Rittenhouse will not be charged for gun offenses in Illinois—gun did not cross state lines
2020-10-16
Only the first step, but at least the first step in the right direction.
[PostMillennial] Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who shot and killed two people during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, will not be facing additional charges in the state of Illinois, the Lake County state attorney's office said on Tuesday.

Antioch police say Rittenhouse's rifle was purchased, stored, and Wisconsin, which would not violate Illinois law, the attorney's office told the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
 Sun Times in a statement.

Rittenhouse was also never in possession of the gun in the state of Illinois, evidence shows.

Rittenhouse faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide after an incident in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the riots after the shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse discharged his weapon, killing two protestors, and also shot and maimed a third.

He also faces charges of underage firearm possession in Wisconsin.

Rittenhouse is currently being held in the Lake County Juvenile Detention Center without bond. He is due in court on October 30.

#6  2 killed? Did the guy with the pistol who got his arm blew off die?

Child Raper, then Skate or Die, then Lefty was wounded after faking being EMT and fake surrendering. Lefty has a prominent forearm tattoo some think is the A (for Anarchist) wheel, some maybe think a Dharma Chakra which is a bit unusual for someone with assassin thoughts, nobody thinks it has anything to do with Lefty being a mariner.

First shooter was Methhead Shaggy, a fact known within hours of the incident and finally nabbed on it. Theory is, and evidence seems to support this, is he is a trained professional probably of rank who during escalating tensions casually fired a handgun into the air, and moments later was Kyle vs Child Raper.

#4  #3 lived, but it may be a while before Lefty pulls a piece on anybody.

No, if he had died that would make three killed.

#2  A major win. Refuting the other charges will be easy. An obvious case of legitimate self-defense.
