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 41 points 10 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 70 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So should the accompanying level of stupidity.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 68 points 10 months ago

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

Oh god, maybe they do.

[–] BlitzKrieg2552@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 10 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

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 35 points 10 months ago (3 children)

If this is real then holy fuck is he dumb.

[–] JustAnotherRando@lemmy.world 41 points 10 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 37 points 10 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 33 points 10 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 52 points 10 months ago

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 73 points 10 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.

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.

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 48 points 10 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.

Teenage murderer.

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.

[–] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 10 months ago (9 children)

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

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 33 points 10 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.

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.

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.

I vote for life in prison

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (19 children)

caucasity

I learned a new word today.

Though I am mystified that the author wrote an entire article describing Rittenhouse's caucasity without using the term white supremacist once. You don't get caucasity without white supremacism.

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!
