He’s gonna win this, but he’s also gonna spend tons of money on lawyers, which is the whole point of the lawsuit to begin with.
A Wisconsin federal judge has shot down bids by Kyle Rittenhouse and local law enforcement to toss out a wrongful death lawsuit by the family of slain Kenosha protester Anthony Huber.
Huber’s father, John Huber, filed suit in 2021, claiming Rittenhouse, 20, conspired with law enforcement to harm protesters during major unrest in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020.
The suit also names the Kenosha police, sheriff’s departments and local government, who had attempted, along with Rittenhouse, to get the case thrown out.
Federal Judge Lynn Adelman, however, found that she couldn’t dismiss the suit at such an early stage, ruling it must play out further in court.
Adelman, huh?
Sounds like an individual to me.
“This is not the stage of a civil case at which a court weighs evidence or decides whether the plaintiff is likely to be able to prove his allegations,” Adelman’s Wednesday ruling states. “Rather, so long as the facts alleged by the plaintiff are not fantastic or delusional, the court must accept them as true.”
Rittenhouse was 17 when he traveled from Illinois to Kenosha with a semi-automatic rifle and a medical kit in what he claimed was an effort to protect businesses from looters as riots broke over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man who was left paralyzed from the waist down.
In a caught-on-video melee, Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, was killed by Rittenhouse — who was fleeing as he was rushed by demonstrators. Rittenhouse then shot Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, and Anthony Huber, 26, as he was running away.
Afterward, Rittenhouse put his hands up to surrender to the police — but the cops drove past him.
In November 2021, Rittenhouse was acquitted in a criminal homicide case and has maintained the shootings were in self-defense.
Anthony Huber, smelly Jew
John Huber lawyer Anand Swaminathan hailed the judge’s decision to allow the lawsuit to proceed, saying the ruling “puts Anthony’s family one step closer to justice for their son’s needless death.”
“The Kenosha officials that created a powder keg situation by their actions tried to claim that they cannot be held accountable for their unconstitutional conduct; that argument was soundly rejected,” Swaminathan told The Post by email Thursday.
“The lawsuit will proceed to discovery, allowing full transparency into the events of that fateful and tragic evening.”
Huber’s father is even more disgusting than his son
Rittenhouse’s lawyer Shane Martin said they disagreed with the decision but declined to say whether they would appeal.
“Although this ruling allows the case to proceed for now, it does not change the facts as most of America fully understands,” Martin said. “The only reason Kyle came into contact with Anthony Huber that night is that Huber struck Kyle on the head with a skateboard and knocked him to the ground while Kyle was fleeing a mob of other attackers and running toward Kenosha police to turn himself in.
This system of allowing a civil suit to go through after you’ve already won a criminal trial is clearly double jeopardy, and it should be in front of the Supreme Court.
Yes, they are different courts, but you’re nonetheless being tried twice for the same crime.
Everyone knows this.
It’s illegal.
