Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old who was acquitted of charges related to a shooting incident during protests in Kenosha, has been a focal point of political and legal debates. Many supporters, including libertarians and legal professionals, argue that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense and was wrongfully prosecuted. His case has sparked discussions about the right to self-defense and the influence of political beliefs on public support.
