quote:He is accused in the killing of two protesters and the wounding of a third. Rittenhouse faces a misdemeanor charge of underage firearm possession in Wisconsin, in addition to first-degree intentional homicide, which carries a life prison sentence. He was extradited to Wisconsin on Friday.
Rittenhouse’s case has taken on a political edge, with some conservatives portraying him as a patriot who was exercising his right to bear arms during unrest. Others see him as a domestic terrorist who incited protesters by showing up wielding a rifle.
He started to cry after learning from family members about negative social media comments over the shootings, the records say. He said he was hit in the head and neck with a baseball bat and skateboard. Medics found small scratches on his arm, but no bruising or cuts.

...and he should be tried as an adult, and if found guilty he should be sentenced as an adult. He is indeed lost. He can, perhaps, redeem himself after decades in jail to think about it, but his life trajectory is forever tainted. He will always (and justifiably) be known as the dipsh!t who did this and destroyed other people's lives for nothing.
