Kyle Rittenhouse Begs For Money After Judge OKs Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Kenosha Killer
A lawsuit by the family of a man who Rittenhouse shot and killed racial justice protesters in 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsincan move forward, a judge ruled.
Kyle Rittenhouse quickly began soliciting donations hours after a wrongful death lawsuit was given the green light to move forward.
It was the latest instance of Rittenhouse shamelessly asking for money to help pay for legal fees that are likely mounting in the face of yet another credible lawsuit against the young man who was acquitted of murder for killing racial justice protesters in 2020 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman rejected efforts by Rittenhouse’s legal team to dismiss a civil lawsuit brought by the family of Anthony Huber, one of the men killed during the protest that centered on the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Huber’s father sued Rittenhouse in 2021 as part of a larger lawsuit alleging local law enforcement’s nefarious role in the shooting that killed his son, killed another man, Joseph Rosenbaum, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz.
The Associated Press reported that Judge Adelman said during her ruling allowing the lawsuit to proceed that Huber’s death “could plausibly be regarded as having been proximately caused by the actions of the governmental defendants.”
While Rittenhouse’s lawyer tried to play it cool and shrug off the ruling as a simple procedural decision that won’t stop a predicted acquittal, his client took to Twitter singing another tune.
“We still have a long fight ahead of us this ruling was disappointing but expected. I respect the judges decision. but hope that as this lawsuit against me continues that truth will be brought to light,” Rittenhouse tweeted last Thursday morning before subtly appealing for financial assistance. “I am hopeful and thankful for all of your continuous support as I face this.”
Shortly afterward, that attempted subtlety became much more conspicuous.
“You can help me fight this lawsuit by donating at https://givesendgo.com/KyleRittenhouse,” Rittenhouse added in a subsequent tweet.
Minutes later, he retweeted his own tweet asking for money, raising his solicitation efforts to prime begging status.
