Kenosha Shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, Could Face Life in Prison

This just makes me completely upset. During the protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while people were in the streets upset about what happened to Jacob Blake, a teen decided to protect the city and become a part of a militia. Well, let's get this correct, Kyle Rittenhouse is from Illinois, and not even Wisconsin and was seen in viral videos walking the streets with a rifle. It's illegal to carry a firearm under the age of 18 and he was 17-years-old. He walked and even spoke with cops while carrying his firearm and was never questioned. You see where I am going. Well during all of the chaos, at some point, Rittenhouse fired shots, killing 2 people and injuring another. But, the teen is still alive, however he has been arrested. TMZ reports the teen and could get life in prison for murder, along with 4 other felony charges. Of course his people are claiming self-defense, but on Thursday, the first person Rittenhouse shot was Joseph Rosenbaum who threw an object at Rittenhouse, but prosecutors say, it was just a plastic bag. But how do you claim self-defense in an area you weren't from, walking around with an assault rifle, while underage? Rittenhouse shot and killed another man, Anthony Huber, who apparently saw Rittenhouse on his back and Huber tried to reach for the gun and that's when a shot was let off. Rittenhouse is also charged with first-degree intentional homicide for Huber and if convicted, Rittenhouse could face life in prison just for the first-degree intentional homicide of Huber.
