Kyle Rittenhouse: MIA

Prosecutors don't know Kyle Rittenhouse's whereabouts, seek arrest warrant

This young man has violated the terms of his release and is now missing in action. Warrant now out for his arrest. Bond increased $200,000.
One has to read the whole story. He does not appear to be on the run and his actions are not totally unreasonable:

"Rittenhouse's defense attorney filed a response to the prosecutor's motion, objecting to the bond increase.

Mark Richards said Rittenhouse and his family have received death threats since the Kenosha shootings.

He said they moved into a "safe house" and deleted their social media accounts.

Richards claimed upon Rittenhouse's release, he was told not to disclose the location of his "safe house."

He said a member of the defense team contacted prosecutors to provide Rittenhouse's new address if it was filed under seal because of safety concerns.


Richards said the prosecutor refused that request.

He said he would provide Rittenhouse's current address if it were kept confidential by the court.

Prosecutors said that decision would be left up to a judge.

Rittenhouse's next scheduled court appearance is March 10 but a hearing on the new motion could be held sooner."

TLDR: His family received death threats, they moved to an unknown "safe house". His attorneys said that they would reveal his address if they promised to keep the location secret. The prosecution has said no so far.

He is not under the Witness Protection program, he cannot just change his address and not inform the courts,on the run or not. He still violated the conditions of his release, and his lawyers are complicit with it.

Do you think that he has not received death threats? Perhaps he should be protected right now. And since he is charged with a crime I do not think that applies.

Me too. But it seems that he has not run off. Lawyers get in big trouble if they lie for their clients. There would be no profit in lying for Rittenhouse.
Seems he has not been "home" since before Dec 6th, 2020...

Wendy Rittenhouse spoke virtually with her attorney from an undisclosed location.
Her son faces six charges in Kenosha County.

Prosecutors said he shot and killed two protesters in August and injured a third.

The 17-year-old Antioch, Illinois, boy fought extradition to Wisconsin.

"He's with me, he's not leaving my side," she said. "Kyle is a strong young man, I couldn't be prouder of him."​

Kyle Rittenhouse's mom speaks about why he was in Kenosha
Of course, it was not until February that the Prosecutor got a clue:

Seems this prosecutor is upset that he was not going to be able able to add bond violations to Rittenhouses charges:

So he corrected his error with more conditions:



Now my big question is:

If Kyle Rittenhouse is a feared for his life over death threats, why was he in a bar Jan 5th, 2021?​

Because he is not all that bright?

Now on a serious note he does have a half decent argument for self defense. A break down of he video evidence shows that he did not fire first. But what the heck was he doing with a gun in the first place? And at least one that opposed him and had a gun was a felon that should not have had a gun either. The whole thing is a mess with people needing to go to prison on both sides. This is not a case of "very good people on both sides". It is very bad people on both sides. Even if he gets off on the murder charges there are other charges that he could be hit with. And it should be a crime to be a "useful idiot" which is what he really was for the right.

Got that right.

An illegally obtained fire arm at that:

Dominick Black, of Kenosha, was charged with two counts of intentionally giving a dangerous weapon to a person under the age of 18, causing death.
Man charged with illegally buying gun for Kyle Rittenhouse

And there were armed people on the other side as well. Wiki has a nice write up. The one person that I was referring to was the third person that was shot. He did not die but he was armed:

"Third major confrontation and Rittenhouse's departure
Gaige Grosskreutz approached Rittenhouse while he was still on the ground but stopped and put his hands up when Huber was shot. According to a complaint filed by the Kenosha County Clerk of Courts, Grosskreutz appeared to have a handgun.[47] Grosskreutz later confirmed he was holding a handgun.[48] When Grosskreutz moved again towards Rittenhouse, Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in the arm, severing most of his bicep.[49][50][51]"

Kenosha unrest shooting - Wikipedia


If you read the series of events he does seem to have a case for self defense. Of course having a gun when one shouldn't makes one "stupid brave". One will do things that one would not do if not armed. He would almost certainly not have been that close to protesters from the other side if he was not armed. He has to be held at least partially responsible for the deaths that occurred even if he did not start the attacks.

EDIT: It has been alleged that all three of his victims were felons. In turns out that is not true. The one armed member had been charged with a felony once, but the charges were dropped or lowered. He was never convicted as a felon. I do not know if he had a permit to carry a handgun or if one is needed in Wisconsin so I cannot say that he was illegally armed. I had heard earlier that he was a felon, but that does not appear to be the case:

What’s True and False About Kyle Rittenhouse’s Alleged Victims


Which also explains why he was not arrested.

Thats what I got as well. Its just his location is being held in confidence.

Attorneys say they were advised by law enforcement not to share where Rittenhouse would be living with court

He shouldn't of even been able to be released on bail, but of course his privilege allowed him to be. He is a menace to society and I hope they give him the death penalty.

From your link:

“It is noteworthy that the State has only now decided to file a motion to increase bond in this case, despite having corresponded with Attorney Chirafisi regarding the change in Kyle’s residence over two months ago,” Richards wrote.

Richards stressed that Rittenhouse has made all his court appearances and is in constant contact with him. He provided the safe house address to the judge as part of a separate motion requesting it be sealed.
Pretty damning for the prosecutor...

Maybe he received one of those unpublished pardons.

Why shouldn't he have gotten bail? He may get off of all murder charges since it does appear to be self defense. And yes, if an insane mob attacks an armed man, or boy in this case, and he shoots some of them, it is still self defense. He still should get charged with illegally having a weapon. But that does not merit a life sentence.

I agree.
Based upon the evidence I have seen he acted in self defense.

That's pretty disgusting.
Her son played Rambo vigilante, killed two people, and she couldn't be more proud of him?

He shouldn't have even been there. You don't strike a match in a fireworks factory and blame the gunpowder when an explosion happens.

I agree. That is why I am against him getting off Scot free. But I have a fear that this is a case where the political left will cause him to be set free.
