Nearly a 12 months after he was acquitted of all counts for capturing three individuals, killing two of them, Kyle Rittenhouse says he is launching a YouTube channel.
Rittenhouse on Sunday posted a brief video and wrote within the caption that he plans on “creating content material about weapons and speaking in regards to the 2nd modification.”
The teenager fatally shot two males and wounded a 3rd after going to protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020 armed with a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle. The protests erupted in Kenosha after a police officer shot Jacob Blake, leaving him paralyzed. The officer was not charged.
Rittenhouse was charged with murder and tried murder within the Aug. 25, 2020, killings of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz.
Rittenhouse claimed self-defense, saying he was being attacked when he fired.
A jury on Nov. 19 discovered Rittenhouse not responsible of all counts.
A message to Rittenhouse, 19, looking for remark was not instantly returned Monday.
In June, he tweeted that he was planning to attend Blinn School in Texas, with a plan to attend Texas A&M in 2023.
