Kyle Rittenhouse's family plead for money as they face eviction - eviltoast

Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”

      I mean, maybe? But other than wild speculation, is there any evidence?

      Fucking /s because those of you that don’t get it are dumb enough to think The Boys got all anti-you all of a sudden too.

        Dude, you absolutely need the /s on this one. There are people who authentically say this. And they read your comment thinking you and the upvoters all support that same belief too

        He did drive up to Ohio to shoot people.

        those of you that don’t get it are dumb

        I wish I didn’t know people who would say that shit entirely unironically.

          Not defending him, but it was Wisconsin, in a city less than 30 minutes from where he lived, barely across state lines.

          This case is fucked in so many ways, and it’s even worse because nobody remembers any of the details right.

          lmao you don’t even have the state right.

          He went there to shoot people

          Yeah, that’s why he showed up and did zero non-benevolent things for hours, and then when a maniac literally screamed a death threat at him (in response to Rittenhouse putting out a dumpster fire he started), his immediate reaction was to run away.

          Literally the only people shot by Rittenhouse that day were people who tried to kill him, and then DIDN’T LET HIM run away when he tried to flee, which was his consistent first reaction to all aggression directed at him. Everyone who got shot CHASED him when he fled, cornered him, and then tried to murder him, forcing him to use his weapon to save his own life.

          Those are the facts.

          I’m glad I don’t know anyone dumb enough to unironically claim he intended to shoot people. There is so much publicly available evidence, it’s frankly secondhand embarrassing to see, even online.

            Unless everyone after the first shooting had all that context, they were just standing their ground against a murdering fuck stick

              Literally the opposite of the truth, lmao. They didn’t “stand their ground”, they CHASED Kyle as he ran away! And that was after they accosted him while he was running TOWARD the police line, to report what happened with the first attacker.

      No no, see he shot a registered sex offender (which he couldn’t have possibly known at the time)!

        And even if he did know it, vigilante justice is not a route society should go down.

          Or was he trying to keep the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters from shooting them?

          The problem is, we will never know now.

            Literally a lie, lol.

            There is video, you cretins, stop making claims directly contradicted by the evidence.

              How do you know it is “literally a lie?” Because all the footage I’ve seen starts with him already being chased.

              Let’s see this video of what he was doing directly before the chase started.

          “That guy” being Rittenhouse who specifically went there with a firearm with the intention to stir up shit? He was absolutely hoping he’d get to murder someone, and surprise surpise – he did exactly that

              The little fascist went to a counter protest with a rifle as an agitator. He was looking for a reason to use that gun, and definitely manufactured the exact thing he was looking for. Don’t be such an utter dipshit.

                    FWIW I think it depends on intent. You could be showing up with a rifle in support of the protestors (which has happened, especially in 2020).

                    I think the ‘left’ should also step up their game and open carry, if they want to be taken more seriously by:

                    Some of those that work forces [1] Are the same that burn crosses

                    …but… we must not forget what may follow if they do, planning is also really important as well as having legal counsel and video footage of all interactions:

                    Wrong. It’s an open carry state, there was nothing strange about it.

                    If it was such a “provocation”, then why did nobody give a shit when he showed up, even though it was super obvious he was armed with a long rifle? How come he walked around for hours doing his thing (handing out water bottles, giving basic medical care to whoever asked (at least 8 people according to evidence and trial testimony), etc.), and literally nobody gave a shit, while he had that rifle on him the whole time?

                    Rosenbaum literally screamed “I’m going to kill you” at Rittenhouse, and for what? Because he put out Rosenbaum’s dumpster fire.

                    Get real.

                    Actions speak louder than words, especially when those words are a teen talking big to his friends.

                    The fact is, nothing he did in Kenosha supports the claim that he wanted to kill anyone, period, and everything he did directly contradicts it. He showed zero aggression toward anyone, and his first response to aggression toward him was to RUN AWAY, every single time. Bottom line, none of the people who got shot would have gotten shot if they had let him run away.
