When I was 17 and living with my mother, I stayed in the basement masturbating furiously and shit-posting on 4chan all day like a normal teenager.![]()

A 17-year-old was arrested Wednesday morning in connection with the fatal shooting of two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin the night before. Kyle Rittenhouse was taken into custody in Antioch, Illinois, where he lives with his mother. The arrest comes after multiple videos linked the teen to the shooting in Kenosha where three people in total were shot with two of them dying.
Rittenhouse, who is a white “Blue Lives Matter” advocate, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and is labeled a “fugitive from justice.” In the complaint from the Lake County, Illinois Clerk of Courts public records, it says that this label was issued because he “fled the state of Wisconsin with intent to avoid prosecution for that offense.”
Despite court records indicating that Rittenhouse tried to flee, video footage that has circulated of the protestors and armed men around the shooting may tell a different story. In a video taken after the shooting, someone who looks like Rittenhouse is seen walking with his hands in the air towards several police vehicles, which drive right by him. It is not yet confirmed if Rittenhouse attempted to surrender himself after the shooting.
But that is not the only camera to have allegedly captured Rittenhouse Tuesday night. In videos across social media, he can be seen carrying a large rifle, and earlier in the night, he openly identified himself and his motives for being present at the protests to a reporter from the Daily Caller — a right-wing news site.
“So people are getting injured and our job is to protect this business,” he tells the camera. “And part of my job is to also help people. If there is somebody hurt I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle because I need to protect myself, obviously. I also have my med kit.” Rittenhouse also confirmed that he attended the protest to defend properties in Kenosha from any vandalism. . . .
. . . In a press conference on Wednesday, Kenosha Police Chief David Beth said that protestors should not have been out past curfew, and that if they weren’t, “perhaps the situation that unfolded would not have happened.” Beth also seemed to deflect blame from Rittenhouse for shooting and killing two protestors saying, “A 17-year-old individual from Antioch, Illinois was involved in the use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict was in place. The result of it was two people are dead.”
Kids these days are intense.
