Mark Hertzberg/Pool Photo via AP On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse defended his life against three attackers at an Antifa and BLM riot to stay out of a box in the ground. Now, the 18-year-old finds himself fighting for his life in a Kenosha courtroom to keep from spending the rest of his life in a cage.
The legal fight to convince a jury that it was reasonable to use his gun to save himself is winding down. On Thursday, the defense rested its case in the nearly two-week trial that saw moments of high drama and open prosecutorial misconduct. Indeed, that the case was bought at all appears to have been more a function of woke politics than the search for justice, as the prosecutor alluded to on Thursday. That it hasn’t been declared a mistrial may prove to be an even bigger injustice.
This week, Rittenhouse undertook the second riskiest thing he’d ever done in his short life: He subjected himself to hours of questioning by the man trying to put him in prison. He didn’t have to testify.
It’s been clear from all available video evidence for more than a year that the 17-year-old Rittenhouse defended himself from men who attacked him during the riot. More than five men attacked him that night, and a mob chased him with pipes, poles, and at least one gun. Rittenhouse fired his gun eight times that night. Two of his attackers died and another protester, Gaige Grosskreutz, was wounded when he leveled his hand gun at Rittenhouse’s head from three feet away. Not even the New York Times denies self-defense.
The life guard and police cadet answered the call with several others to help secure a business in Kenosha on the third night of the riots, which saw the police retreat, looters plunder, multiple gunshots fired, and arsonists incinerate. Rioters destroyed the Department of Corrections building and torched more than 100 businesses, causing millions of dollars in damage.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
