Kyle Rittenhouse, der skød tre mænd under raceurolighederne i Kenosha sidste år, er fundet ikke skyldig og har givet interview til Fox News. Sagen handlede om retten til selvforsvar, mener han, og mange med ham.

Kyle Rittenhouse, der i fredags blev frikendt for at have skudt og dræbt to mænd og såret en tredje i forbindelse med de racerelaterede uroligheder sidste år i byen Kenosha i Wisconsin, siger nu, at hans handlinger ikke var motiveret af racisme, og at han blot handlede i selvforsvar. Udtalelserne faldt i et interview med Fox News, der blev bragt mandag aften.
