There was only a mostly peaceful protest - remember? They were ALL mostly peaceful protests - pure americana. The kind of thing that any american mother should be proud to take her son to.
You people can't have it both ways, ****. You don't get to call him a "little kid," only to help you attack his mother, when you tried him as an adult. You don't get to call a mostly peaceful protest - a perfectly legitimate action, - a "riot," just so you can badmouth someone's mama.
On August 25, 2020, when he was 17, Rittenhouse shot three men during the civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin that followed the shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake, by a police officer. Rittenhouse, a white American,[7] was armed with an AR-15 style rifle and had joined a group of armed citizens in Kenosha who had said they were there to protect local businesses.[8][9] After a man chased him into a parking lot and grabbed the barrel of his rifle, Rittenhouse fatally shot him.[10][11][12] Rittenhouse fled and was pursued by a crowd. He then fatally shot a second man after the man struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard and tried to grab his rifle.[8][13][14] Rittenhouse wounded a third when he was approached and had a handgun pointed at him.[13][15][16][17][18]

He was only 17
He took an AR 15 with him
He should have been doing homework
I can understand a kid being part of a police youth program or fire department but not when the **** has hit the fan.
