The problem is he doesn't have a case.
How many people did OJ manage to sue for slander? Ummm. None. Even though he was acquitted, most people know he did it. And they didn't even have him on tape.
The problem Rittenhouse has is that civil liability has a much lower standard than a criminal one.
What makes you think that was against the law??He killed somebody
Judge dismisses contested Kenosha curfew violations from August 2020 unrest
Tickets for curfew violations issued during unrest in Kenosha last August have been dismissed for those who contested them in court after a judge found they were improperly prosecuted.madison.com
According to the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, 94 people were arrested for violating the curfew that Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth declared from Aug. 23 through Sept. 2. Many of those ticketed spent more than a day in jail after they were arrested. While some of those ticketed likely paid the $200 fine or failed to show up to court, others have contested the arrests.
Do you ever get tired of being proven wrong.
The judge just made bad decisions.

Yeah, you bleated the same shit about Sandmann. You were wrong.
In the bronze age we had globalists. Not everyone had copper..Reason is out the window when it comes to the globalists agenda, and they'll spare no expense in fulfilling it.
Smirky McBitchslap never went to court. His lawyers got "go away" money because litigating it for years would have been more expensive.
It is what they said in court. Do you support vigilantes? They get in the way of police, ignore curfew and almost always make things worse.Not what they said in Court.
DURRRRR
And the killing was judged to be LEGAL SELF DEFENSE. Therefore, no murder.Probably lots, before his lawyers settled for "Go away" money.
Nobody is going to pay Rittenhouse "go away" money.
the point that Smirky McBitchslap had going for him is he wasn't doing anything illegal. Rittenhouse did.
"Wah, Biden Called me a Murderer! And so did Whoopie Goldberg!"
"Um, here you are on tape, killing people."

Regardless, they were the instigators. The Witness for the Prosecution even admitted he aimed his gun At Rittenhouse . Only “ Vigilantes “ ignore curfew; not instigators? Another Hypocrite!It is what they said in court. Do you support vigilantes? They get in the way of police, ignore curfew and almost always make things worse.
Kyle shouldn't have been there carrying a weapon and breaking curfew. Curfew began at dusk. He ignored law enforcement. He's as bad as the instigators and he's killed two people.Regardless, they were the instigators. The Witness for the Prosecution even admitted he aimed his gun At Rittenhouse . Only “ Vigilantes “ ignore curfew; not instigators? Another Hypocrite!
So much so that he will add a “;” to his name permanentlyHe won't have to work another day the rest of his life, except he wants to go into medicine and law anyway.
If Nick got $800 million, the sky's the limit for Kyle right now. Without even walking into another courtroom, Rittenhouse could probably settle for over a billion between all the parties in question. I hope he starts with the View's Joy Behar (unlike the fake meme circulating)
In 2019, Nick Sandmann, a high school kid from Kentucky, was accused by several major news outlets of aggressively confronting a Native American man during demonstrations in Washington, D.C. Their videotaped faceoff was described by CNN, ABC, CBS, The Washington Post, The New York Times and others as a confrontation instigated by an obviously racist teen wearing a Make America Great Again Hat. The full video revealed Sandmann had done no such thing.
Sandmann eventually sued seven media outlets for more than $800 million. After out-of-court settlements he is now presumed to be a multimillionaire. Sandmann recently wrote an op-ed saying, “The corrupt liberal media came for me, just like they came for Kyle Rittenhouse, and if he decides to sue I say go for it and hold the media accountable.”
I can tell you with certainty that right now attorneys for newly acquitted defendant Kyle Rittenhouse are working overtime. They are combing through every slanderous statement made about this young man. Every defamatory comment offered up before any facts were presented in a court of law is now under the microscope for possible litigation.
Who is at risk of being sued? Politicians, including President Joe Biden, then a candidate without presidential immunity, was the first high-profile person to declare that young Kyle was a member of an Illinois militia. He ran a campaign ad condemning “white supremacists” featuring a photo of the then 17-year-old. Several members of Congress, such as Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., took up the anti-Rittenhouse “white supremacy” chant, and even after the acquittal Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., called Rittenhouse a “murderer who is once again walking free.”
Yes, politicians can be sued for slander for public statements made “outside their seat,” and it will be interesting to see if Rittenhouse’s team goes that route.
But it is media organizations that are the obvious prime targets for lawsuits. Many reporters and TV pundits pronounced Rittenhouse guilty from the get-go. This despite readily available video showing the young man being chased, knocked down and violently attacked that fateful night. The camera also followed Rittenhouse after the shooting as he immediately tried to surrender to police.
Long before the trial facts emerged, MSNBC and CNN frequently repeated the theory that Rittenhouse acted as an “armed vigilante,” a “domestic terrorist” and “a racist.” Even after the verdict one MSNBC host called Rittenhouse “this little murderous white supremacist.” Sounds like slander to me.
Despite media reports from CBS and others, Rittenhouse did not cross state lines “armed for battle.” (CBS, likely sensing legal liability, has now issued a correction.) Rittenhouse lived with his mother in nearby Antioch, Illinois, but had a job, his father and relatives in Kenosha. The law said he was legally allowed to carry the rifle he had that night.
Facts matter. The three older men, each with a violent criminal history, who attacked Rittenhouse that night were white, not Black. And as open-minded people learned during the trial, Kyle was none of the derogatory things the media claimed. He worked as a lifeguard and was a dedicated police cadet studying to be an EMT and a nurse. Before the fatal shooting he had gone out to erase lewd graffiti spray-painted on a public building. Does that sound like a terrorist to you?
The false descriptions took on a tsunami quality on social media and in the public consciousness. Facebook, that so-called beacon of free speech, blocked any posts sympathetic to Rittenhouse.
“We’ve designated the shooting in Kenosha a mass murder and are removing posts in support of the shooter,” Facebook said at the time. Any post with the words “Free Kyle” was blocked.
Remember this when you hear Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg claim his platform doesn’t censor content.
This kid never had a chance in the tainted court of public opinion. It’s a wonder Kenosha was able to seat an impartial jury.
