An Illinois man suspected of killing two people and wounding a third during a third night of protests in Kenosha has been arrested and is now jailed in Lake County, Illinois. Court records show Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, has been charged there as a fugitive from justice. That document, reviewed by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, said he faces a first-degree intentional homicide charge in Kenosha County.

We'll need more info to be sure what is going on, BUT.....it look like you can riot, burn and loot with impunity, but if you defend yourself or your neighborhood and get arrested.
We do not have all the info, but if that is what this was, we see the "justice system" seems to be protecting the looters and arsonists rather then normal people and property owners.

You mean a rioter who who prepared for violence in advance by bringing first aid supplies?

He went from Illinois to Kenosha armed with an AK-15, according to the article. Shot two dead, shot another in the arm.
Then the article says video showed him walking, arms up, toward tactical vehicles that were headed to the shooting victims.
Drugged up?
He is 17, no kid, and is being charged as an adult, hence his name is given. First degree says they believe he went to Kenosha with his weapon, intending to do harm.
The article says there are a number of videos of what happened. As they say, “developing story”.

FTA (I was wrong about weapon):
Video from bystanders showed a chaotic scene near a busy intersection in the city of Kenosha shortly before midnight, in which a man used an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to kill one man with a blast to the head and another with a shot to the abdomen.
A third man, believed to be a street medic, was shot in the arm and is expected to survive.

All the videos are online. You can see it all from several angles and distances. He was attacked by multiple men while trying to run away. One had a handgun, another was hitting him with a skateboard (club) while he was on the ground and tried to grab his rifle.
Clear case of self defense.
3 antifa won't be joining the riots ever again.

I was wrong about Rittenhouse. Just posted a newer article about his considering himself to be militia, there to protect property. A local militia leader had put out a call for recruits. It appears that Rittenhouse was one who responded to that internet bulletin.

Just heard the Chief of Police of Kenosha speak. Sounds like a “woke” Chief. Most be comforting to his Policemen to know that should they use deadly force to protect themselves they will most likely be charged! Oh but he did Kneel with the BLM Marxist a few weeks earlier. So citizens if you are a resident of Kenosha if you protect your property you are a Vigilante!

I saw a video of rioters chasing Rittenhouse. He was knocked down and attacked. He fired his weapon in what appeared to be self defense. Rittenhouse apparently shot someone in the head prior to the incident shown in this video. Don’t know circumstances of the first shooting.

What do our "leaders" expect? The sheriff essentially told the 'militia' to go home because he's got it handled, and then demonstrated that he had no intention of fulfilling his duty. All over the nation it's been demonstrated time after time that law enforcement will not employ sufficient measures to protect the lives and property of peaceful citizens. More and more citizens will rise up to take action, beginning with the most volatile, least reasoned and least trained.

Correction. From the video it appears Rittenhouse tripped and fell down before the rioters pounced.

Rittenhouse? Hope he doesn't have a time machine stashed somewhere.

Don't they usually protect the names of minors?

Have you noticed
The media calls 18-22 year old black males "Youths", but a 17 year old White boy is suddenly called a "man"?

The Rioters, Looters, and the Arsonists destroy properties and Lives. They are given a pass and even bailed out by the Democrats. 17 year old helps protect and defend the community with his weapon of choice is already lynched by the media and the local politicians who did NOTHING.

If he’d been black, they would have called him a “youth.”

He was charged as an adult. so his name was revealed. In Wisconsin you are an adult at 18 unless you are involved in criminal activity. Then you are an adult at 17.
Just posted an excellent article from RedState that puts forward the self defense issue. Lots of photos and a key to critical part of video (time stamp).

He has been branded an enemy of the state and now the political trial starts. He shot someone who was trying to crush his skull with a skateboard and that 'street medic' had a pistol pointed at the kid when the kid was on the ground. He didn't shoot the 'street medic' until the rioter charged him WITH A DRAWN PISTOL.

Don't be surprised if citizens that are fed up with the lack of action by their local governments to control these violent and destructive riots start taking matters into their own hands. Violence begets violence!

The videos don't show what led up to Rittenhouse being chased down the street by the protestors. Very reminiscent of the Albuquerque, NM incident. Kid up from Illinois...why? What was he doing armed? Lots of unanswered questions.
