Prosecutors are looking to modify Kyle Rittenhouse's bail conditions

Kyle Rittenhouse may not have broken the conditions of his bail when he was spotted at a bar with his mother, but prosecutors are now trying to modify those conditions because of the episode. 

After posting $2 million bail in November, Rittenhouse, 18, was seen drinking at a bar in Wisconsin, where it is legal to drink in the company of one's parents. That, authorities said, was not a crime. 

But Kenosha County prosecutors on Wednesday said Rittenhouse - charged with killing two people at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha last August - wasn't just there with his mom but with members of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group that has engaged in street violence against anti-racist activists, the Milwaukee television station TMJ4 reported. 

Footage taken from security cameras at Pudgy's Bar also appears to show Rittenhouse flashing the "OK" hand sign favored by white supremacists.

What a crock of shit. This would be laughable if I didn't know they were serious.
