All Rittenhouse-related news and shitposts and updates go here in one concentrated heap of toxic waste. Feel free to ignore for sanity.

(If you are out of the loop, that’s okay! Kyle Rittenhouse is a chud kid who is on trial for murdering two protesters and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the aftermath of protests over a police shooting that paralyzed Jacob Blake, a black man. There is a lot of news about the case circling around right now because the trial is ongoing.)
