The protests outside Kenosha courthouse continued on Wednesday with the arrival of an armed man calling himself 'Maserati Mike', as jury deliberations entered a second day in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse.
'Mike' arrived in the black sportscar where he takes his nickname, carrying a megaphone and wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a bow-tie.
'Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization,' he chanted, before being told by cops to put his gun away because he was within 1000ft of a school - an order he complied with. He complied, then left the court in his sportscar.
There were only a handful of others there, including a woman holding an American flag, but more are expected throughout the day.
On Tuesday, BLM protesters clashed with Rittenhouse fans who made white power signs on the courthouse steps.
Rittenhouse faces life behind bars if found guilty of the charges the jurors are now deliberating - attempted murder, murder and recklessly endangering public safety.
On Tuesday, the jury asked for more copies of jury instructions. They started deliberating again on Tuesday at 10am EST.
