Actor Ricky Schroder and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell both helped get Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse out of jail on a $2 million bond Friday, according to a report.
The baby-faced gunman — who faces murder charges in the Aug. 25 shooting during Black Lives Matter protests in the Wisconsin city — posed for a pic with the "NYPD Blue" actor after the bond was posted by his lawyers on Friday, CBS affiliate WBBM-TV reported.
Lin Wood, one of Rittenhouse's lawyers, posted the photo on Twitter shortly before 9 p.m.
"FREE AT LAST!!!" Wood wrote on the post, which shows a smiling Rittenhouse standing between Schroder and attorney John Pierce.
"Thank you; All Donors. Thank you, All Patriots. Thank God Almighty."
Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, claims he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed protesters Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and wounded a third man while with a militia group during protests of the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Blake was shot seven times in the back by Kenosha cops during a domestic disturbance, sparking anti-police demonstrations.
Rittenhouse fled to Illinois but surrendered to police there the following day, and was later extradited back to Wisconsin to face trial.
FREE AT LAST!!!

The teen has become the darling of conservative and pro-gun groups.
More than $500,000 has been raised through a legal defense fund and through donations from high-profile supporters, WBBM said, including Lindell and Schroder, who first gained fame as a child actor in the 1979 classic "The Champ" — alongside Jon Voight — and TV's "Silver Spoons" in the 80s.
Meanwhile, Rittenhouse's release on bond didn't sit well with John Hubert, whose son was killed by Rittenhouse.
"He has people out there who will help him, organizations, militia groups raising money for his defense right now," he said.
"He thinks he's above the law. He's been treated as such by law enforcement. He believes he's justified in the case, and for him to run wouldn't surprise me."
The teen allegedly used his $1,200 coronavirus stimulus check from the federal government to purchase the AR-15 rifle used in the shootings.
Because he was under 18, Rittenhouse allegedly bought the weapon through an older pal, Dominick Black, 19, who now faces felony charges in the case and is awaiting trial for his role.

There are pics of the kid smiling and laughing, like he has no remorse.
Sick and sad that he killed two people and put another one in the hospital and some are treating him like a hero.
He probably doesn't have any remorse. People treating him like a hero just reinforces his apparent sociopathic tendencies. Trump expressed strong support for Rittenhouse. From one sociopath to another.
Good for them. He acted in self defense and while death is sad he has nothing to apologize to anyone for.
The jury will decide, not you.
Keep thinking that.
Why is it everyday in this world people get in fistfights and not kill each other yet this piece of shit shoots and kills two people and you call it defending...
Asinine.
Sad that he has become some sort of a hero to some.
Rittenhouse was promoted as a hero by the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security encouraged law enforcement officials to make sympathetic comments about Rittenhouse.

I bet Jack the Ripper would have loved that kind of attitude toward him as well. Forget the number of people he killed.
Like our asshole Texas youth suffering from affluenza who also fled the country and had to be extradited...back to TX from Mexico.
Kyle will run and hide with some militia out in the woods.
On another note, guess one can add Ricky to has been child star maga supporters...
You all planning to try to cancel culture him?
Life already did that. He is a used up has been.
Obviously Schroder's brain didn't develop with the rest of his body from the time he was a child actor. And I'm surprised Rittenhouse's mother didn't blame Queen Elizabeth for his son's being a murderer.
