Kyle Rittenhouse is being held on $2 million bail as the lawyers leading his defense say they are continuing to seek donations for his bond and defense.
Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Illinois, is charged with two counts of homicide and one of attempted homicide for allegedly shooting three men, killing two, during unrest in Kenosha Aug. 25. He made his initial appearance in Kenosha County Circuit Court on Nov. 2, three days after being transferred from Lake County, Illinois, where a judge ruled against his extradition fight. |

Political lynching.
If this ever gets to trial, I predict that they will have three hung juries and finally give up.
In the meantime, this young man that did nothing except defend himself from probably death is sitting in jail.
The prosecutors should be ashamed of this travasity.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
