I see no reason why Kyle Rittenhouse can not share his story. It’s a historical event and certainly generated plenty of interest. Was it a horrendous event? Yes. Was he hounded and convicted before the trail by the media? Yes. So let him share his side. What are we afraid of? A young man caught in a bad situation. Not guilty is what a jury found when evidence was submitted. I applaud Western Kentucky University for having him share his story. Not backing down because certain groups are offended.
