Lawsuit can proceed against Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse

Source: Eyewitness News WCHS

A federal judge in Wisconsin ruled Wednesday that a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the father of a man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in 2020 can proceed against Rittenhouse, police officers and others.

The father of Anthony Huber, one of two men shot and killed by Rittenhouse, filed the lawsuit in 2021, accusing officers of allowing for a dangerous situation that violated his son's constitutional rights and resulted in his death. Anthony Huber's father, John Huber, also alleged that Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, conspired with law enforcement to cause harm to protestors. John Huber is seeking unspecified damages from city officials, officers and Rittenhouse.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman on Wednesday dismissed motions filed by Rittenhouse and the government defendants seeking to dismiss the civil rights lawsuit.

In allowing the case against Rittenhouse and the others to proceed, the judge said that Anthony Huber's death "could plausibly be regarded as having been proximately caused by the actions of the governmental defendants."

Apparently the little weasel has been hiding out in FL and was served there--well, the lawsuit was served on his sister. Little Kyle protested about that, but Judge said the summons stands.

That was a top flight high priced team. One of the people on it got her start in the OJ trial. They coached him up on testifying too I’m sure.

That’s how horrifying I regard what they’re documenting.

I know what was done. I can’t look at it. But I can damn well do whatever I can to stop it.

He had his 18 year old buddy in WI purchase the MSSA with the check he got for Covid relief.

The actual facts are enraging enough. You should learn them.

of the rifle. His buddy's Dad knew 17-year old Kyle's gun was stored there and gave him access to it that day.

was specific about how he obtained the gun that day. He said words to the effect of "I just went to the house and I just found it sitting there." So unbelievable but it was in a case with a weak prosecutor, a judge predisposed towards the defendant and a jury from one of the most crooked counties and so we got what we got.

also had no drivers license, insurance etc. and was totally illegal to be driving but that had been his behavior for months before the night of his murderous behavior. But his defense and the judge painted him as "just a nice boy who was defending himself" when in fact he was a habitual criminal who was getting a pass from his family and apparently the Antioch, Illinois and Kenosha cops.

...also refused to allow the word "victim" to be used in the trial.

Everyone at the top of this was a dirtbag.

His fame and notoriety will overcome Little Kyley as a proud boys hero and right wing celebrity.

Speaking tours and some bucks.

How's the career path coming along Little Kyley?

EMT, nurse, FedEx pilot and something else I think.
