An Oklahoma state lawmaker has filed a law that would hold the state accountable for “malicious prosecution” should any overzealous prosecutors try to charge a person with murder who is found to have acted in self-defense.
He’s naming the legislation, quite fittingly, “Kyle’s law” after teen Kyle Rittenhouse , who was found not guilty last week for all charges relating to an incident during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer when he was forced to defend his life and shot three people, killing two.
Thankfully, while a jury acquitted Rittenhouse, many have noted that he never should have been charged in the first place and that it appears to have been more about politics than justice.
This is why Oklahoma state Sen. Nathan Dahm, a Republican who represents Broken Arrow, wants to ensure that his constituents never find themselves facing charges for acting in self-defense .
“Kyle Rittenhouse should never have been charged. The video evidence from early on showed it was lawful self-defense,” Dahm said, according to a news release from the Oklahoma Senate. “It is our duty to protect the rights of the people we represent, and the right to self-defense is paramount. This bill will ensure that what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse cannot happen to the people of Oklahoma.”
Senate Bill 1120, or Kyle’s Law, was filed on Tuesday to “ensure Oklahomans who use self-defense won’t have to face trial for political reasons,” the release said.
“If the measure becomes law, victims of malicious prosecution would be able to receive compensation for expenses and damages,” it said.

Under Kyle’s Law, if a defendant accused of murder is found to have acted in reasonable, justifiable homicide, the state would be required to reimburse a “maliciously” accused defendant of all reasonable costs, such as lost wages, legal fees and any other expenses they incurred as part of their defense.
The legislation does specify that this is for defendants who feel they were wrongly prosecuted and that any untoward motive on the part of the prosecutors must be well-established.To be eligible for this compensation, the claimant must establish “that the prosecution was instituted or instigated by the […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
