    In case anyone forgot, Rittenhouse went to a protest with a loaded rifle looking for a fight, shot two three people, walked away untouched, was acquitted, and got speaking gigs on conservative TV shows. You can do whatever you want as long as you’re on the “right” side.

      fun fact: teenage Rittenhouse had better discipline and control during the immediate timeframe of him shooting people than these 5+ year ICE/CBP goons have

      regardless of what he set out to do, if you watch the videos of the event, it’s actually less of a transgression than the shit going on now. and that’s, uh, sad.

        Yep, both were looking for a fight. But Kyle was actually trying to get out of the situation. These people are literally executing people.

      Its not judicial justice but he has a hard time showing his face. Colleges rejected his applications and so have prospective jobs.
