Wendy Rittenhouse said of the people who criticize her son that he is not a monster and that people need to watch the video of the incident. And they need to go step by step on it. He didn’t, he didn’t do anything wrong. She said her son was attacked by a mob. The first guy to the second and the third guy.”
