    Kyle Rittenhouse Faces another Lawsuit Over Kenosha Incident

    Kyle RIttenhouse, the young man who traveled to Kenosha during the George Floyd and BLM “mostly peaceful protests” and ended up shooting three people, two of whom died, was found not guilty in the trial over the incident. Yet he faces lawfare assaults over it, with a new lawsuit having just been filed on the three year anniversary of it.

    The lawsuit, which was filed by Joseph Rosenbaum’s estate, doesn’t just target Kyle. It is also targeting the City of Kenosha, its officials, the City of West Allis, six local Sheriff’s departments, and two police departments for “compensatory and punitive damages” over what it claims was Rosenbaum’s “wrongful death.”

    Additionally, the complaint claims that the police, on the night of the Kenosha riot, “deputized” 10 armed individuals and “ratified their actions by letting them patrol the streets, armed with deadly weapons, to mete out justice as they saw fit.”

    That is despite the fact that, during Rittenhouse’s trial, witnesses confirmed that Rosenbaum reached for Rittenhouse’s gun during the Black Lives Matter protest the two were present at. Further, Mr. Rosenbaum was accused of sexually abusing five pre-teen boys in 2002, was indicted on 11 counts of child molestation, and pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor.

    Mr. Rittenhouse, speaking to the Texas Standard about the situation, said. “These lawsuits are making it harder and harder for me to move on with my life. It is extremely difficult to go outside without fear of being harassed or assaulted because of the lies spread in these lawsuits. No one should have to continue to defend the fact that they acted in self defense.”

    Mr. Rittenhouse also tweeted about the matter on Elon Musk’s X, saying, “I’m being sued again for defending my life.”

    Attorney Jenna Ellis, who faces charges alongside Trump in Fulton County over the 2020 election and the Trump Campaign’s response to it, tweeted, “I stand with my friend [Kyle] and *every* conservative they’re all coming after, trying to destroy our rights and reputations and lives. Are you awake yet?”

    Also joining in was former Texas Rep. Jonathan Stickland, who wrote, “My friend Kyle Rittenhouse is under attack again for defending himself, but he will never face the liberal mob alone. Patriots, we must stick together.“

    This isn’t the fist time Kyle has attacked the lawsuits which seem aimed at taking away whatever resources he has left over an incident for which he was found not guilty. Talking about the civil lawsuits filed by the father of one of the men he shot dead, John Huber, and by the man he shot who survived, Gaige Grosskreutz, Rittenhouse said: “If they can do this to me, a 20-year-old kid who has no financial assets […] they can do this to anybody. They can do this to somebody who has established a career, who has money, and take all their money.”
