Immediately, Rittenhouse’s bat signal was met by supporters of the now-22-year-old MAGA supporter. But on the other side, Black folks online weren’t as quick to congratulate him on his life accomplishments…

In 2020, Rittenhouse became a household name when he was only 17 years old. That’s when he drove from his home in Illinois to a Black Lives Matter protest in Wisconsin, we previously told you. The pro-gun teen brought along a medical kit and a semiautomatic rifle, which he would use to shoot at least three people– leaving two dead.
Despite video evidence and eye-witness accounts insisting Rittenhouse’s attack was premeditated, he was acquitted of all charges. In court, his lawyers argued self defense. He’s since become of a darling for pro-gun conservatives and advocates of the Second Amendment. He has close ties to President Donald Trump and late podcaster Charlie Kirk.

“If you show this to literally anyone else in the world besides an American they would find it deranged that ppl take wedding pics with guns,” @jeremybonina tweeted.
@ConceptRaps took issue with Rittenhouse declaring he’s “in the fight.” The user asked, “What does that mean exactly ? Like protests ? Or politics ? Or in the fight to stay relevant?”
Rittenhouse took a long break from the spotlight following his trial. Still, he’s maintained his presence through partnerships with Turning Point USA– the organization founded by Charlie Kirk.
“Always shoot your shot,” @wil_da_beast630 joked online.
@notkiannabanks said, “N***a look like an imaginary friend.”
“Tool bag had to make sure he had a gun,” @GodDamnItDale said. “I wish them worst.”
