Teen Vigilante Killed Unarmed Kenosha Protester Who Threw a Plastic Bag at Him: Court Docs
Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen vigilante charged with murdering protesters in Kenosha, allegedly shot one of them after they accosted him and threw a plastic bag in his direction.
The Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office filed five felony charges against Rittenhouse on Thursday, including first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide, as well as a misdemeanor charge of possession of a deadly weapon.
The big-time Blue Lives Matter fan allegedly armed himself with a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle and traveled half an hour from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday. He was photographed scrubbing graffiti off buildings earlier in the day, and told reporters later that evening that he was acting as a civilian militia protecting businesses from being looted.
