"Kyle Rittenhouse spotted cleaning Kenosha graffiti before shooting" in their glib headline.

The suspected teen shooter who killed two Kenosha protesters and injured a third Tuesday night was photographed cleaning graffiti in the city just hours before the violence.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Illinois, allegedly traveled into Kenosha and affiliated himself with a small but heavily armed militia that claimed to be helping law enforcement protect the city after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Before allegedly being filmed shooting protesters during a tense confrontation, Rittenhouse was spotted joining other volunteers in cleaning graffiti from a high school nearby the Kenosha County Courthouse.
Later that night, a gunman carrying a rifle โ suspected to be Rittenhouse โ was caught in disturbing footage shooting protesters who had chased after him.
Twitter was not amused.

The New York Post is another Murdoch-owned enterprise, like Fox News. Donโt underestimate how dangerous it is for this and Tucker Carlson to glorify this murderer. https://t.co/ajxWr1a9at
