Rittenhouse

"Doing a Rittenhouse" (or being a Rittenhouse) is when someone forces themselves into a problematic situation with the conviction of helping solve the problem, but end up becoming part of it and making the whole situation significantly worse.

The definition comes from murderer Kyle Rittenhouse, who one day at the age of 17, took it upon himself to help out a neighbouring state to deal with mass protests about police violence in 2020.

To do so, Rittenhouse acquired an automatic weapon and took it across state lines, breaking several local and federal laws, and ended up murdering 2 protesters in what he claims was personal defence.

He was found innocent in what is commonly viewed as a sham trial.

"Man, seriously, just drop it and go home, you're being a Rittenhouse!"
"This would have never happened if we left when I told you to! But no, you had to stay and do a Rittenhouse. Now my parents will never speak to me again".
