The 17-year-old accused of killing two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, days after Jacob Blake was shot by police there is fighting extradition from his home state of Illinois. A judge has set an Oct. 9 hearing.

FILE - In this Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020 file photo, Kyle Rittenhouse carries a weapon as he walks along Sheridan Road in Kenosha, Wis., during a night of unrest following the weekend police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old accused of killing two protesters days after Jacob Blake was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, faces a hearing Friday, Sept. 25, 2020 on whether he should be sent to Wisconsin to stand trial on homicide charges that could put him in prison for life.

Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested at his home in Antioch, Illinois, a day after prosecutors say he shot and killed two protesters and wounded a third on the streets of Kenosha on Aug. 25. His attorneys have said Rittenhouse acted in self-defense and have portrayed him as a courageous patriot who was exercising his right to bear arms during unrest over the police shooting of Blake, who is Black.

Rittenhouse attended the hearing via Zoom and did not speak, other than to say, “Good morning your honor” to the judge. He wore a blue face mask and a black sweatshirt. While trying to get away in the immediate aftermath, Rittenhouse was captured on cellphone video saying “I just killed somebody.” According to the complaint filed by prosecutors, someone in the crowd said, “Beat him up!” and another yelled, “Get him! Get that dude!”

Long jail time for him.

This kid is guilty of murder, period.

Self defense!

Murderer and terrorist. His punk ass should’ve been at home studying and getting an education. If he wanted to play soldier he should’ve waited to his 18th and joined the US Armed Forces. Parents are as responsible.

America has become a very slack place under Trump, now anyone can pick up an assault rifle walk into the streets and shoot who the fuck they feel to shoot and get away with it. Smh

Self defense. Let him go!

Let him burn

Now that will be privilege!

Death penalty

He went across state lines to kill 2 strangers; he needs to be in court in the state he murdered 2 people & he is not a hero;

You bet he's fighting it.

I'm 100% sure if it was a black teen he wouldn't get praise like some WS are praising this 1.

THUG! Get these animals off our streets for good! Kyle for PRISON.

Boy will be eatting lots of salad.

All The Neo-Nazzis Coming out on his Defense 💀

Some essential reading.

Absolutely NOT!

17 year old DOMESTIC TERRORIST. GOPCorruptionOverCountry .

He took an assault rifle to an active riot looking for trouble and found it. People like this make legal responsible gun owners look bad.

He didn’t have any problem illegally crossing state lines with an assault rifle then he shouldn’t have a problem with being extradited.

Trying to avoid the death penalty in Wisconsin.

Perhaps someone should bring a rifle with them and go get him, seems only fair, right? Just helping maintain the rule of law.

Well if he's fighting extradition he can't argue he was defending his 'home town' as they've tried to say. He is guilty but he was encouraged by law enforcement and whomever gave him the gun. His mother should sue the PD and the gun owner. He'll end up institutionalized.

Maybe he should’ve kept his little rotten ass home the first time

If you drive there to kill someone you should go to prison there.

F*ck him. He committed a crime. And he and his ilk eschew 'law and order' at every turn. Commit a crime, do the time.

Free Kyle!!!

good kid, a hero

Crossing state lines to commit a crime is a federal offense. Extradition should not be an issue. Where is DOJ? We know he was underage, gun was not his and he transported the weapon across state lines.

If there is a video of him shooting two people than I would say he is a little more than accused at that point... c’mon

he's gonna lose that fight

I am surprised Trump hasn't preemptively pardoned him and given him the medal of honor yet.

He wasn’t afraid to saunter on over to Wisconsin when he could take his gun with him...

He murdered multiple people in wisconsin and violated their gun laws. He is a terrorist.

Kyle's going to the booty house either way.

Thanks for using an appropriate picture. Meanwhile our Milwaukee jsonline chose this for the same story:

lock this kid....up!!

'He turned himself in.' 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

He crossed the state line to murder, let the crime be tried in Wisconsin, where it is convenient for the victims, not for the criminal.

Take him through the drive through, get him a burger and take his butt to Wisconsin. No justice no peace.

You think he calls Mommy and cries when he’s allowed phone calls?

JimLaPorta He should have thought about that before he crossed state lines and then murdered 2 people. No sympathy for this dude.

If this 17 year old thought he was “man enough” to go to Kenosha armed, he should be “man enough” to show up in Wisconsin’ s Judicial system.

So he went there to kill people but doesn’t want to go there for face his actions. Typical.

Where did the crime take place?

He is fighting extradition, but he crossed state lines. Going there, not in support of Jacob Blake. But as a militia/medical assistant. Kyle Rittenhouse, killed 2 people and wounded another person. Now he wants sympathy, man up, and face the charges KILLER!

He killed rioters who tried to kill him. One of whicgh raped children

Maybe he should have thought about his consequences before he went? Lock him up!

He should be tried as an adult, and he should get a life sentence, lock up this kid, & charge his parents.

The liberal media has brainwashed so many people in this thread it’s embarrassing. Every video that’s public shows it was completely self defense . There’s not ounce of evidence he was there with the intent. He may face a possession which is a misdemeanor

JimLaPorta LockHimUp and throw away the key

FreeKyleRittennhouse

Welp, can’t have him be held accountable for his actions.

BUT BUT FAUX NEWS IS SCREAMING THAT THIS COWARD WAS ONLY PROTECTING 'HIS COMMUNITY', DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE LIVED IN ANOTHER STATE?

He's a hero

Now he’s crying to his mommy.

Innocent

Only guilty people don't want to show up in court to clear their name.

A complete and total coward. I am not surprised.

Don't worry white folk, they'll let your terrorist go free.

Now show the picture of him carrying the fire extinguisher behind one of the “protestors” that was setting fires to the city...you know, if you want to hold onto that last strand of journalistic integrity you have...

Just a school-shooter who found an alternative opportunity to act out his homicidal fantasies.

Oh now he wants to stay home with mommy.

' Blake, who is Black. ' ' Rittenhouse, who is white, ' This matters for some reason. I forgot why.

This boy should be set free.

The gun was illegally owned. He fired the first shot. Nobody else was armed. He is not on his own property. He was witnessed by a crowd of people. There is no case for the defense; just a crowd of criminal idiots shouting loyalty to another criminal.

Haul his ass to Wisconsin and then hang it.

It’s absolutely self defense if you bother watching the video of how things transpired.

Under Trump the US has become a failed state, almost a third world country that ironically they usually invade citing 'humanitarian reasons'.

Good

Where were all these people defending ones right to protect themselves when Ahmaud Arbery was murdered Oh wait, lemme guess. He should have let random men accost him.

Wait, he was so eager to go there before.😀

When cops stepped down Patriots will step up FREE KYLE

Guy comes into Wisconsin to “defend it” but refuses to be subject to its laws. A very bad look.

Good luck, hope Kyle loves prison

He considers Wisconsin his community but doesn’t want to be transferred there. Interesting

Absolutely unreal that this kid is still locked up, while the self-styled 'paramedic' who was trying to kill him is still walking around free.

*the murderer that crossed state lines doesn't want to obey the laws of the states he broke the laws in.

He had no problem crossing state lines with an AR-15 and ammo. Extradite his punk ass.

COWARD MAGA-NAZI

Coward. Face your accusers.

“Dictator Trump has seized power.”

Deserves life in prison and then some.

Oh...so NOW he doesn’t want to go to Wisconsin? 🙄

*Protesters. AP is so incredibly dishonest.

a teenager with walking the streets with a war weapon, the republicans_____

. Trump did a great job on pandemic ❤ ❤ Look at pandemic death/population data : USA 207,538 ÷ 331m= 0.062% Brit. 41,902 ÷ 68m= 0.062% Spain 31,118 ÷ 47m= 0.066% Belgium 9,965 ÷ 12m= 0.083% Italy 35,707 ÷ 60m= 0.060% France 31,511 ÷ 67m= 0.047% Thanks Trump ❤ ❤ ! .

Extradite the thug!

Throw this GOPTerrorist in prison!

Would his mom have to drive him back again?

FreeKyleRittennhouse

this kid going to hell

Kid shouldn’t have been playing cop with an assault rifle. Bad parenting, cominbined with a bad culture.

The AP is a communist organization

Put him under the jail

why fight it? the terrorist crossed state lines w an illegal weapon for him and committed an act of domestic terrorism send him to gitmo.

Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent.

This kid will be totally exonerated when the facts are presented in court.

Which state did the alleged crimes take place in?

Free Kyle

You should remove his face from the picture.

You misspelled “The teenager celebrated for successfully defending himself against three violent rioters who were trying to kill him...”

Accused of defending himself against two rioters

If he didn't act he would be dead today.

Assault rifles on a 17 year old c*nt

Self defense. He should

Oh, you mean the kid who was being attacked.
