Photos of Kyle Rittenhouse at Wisconsin Bar Surface on Social Media
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Accused murderer Kyle Rittenhouse was spotted at a Wisconsin bar this week wearing a shirt that shamelessly read, "Free as Fuck." Photos of the outing immediately began circulating on social, sparking outrage among Twitter users who say the teen is yet another example of white privilege.
According to Kenosha News , the 18-year-old was photographed at Pudgy's Pub in Mount Pleasant on Tuesday, just hours after he pleaded not guilty to all charges in connection to a deadly shooting back in August. The pictures show Rittenhouse seemingly unfazed by his criminal charges, as he smiles and holds a beer while standing next to a pool table.
On Friday, the Mount Pleasant Police Department was reportedly notified about a video that showed the Illinois teen inside the establishment. Officers looked into the footage and determined Rittenhouse had visited Pudgy's Pub with a parent between 2:25 to 4:25 p.m. His arraignment took place at around 1 p.m. that day.
Many questioned whether Rittenhouse had violated the conditions of his $2 million bond, as he was seen holding alcohol despite being underage. But as pointed out by Kenosha News , those under 18 can legally drink at bars if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
"Contact was made with the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office, and after explaining the situation, his actions and presence in the establishment did not constitute a violation of his bond agreement," Lt. Scott Geyer of the Mount Pleasant Police Department told Kenosha News .
Rittenhouse has been charged with fatally shooting two men and wounding a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, back in August. The killings took place during a night of unrest sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, claimed he had traveled to Kenosha from his home in Illinois with the intention of protecting businesses from potential rioters. He was seen walking around the streets carrying an assault-style rifle before a confrontation with demonstrators turned deadly.
Rittenhouse and his legal team have claimed he was acting in self-defense on the night of the shootings. He is now facing a number of charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide. His trial is expected to begin March 29.

That’s some wonderful parenting, huh? Let’s cement our son’s horrible image by turning him into the next affluenza case. Soon Kyle will know the word ‘fuck’ much more intimately than he would prefer.
living it up while he can, new meat. bwah ha ha ha
Stuck on stupid......
Unbelievable.
Hasn't Trump pardoned this guy already?
If it were a federal charge he would have already pardoned him, and any subsequent murders he committed as well.
It's a state charge, Trump can't touch it.
Doesn't Wisconsin lose federal funding for not enforcing the federal age limit on alcohol? Yes, I know that the Kenosha News reported that a minor can drink in a bar if a parent is with him/her...but I have never heard of that in any other state. Every state I have been in won't even allow a minor in a bar
Who goes to a bar . . . with their mom?
Special kinds of people.
I did...after I turned 21....
he's in training to expand the family business into the state correctional institution.
I thought it was crazy too. I did not know of this law myself. Most states can arrest parents who allow underage drinking in their home, and Wisconsin is letting them do it right there in a public setting.
Think about it..... It's Wisconsin. The same state that thought Scott Walker was a good idea.
That Wisconsin law has been on the books for quite some time now.
Since before Walker, so your lame attempt to somehow drag Walker into it falls waaaaaay short.
When the Democrats ran Wisconsin, was it all perfect then?
I just figured it's because Wisconsin likes its beer. I have known a few people from Wisconsin, tho, they were all weird. One of roommates in tech school was from WI and my daughter's FIL is from there
I'm living in WI just across the border from MN. I'm originally from MN. I've lived in & visited many states and one thing I've found true most everywhere is that PEOPLE are weird. If I could pick up and move I'd move out to one of the smaller cities in the Pacific Northwest because that area is spectacularly beautiful and I like rain.
I know I'm weird. I've lived in few different places myself. If I could choose where to live right now, it would be Florida along the panhandle
According to an
Breakdown of Laws Regarding Underage Drinking by State
The following list outlines exceptions to the legal drinking age including which states have specific exceptions allowing for minors to possess and/or consume alcohol legally: 5
That makes my head spin. I had no idea that so many states had so much alcohol consumption leniency.
Thanks for the info. So I wasn't breaking the law all those years ago...
Which to me is strange considering NyQuil and Listerine both contain alcohol; while people generally don't drink Listerine, NyQuil is for 12 years of age or older.
There is a neighborhood in Chicago which has over the years been notorious for underage drinking. The cops sometimes send undercover people in to try and get served without id. A number of bars have been shut down for a period at one time or another for underage drinking.
When one of my nephews was 18 he started playing 16" softball on a men's team ( these teams are often sponsored by bars) and after a particular game he asked me if I wanted to go back to the bar with them for a beer. I asked him how he was going to get served in the bar since he was only 18 (got to be 21 to get served in Illinois). He started laughing and pointed to one of his friends who was with us, another 18 year old. "He's the guy who checks the ID's at the door." The guy who owned the bar had 18 year olds working as the bouncer and as the one who checked id's for underage. I should say that the bouncer kid was a big guy who could pass for 21 at the time.
Other than pearl clutching moral scolds, who is supposed to care about this?
The friends and families of the innocent people he murdered, for one. Non-deplorables for another. I see what camp you’re in.
I don't think you know what those words mean.
Oh, right. I forgot about Kyle being assaulted with a plastic bag while he was openly breaking laws.
When you have to mislead about the circumstances surrounding the shootings, you defeat your own point.
A gun was shot at him as tried to run away from the first man who attacked him.. An honest accounting of the night would address that. You, of course didn't.
There is no misleading when it comes to this killer Kyle Rittenhouse.
No guns were shot at this killer.
He killed two people in cold blood.
This killer was not attacked by anyone.
What's really scary is you believe this.
It's true. Any one with any sense would know that.
A gun was shot at him as tried to run away from the first man who attacked him.
Wow. Is that the line Russian trolls / Q is pushing now? Face it - Kyle is fucked as fuck.
that the line Russian trolls / Q is pushing now
I suppose when you get that far left, even the New York Times=Q. What did the Dailykos diaries tell you happened?
Kyle is fucked as fuck.
Not as long as the law is fairly applied. .
He really looks upset about having killed two people...
I was unlucky enough that i had 6 and a half months that i could legally buy booze before they upped the age from 18 to 21, no grandfather clause either that since i could buy it before the age got jacked up i could continue buying.... when in the service , the drinking age on base was dictated by the base commander for military members on base , and that would include if it was just beer, and or hard booze, from what i understand thats pretty much been phased out and most bases follow federal drinking age. not that its hard for a military member to get booze anyway.
The culture shock for me was when i was stationed in belgium, sitting in a bodega having alocal brew , and in walks a kid , no more than 12, sits at the bar and orders and gets a beer.
when i inquired with the barkeep he said there, if someone comes in and they sit down and can see over the bar , they can be served, i was called something of a prude as well , but i explained in the US that wouldnt work, this was back in 84.
