha, Wisconsin, with the stated intention of guarding businesses from looting and vandalism. Rioting had broken out in Kenosha over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man, by a white Kenosha police officer.\u00a0Rittenhouse armed himself with a Smith &#038; Wesson M&#038;P15, an AR-15 style rifle, as well as a medical kit. Police said a friend of Rittenhouse purchased the rifle for him illegally.\u00a0While Rittenhouse was patrolling the downtown Kenosha area, he was attacked and chased by protesters and ended up fatally shooting two people and injuring a third person. Rittenhouse and the three men he shot are all white.\u00a0Rittenhouse is charged with several counts of homicide and attempted homicide as well as unlawful possession of a firearm.\u00a0The ProsecutionLast week the prosecution made their case, calling a slew of witnesses, and the jury watched more than a dozen videos of the shootings and what happened before and after the shootings.\u00a0So far, the prosecution has called several witnesses who gave testimony that appeared to bolster the defense\u2019s case.\u00a0One of them was Richard McGinnis, a video editor at the Daily Caller. McGinnis said Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man Rittenhouse shot, lunged for Rittenhouse\u2019s rifle after chasing him across a parking lot.\u00a0Another witness testified that Gaige Grosskreutz, the man Rittenhouse shot and injured, was holding a loaded gun and pointing it at Rittenhouse. On Monday, Grosskreutz himself testified and admitted during cross examination by the defense team that Rittenhouse only fired at him after he pointed his gun at Rittenhouse.The Daily Wire On LocationDave Hancock, a spokesman for the Rittenhouse family, said while it\u2019s been stressful, the family is \u201cstaying upbeat.\u201d He also said since the trial started, \u201ca lot of truths are coming out right now.\u201d\u00a0The Daily Wire spoke to a shooting witness who said the second and third shootings happened about a hundred feet in front of him. He described how dangerous the situation became and said no one involved made a good decision that day, \u201cnot the law enforcement. Not Rittenhouse, not the armed citizens, not the protesters.\u201dPatrick T. FALLON\/PATRICK T. FALLON\/Contributor\/AFP via Getty Images3) Texans Vote To Amend Constitution\u00a0The Topline: On Election Day, the people of Texas voted to pass eight amendments to their state\u2019s constitution, including two measures designed to counter COVID-related mandates.The Amendments\u00a0Last Tuesday, Texans voted to pass eight proposed amendments to the state constitution.One, Proposition 3, prohibits Texas (or a political subdivision of Texas) from prohibiting or limiting religious services of religious organizations. It would make it unconstitutional to use COVID-19 as an excuse to shut down religious services. It passed by over 63%.Another, Proposition 6, establishes a right for residents of certain facilities to designate an essential caregiver for in-person visitation. This passed by a majority of over 87%, and allows residents of places like nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to designate one person who, under most circumstances, could not be stopped from visiting in-person.\u00a0Other StatesMultiple states have been exploring this idea in various ways. There have been bills which seek to protect houses of worship from stricter regulations than essential businesses, and bills limiting the powers of state officials when it comes to religious gatherings.\u00a0Adding protections to the state constitution is a significant step, and one other states might replicate in the future.Al Drago\/Bloomberg\/Contributor via Getty ImagesOther Stories We\u2019re TrackingBattle Over \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201dNASCAR President Steve Phelps is distancing the NASCAR franchise from the phrase \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d and has threatened to sue those who use the slogan on merchandise that also features NASCAR\u2019s trademarks.
