Why is this little shit head continuing to make headlines? Are we that hard up for news? Jesus.
Nice photo though.
I desperately want this to be the photo most associated with him and his name.
Being a crying little removed.
partially because he got into legal hassles for using an AR-15 to defend himself against people who wanted to harm him.
My guy, he crossed state lines with a firearm that wasn’t his, to go to a protest where the only people injured and killed were by his trigger finger because he put himself that situation. That’s not defending yourself. He’s functionally a home invader crying over the dead body of the homeowner he killed because the homeowner brandished a skateboard.
No, no, his friend bought him the gun because he couldn’t buy it himself. But somehow that wasn’t a straw purchase.
He’s functionally a home invader crying over the dead body of the homeowner he killed because the homeowner brandished a skateboard.
poor analogy.
Home invaders want to rob and those in the homes are innocent victims, and it was a glock, not a skateboard.
I have little tolerance for looters and vandals, some of whom might be wp:agent provocateurs.
I have little tolerance for dumbasses and idiots, some of whom may be trolls.
The first 2 can be a bit humourous, as well as your reply. 😁
Dude, we get it, just go back to stormfront already…
Citation needed ya weirdo
He’s referencing Gaige Grosskreutz who had a Glock. Anthony Huber was the one who attempted to use a skateboard as a bludgeon. Joseph Rosenbaum attempted to take Rittenhouse’s rifle after he had tried to distance himself.
Grosskreutz was hit in the arm and testified to aiming his pistol at Rittenhouse during the televised trial.
And he wanted to kill protestors.
I don’t know why I’m bothering to feed a troll. But he literally travelled there in order to put himself in a situation where he might have to defend himself because he wanted to fucking shoot someone. He purposefully created the opportunity to shoot someone without having to “technically” be the attacker.
and you’re probably right, and the rioters and looters (assuming they are rioters and looters) accommodated him.
It’s illegal to kill a looter and a rioter.
you know I was just looking for a place to put my downvote

I hope you make a sincere attempt to understand why your comment is being downvoted so much and I truly hope you use this as an opportunity to grow as a compassionate human being
It is not possible for a conservative to experience compassion. Empathy is simply not a conservative trait.
I’m being downvoted because I’m taking a rightist position in a forum of leftists, some who are quite thoughtful, others aren’t and are reactive.
You’re being downvoted because you’re objectively wrong, factually and morally. The kid went out with the intention to kill someone, brought the tools to do it, and did it. It was absolutely premeditated. He killed people trying to disarm him. He did not act in self defense, he murdered 2 people in cold blood.
He was allowed to get away with it because the republican party and their allies want to encourage more vigilantes to be killing leftists and minorities.
rightist position in a forum of leftists
Psst. To someone on the extreme right, everyone is leftist. It’s just a cruel and rare viewpoint.
The jury came to that same conclusion. It definitely isn’t a fringe belief.
Rightist vs right.
That’s why.
Makes you think it might just be some objectively incorrect take huh?
I could be wrong as I’ve yet to read the Wikipedia article.
Who did he kill: a few guys who were guilty of nothing, but their blackness made them targets of a bigot; or were they engaged in criminal activity and then threatened him when he showed up. If it’s the former, then he’s a criminal who should be prosecuted. If it’s the latter, I feel a bit freer to indulge in moral relativism.
I’d say the swathes of downvotes and removal of your comments by mods would make you go read about it before jumping to his defence.
The removal of a comment by mods on lemmy makes me more likely to think he’s got a point, actually. I haven’t checked the modlog though, maybe it was bullshit.
The important question here, is: could he have run away? And the answer is, he already ran full-on into a known risky situation he had absolutely no business being near. So yes. In leaving his home, lethally armed and looking to exert authority with his weapon, he definitely chose not to escape to or stay where he was safe. And thus no self-defense claim should be heard.
We don’t blame the volcano if some idiot dives in; and that’s the level of stupid and risky and ultimately murderous logic he displayed here.

I always downvote those who complain about downvotes.
You’re talking about Kyle Rittenhouse, the murderer?
He also refuses to talk to his family anymore now that he’s raking in the speaking fee money.
His family reads like more of the same, though. Somehow it’s his fault they can’t pay rent or something, when they could simply say “yah I don’t know that guy”.
I know a guy named Manson and Chuck copes really well when people go “huh-huh” like they just discovered something.

Fuck off. He went out of his way to Cross state lines just to shoot someone. Then, he murdered someone in cold blood. Pathetic that people like you are still sucking his Dick…
Hawk tuah!
Jokes on you, he’s a swallower, clearly.
Just another stupid fucking Republican cultist that embraces filth like kyle because DeMuHcRaTs BaD, TrEmP gOoD111!one
Interesting take
Aww. The murderous shit stain thought he had any value whatsoever.
Just go away, white George Zimmerman.
Murderer got bullied into submission. What a sheep.
No spine and succumbs to peer pressure. No surprise here.
Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team…
…from political commentator Joey Mannarino, who wrote on X: “If not for Maga, you would be rotting in a prison bending over for Bubba … Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!”
Yup.
I guess rape jokes are in now.
Rape is always “in” with a Republican.
Obviously Kyle Shittenhouse had it coming by not endorsing Cheeto Dick Don and for having such a sweet, dickable hairy white booty.
Excuse me while I go throw up. That hurt to type out.
I’ve never thought of Donald Trump as having a hairy butt. I’ve always thought that he was the kind of person to have his ass waxed and bleached. Then there is the front side, which I’m sure is an unmanicured jungle of knotted grey hair, because he has no concern for opinion of anyone putting their face in it.
So he pulled a “Vance”?
A Vance is when you start critical of the orange knob, but then you roll your sleeves up, hawk tuah, and get to it.
I thought it was when you have seven Tour de France titles (and one olympic) stripped with a side order of PEDs?
No, that’s a Lance.
You’re thinking of that awkward event at the middle school gym where all the boys stood against one wall and all the girls stood against the other.
No even smart enough to hold onto his one and only meal ticket. 🤣🤷♂️
Ron Paul must be crushed. How will his campaign recover from this devastating blow?
Pissbaby sheep with the moral backbone of an eclare. But I don’t think anyone expected anything more from that murdering fuckstick.
Who cares?
I knew he was an idiot, but how are you going to break the only rule of the right wing grifters club and expect to get away with it? You never attack trump. This is elementary. You can maybe get away with soft attacks on certain issues, but outright going never trumper? You done fucked up, Kyle.
He thought he was special. The attention went to his head.
They stand for nothing.
What a weak, spineless little removed.
