Kyle Rittenhouse is walking out of court a free man.
The Kenosha Protest shooter was found NOT GUILTY of all charges on Friday, November 19.
The 18-year-old fatally shot two people and wounded one during the protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last August.
Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty!
A jury acquitted Rittenhouse of first-degree reckless homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon, first-degree intentional homicide with use of a dangerous weapon, attempted first-degree intentional homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon, and two counts of recklessly endangering safety with the use of a dangerous weapon.
Rittenhouse had to cross state lines to attend the protest, which he did with an AR-15-style rifle and a medical kit on August 25.
The NOT GUILTY verdict came after a two week trial that begged to answer the question, “Was Rittenhouse acting in self-defense when he fatally shot two people and wounded another during civil unrest?” The jury deliberated for 26 hours and finally came to their verdict.
Many on social media were outraged by the verdict and got #WhitePrivelege trending on Twitter as well as ‘Not Surprised.’
