I for one do not believe he shot them people out of self defence and never meant to kill them. I think he intended to kill them and thought he would get away with it. The Judge as well is a joke. What a very strange trial. Only in America.
So, where were the riots?
just had a look at the first page and already made up "facts" were being introduced and it got 22 likes...lol
I don't think you could have been any more wrong.
I think perhaps you should have watched the trial instead of getting your info from your favourite YouTubers Twitter feeds.
It would prevent you looking silly.
Oh I want everyone to know that I fully support Kyle Rittenhouse and have done for a long time now.
Don't think you realise what not guilty means though. You called him as a murderer.
Paedophile killer is more correct.
Dumb people who identify as victims because they are lazy, make bad decisions, and are so weak they need to blame society for their failures.
There's no point talking to these people are they are utter losers. Even if they have decent jobs, inside they are a mess.
He was an idiot to turn up with his rifle but that was his right to do so. The not so peaceful protesters should have known better than to chase and attack a dude with a gun.
I'm in favour of the verdict but honestly, he's a retard and so were the not so peaceful protesters.
If everyone stopped being a cun t, the whole thing could have been avoided.
I'm commenting based on your opinions here, and they are disgusting.
Where to even start with that rubbish post. 1) there was no black protesters shot, 2) it was a riot not a protest 3) Rittenhouse was the victim 4) of course he will sue, racist idiots like yourself were tripping over there own tongues to defame him.
That's horrible. The prosecutor holding his head in his hands because justice will prevail. It's all about winning and losing regardless of what is right.
Delighted at the verdict. You'd want to some nitwit to think he wasn't innocent given the evidence. Also people trying to link the attack as racism one lad yesterday saying one of the dead was black lol.
He said it during cross examination by the defense.
Wow
If we're being honest the same motivations apply on the other side of this culture war. It's a vicious circle.
Yea, truly scary stuff - kafkaesque.
Well that poster, much like anyone else reading this thread, knows that you will actively and knowingly lie about very serious subjects. Which some people may find pretty disgusting. 🤷♀️
People like me? You know nothing about me, yet you label me disgusting? Calm down.
That's why "privilege" narratives are so dangerous.
People are saying "if this kid were black he'd be dead or in jail". And, okay, if you believe that, the answer is "the justice system worked in this situation and we need to make sure it works for everyone", not "we should make sure white boys are dead or in jail, too!"
Totally backward.
They honestly think that the court of social media opinion should be above the law. If they all had their way everyone who committed a crime in the eyes of the mob would be thrown straight into prison, no trial needed. Modern "social justice" doesn't really have much justice.
Here's how the narrative is built: bombardment. Almost every corporate news channel, almost every corporate-funded leftwing politics show, every corporate press publication, all coalesced around a narrative, picking their catchphrase as they went. In this case: "He crossed state lines".
https://youtu.be/hY1eoY_MMco
The catchphrase is how the propagandists measure the success of their efforts. "Crossing state lines" is a good measurement phrase because it's so obviously not a crime or an immoral/bad act in and of itself. As we've previously discussed, thousands upon thousands of US residents living near state lines cross them every day for work, shopping, leisure activities and so on. So if you can get that in the mix as part of the main messaging on a given event, every time you see "he crossed state lines" in discussions on social media sites, you know that the information those people are working with originated with your propaganda efforts.
Once you learn to spot the narrative catchphrases it's easier to gage who is working with information they've actual found out for themselves and who is running with a narrative they've been fed.
Delighted with the verdict! Kyle Rittenhouse: a legend in his own lifetime. Hope he gets paid millions in some defamation lawsuits too. He should go after that decrepit old moron in the white house for some of the things he said, let alone the media.
What do you mean travel a great distance? He lives in the town beside Kenosha, he works in Kenosha, and his father lives in Kenosha.
And why are you pretending he travelled there to shoot people?
People like you are amazing. We have clear video evidence, and testimony from one of the attackers, that Kyle was being attacked with intent to kill, and you think he should have just accepted his death.
Disgusting.
If you think he should have been found guilty, there are two things going on:
(1) You don't know the basic facts of the case.
and/or
(2) You are an ideologue who simply wants "the other side" to be punished, regardless of what is fair or correct.
1 is embarrassing, 2 is shameful.
Basically, it's another Covington. People on this site were calling for their public execution and it was allowed. Literally inciting violence and calling for the heads of teenagers, and then it came out that none of it was what it looked like.
And then it wasn't allowed to be talked about. It was off-topic.
Actually, I think it's a little different this time. I've seen a lot of people watch what's happened through the trial and suddenly realise that they have been incessantly lied to for over a year, lead to believe that a white supremacist thug took to a peaceful BLM protest and gunned down three black people for **** and giggles, and for many of them the scales have fallen from their eyes.
There will be some people who will maintain those beliefs, either because they genuinely can't handle the pain of the cognitive dissonance they experience when confronted with the truth, so they turn away, or because they are politically married to their own special version of events.
Even CNN, presumably because they're **** themselves over possible defamation suits, reported the actual facts of the case today.
Imagine what that must do to someone. For a year you've watched as the people you trust for information every day tell you that a white supremacist went to hunt black people, reaching a fever pitch over the last couple of weeks where you have been told that the judge is a crooked racist and over and over again you've seen "legal experts" and "justice activists" invited on to be interviewed to reinforce this message for you. White supremacist. Racist. Gunned down innocent black people. Crossed state lines (!) with an illegal AR15. And on and on and on it goes. This is the narrative you are being spoonfed, bit by bit.
You might even be aware of people being banned from social media for saying that he was innocent. You might have been reassured, by GoFundMe taking down the fundraiser for Rittenhouse's defence (while leaving similar funds for violent looters and rioters in place) that the narrative had to be true. These are the little dabs of a napkin against the sides of your overflowing mouth as you feast, day after day, week after week, on lies.
And then comes the verdict.
Not guilty.
And to boot, the people who have been feeding you this banquet of bullshit and emotional junk food are now explaining very concisely and clearly what actually happened. He didn't cross state lines with a weapon. He was in Kenosha because his father and many family members live there. He was working there the prior day and had stayed overnight. He was helping clean up graffiti. He was asked to go and help out that night. His was legally allowed to possess the gun. He was attacked before he shot, every time. One of those shot admitted to levelling a gun at his head. The others were seen attacking him on camera. All of those shot were white. It was clear self defence. There was never any white supremacy angle.
And then, if you have a morsel of self-reflection in you, you have to be thinking; what the hell else have I been lied to about?
And suddenly you are no longer such an easy dupe.
Such great news to wake up to.
The usual are outraged it's get to watch.
now just imagine what would have happened if there were no video evidence
The entire argument against him by people who think he's guilty is that he shouldn't have been there.
It's a lot easier to argue that he should be there than argue that the other people with weapons rioting and burning down a city should have been there.
How is that he is provoking the situation, when his presence was a direct response to rioting in a city 20 miles from his home?
It was remarkable to see so many people support the burning of cities across America. I guess it's not that surprising that they think the rioters had more rights to be on the streets with weapons than anyone else did.
Any why did Gaige Grosskreutz bring a gun with him to the protest?
Yup. And then a news story from 2015 where a man died after being struck on the head with a skateboard during a fight started circulating on social media.
I think the line of the entire trial was probably Kraus: "Everyone takes a beating sometimes, right?"
Just the absolute tone deafness of telling local people who watched a poor community with a large minority population burn down at the hands of out-of-town rioters just over a year ago that "take a beating" is the proper order of things is just incredible.
What.. The.. Fuk..
