Kyle Rittenhouse

A judge on Friday granted Kyle Rittenhouse’s request to delay his extradition hearing to September 25.

The Illinois judge postponed a decision on whether 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse should be returned to Wisconsin to face charges after he killed two men in what now appears to be acts of self defense, reported AP.

Rittenhouse was arrested on Wednesday and is currently being held at a Lake County juvenile center.

The teen was hit with 6 charges on Thursday:

• 1)1st-Degree Reckless Homicide
  2)1st-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety.
  3)1st-Degree Intentional Homicide
  4) Attempt 1st-Degree Intentional Homicide
  5)1st-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety
  6) Possession Dangerous Weapon (Misd.)

AP reported:

A judge postponed a decision Friday on whether a 17-year-old should be returned to Wisconsin to face charges in the killing of two people on the streets of Kenosha during unrest following the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake.

The Illinois judge granted Kyle Rittenhouse’s request to delay the extradition hearing to Sept. 25 during a brief hearing that was streamed online. Rittenhouse did not appear.

Assistant public defender Jennifer Snyder, who was representing Rittenhouse, asked for a delay in the extradition hearing, so her client would have time to hire a private attorney. She said Rittenhouse had spoken by phone with his mother since his arrest.

Lee Filas, spokesman for the Lake County, Illinois, state’s attorney, declined to comment on whether other charges were being considered for anyone who may have acted as an accomplice to Rittenhouse.

Noted attorney Lin Wood defended Rittenhouse and said the teen was acting in self defense.

“From my standpoint, it’s important that the message be clear to other Americans who are attacked that there will be legal resources available in the event false charges are brought against them,” Lin Wood said. “Americans should never be deterred from exercising their right of self-defense.”

Lin Wood is correct.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum after Rosenbaum chased the teen, threw something at him and tried to take away his firearm.

According to the criminal complaint, the medical examiner found that Rosenbaum was shot in the groin, back and hand. He also suffered a superficial graze wound on his left thigh and a graze wound to the side of his head.

Rosenbaum was also a convicted sex offender involving a crime with a minor.

26-year-old Anthony Huber beat Kyle Rittenhouse with a skateboard before he was shot dead.

Rittenhouse was being chased by a BLM mob when he tripped and fell. At this point, Huber bashed him in the back of the head/neck with a skateboard. Rittenhouse defended himself and shot Huber in the chest. Huber immediately dropped and died.

26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz had his arm partially blown off after he aggressively rushed at 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who had just tripped and fallen while being chased by the BLM mob.

Grosskreutz had a gun in his hand when he ran up to Rittenhouse, so in self defense, the 17-year-old discharged his weapon, blew off part of Grosskreutz’s arm, saving his own life.

Rittenhouse was about to get a bullet to the head, but he acted quickly and shot Grosskreutz in self defense.

A friend of Gaige’s said that his only regret was not being able to kill 17-year-old Rittenhouse.

“So the kid shot gaige as he drew his weapon and gaige retreated with his gun in hand. I just talked to Gaige Grosskreutz too his only regret was not killing the kid and hesitating to pull the gun before emptying the entire mag into him. Coward,” a friend of Grosskreutz wrote in a chat.

This statement by Grosskreutz’s friend is just more evidence that Rittenhouse acted in self defense.
