Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder charges but is headed back to court, where the parents of Anthony Huber, one of the men the then-17-year-old killed during a Black Lives Matter protest, seek justice.
Rittenhouse has tried to have the case dismissed on the grounds that he wasn’t served directly.
Instead, papers were served to his sister, after attorneys and private investigators reportedly put over 100 hours into searching for him, prompting the judge to deny his request and declare that he was “almost certainly evading service.”
Huber was reportedly trying to disarm Rittenhouse, who he had just seen shoot another man (Joseph Rosenbaum), using his skateboard to hit the teenager in hopes of making him drop his rifle, when Rittenhouse responded by firing on and killing Huber.
Rittenhouse also faces a similar lawsuit from the third man he shot, Gaige Grosskreutz, who was not killed but required reconstructive surgery, and who also saw himself as acting in defense of his own life and the lives of others on the night he was shot.

Rittenhouse isn’t the only one being pursued for damages — Kenosha officials and police officers are also named as defendants, for what Huber’s attorney describes as “creat[ing] a powderkeg situation,” and U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman seemed to affirm that they may bear responsibility.
“In allowing the case against Rittenhouse and the others to proceed,” PBS reported, “the judge said that Anthony Huber’s death ‘could plausibly be regarded as having been proximately caused by the actions of the governmental defendants.'”

Now Kyle is pushing his GiveSendGo account, preparing for his fans to fund his legal defense, and potentially any fines or other costs that may be levied.
Instead, he appears on right-wing media, and has even been enlisted to headline “free speech” rallies (ironically promoting boycotts of venues that don’t want to host him).
