Accused murderer Kyle Rittenhouse wore a t-shirt declaring “Free As Fuck” and drinking beer during a trip to a Wisconsin bar this weekend, Insider.com reports via Yahoo.
Rittenhouse was accompanied by his over-indulgent mother, allowing him to drink beer in Wisconsin, where someone 18 and over can drink beer in a bar or restaurant as long as they’re accompanied by a parent. Rittenhouse’s mother drove him to Kenosha, Wisconsin during unrest over the police shooting of unarmed Black man Jacob Blake.
While in Kenosha, Rittenhouse obtained an AR-15 that he bought through a straw purchaser and then shot three people, killing two, while he was supposedly protecting private property. Rittenhouse is claiming he acted in self defense.
Officials say Rittenhouse was not in violation of his $2 million cash bail, paid in part by conservative advocate Mike Lindell and actor Ricky Schroeder, by drinking. He and his mother are staying in Wisconsin while they’re awaiting trial.
Since he’s been out on bail, Rittenhouse has been capitalizing on his infamy by selling “Free Kyle” merchandise online, including t-shirts and bikinis.
