The pathetic - and increasingly non-profitable - grifting life of loser Kyle Rittenhouse
- Thread starter torbee
- Start date
He would run circles around some of the ambulance chasers on this board. No doubt about that one.

That is probably the single dumbest thing you've ever said. A murderer Mama's boy, who probably can't spell his own name.
I really don't have much of a problem with him. Capitalizing on his position? Fine.
The bad part is that that certain right wing media turned him into/considered him a star

Why don’t you invite Kyle to Mother Russia, I bet he’d fit in with you and your comrades at the troll farm.
Pretty standard reaction to someone trying to make a living off of the legacy of killing someone. On the bright side, he's being treated better than Robert Ford was.

Weird that he chose Kent State for a stop on his grifting tour. He probably thinks the national guardsmen didn’t go far enough in 1970.
I wonder who is paying for all that security?

Rittenhouse’s parents? Of course, I’d be ashamed too.
I’m disappointed they gave that piece of crap the time of day. But, hey, it’s not everyday you get to see someone who shot and killed a skateboarder in self-defense. Talk about pathetic.
And that is what’s wrong with this country, poor little Kyle had to shoot someone because he scared of skateboard. He will always be a fat loser.
Doobi is the guy who would focus on OJ’s football accolades and sees everything else as just details.
I'll admit, I mostly focus on Naked Gun.
OJ and Bob Costas are still the standard for Sunday football pregame shows
I can't fathom finding anything this putz has to say the least bit interesting or informative.

Kyle Rittenhouse is not a typical college campus speaker.
In 2020, at the age of 17, he took an AR-15-style rifle to a Black Lives Matter demonstration and fired it, killing two people and injuring a third. Rittenhouse said he pulled the trigger in self-defense and was acquitted of wrongdoing.
He has since penned a book, “Acquitted,” and has set out on a series of college speaking events dubbed the "Rittenhouse Recap." He is slated to appear Thursday at Clemson University in South Carolina.
Rittenhouse is selling books, and ostensibly promoting the right to bear arms on campus, but he’s also trying to persuade young people to join the conservative movement. The key group behind the appearances, Turning Point USA, is led by the self-described “youth director” of President Donald Trump’s first campaign and a key ally rallying votes for Trump this year.
Kyle Rittenhouse speaks to the nearly sold out auditorium crowd in Ohio at Kent State University's student center on April 16.
The group told USA TODAY that it isn’t a nationally organized tour – that its chapters independently requested Rittenhouse. Student chapter leaders told USA TODAY that Rittenhouse is an important conversation starter. “I think sometimes you have to be kind of polarizing to pull a crowd," said Brady Seymour, president of Turning Point USA's chapter at Kent State University in Ohio.
The provocative choice of backing the Rittenhouse tour is par for the course for Turning Point and its local affiliates, which have hosted controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier. But it has stirred up devastating pain and disdain in a man he almost killed.
"He has used every moment to gloat and to make light of taking life," Paul Prediger said, speaking publicly for the first time about what happened in protest of a Rittenhouse speech last week at Kent State. "As if that were not enough, Kyle has embraced and been embraced by those who peddle hateful rhetoric, who believe in nationalism that excludes those who do not look like or think like them, and who have sought to amplify a troubling desire for violence against supposed political, cultural, and religious enemies."
Paul Prediger, one of the men shot by Rittenhouse, addressed the crowd of protesters at Kent State University.
Rittenhouse's message on his campus tour – that students should be allowed to take up arms, including to fend off "these Hamas, Palestinian terrorists" if they invade dormitories – has sparked protests and raised questions about free speech and just how far it should be allowed to go. A similar question helped lead to the resignations of the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, who stepped down amid fierce criticism for equivocating when asked if calls for the genocide of Jews would be allowed on campus.
Rittenhouse, in a statement provided by spokesperson Jillian Anderson, said his campus appearances are not part of an official tour or book-selling venture, and he is reminding students of their rights. "Every American has a constitutional right to bear arms," he said, "and it should not be infringed by a college campus."
Experts say context matters. Tom Ginsburg, a law professor at the University of Chicago and faculty director of the forum on free inquiry and expression, told USA TODAY that federal regulations require colleges and universities to ensure their learning environment is not hostile. Within that framework, some incendiary language could be permitted in a general public space but prohibited if directed at an individual or group.
"That's a key distinction," he said. "Is it said in general, as part of a general demonstration, or is it shouted at a particular group of people who might then reasonably perceive it as being a threat of some kind? And if it's the latter, then it could be punished."
In a trial that drew national attention in 2021, Rittenhouse said he shot the men in self-defense after Rosenbaum threatened his life and Prediger pointed a gun at him. Prediger said he thought Rittenhouse was an active shooter. Critics said Rittenhouse had no right to fire his weapon and was illegally acting as a vigilante militia. A jury acquitted him of all five charges he faced, including intentional homicide.
Rittenhouse soon took on celebrity status in right-wing circles where the right to bear arms and use them to defend life and property is sacrosanct. The weekend after his trial, he flew to Florida to visit Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort and to appear on Fox News for an interview with conservative host Tucker Carlson.
At Kent State, Rittenhouse implored students to fight to be allowed to carry guns at school.

Rittenhouse is funny because he's the EXACT stereotype of the guy that only feels badass with a gun. The second he isn't armed, he's a bitch that 95% of the male population could probably take down.I can't fathom finding anything this putz has to say the least bit interesting or informative.

Kyle Rittenhouse, acquitted after fatally shooting two men at a 2020 protest, is telling college students they need to arm themselves on campus.
And for some reason, the republicans love him.
"During a riot in a state he doesn't reside in" would have been more fitting, I agree.
