Officials in the city of Kenosha are mulling whether to erect a public memorial for Anthony Huber, a skateboarder fatally shot by Kyle Rittenhouse amid chaotic protests sparked by the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake.
Aldermen on Monday listened to a proposed request to place a tree and plaque honoring Huber in Anderson Park, according to the meeting agenda. They delayed making a decision for another date.
Huber and his girlfriend, Hannah Gittings, were among hundreds of people marching through Kenosha when violence broke out on August 25, 2020.
Both Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum were fatally shot that night by Kyle Rittenhouse, a teen and aspiring cop who traveled from his native Illinois to join a citizens patrol. A third person, Gaige Grosskreutz, was also wounded in the gunfire.
You can see their criminal records here.
It happed on the third straight night of unrest in the Wisconsin city, where 29-year-old Blake was shot down by officer Rusten Sheskey. Officers were responding to reports of a domestic violence incident at the time.
Blake, who was left paralyzed, was struck a total of seven times while his children watched — four times in the back and three times on his side.
In wake of the violent protests in Kenosha, Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree reckless homicide, and attempted first-degree homicide in connection with the attack.
The teen was ultimately acquitted by a jury on all counts in November, after he argued all three men attacked him and he was forced to fire in self-defense.
Video of the confrontation shows Huber swinging his skateboard at Rittenhouse mere moments after his fired at Rosenbaum. The teen then turned toward Huber and shot him too.
At least three of the five people on the Kenosha Parks and Recreation panel will have to agree to the memorial for Huber, which was requested in application filed by his girlfriend on April 5.

“Kenosha City Officials Mull Public Memorial For Rioter Shot By Kyle Rittenhouse”
Let me help you with that. How about pulling your heads out of your respective a**es and put your brains in the THINK mode. Honor the people who actively defend our country against the destructiveness and violence perpetrated by rioters and protesters. There is no place nor justification for honoring anyone who assaults America and its law-abiding citizens—none whatsoever.
Notice that these fools are all Black. These Black racist fools think that rioting, burning, looting and attacking White people is their Democrat Party god given right. I have even seen where they put up a monument to honor the criminal and drug addict George Floyd.
I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a)
Black males make up about 7% of the U.S. population but every year commit ~56% of all the murders and ~64% of all robberies in the U.S… Every year in the U.S. there are ~6,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 92% of them were killed by fellow African-Americans. Do these fools also think that there should be ~6,000 Public Memorial for the blacks killed by other blacks or only those killed by White people??
Personally I never cared what color or race or religion you were.
UNTIL:
• You started blaming my race for YOUR problems.
• I never cared about your political affiliation until YOU started to condemn me for mine.
• I never cared where you were born until YOU wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for all your current problems.
• I never cared if you were well-off or poor until YOU said you were discriminated against because when I got promoted because I worked harder.
• I never cared if your beliefs were different from mine until YOU said my belief were wrong.
• NOW I care, My patience and tolerance are gone
• YOUR whining about racism and YOUR rioting, burning, looting every time you disagree with something, Disgusts me.
OF course they think rioting is a national passtime for their folks. JUST LOOK AT EVERY DAMN RIOT WE’ve had.. ALL Started by blacks!
Don’t forget that thug, Michael Brown, who was shot and killed, by a police officer, in Ferguson! They erected a memorial for him!
P.S. What a surprise, two of the biggest race-baiting, racist POS, Joy Reid and Al Sharpton!
HAD ENOUGH ? Enough of this insanity that this country has to cave and bow to a small group of people who feel that they are indeed above the law. Enough of being controlled by people who commit the exact crimes against their own people that they blame others for? Enough of “right is wrong and wrong is right”? Enough of no “rule of law” being followed any longer? Enough of main stream media controlling and censoring what you hear? Enough of the far left getting away with anything they choose? Enough tearing down monuments of men and women who built this country and defended it, and building ones to honor people who broke the law over and over. When is ENOUGH ENOUGH?
It has finally happened, since the decriminalization of crimes and the marginalizeing of police it was bound to happen, a memorial is to be erected to criminal who died while involved in a riot of destruction and mahem while attacking someone protecting lives and property! Bravo! Bravo!
AND YOU Can bet they WILL NIX ANY plaque or public statue HONORING ANY OF the slain cops in the past 2 years.. ALL FROM THESE riots.
