The Real Reason the Left Hates Kyle Rittenhouse

There have been some very bad takes regarding the ongoing trial involving Kyle Rittenhouse.  The then-17-year-old who now-famously shot and killed two and injured a third has been a lightning rod of controversy ever since the shocking video of the shootings made their way online that night of the Kenosha riots, over a year ago.  If you’ve been living under a rock, Rittenhouse was in Kenosha that night looking to help administer first aid to anyone who may be injured by the rioting that later did over 50 million dollars in damage.  He also happened to be carrying an AR-15, loaned to him by another person there to help patrol the streets.  After several threats from one person, Rittenhouse was chased by that person until Rittenhouse felt that the man posed a threat to him and his firearm, causing Rittenhouse to shoot the man, killing him.  As Rittenhouse fled, attempting to reach the police line a few blocks away, he was pursued by several others, including one man who attempted to hit Rittenhouse with a skateboard and then attempting to grab Rittenhouse’s gun which caused Rittenhouse to shoot that man, killing him instantly.  When another man approached Rittenhouse with a gun in his hand, Rittenhouse fired at him, hitting him in the arm.  Rittenhouse later made it to the police line and then to home.  He later turned himself in to the police.
