Kyle Rittenhouse asks for items seized during Kenosha shooting arrest, including gun, to be returned

KENOSHA, Wis -- Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois man acquitted of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during street protests in Kenosha in 2020, is seeking the return of the gun and other property that police seized after his arrest.

Law enforcement has had the gun since the day after Rittenhouse shot three men, two of them fatally, on Aug. 25, 2020, during a night of protests and unrest in the southeastern Wisconsin city of Kenosha over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white police officer.Rittenhouse turned himself in to police in his then-hometown of Antioch, Illinois, within hours of the shootings.

"At the end of the day, two people did lose their lives, period," Hancock said."That weapon was involved in that. That weapon doesn't belong on a mantle. It doesn't belong in a museum. It belongs where Kyle wants it, and Kyle wants it destroyed. ... There's plenty of people out there who would like to hold these items up, on both sides. That's nothing Kyle's interested in.

Prosecutors portrayed Rittenhouse as a"wannabe soldier" who had gone looking for trouble, while his supporters regarded him as a patriot who took a stand against lawlessness.The gun was purchased by Dominick Black for Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time and unable to legally buy a gun and"was to become the legal property of Kyle Rittenhouse upon his 18th birthday," which was Jan. 3, 2021, the motion stated.

Rightfully so

The word 'man' should be in quotations for this headline

Rittenhouse should never be allowed to have a gun ever again! He belongs in jail, not randomly killing people!

This is a ridiculous picture

I thought he had it illegally?
