Kyle Rittenhouse hospitalized

Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two protesters during a social rights demonstration in 2020, was hospitalized on Wednesday after a venomous spider bite.

He shared a photo of himself in a hospital and where the apparent bite was located on his body.

"The communists couldn't take me out and i'll be damned if I let a brown recluse take me out," Rittenhouse wrote in a post on X.

In August 2020, Rittenhouse drove to Kenosha, Wisconsin, during protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, armed with an AR-15 style rifle. In November 2021, he was acquitted of all charges, including homicide, in connection with shooting three men during those protests, two of whom died.
