So how is he a racist ?
Rittenhouse was 17 years old when he committed the alleged crimes.
He is a cop fetishist and a devotee of Donald trump .
He was photographed celebrating with an alleged white supremacist gang while awaiting trial.
Rittenhouse chose to travel from his home in Illinois to Kenosha that night, and has claimed he intended to serve as a "medic" (although he has no relevant training) and to help protect private property during the disturbances that took place in response to the police shooting of a Black man named Jacob Blake.
Rittenhouse was armed with an AR-15 assault-style rifle.
Rittenhouse is claiming the right of self-defense even though he chose to insert himself into the tumultuous events of that summer night in Wisconsin.
Witnesses for the prosecution have testified that Rittenhouse instigated the life-threatening situation, in which he then claimed the need to use lethal force to protect himself.
Rittenhouse made a brief attempt to surrender after the shootings to law enforcement, who ignored him.
