I'll just drop this here:

Kyle Rittenhouse’s Former Handler Reveals That He’s a Middle School Dropout Who Is ‘Angry With the World’

This dude isn't just your run of the mill conservative idiot, he's exceptionally stupid.

[–] HungryJerboa@lemmy.ca 40 points 6 months ago (3 children)

So what I read is that TPUSA enables useful idiots.

Stop giving attention whores what they want, for fuck's sake. It's like getting mad at Facebook comments which I thought we'd all learned was useless a decade ago.

What do you expect? He was defending the oppressed businesses during a riot.

That level of irony should be illegal

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 71 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So should the accompanying level of stupidity.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 67 points 6 months ago

Conservatives, they don't send their best and brightest.

Oh god, maybe they do.

[–] BlitzKrieg2552@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hate to break it to you, but it’s actually illegal to kill people and he got away with doing it twice. I’m not happy about it, but he’s not going to be touched for this comment, I promise you.

He should be serving consecutive live sentences, but instead he was given a platform to speak on and became a poster child for conservative values.

The American “justice” system is a joke and a farce.

But setting aside the fact that a descendant of colonizers has the caucasity to tell the descendants of the colonized that they should “leave” the land they rightfully pointed out was stolen from them…

Oh, that’s good.

The public should not care what Kyle Rittenhouse thinks and we should not amplify a stupid thing he said.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 105 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Let's not give this absolute nobody media space please...

I'm happy they always use the picture of him crying like the bitch baby he is

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 99 points 6 months ago (10 children)

Why report, what a crying murderer thinks?

Dude is so dumb he got PERMANENTLY disqualified from joining the crayon eaters club. And this was during a time they were desperate for new recruits too lol

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 34 points 6 months ago (3 children)

If this is real then holy fuck is he dumb.

[–] JustAnotherRando@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago (13 children)

I'm pretty sure the minimum ASVAB score is like 30. I'm pretty sure you could get that by randomly guessing on most of it. I try not to be too harsh in my judgements of the less intelligent but holy fuck do you have to be dumb to be fully disqualified.

Why are we giving this odious little twerp the oxygen of publicity?

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.world 36 points 6 months ago (2 children)

'We' as in the the public because humans are addicted to drama.

'We' as in the the media because drama brings clicks and clicks bring money.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

‘We’ as in this community because the headline is fucking hilarious

Is he gonna pay for the passport, flight ticket, housing, etc?

I'm partly Native American, I'd like to know...

Edit: Where am I going anyways?... 🤔

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 53 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Shit sign me up, long as we can go to one of those third world countries. You know the ones with free healthcare and a liveable wage.

This stupid fuck doesnt deserve any more attention

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 72 points 6 months ago (15 children)

Infamous stupid hick says hateful, willfully ignorant rage bait. Middle school was too much for this fucking mental invalid. He may never see prison for what he's done, but he's trapped in that idiot mind and will never know greater awareness, just like he deserves.

This pig faced little dweeb is the one who should leave.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

That murdering piece of shit should be in prison or dead.

The "justice" system only encourages vigilantism by its failure.

[–] Arcade@lemmy.wtf 52 points 6 months ago

Now, now, this dumbass dropped out of middle school. You can't blame him for being an ignorant little bastard. I mean, you can, but he might cry if you do.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 46 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I hope they use that thumbnail of him pretending to cry in court for every shitty article they write about him.

I looked through to see who revived this old story, ready to point my finger at OP or the article, but it turns out the person who revived this old story is Kyle Rittenhouse. A murderous opportunist.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago (17 children)

Everyone who defended him during the trial or afterwards has signed a blood pact with the man and has to continue to defend everything he ever does or says forever.

he has such a punchable face, my right hand starts itching every time i see a picture of him

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 28 points 6 months ago

In twenty years, he's going to be the Governor of a backwater state like Alabama or something, he's sadly going to be remembered as this Right Wing Folk Hero forever.

[–] ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I learned something yesterday on Lemmy that completely fits here…

# Backpfeifengesicht

Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face? Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht — a face that’s badly in need of a fist.

If Kyle Rittenhouse doesn't like Native Americans he can leave.

No, wait, other countries don't want to deal with the US's bullshit.

He should follow his own advice and gtfo

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (2 children)

As a squid, I think all those filthy, stupid homo sapiens should go back to Africa where they came from.

And then up into the trees where they came from.

But say that sort of thing today and you get cancelled!
