Kyle Rittenhouse's family plead for money as they face eviction
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."

Is it possible that maybe he's a piece of shit?
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.
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
Done.
Ty
Personally I can't believe he's crying about 4 downvotes. lol
No evidence whatsoever. None.
But other than wild speculation, is there any evidence?
He did drive up to Ohio to shoot people.
those of you that don’t get it are dumb
I wish I didn't know people who would say that shit entirely unironically.
Not defending him, but it was Wisconsin, in a city less than 30 minutes from where he lived, barely across state lines.
This case is fucked in so many ways, and it's even worse because nobody remembers any of the details right.
lmao you don't even have the state right.
He went there to shoot people
Yeah, that's why he showed up and did zero non-benevolent things for hours, and then when a maniac literally screamed a death threat at him (in response to Rittenhouse putting out a dumpster fire he started), his immediate reaction was to run away.
Literally the only people shot by Rittenhouse that day were people who tried to kill him, and then DIDN'T LET HIM run away when he tried to flee, which was his consistent first reaction to all aggression directed at him. Everyone who got shot CHASED him when he fled, cornered him, and then tried to murder him, forcing him to use his weapon to save his own life.
Those are the facts.
I'm glad I don't know anyone dumb enough to unironically claim he intended to shoot people. There is so much publicly available evidence, it's frankly secondhand embarrassing to see, even online.
Unless everyone after the first shooting had all that context, they were just standing their ground against a murdering fuck stick
Yes they would have been justified if their impression was right, but it wasn't
According to you and Kyle anyway.
and the jury
they were just standing their ground
Literally the opposite of the truth, lmao. They didn't "stand their ground", they CHASED Kyle as he ran away! And that was after they accosted him while he was running TOWARD the police line, to report what happened with the first attacker.
Only alternative facts
No no, see he shot a registered sex offender (which he couldn't have possibly known at the time)!
And even if he did know it, vigilante justice is not a route society should go down.
Well you see, that guy was trying to kill him
Or was he trying to keep the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters from shooting them?
The problem is, we will never know now.
the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters
Literally a lie, lol.
There is video, you cretins, stop making claims directly contradicted by the evidence.
How do you know it is "literally a lie?" Because all the footage I've seen starts with him already being chased.
Let's see this video of what he was doing directly before the chase started.

Look harder.
Sorry, I'm not here to prove you right. That's your job.
You're the one telling me to prove the negative, lol.
Prove he pointed his weapon at peaceful protesters.
I'm telling you no such thing. You claim there's video. Where is the video?
Also, I did not say he pointed his weapon at peaceful protesters. This is what I said:
Or was he trying to keep the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters from shooting them?
The problem is, we will never know now.
Which you claimed was "literally a lie" and then claimed there was video.
So where's the video?
the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters
Burden of proof is yours. This is your original claim.
Back it up, or concede you can't. Anything else is evasion.
Which you claimed was “literally a lie” and then claimed there was video.
I did not claim there was video of Rittenhouse NOT doing something, lmao.
I replied to you saying you saw no footage that didn't start with him already running away, by pointing out the obvious fact that there is. One little example, from a CNN article, under a heading that literally contains the words "before the shooting", lmao:
In another clip from an on-camera video with Richie McGinniss, the chief video director of the Daily Caller, Rittenhouse says he was there to protect a business and “to also help people.” “If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle because I need to protect myself obviously, but I also have my med kit,” Rittenhouse says in the video. McGinniss points to other armed men around Rittenhouse and asks what they are doing. Rittenhouse responds, “Their job is to protect me.”
“We’re running medical and we’re going in and we’re getting people,” Rittenhouse says in the video
"That guy" being Rittenhouse who specifically went there with a firearm with the intention to stir up shit? He was absolutely hoping he'd get to murder someone, and surprise surpise – he did exactly that
"That guy" being Rittenhouse who specifically went there with a firearm with the intention to stir up shit?
No, the guy who literally screamed "I'm going to kill you", and then when Rittenhouse tried to run away from him, chased him until he cornered him, and then tried to make good on his death threat.
The fuck would you do if someone who was literally screaming his intent to kill you and chased you down was now trying to wrestle your weapon away from you? Let him take it and become the literal "guess I'll die" meme?
Ignoramus.
He worked there, you fucking dweeb. And furthermore, it was a public place, he doesnt need your permission to be there
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.
"He went there as an agitator!"
"What did he do to agitate or provoke anyone while he was there?"
"Uh...he was existing while there! That's aggressive all by itself, somehow!"lol
You do know that going to a protest with a rifle is a provocation, right?
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).
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:
[1] Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
I think if leftists started open carrying at protests we would either see way less harassment by police or literal civil war.
We'd see gun control.
Being a bit more forceful and agressive, in showing open carry, so that we may have a better chance of changing our systematicly broken system, will not be an easy feat to accomplish.
Great point, you are correct, the Black Panther Party also ran into that problem, where they had shoot outs with the police.
It would need a bit of planning, knowledge of the local laws, and live filming/documenting interactions with any law enforcement/groups/people.

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.
Hey bud… how about you read this .
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.
Dude READ THIS and delete your dumb shit.

Ahh… we’re doing the copypasta now?
Okay:
ROFL…. “locker room talk” right? You apologists are fucking hilarious. Where I come from- (America) this is called “Premeditated Murder.” And in any courtroom with an unbiased judge, he’d have been convicted on that alone.
I'm sorry you're getting downvoted. I wish our side (I'm a full on leftie and I don't like conservatives) did a better job of countering arguments instead of using emotionally charged language in debates and spreading misinformation. The whole trial is recorded and all the transcripts are available.
I wish Kyle had not shown up with a rifle to a charged and tense event, especially after what happened in Minneapolis in the prior weeks. There really isn't an excuse for a 17 year old to show up with an AR-15 to such a situation, even if it was perfectly legal. Yes, he bad better trigger impulse control than 99% of police officers, but a 17 year old should never be allowed in the first place. My argument is not a legal one, but an ethical one.
To me the fault lies in our society:
- We encourage proliferation of gun ownership.
- We allow 17 year olds to open carry.
I could keep going but I'll stop.
Just to reiterate for Lemmy user base: I'm not on team Kyle; I'm on team facts and stop gun proliferation.
But he wasn’t.
I think you might be onto something there.
