Kуlе Rittenhouse | Where Are They Now? | Is He A Villain or Hero?

Back in August of 2020, a black man named Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, leaving the young man paralyzed and kicking off multiple nights of rioting as a response. It was on the third night of these riots that 17-year-old Kyle fired on three men with a military-style semi-automatic weapon, ending life of two and seriously harming the third. Upon hearing about what had happened, the entire country was upset, after all, few cases touch upon so many aspects of America’s most heavily contended fault-lines: Second Amendment rights, the question of self-defense, and fight at racial justice protests being but a few. To some, Kyle is simply a champion of weapon rights who placed himself in the line of danger to protect a community that wasn’t even his. To many others, he’s the personification of a vigilante gone wrong, someone who came to Kenosha to enact his fantasies of being a law enforcement officer and wound up people in the process. Now, after having been arrested and tried for his crimes, Kyle has been released an innocent man. So, uh... what just happened? The answer to that question and a lot more are in our newest episode of Where Are They Now!
