Just found this: Petition to Governor Tony Evers to arrest alleged Kenosha Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse

Found this petition on Change.org to Gov. Tony Evers to arrest Kyle Rittenhouse - alleged shooter who claimed the lives of at least two protesters during the Kenosha BLM demonstrations.

Don't know what effect this will have, but already over 1100 signatures!
