Review

David Brown

Having become something of a poster boy for gun-rights activism in America, Kyle Rittenhouse has recently turned speechmaker, an address at the University of Memphis in March generating an outcry from students on campus. Rittenhouse hit the headlines in 2020, when, aged 17, he fatally shot two people in Kenosha during anti-racism protests. After claiming self-defence, he was subsequently cleared of homicide at trial — an outcome that President Biden felt would leave many US citizens feeling “angry and concerned”. No previews were available of this profile, but expect to see a study of the polarising debate sparked by Rittenhouse’s actions.
