“Wisconsin is a so-called “open carry” state when it comes to civilian firearms. The text of its disorderly conduct law criminally bans “violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct under circumstances in which the conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance.” But absent a showing of “criminal or malicious intent,” a person may not be charged with disorderly conduct “for carrying or going armed with a firearm . . . without regard to whether the firearm is loaded or the firearm . . . is concealed or openly carried.”
Think about that. Being publicly “violent” or “abusive” is a potential crime in Wisconsin — unless it entails waiving around a loaded firearm.” https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/582376-rittenhouse-case-what-counts-as-self-defense-with-open-carry-firearms
Kyle Rittenhouse attorney says he ‘did not approve’ Tucker Carlson’s film crew following them at trial https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/11/20/kyle-rittenhouse-tucker-carlson-documentary-richards/
Hours after Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges Friday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced that he would not only interview the teen on Monday but also had a film crew following the 18-year-old throughout the murder trial as part of an upcoming documentary for Fox Nation.
“Kyle Rittenhouse testified in court that he drove himself from his residence in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 24, 2020, the day before he shot and killed two men at a protest that became violent.
According to court testimony and police records, the AR-15 style rifle that he says he used in self-defense during confrontations with the men had been stored at a friend’s house in Kenosha and was not with him in the car when he made the roughly 20-mile drive to Wisconsin from his home state.
In a Nov. 14 CNN interview, however, Democratic Rep. Karen Bass of California falsely claimed that Wendy Rittenhouse, Kyle’s mother, drove her armed son across the Illinois-Wisconsin border to aid law enforcement during the rowdy demonstration against police brutality.” (FactCheck.org) https://www.factcheck.org/2021/11/rittenhouse-testified-he-drove-himself-to-kenosha-without-weapon/
The judge praised the jury, saying he “couldn’t have asked for a better jury.”
