Conservative values at work. Make a boatload of cash doing the grift circuit after murdering somebody, then hoard it and refuse to help your family.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

He didn't even make much cash, lol. After the initial attention everything dried up and now he's got a hard time getting normal jobs, lol

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 days ago (5 children)

gotta be honest, i wouldn't hire him

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

Yeah, you might accidentally bump into him in the hallway and he would stand his ground and gun you down for the audacity.

[–] Serinus 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just because of the whole murder thing? It was legal!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Typical leftist cancel culture. You commit just one white supremacist terror attack, and all of a sudden you're a pariah!

Huh. Have any of them considered a job? If the mom was capable of driving her child to another state to murder some people, I bet she could drive for uber or something. Or be a getaway driver for other criminals, idk.

There's a certain type of person who thinks work is beneath them. That's who the Rittenhouse family is.

Kyle Rittenhouse learning that his family is struggling.

LOL

[–] [email protected] 73 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That's actually him learning that one of the people he shot at survived. Just a reminder, this shithead crossed state lines to dump gas on the fire of a protest and riot caused by disgusting, racially motivated circumstances.

He wanted to kill some people that night, so he brought a big gun. His success resulted in a lot of free money from the folks that want everyone else struggling to survive without violating a ten commandment to go hungry.

The "crossed state lines" thing really irks me because does nobody know that maps exist? I'm thinking about crossing state lines today because I need to get more baby wipes. Shithead went to the next town over, which just so happened to be in a different state.

But let's also not forget he went and partied with KKK members immediately after posting his crowdfunded bail, just in case there's any questions on how much of a shithead he is

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

The straw purchase of the murder weapon the judge shrugged and tossed on a whim is something that can land you in jail for 10 years.

There was a parallel case to Rittenhouse: Andrew Coffee IV. He was acquitted in his case but the charge of his weapon possession is what got him 10 years.

But Rittenhouse's judge figured hey, NBD, and everybody clapped.

[–] Snowclone 21 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I've lived in the edge of a state before. It's really hard to miss what side of the populated area is one state or another, and the fact that there are laws about crossing. I knew if I went shooting in CA I needed to keep my ammunition and firearm in seperate compartments, unloaded, and that I couldn't have friends buy me a gun to take across if I couldn't legally buy it myself. And I was just shooting clay pigeons, not my racially hated neighbors.

But who actually cares? Stop talking about this useless waste of life.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 31 points 5 days ago (8 children)

I care because I noticed that all the people defending him won't talk about what happened afterwards meanwhile they never stop reminding us that the men he murdered had criminal records.

It is inconsistent. If they can bring up the past I can bring up the future.

Is it possible that maybe he's a piece of shit?

[–] ZagamTheVile 73 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (11 children)

I mean, maybe? But other than wild speculation, is there any evidence?

Fucking /s because those of you that don't get it are dumb enough to think The Boys got all anti-you all of a sudden too.

[–] Glowstick 51 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Dude, you absolutely need the /s on this one. There are people who authentically say this. And they read your comment thinking you and the upvoters all support that same belief too

Another "family values" type doesn't seem to give a shit about his own family. Bet he has strong opinions on abortion though.

Huh. It's almost like he's a really shitty person or something. They can't possibly be surprised.

[–] SeattleRain 53 points 6 days ago

Don't they know if he gives them a handout it will create a dependency /s.

[–] MushuChupacabra 74 points 6 days ago

No problem. Just pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.

Can’t Kyle just go on another murder tour? That should raise them some money.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Their complaint is that he isn't sharing his murder tour money.
