Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”
Well you see, that guy was trying to kill him
Or was he trying to keep the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters from shooting them?
The problem is, we will never know now.
Literally a lie, lol.
There is video, you cretins, stop making claims directly contradicted by the evidence.
How do you know it is “literally a lie?” Because all the footage I’ve seen starts with him already being chased.
Let’s see this video of what he was doing directly before the chase started.
Look harder.
Sorry, I’m not here to prove you right. That’s your job.
You’re the one telling me to prove the negative, lol.
Prove he pointed his weapon at peaceful protesters.
I’m telling you no such thing. You claim there’s video. Where is the video?
Also, I did not say he pointed his weapon at peaceful protesters. This is what I said:
Which you claimed was “literally a lie” and then claimed there was video.
So where’s the video?
Burden of proof is yours. This is your original claim.
Back it up, or concede you can’t. Anything else is evasion.
I did not claim there was video of Rittenhouse NOT doing something, lmao.
I replied to you saying you saw no footage that didn’t start with him already running away, by pointing out the obvious fact that there is. One little example, from a CNN article, under a heading that literally contains the words “before the shooting”, lmao:
“That guy” being Rittenhouse who specifically went there with a firearm with the intention to stir up shit? He was absolutely hoping he’d get to murder someone, and surprise surpise – he did exactly that

The little fascist went to a counter protest with a rifle as an agitator. He was looking for a reason to use that gun, and definitely manufactured the exact thing he was looking for. Don’t be such an utter dipshit.

You do know that going to a protest with a rifle is a provocation, right?
FWIW I think it depends on intent. You could be showing up with a rifle in support of the protestors (which has happened, especially in 2020).

I think if leftists started open carrying at protests we would either see way less harassment by police or literal civil war.
We’d see gun control.

Wrong. It’s an open carry state, there was nothing strange about it.
If it was such a “provocation”, then why did nobody give a shit when he showed up, even though it was super obvious he was armed with a long rifle? How come he walked around for hours doing his thing (handing out water bottles, giving basic medical care to whoever asked (at least 8 people according to evidence and trial testimony), etc.), and literally nobody gave a shit, while he had that rifle on him the whole time?
Rosenbaum literally screamed “I’m going to kill you” at Rittenhouse, and for what? Because he put out Rosenbaum’s dumpster fire.
Get real.
Fuck off fascist
Correcting false statements with known facts (it’s so extra absurd because there is SO MUCH hard evidence!) is not fascism. It’s not even political at all.
Sorry… are you under the bizarre impression that because it’s legal to carry a gun, you can’t provoke someone with it?
No, I’m contradicting the ridiculous argument that existing in public while armed, in an open carry state, is somehow, in and of itself, provocation.
Hey bud… how about you read this .
Actions speak louder than words, especially when those words are a teen talking big to his friends.
The fact is, nothing he did in Kenosha supports the claim that he wanted to kill anyone, period, and everything he did directly contradicts it. He showed zero aggression toward anyone, and his first response to aggression toward him was to RUN AWAY, every single time. Bottom line, none of the people who got shot would have gotten shot if they had let him run away.
Dude READ THIS and delete your dumb shit.

Ahh… we’re doing the copypasta now?
Okay:
ROFL…. “locker room talk” right? You apologists are fucking hilarious. Where I come from- (America) this is called “Premeditated Murder.” And in any courtroom with an unbiased judge, he’d have been convicted on that alone.
‘You can tell he planned to kill someone by the fact that he never showed aggression toward anyone, and his first response to unprovoked aggression toward him, all three times, was to run away’
lol
I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted. I wish our side (I’m a full on leftie and I don’t like conservatives) did a better job of countering arguments instead of using emotionally charged language in debates and spreading misinformation. The whole trial is recorded and all the transcripts are available.
I wish Kyle had not shown up with a rifle to a charged and tense event, especially after what happened in Minneapolis in the prior weeks. There really isn’t an excuse for a 17 year old to show up with an AR-15 to such a situation, even if it was perfectly legal. Yes, he bad better trigger impulse control than 99% of police officers, but a 17 year old should never be allowed in the first place. My argument is not a legal one, but an ethical one.
To me the fault lies in our society:
I could keep going but I’ll stop.
Just to reiterate for Lemmy user base: I’m not on team Kyle; I’m on team facts and stop gun proliferation.
But he wasn’t.
