This poster alone speaks volumes.

Anyone who shot people "in self defense" wouldn't be smiling on a poster that advertises a national tour to make money off of the tragedy. Hell, I'd be in therapy for years if I was ever placed in a situation where I had to kill in self-defense.

This is a psychopath who went there wanting to kill people, and he's reveling in it.

Hes not smiling because he shot someone. Hes smiling because conservative media is paying him absurd amounts of money to be their golden boy poster child. He was, and still is, just a dumb kid and I gaurantee you someone else has written for him whatever hes going to say at that event.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

I kinda feel bad for him. He was led down a wrong path by awful people and now they’re the only ones who will have him.

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Yes, this is my sentiment too. An ignorant teen who got into an unfortunate situation, and now his only purpose in life is to be mouthpiece for facist propaganda.

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He travelled interstate to get a gun and went to that protest because...?

He put himself in that position, killed two people, maimed another, for his sins, he's now being paid as the right's posterchild for killing you political opponents - you'll have to forgive me for not feeling too bad for him.

His parents are idiots letting him go to such an event unsupervised!

He's fruit from the idiot tree.

I give it 10 years before he's a complete meth head getting his dick out at an Applebee's

Nah, having killed someone totally makes the little shitstain hard.

Travelling interstate to grab a gun and put yourself in a position to shoot others with the flimsiest of legal (definitely not moral) pretexts isn't self-defence.

Says a lot about conservatives that this dude is now a celebrity.

These are the same people buying signed Skittles packets from Zimmerman.

ETA: look forward to officially and more blatantly tiered courts.

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Oh look - the right is rolling out their poster boy for crossing state lines to kill your political opponents again.

Normal stuff that's no cause for concern.

I got my tickets!

Well… “bill” got his tickets. And won’t be showing up

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 months ago

He'll be shouted down by people who find this shit tasteless and videos will be posted online. This is the world we live in.

As someone who detests violence, I feel terrible admitting that I wouldn't mind if someone beat the shit out of him.

His last appearance he was protested and left the stage abruptly trying to say they hit their hard time limit.

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

How could the guy have a hard time limit? This is his only job!

His only marketable skill is saying, "um, guns are good, yo" and cashing in on wingnut welfare.

Join us as Kyle Rittenhouse speaks to Kent State University's Turning Point USA Chapter about the importance of the Second Amendment.

I wonder if there will be a ham-fisted “those students could have defended themselves” argument by Kyle about the massacr-

No. He’s not that eloquent nor well read enough to know, let alone have the awareness of Kent State. It’ll be a shitty Q&(screened)A panel where he’ll run away again when challenged

This summer I hear the drumming.

[-] Ascrod@midwest.social 6 points 2 months ago

A poster child for legalized abortion if I ever saw one.

[-] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'm out of the loop. What happened?

[-] muse@kbin.social 10 points 2 months ago

Google the kent state massacre

Something smells funny here, but I can't put my finger in it.
