Now, people are still wrapped up in what was the trial of the century…
For the foreseeable future the events that unfolded on the night of the Kenosha unrest shooting will surely stay in everyone’s mind.
Rittenhouse took the lives of thirty-six-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, and twenty-six-year-old Anthony Huber, who reportedly tackled Rittenhouse to the ground in an attempt to “wrestle his rifle away.”
They’re not showing or discussing Kyle Rittenhouse’s victims much and I think it’s because the kind of people who support him have an easier time doing so when they assume he killed Black people at a BLM protest. These are his victims: Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum pic.twitter.com/UCOeXw4dsw

He also wounded twenty-seven-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz by shooting at him and severing his bicep.
Rittenhouse’s case quickly gained a large online following from both right and left wing political circles during the duration of his trial.
With the far-right branding him a “hero,” while others condemn his actions, calling him a “vigilante.”
Throughout his trial, his attorney Mark Richards, claimed he was acting in self defense…
And that he shouldn’t be reprimanded for the actions he was forced to take to protect himself against the three victims.
Rittenhouse shared his testimony stating that he had gone to Kenosha to offer medical aid to protestors…
“Did you come into downtown Kenosha looking for trouble?” He was asked as reported by NBC Chicago, to which he responded: “No.”
Not long after going into detail about the shooting, Rittenhouse broke down crying, resulting in the trial being posponed briefly…
But, after a short break, the trial resumed and Rittenhouse continued with his testimony.
As the trial continued, Rittenhouse told prosecutors that he “didn’t intend to kill them.”
“I intended to stop the people who were attacking me,” the teen said, adding that: “I did what I had to do to stop the person who was attacking me. Two of them passed away, but I stopped the threat from attacking me.”
After the trial finally came to a close, the state of Wisconsin began preparing itself for backlash no matter the verdict.

Over 500 National Guard troops were deployed to the area in order to support law enforcement in Kenosha.
Governor Tony Evers stated that they will be on standby, should law enforcement officers need them.
In a statement, he said: “I urge folks who are otherwise not from the area to please respect the community by reconsidering any plans to travel there and encourage those who might choose to assemble and exercise their First Amendment rights to do so safely and peacefully.”
After an exhausting few weeks, a decision was finally made on November 19 as Kyle Rittenhouse was cleared of all charges.
Among those condemning the verdict is many famous faces, including Colin Kaepernick who took to Twitter as he emphasized the “need to abolish our current system.”
We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.
This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed.

“We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist.
“This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed,” the former footballer and activist, who first knelt during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality in the US, tweeted.
Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office also gave a statement about the verdict, as per NPR. Claiming they were “dissapointed” but that it “must be respected.”
Adding: “We are grateful to the members of the jury for their diligent and thoughtful deliberations. We ask that members of our community continue to express their opinions and feelings about this verdict in a civil and peaceful manner.”
Shortly after the verdict, Rittenhouse broke his silence as he discussed the jury’s decision.

In a video shared by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Rittenhouse can be seen sitting inside a car as he says: “I believe they came to the correct verdict, and I’m glad everything went well. It’s been a rough journey, but we made it through it. We made it through the hard part.”
It has now been several months since Rittenhouse’s verdict was reached…
And it seems the trial has piqued his interest in becoming a lawyer himself.
Rittenhouse opened up about his desire to go into law on BlazeTV…
He said to hosts Elijah Schaffer and Sydney Watson: “I want to be a lawyer. I want to go to law school.”
He went on to explain that it was facing prosecutor, Thomas Binger, that has given him the drive to study…
Explaining that he wants to “go against corrupt piece of sh*t prosecutors like Thomas Binger and put them in their place and make sure they never practice law again.”
In response, the right-wing host, Watson, said: “I just love that.”

What do you think of his comments?
Because it seems as though he’s willing to spend a little more time in the courtroom.
Saying that he wants to sue Whoopi Goldberg.
But, that’s not the only celebrity he wants to sue…
And people had a lot to say.
During his upcoming trial and acquittal, many people called Rittenhouse a murderer and a ‘white supremicist.’
And now, Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed 2 people, wants to sue them for it.
Speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News yesterday, he said that he wanted to hold media and entertainment figures accountable.
Carlson asked if he would be suing any news organizations, and when. And, Rittenhouse responded by saying:
“Well, right now we’re looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes, Whoopi Goldberg is on the list.”
He then gave more information as to why he’d be suing Whoopi.
“She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that,” he said. Carlson then asked if he will be taking action against those who have labeled him a white supremacist.
“Absolutely,” he said. “We are going to hold everybody that’s lied about me accountable,” he continued.
He had to think for a minute before giving a few examples:
“Such as uhm… Everybody who has lied and called me a white supremacist. They’re all going to be held accountable, and they’re going to be dealt with in a courtroom,” he said.
If you want to see what he had to say for yourself, watch the video below…
