Kyle Rittenhouse

Kyle Rittenhouse, born on January 3, 2003, gained widespread attention after being charged with shooting three people during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. At the time, he was 17 years old and claimed self-defense during the incident. The case sparked intense debate across the United States about gun laws, self-defense rights, and racial justice. Rittenhouse’s trial in 2021 further fueled national discourse on these issues. His acquittal on all charges in November 2021 stirred varied reactions and renewed discussions about the legal and social implications of self-defense in highly charged situations.
