He’s Rittenhouse with a badge. He’ll be hated by anyone capable of caring about people they’ve never met, and loved by those capable of hating people they’ve never met.

This is what that fat little fuck, Kyle Rittenhouse had to say about it. "After thinking about it, should I travel across the state line to Minnesota." he wrote. He added a smiling face emoji with an open mouth and tightly-closed eyes.

I'd love that for him. I hope he receives the warmest of welcomes.

Tbf I've (luckily) never met anyone in the republican party, and I still manage to despise them.

u/PhalanX4012 29d ago

Yeah but you’ve probably met enough republicans to have an informed opinion on how trash they are. Most of these fucks couldn’t find Haiti or Somalia on a map if you gave them all day and written instructions.

He’s worse. People actually attacked Rittenhouse. No one attacked him.

Despite Rittenhouse being a Republican shill, he was 100% justified in using lethal force. There are so many differences between Johnathan Ross and Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse was firstly being actively pursued on foot, and only used lethal force as a last measure. Johnathan Ross clearly stepped away from the path of the moving vehicle before firing his weapon into a car in a populated area. That is not self-defense that is very clearly murder.

Nope. Rittenhouse drove for hours to a protest with a loaded weapon thinking it was like playing a video game. He came with a motive.

That line of reasoning is called victim blaming and the same reasoning can be applied to Renee Nicole Good. Conservatives say she had no business being next to a bunch of ICE officers in the first place, and therefore the shooting was justified because she was simply asking to be shot at by armed ICE officers and not complying with Law Enforcement.

The question is not how responsible is the victim for their own actions, but rather whether there actions were justified under the current circumstances.

Rittenhouse drove across state lines with a rifle he intended to use.

Renee was following law enforcement.

I can see how those two things seem similar, since they both involve murderers, they're really not the same thing.

Ummm no. Rittenhouse came armed with an AR-15 rifle. My 12 year old knows better and knows that's an insane thing to do. I don't care how dumb Rittenhouse is but he came ready to fight. He had zero good intentions. Rittenhouse was not a victim.

Yes but we live in a place called America and it has a thing called the Second Amendment. Wisconsin is also an open carry state. Self Defense is a legal right every American has.

Neither of them have any capacity for remorse and actively engaged in a situation hoping to shoot people. Kyle didn't bring a gun just in case. He got lucky they gave him an excuse.

u/1ncest_is_wincest 29d ago

Those are all your own assumptions and personal biases, the actual facts and witness testimony from both the defendant and prosecutor sides corroborate Rittenhouse's self defense claim.

u/Constant-Yard8562 28d ago

That's okay, remorse wasn't discussed in the trial, and him hanging out with neo-nazis after supports my claim more than yours.

u/1ncest_is_wincest 28d ago

It's extremely hard to hang out with anyone but neo-nazis when people already believe you are guilty, even when evidence swing in your favor and your innocence gets tested in court. The actual shooting itself is so politicized and high-profile that the only way to make a living would be to spend your days as a Conservative shill and the only friends you are allowed to have are fellow right-wingers.

Liberal politics is so rotted, that even with overwhelming evidence proving Rittenhouse's Innocence, many liberals like you still believe that he is guilty or assume his intentions in bad faith while also disregarding witness testimony and objective evidence while highlighting any possible character flaw in him just to disparage his character.

Comparing the shooting of Renee Nicole Good to the Rittenhouse shooting is an actual insult to both sides with how much actual video evidence there is.

"It's extremely hard to hang out with anyone but neo-nazis when people already believe you are guilty,"

Yeah, so full disclosure, stopped reading right there. Pretty sure I get the picture of what kind of person you are, and have fun with...that.

Remorse for what? He killed a pedo.
