“I’m being sued again for defending my life.”
On Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse announced that he was being sued by the estate of Joeseph Rosenbaum for “wrongful death” in connection to the 2020 incident where Rittenhouse shot Resenbaum and two others in self-defense during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
According to court filings, along with Rittenhouse, the Rosenbaum estate is suing Kenosha police officials, multiple county sheriff’s departments, the city of Kenosha, and multiple county governments for “compensatory and punitive damages.”
The suit goes on to allege that law enforcement deputized a group of armed individuals that Rittenhouse was part of and “conspired with them, ratified their actions by letting them patrol the streets, armed with deadly weapons, to mete out justice as they saw fit.” It went on to claim law enforcement “made plans to funnel the protestors toward the armed individuals ‘deal with them.'”
“As a result, defendant Rittenhouse fired his assault rifle indiscriminately multiple times at citizens on the street,” the filings claim about the incident.
In a statement posted on X, Rittenhouse said, “I’m being sued again for defending my life.”
