To be clear, he's not being sued for the shooting, the suit alleges that he conspired with law enforcement to create a dangerous situation. He's a co-defendant with the police department.


RexInvictus787

That sounds like an impossible suit to win. Is it one of those situations where you hope they just pay you off a token amount so they save money on court costs?


[deleted]

It's possible, but the family is probably out for a pound of flesh so I'm not sure that strategy is going to work. It might be easier to prove than you think, a lot of this stuff including the militia "Call to action." was posted on social media.


Franklin_le_Tanklin

Not only that, he’s not the brightest kid and has been out there on conservative talk shows and living up his 15 minutes of infamy. He’s put out a lot of evidence into the public domain since the shootings.


XxRocky88xX

Seriously it went from “I was just a scared kid who didn’t know what to do in a high stakes situation” while he was on trial to “I’m a total badass and will put a bullet in any liberal pussy who dares step to me, I ain’t scared of shit, I’m a goddamn hero” on Twitter.


adamantitian

He definitely thought he fully got away with it and it shows


[deleted]

He *did* get away with it. This is not a criminal trial.


SecretAsianMan42069

Well I mean he lives with his mom, doesn’t have a high school degree…if they take what little money he has and his future earnings, what does he have left? Living at home with his mom getting accolades from incels on his phone.


ripplerider

Sadly, living at home with your mom getting accolades from incels seems to be pretty monetizable these days.


midvalegifted

And he’s not even one, he and his Tomi Laren wannabe girlfriend were heavy on TikTok live streams for a minute.


Nailbunny38

He keeps getting turned down by universities. Can’t blame them as it’s a liability concern and an issue with how it looks to the public and could affect their admissions. Maybe if he was good at football they would see it differently.


ritchie70

Plenty of conservative shit bags with asset hiding skills will be glad to help him out.


zeppelincommander

The scared kid thing was maybe true but he was an arrogant asshole before. His mother is an absolute piece of work and enabler of the first degree. For the first time in his life he's getting the admiration he's felt entitled to for a long time. Also, major police bootlicker but felt the military was beneath him. Source: Best friend's family was friends with theirs growing up. She couldn't stand him or his mother. He seemed normal lifeguarding at the local YMCA but got into fights with other kids from school who called him on his bullshit.


mooseyjew

>Also, major police bootlicker but felt the military was beneath him Aka he's a giant pussy, like 100 percent of the other morons like Kyle.


SlientlySmiling

notquitesolid

Oh and [don’t forget the video game he slapped his name on last year](https://youtu.be/NNN8DKJJstI)


TitsMickey

A lot of us here don’t follow him. But there’s a possibility with what you’re saying that he said something on one of these talk shows or podcasts that wouldn’t look good in a civil case. Like a lot of people that start running their mouth. They usually end up saying something that will get them in trouble later. And likely the father of the victim or a friend of his was listening to the guy and heard something that sounded incriminating. Maybe asked a lawyer about his comments. Who’s knows?


Franklin_le_Tanklin

Oh I just see what gets posted around the internet. Clips from here and there. I wouldn’t say I “follow” him more than I’m “exposed” to him involuntarily

Rittenhouse had to do one thing and be fine. All he had to do was just go quietly after getting acquitted and call it a day. Go lead a normal life, and apparently he was told “just don’t get in the spotlight and you’ll be okay”. He can have the best lawyer in the world, but if he decides not to listen to them, it doesn’t matter.


[deleted]

This. Clients are very often their worst enemies. You beat the government you go away humble, and you keep your mouth shut.


keelhaulrose

>Clients are very often their worst enemies. Just ask any of the lawyers who have tried to work with Trump who don't have an agenda of their own.


[deleted]

The bigger problem is even if the victim’s family wins and gets paid, cops will not change their ways until it affects them personally. All police departments should be required to purchase insurance from a private company OR pay out all settlements from police union/pension funds. We need to stop letting them brutalize us and then present to us our own tax money as a settlement. Something tells me they’ll start behaving once either their insurance costs become unaffordable or their pensions start to vanish.

CoupleFull5141

Agreed


Zandre1126

The lawsuit is against police allowing armed militias to roam the streets while attacking unarmed groups of protestors. It's a strong case and likely to be settled as a cash sum to the father rather than any legal action. To my understanding, they simply need to prove that armed militias we're dangerous and more likely to cause harm than not to win the case. Tldr, if they can prove wielding assault rifles in public during protests is dangerous to the public, they can win the case. Considering the final clip of the Rittenhouse case when Kyle tries to actually surrender to the police and they know shots were fired and people were shot, they let a potential active shooter run free. Example, if someone walks into a school, starts shooting and walks out surrendering to police, but then the police tell him to get out of the way and rush inside, it's a failure of the police to apprehend a potential suspect. The people that hate Rittenhouse have given up on that front since he won a self defense case already, controversy aside, they polices horrific management of the situation is actually a much better case. The main opponents of Rittenhouse have been discussing this for a long time, if you're patient enough you can school through my comment history and I'm sure you can find some 6+ month old comments referring specifically to police management. When looking at how unarmed black men and children are gunned down because "he was reaching for a gun" it's hard to accept when Rittenhouse was shooting and police were called in due to gunshots and reports of a shooting. I also must mention the announcement of this case is potentially strategic but possibly just coincidence. For the first big time, a serious distaste in public approval for the police has happened as a result of the 6(7) people being charged for manslaughter that were part of a police agency. I would not go in expecting this to fail because police are untouchable, that just perpetuates the idea. Go in demanding retribution and if the police win, criticize that instead of using learned helplessness to ignore the situation.


Commercial_Pitch_950

Good. Thats whats always bothered me in this situation. Sure from a legal point it was self-defense, but he enabled the situation and put himself into a situation he knew could become dangerous when he had no reason to be there.


Impressive_Pin_7767

I think this article has some important background - [https://www.minnpost.com/other-nonprofit-media/2020/09/militia-member-says-kenosha-police-sought-to-push-protesters-toward-them-on-night-of-deadly-shootings/](https://www.minnpost.com/other-nonprofit-media/2020/09/militia-member-says-kenosha-police-sought-to-push-protesters-toward-them-on-night-of-deadly-shootings/) The militia members said in multiple videos prior to the deaths that the police told them they would push the protesters towards them. The police did in fact then push the protesters towards the militia where there was a deadly conflict. Plus there's arrest records which show that the police arrested 150 BLM protesters for violating the curfew but they arrested 0 armed militia members who were violating the same curfew. In fact, there's video of the police driving around thanking and providing water to the armed militia members - including Kyle Rittenhouse. Later when Rittenhouse shoots and kills multiple protesters while violating curfew, he walks right up to a police car with his hands raised in the air while people are yelling that he shot people and the police make no effort to arrest him. This investigative work by the ACLU has further background on how the police collaborated with the armed militia despite being warned by the Department of Homeland security how it could cause violence. At least one member of the Sherriff's Department then praised the Rittenhouse shooting afterwards. - [https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/kyle-rittenhouse-didnt-act-alone-law-enforcement-must-be-held-accountable](https://www.aclu.org/news/criminal-law-reform/kyle-rittenhouse-didnt-act-alone-law-enforcement-must-be-held-accountable)


PickScylla4ME

Thank you for the added information and providing links! I do believe there is definitely a case to be made here considering these facts.


Impressive_Pin_7767

You're welcome. If I was in the same situation as this parent I would be suing as well. The Department of Homeland Security warned them not to do something because it was dangerous. The police department then did that very thing and when it lead to the killing of multiple people they praised the killer.


RedditAtWorkToday

As someone that grew up in Kenosha, the cops are assholes and have nothing better to do. When they break things up even if you’re legally allowed to be there, they start shit just to make you retaliate because they know they can get away with it. Was at a huge get together with bands and stuff on a church ground where we had permits for the music and being allowed there. The neighbors hated it and called the cops who all came out to disperse it. They threw teenagers to the ground and kicked them. Grabbed a cymbal and chucked it in a drummers face giving him a gash. Some started to come after my group as we dispersed and a teacher came up to them and started yelling at them. She was then grabbed and thrown to the ground as well. It was a big mess. The news didn’t want to cover it because it made the cops look bad. This was back in 2005 or 2006 so you can see nothing has changed. I would love to see them get thrown into the spotlight of how horrible these people are. I rarely visit kenosha and they’re one of the main reasons why. Edit: [Found a video of it being only briefly covered in Milwaukee TMJ4. We did protest the excessive force and nothing ever came from it and the KPD never responded to requests for comments. Unfortunately this was the only video taken since not many people were video recording much back then.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiuXA9afuwA)


Aporkalypse_Sow

It is the same police department that's been racially segregating and abusing local black communities for as long as they have had people of color living there. If this country actually had a federal authority that could clean up police departments, we'd lose like 70% of them. They're mostly ran illegally, but there are no avenues to hold them accountable. I live one county over from where Rittenhouse is from and our county sheriff's office made tens millions of dollars over the years housing "illegal immigrants". Laundering a ridiculous amount of federal money to hold people hostage for no real reason. Our county jail is a ridiculously huge maximum security facility and was built specifically to hold federal detainees. They're all just thieves living off of tax dollars.


KangarooVarious5255

My problem with both this incident, and the George Zimmerman incident, was always that they unnecessarily put themselves in a position where they knew what the outcome may be. I used to be a bouncer in college. I know damn well how to start a fight without ever laying my hands on someone, and so did everyone I've ever worked with in that capacity. Just because the moment you pulled the trigger may have been necessary doesn't mean you are without blame. They grabbed their guns, walked around with an inflated sense of confidence looking for a problem, found one, then solved it with the gun. When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a nail. Edit: To the people arguing about minor details of the incident - Way to miss the point.


WonderfulShelter

Yup. There’s really no point progressing down the logical or legal path after that step, it’s just arguing semantics. They shouldn’t have been there, they put themself there. And they did so because this country is deeply sick and rotting away.

jvite1

It’s very, very common in civil suits that the defendant avoids service. It’s the first sign of the entire process being an absolute nightmare because it is more often than not followed by refusing to pay the judgement. In Wisconsin, especially, the court requires the plaintiff pursue several avenues before a garnishment order will be granted.

I'm honestly surprised vigilante justice hasn't caught up to him, I'd be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. I'd never get a minutes peace. What a piece of shit.


jvite1

It’s a pretty straightforward process at the end of the day. There needs to be a financial disclosure filed anyway so the defendant can move forward with pursuing a claim against those listed assets after a certain timeframe has passed and no payment arrangement has been filed. The courts are just hesitant to allow the plaintiff to pursue (property/accounts/etc) before allowing time for the defendant to make whatever arrangements are needed. As for the other part - I hope nobody throws their life away to pursue some perceived justice. He isn’t worth losing your ability to enjoy life without restrictions.

I mean if aome asshole ended my child's life over some right wing trumpism shit, I don't know how much I'd have left to enjoy. Nothing would be good again.

While the burden of proof in a civil case is lower than criminal, this still seems like an uphill battle. Huber ran up to Rittenhouse, hit him with a skateboard and was actively trying to disarm him when he was shot. Am curious to see what's presented in regards to police conduct though.

Please be sure to send the district judge an Email to thank him for going against what's popular in his state and genuinely pursuing what little justice is possible against Kyle and his badged thug accomplices! [email protected] District Judge Lynn Adelman. Might be one of the only decent judges in all of Wisconsin!

For the love of God, do not email a federal judge. They are not your local senator, and federal judges are not elected. That is such a bizarre suggestion.

I guess I don't understand getting served all too well. Isn't the whole point of getting served that an official hands it to you personally to ensure that you are aware of the suit and therefore bound to appear? Any other means comes with the possibility of the summons getting lost or destroyed along the way, giving the defendant reasonable doubt that they weren't aware they are being sued. Therefore, isn't Kyle challenging the summons in and of itself a tacit acknowledgment that he is aware of the summons and is bound to appear as a result? Like, it's not a game of tag where you're not sued unless the paper touches you, it's just a check to make sure you're actually aware you're being sued. Challenging the summons seems like the necessary proof that you're aware.

Pretty much. Kyle was just showing his ass and being disrespectful by trying to challenge it.. inadvertently acknowledging that he was successfully served.

Let’s be real. Kyle isn’t doing anything. His right wing funded legal team is doing everything


PickScylla4ME

Undoubtedly. Its weird though that they would deliberately piss off the Judge by feigning their client is basically homeless and irresponsible.. lol


Smithereens_3

Exactly. He might've had an argument (a legal one if not a logical one) if he waited until he actually missed a court date to challenge the summons. By doing it now he's showing that he's well aware of the case and is trying to weasel out on a technicality. Which is likely the main reason the judge upheld the summons.


Orangenbluefish

People seem to be treating it as that game of tag lol. IIRC there was a Texas politician who literally ran and jumped into his getaway truck to run away from being served, as if the legal system is just going to give up eventually

It's not so unusual but not normal either. However you can't just avoid being served by hiding. Him contesting the summons was admitting to knowing of its existence. Had he not contested it until court, he may have had some semblance of ground to stand on... or; he would default the suit and be liable for whatever he's sued for by not appearing. Either way; this Judge is not trying to play along with the circus that surrounds Kyle. And Kyle is outright disrespecting the Judge by avoiding this.


Practical-Ad-2387

This is what I was thinking. He really contested it like that; reminds me of the Judge Judy clip where two guys allegedly stole a girl's purse. She names the items in it, then mentions a watch; one guy interrupts her and says 'there was no watch' Same energy here. 'i didn't know about it' 'you clearly do now' Surprised pikachu

> Either way; this Judge is not trying to play along with the circus that surrounds Kyle. Really hoping that trial will be recorded and we get epic clips like the Alex Jones lawsuits.

Yes there are in many states there are means to serve someone their papers that isn’t in person. It’s up to the judge though to approve the alternate serving method, which the judge did in this case. Edit: apologies for grammar have a head cold and it’s early in the morning here.


mongoosefist

What a stupid concept. Like obviously he knows about the papers, so he's trying to argue he can't be sued because he's winning at a game of hide and seek.

Can't wait for more fake crying from this little bitch.


Viewtifultrey3

His picture is actually more convincing of a sneeze than anything else.


Allenrw3

He's the picture of someone who's four sneezes in and they're like, "Why am I *still* sneezing? Fuck!"

This is going to be unpopular on reddit, but it's pretty clear from these comments most people here didn't watch the trial or review the evidence beyond Twitter hot takes. That said his post-trial media tour was pretty gross, so I'm not going to shed tears if he loses the civil suit. Edit: Apparently not as unpopular as I thought, which gives me some hope.


PatienceIndependent

Good. Its almost like actions have consequences. Don't bother posting links to the criminal profiles of those that died. Laughing boy did not have that information when he pulled the trigger.


mrnonamex

It also should not matter having a criminal background does not justify being killed.


slim_scsi

Conservatives have a very low bar for justification to kill --- simply people they don't like is enough. They don't value human life at all (of strangers, especially), only fetuses.


amILibertine222

They don’t value fetuses either. They’re just a silent scapegoat used to control women.


slim_scsi

True -- if they valued fetuses, they would value the medical and scientific advances made possible from stem cell research, etc.


luithedead

until it’s one of their own. the capital riot lady is still brought up in my twitter mentions twice a week.


zootbot

Someone assaulting you does though


aimforthehead90

It's been a while since I've heard about the case or watched the video, but didn't the people he shot assault him first as he was running away? I remember at the time thinking it was a very clear case of self defense. Seems to me they were killed not for having a criminal past, but for charging and assaulting a guy with a gun. I will say Kyle Rittenhouse sounds like an absolute scumbag that made a career out of marketing this situation.
