The Kyle Rittenhouse incident, which occurred in August 2020 during the Kenosha protests following the shooting of Jacob Blake, remains a highly contentious issue. At the time, 17-year-old Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-15 rifle, crossed state lines to assist in "protecting local businesses". Amidst the chaos, he shot and killed two people and injured another, claiming self-defense. His trial in November 2021 drew widespread attention and became a flashpoint for debates about gun violence, vigilantism, and racial justice. Rittenhouse was ultimately acquitted on all charges, further intensifying the divide between those who saw him as a hero defending himself and those who viewed him as a reckless vigilante.

Join me, Juan Collado Díaz, alongside Andre Cato, returning guest Vanessa Jones, and the all Black and Constitutionalist Ed Bar, for an insightful and respectful discussion about the Kenosha protests and Mr. Rittenhouse's actions. We will delve deep into various topics including the issue of bad parenting by Mr. Rittenhouse's mother, analyzing how she could have prevented this traumatic experience for her son as well as the families of the deceased.

Today's guests are experts in various topics which makes them the perfect team for this topic. Vanessa, drawing from her background as a social worker, will shed light on the negligence displayed by Mrs. Rittenhouse. Ed Bar, with a constitutional perspective, will provide insights into Mr. Rittenhouse's presence at the scene; and lastly, Andre will share his in-depth religious perspective, contributing to a comprehensive conversation about this incident.

It is important to note that while these viewpoints add value to the discussion, they do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the Político with Juan Collado Díaz team who operate behind the scenes.
