1. Lets see how those civil cases work out//

[Demovictory9]

2. lil killer

[lame54]

3. Why didn't O.J. think of that?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. Why don't you enlist Kyle?

Are you afraid of people who shoot back?

[11 Bravo]

31. Apparently young Kyle has a little bit of Ted Nugent in him.

Proud, brave, and macho ... as long as the other side is unarmed.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

5. Well kyle you ARE a murderer.

And and an asshole. You are a smarmy as fuck incel too.

[MacKasey]

11. Totally agree

And he is a stupid piece of shit

Must be low on cash, going on the ahole show to raise money

[Demovictory9]

12. heading down the same path as Zimmerman

[Bluethroughu]

18. This is what I'm afraid of...

Didn't he kill or shoot another and pull his gun on many more?

[inthewind21]

27. Yes, yes he did

[brush]

20. He's finding out most people in society don't have welcoming arms for little killers.

Who's going to hire his ass, or want him on their college campus, or in the military?

He's got a long life ahead of being a pariah.

Maybe him and george zimmerman can hook up and re-start Murder Inc. and work for the mob.

6. This kid needs an intervention desperately

I hate to break it to you Kyle, but you committed murder. If calling killing another human being "self defense" helps you sleep at night, just know that doesn't make you any less of a killer.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. What are the legal consequences of calling someone a murderer if they were not convicted?

Can that be slander (or libel)?

In order to be defamation, you have to say something that is false and you have to know it is false. Just because someone wasn’t convicted doesn’t mean they are a not murderer, an acquittal doesn’t prove innocence, just insufficient evidence of guilt. In order to prevail in a lawsuit, the plaintiff would have to show they were not in fact a murderer. If that person was, say, O. J. Simpson, they would have a hard time with that.

If you are found to have committed defamation, you can be held responsible for monetary damages to that person’s reputation, sometimes to the tune of millions of dollars. In extreme cases, it can become a criminal matter.

[MacKasey]

13. Slander is speaking, libel is written

And with either one, the plantiff has to prove that it did great harm to them

I think most people think he is a murderer

[The Grand Illuminist]

26. If most people think he is a murderer,

He should've been convicted. I feel the jury was corrupted by media and/or personal views kept to themselves and lied to the court that they will be impartial. The victims never had a fair and just trial.

[inthewind21]

28. He's going NO WHERE

With any of these cases. And he's about to learn a lesson. He was the defendant of a very public, very high profile case. He flitted around to this show and that show and plastered himself all over the place in the media before, during and after the trial. He's now a public figure. Because he made himself one. He, very much like Palin, won't be able to meet the VERY high standard. Boo fucking hoo, someone called you a murderer. Good luck little boy. What's his material damage? Didn't republicans give him millions?

[The Grand Illuminist]

34. Hope for the best, expect the worst

as the old saying goes.

[spanone]

8. I'm so old I remember when republicans hated lawyers...

[UTUSN]

9. Next step for grifter, run for Repuke congresscritter, a shoo-in

[Initech]

10. He crossed state lines and murdered two people in cold blood!

And the fucking MAGA idiots cheered him on! We saw the whole damn thing on live TV! If that's not murder, I don't know what is! Fuck these morons!

[CrackityJones75]

17. Be did cross state lines

Just not with a gun. He didn’t live in Wisconsin.

[xmas74]

22. He was from Antioch,IL.

The event happened in Kenosha, WI.
Maybe he didn't cross with a weapon but he crossed state lines.

[underpants]

14. Oh Tucker, who knew being "the confused Muppet" would make you so much money

Of course they could actually put a hand puppet on at 8 and get the same ratings.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. First question: did you kill two humam beings with a gun?

Then you committed murder. You may not have been held criminally responsible, but you still murdeted.

[Dial H For Hero]

32. You can kill somebody without murdering them. Self-defense comes to mind immediately.

[Midnight Writer]

19. A civil jury may not work out so well for him. Burden of proof is lower.

Pissant is disappointed in the monetary return on his killings.

He was Flavor of the Day in conservative circles, but now he's grown stale.

He'll have trouble proving he is not a public figure (who have less protection under libel law) when he keeps appearing on TV and public events.

[scarletlib]

23. I so agree with you.

Hopefully one or more of the families are suing him.

[The Grand Illuminist]

35. Still too many people are corrupted by the media.

To get a fair civil trial.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

21. let's go Skippy

I hope he is spending his own money, but I know that weasel is not.

Can ASU sue this liar for saying he was a full time nursing student, when he never was?

[Vinca]

24. Hmmm . . . he suddenly seems to have lots of loot. He must have tapped into the

hate-for-cash business model. Time for the victims to sue him for every cent he ever makes in his lifetime. What a little scum. The only thing that surprises me is that Trump hasn't disowned Junior and adopted Rittenhouse.

[Whiskeytide]

25. Hey Tucks. Not really sure you should be ...

… doing a segment on people being able to more easily sue the media for saying things.

[Paladin]

29. Congrats on the profitable new line of work, Kyle honey.

Not surprised to see that murders will make you enough dough to keep your future grandkids on easy street.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. Rittenhouse seems firmly embedded in the new right culture of vexatious litigation

36. suing CNN worked out for the Covington Catholic school kid (Nick Sandmann whose lawyer was Lin Wood

and Kyle had Lin Wood for a lawyer at first too. Nick Sandmann settled with CNN but he sued other media outlets too. So maybe it'll work for poor little Kyle too.

[Beaverhausen]

37. Is he speaking at this weekend's CPAC?
