Civil rights lawsuit against Kyle Rittenhouse can proceed, judge rules


A wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the father of a man fatally shot by Kyle Rittenhouse during protests in Kenosha, Wis., can move forward, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled Wednesday.

Rittenhouse shot three men at an August 2020 protest for racial justice, killing Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum. He was acquitted on all counts by a jury in 2021, but Huber’s father, John Huber, filed a civil suit over his son’s death.

Criminal not guilty. Civil - he'll never pay off what he owes but unless he's hiding assets, his estate will be zero.

At least until they stop getting what they want out of his existence, then they will happily drop him for the next 'icon du jour'. I wonder if he even knows how much of a tool he is being made into. Or if he cares. (I bet he will care once the limelight turns away. These hammy rethugs are desperate for the spotlight and they literally have a breakdown when they lose it. Just look at the orange gibbon.)
