Obviously a lone liberal is SUCH a threat that their entire mob must attack.

I am a peaceful person, but I'm starting to think the only way liberals will get gun control is if we start being them.


Come into that group with an AR-15 with 100 round magazines and that one girl could have left them all in pieces.


IS THAT WHAT IT WILL TAKE?


Do Libs have to SHOW the Thugs that they ARE WRONG about gun control by using their gun memes against them?

Legal male adult yes, but I doubt he'll ever be a man. All hope was lost when he not only got off scott free but managed to get a paycheck out of it too.

Edit to add link:

https://www.courthousenews.com/judge-limits-pool-of-evidence-in-rittenhouse-murder-case/

"One of Binger’s motions sought to bring video evidence from June 2020 showing Rittenhouse assaulting a girl that was in a fight with his sister; another related to video from about two weeks before the protest shooting showing Rittenhouse at a CVS saying he wished he had his AR-15 to shoot people he thought were committing a crime at the store."

"Binger pointed to this and other evidence as proving Rittenhouse is 'essentially a teenage vigilante involving himself in things that don’t concern him,' further calling him a 'chaos tourist.'l

"Corey Chirafisi, a Madison-based attorney for Rittenhouse’s defense, felt the two incidents were irrelevant and added nothing to an understanding of Rittenhouse’s state of mind or motive. Schroeder agreed, saying the evidence was trying to prove Rittenhouse’s propensity for violence even though the two incidents had nothing to do with the protest shootings."

it's perfectly applicable. "Pussy" is short for 'pusillanimous' person. It is not calling a person a 'vagina.'

It was posted last November and only has 600 views and nine thumbs ups. That's one thumbs up for each subscriber to this anonymous youtuber.

I think that if there was any truth to this, we would have known about it long ago.

I recognize the background. It's in a parking lot in downtown Kenosha, a couple of blocks from the lake. Others from the area verified it as him.

The video was posted on social media before the events in Kenosha. This is someone else who reshared it.

I was there visiting last summer. I immediately recognized the area shown in the video.

I do wonder if this video and the one of him sitting in front of a CVS on 57th had been submitted in court would the verdict be the same?

...he throws punches like that, he's getting his nose broken.
That punch came from a different zip code.
But, if he's cowardly hitting from behind, i guess it doesn't matter.
He better not get in a one to one fight, though. Killer boy will get creamed.

But, I actually have been taught how to spar, and have Aikido and JUdo experience, quite a bit. So, he is stronger than me, but if I got him by surprise to counteract that some, I could lay him out then run like hell! hahahaha

He really sucks.

That looks to be easy. He can't keep his balance, his punch went arm's length outside his frame.
A person throwing a punch, missing wildly and off-balance is an easy target.
Besides, a hard open hand slap to the face would have him crying like an infant.

It wouldn't have been admissible, just like the video of Rittenhouse talking about wishing he had his gun to deal with shoplifters.

This incident had nothing to do with the crimes with which he was charged. Apart from that, an acquittal from a jury can't be overturned. A new trial could be ordered in certain circumstances but that's about it.

He's going to Texas A & M.

That's a school that always had a spot in it's heart for shooters.

https://www.politicalflare.com/2022/06/humiliating-kyle-rittenhouse-said-hes-attending-texas-am-university-says-no-hes-not/?utm_source=right-rail-latest

During a radio appearance last week, Kyle Rittenhouse did his best impression of a high school athlete announcing his college choice on National Signing Day — placing a Texas A&M hat he pulled from under a table on his head.

“I’m going to be going there, and it’s going to be awesome,” said Rittenhouse, who shot three people, two of them fatally, during a 2020 racial-justice protest in Kenosha, Wis.

But a university official said on Sunday that Rittenhouse isn’t attending. “He has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall,” Texas A&M spokeswoman Kelly Brown said in an email.

And this is a bit of a problem for Kyle because Texas A&M is not your local community college that is under an obligation to accept everyone with the proper qualifications (which is almost everyone). No, Texas A&M is one of two fairly prestigious Texas public universities (along with UT Austin) and only 58% of applicants are admitted to Texas A&M. Given that it is a Texas public school, it would be much harder to be accepted as a non-Texan. Additionally, we’ve seen nothing to indicate that Kyle would fit in that top half that gets accepted.


Happy DU Anniversary, Conjuay!
