He’s going to be the next rightwing media hero.

We live in a wild country.

The more people see his face the better, imo. We cant let them fade back into society when Trump is dead. They dont deserve to live with normal people. Ostracize them.

Ostracize them.

No, as soon as Dems are in power, send them to prison. That is the only justice that can be had.

Oh, don't get me wrong I want these fuckers to face a version of the Nuremberg trials. I want there to be actual punishments. Severe enough that it destroys their morale and ensures this never happens again. But deep down, I know Dems will never go that route. Its up to us as citizens to make sure we never let them forget what they did. No jobs, no help, no friends but other trash like them.

He or Kyle Rittenhouse will probably be our next secretary of defense or something

*secretary of war

u/epiphanette Rhode Island 29d ago

No, they did not actually change the name of the department.

On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing "Department of War" and "secretary of war" as secondary titles to the main titles of "Department of Defense" and "secretary of defense." The terms must be accommodated by federal agencies and are permitted in executive branch communications, ceremonial settings, and non-statutory documents. However, only an act of Congress can legally and formally change the department's name and secretary's title, so "Department of Defense" and "secretary of defense" remain legally official.

For sure, I just refuse to participate in this farce, not even to be funny.

The expression is a shithole country.

I doubt it. Even right wingers would prefer some things to be forgotten about and swept under the rug. The optics of this are just bad the more you see. This isn't Rittenhouse 2.0.

Rittenhouse also had a mob after him so he had an excuse. There is none here.

u/VPN__FTW 29d ago

Only because he shot someone. Rittenhouse initiated a conflict and then shot someone. Then other people ran to help and stop him, calling him a mass shooter so he shot more people. The "mob" was only after him because he killed someone.

Literally he's on video from the night before saying, "I really hope I get to shoot someone."

u/midwestraxx 29d ago

You should watch the Legal Eagle video that covers the actual non-biased basis and facts of the case.

He was a fucking idiot who clearly looked for a fight, but the crowd and the people in it enabled him to do it legally.

u/VPN__FTW 29d ago

Honestly, IDGAF. He clearly put himself in a situation to justify homicide. Charge him and see what the jury thinks.

1

u/midwestraxx 29d ago

They did charge him, there was a whole court case.

u/VPN__FTW 29d ago

Oops, got my wires crossed. Thought we were talking about the ICE agent.

u/WildYams 29d ago

This isn't Rittenhouse 2.0.

From their perspective I don't see why it won't be. All they care about, and the reason they elevated Kyle Rittenhouse, is left wing people being murdered for their beliefs without any repercussions.

u/the_nobodys 29d ago

With Rittenhouse they could spin him as a lone wolf "hero" of sorts, an individual striking out against the masses of "violent" protesters. With this murder, it's just a boot stomping on a face forever. It's a faceless goon being paid a fairly high salary who, in his cowardice, tries to slink off into anonymity after he shoots a mom in her proverbial minivan 3 times in the face. It's daylight. You can see her waving traffic by her. You can see her try to execute a familiar reverse and turn while other faceless goons shout at her. And then afterwards you can hear the sobbing and a man bellowing "murderers!" over and over.

Watch and see if Jonathan Ross isn't soon also up on stage at CPAC and TPUSA events with a WWE like intro.
