A term used when someone claims self-defense after they provoked someone. Named after the infamous Kyle Rittenhouse case where the defendant argued for self-defense while it's argued on whether or not he provoked the shooting.
Person 1: "That man claimed self-defense in court after he shot her!"
Person 2: "He's pulling the Rittenhouse Defense."
A priveleged white boy who killed someone for no reason back in 2020, and yet still gets praise from delusional fools for his "AcT oF sElF dEfEnSe". He also loves using vector the crocodile tears as a way to gain empathy during his court cases.
"A kid who murders and still gets praise for it because of his privelege? Sounds like a Kyle Rittenhouse to me."
