Rittenhouse: Villain or Vigilante‪?‬ All Rev'd Up

    • Society & Culture

Kyle Rittenhouse was recently acquitted for two murders and one attempted murder during the Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin following the August 2020 shooting of Jacob Black, an unarmed Black man. Rittenhouse’s defense pled not guilty on all counts, saying that the then 17-year-old’s yielding and firing of an AR-15 rifle was actually self defense. For this reason, some are calling him a hero and vigilante. Others are calling him a white supremacist and villian. Hear the Revs’ out on their thoughts on the nationally-criticized trial, and what they predict to happen next.
