Victim of Kyle Rittenhouse Remembered for Trying to Save Lives At Protest

This clip is from the Nov. 22, 2021 broadcast.

The parents of Anthony Huber, one of two men killed by Kyle Rittenhouse, say they are heartbroken and angry over the jury's Friday verdict, and argue it failed to deliver justice for any of Rittenhouse's victims. In a statement Friday, they said: "Make no mistake: our fight to hold those responsible for Anthony's death accountable continues in full force." Rittenhouse shot and killed 26-year-old Huber within seconds after Huber attempted to disarm the gunman by hitting him with a skateboard.

"Huber stepped in to try to stop this person. And in almost any scenario we call that person a hero," says Anand Swaminathan, the attorney representing Huber’s parents, who have filed a federal lawsuit against the Kenosha Police Department, the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department as well as the sheriff and police chief.
