Some interesting FACTS many people seem to want to ignore...
1: Kyle Rittenhouse had a ballistic vest (they called it "body armor" in the trial, but it's really just the same soft vest the police use)...
He was given the vest by the police when he did his police cadet program...
He gave said body armor to a friend, saying he didn't need it because he was leaving the car dealership to give medical aid. Now, why would someone give up their protection if they thought they were going out "looking for trouble"?
2: Yes, Kyle Rittenhouse did travel about 17 mile from Antioch to Kenosha. It's a trip he made almost daily, for his job as a lifeguard and to visit his father and several other relatives. It is less than the distance from TV to Ocala...
3: He did not bring a rifle of any kind with him. It was already in Kenosha, where it was bought, and stored at his friend's house...
It was legal for him, per state law, to carry said rifle. The prosecution never bothered to measure the rifle before charging him with a crime...
4: Gaige Grosskreutz traveled over 50 miles to attend the "mostly peaceful protest"... He DID bring his illegally carried handgun with him. Odd for someone just looking to be an EMT, no?
5: Rittenhouse did not "illegally drink" in a bar. Per state law, he was allowed to have said drink as long as he was with a parent or guardian (which he was)...
6: Zero, I repeat ZERO evidence was produced proving he was involved in ANY "white supremacy" groups. He voluntarily handed over his unlocked phone to the police, as well as access to his social media accounts...
Anyone who watched the trial would know these things. Anyone who depended on certain "news" outlets would not and would continue to parrot the lies they are still being told...
