Kyle Rittenhouse considering writing a book about his 'unorthodox journey into adulthood'

Kyle Rittenhouse is thinking of writing a book about his "unorthodox journey into adulthood."

The 19-year-old stood trial last year for fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz at a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He was acquitted of five felony charges in November, including first-degree intentional homicide.

His spokesperson David Hancock told Newsweek there were now preliminary "internal discussions" about having the teen pen a book about his life experiences thus far.

Hancock told the outlet the book "will most likely be a story of a young man's very unorthodox journey into adulthood, what it took to make it, and the lessons he learned along the way."

I'm sure it'll be a best seller in bulk sales.

As if this jerk could write a book. What a joke.

But the time to capitalize on his notoriety with a seven-figure book deal is of course before fickle interest moves on.

Apparently after the verdict a book was listed for sale on Amazon purporting to be written by Rittenhouse, "How to Defend America From the Woke Mob," but Rittenhouse's spokesman said he had nothing to do with it, and it was taken down.

I mean, if you don't use that angle to pad it out, it's more of a leaflet than a book.

who have already done enough in their lives to fill a compelling memoir.

I seriously doubt that Kyle Rittenhouse is one of them.
