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.”

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.

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.

You do know that going to a protest with a rifle is a provocation, right?

I think the ‘left’ should also step up their game and open carry, if they want to be taken more seriously by:

Some of those that work forces [1] Are the same that burn crosses

…but… we must not forget what may follow if they do, planning is also really important as well as having legal counsel and video footage of all interactions:

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).

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.
