So it turns out Kyle Rittenhouse's mother (see photo) drove him to the protests with the gun she bought him. I was watching all the vids from that night & the 1 one where the cops hand out water was odd to me because Kyle is different - he didn't pick up cues like the others.
His mother knows he's like this, right? Of course she does. She also took a protection order out on a kid in his class for calling him dumb or stupid. At some point she buys him an AR15 which is illegal.
The cops come by before the shooting & thank them for helping; offer them some water, say they can give them a few bottles but need to keep some 4 themselves. Every1 else stays back. Kyle is walking around in the street towards them looking for water. https://twitter.com/RetiredMaybe/status/1298695580382892034?s=19
This kid is half clueless for whatever reason, is being raised by a single mother who is living vicariously through her son, & is probably coddling him right now as she doesn't give a crap about what he did. You know it was her he called when he said, "I just get someone".
It feels like the mother son dynamic here is pretty disturbing. I hope she faces the same if not MORE charges than him.
