Its pretty funny with some people are claiming he’s trans
I think it’s just reference to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molon_labe
It can be two things. Most people citing molon labe online like this have a desire to use their guns in self-righteous justification. This guy already has, got away with it, and was celebrated by terrible people. He also got on the outs with the same crowd that loved him by saying he wouldn’t vote for Trump over his gun rights record(then quickly tried to take it back when Maga went against him).
He wants his adoring fans back, perhaps not realizing they didn’t like him, they just like that he got away with fulfilling a fantasy many of them have: killing people they hate.
Imaginary fights in their head. What a sad life.
Imagine just living like this and fuming.
Not imaginary for this bitch. He crossed state lines to commit murder.
Weird thing to say to a retired command sergeant major. I bet he didn’t even intentionally cross state lines to murder someone either.
We are witnessing an idiot’s grift. There is no other place in the world for a Rittenhouse other than prison.
I’m Australian so being an english speaker on the internet I have an opinion on American politics because no matter how hard I try to escape it I cant. So if I have to hear about it incessantly Im going to keep throwing my half informed opinion in.
But FUCK ME is the Harris/Walz ticket well thought out. You have a sitting Dem VP who is female and a POC with a history of being “tough on crime” and a male white late middle aged former high ranking NCO veteran with a history of some super liberal policies in his midwestern home state…
The big, glaring thing they missed is that nobody really likes Harris. She did poorly in the primaries, had a terrible approval rating as VP, and her platform is basically Biden’s, and he had a pretty low approval rating as well. She has “diversity hire” written all over her.
That said, she ticks a lot of boxes and Americans tend to have pretty short memories, so I think she has a fighting chance. If she had a stronger campaign when she ran for President, she’d be a lock-in. I think she needs to sound like Obama to win the election.
I mean, absolutely fuck Rittenhouse to death, but isn’t it pretty likely that a retired sergeant major DID in fact cross state lines to murder?
It’s not murder when it’s Desert Storm
But that’s legal murder. Wait, they both committed legal murder then. Nevermind
MAYBE we just don’t kill at all? I don’t know, I’m just spitballing.
Reminds me of Ted Cruz:
[Harris’] record is extraordinarily radical. Let me say at the outset, Kamala can’t have my guns, she can’t have my gasoline engine, and she sure as hell can’t have my steaks and cheeseburgers.
He’s so transparently pandering.
Ted Cruz is smarter than all of this which is why I hate him more than MTG. She’s sad as shit because this is real to her. Ted is just a spineless grovelling coward with a shame kink who wants desperately to be powerful.
So many of them sound like they belong in an episode of Trailer Park Boys.
It’s a goddamn democrat samsquanch!
he’s so desperate to become relevant
Getting a real job is yucky and un-american
He’s has 2 civil lawsuits pending against him. Depending on the outcome, whatever assets he has may be taken away and wages garnished for the rest of his life.
relevance is overrated
He was relevant there for a hot minute when he spoke out against Trump, but now he’s doing whatever he can to get back in MAGA’s good graces.
Being relevant justifies his killings. He needs to feel relevant because without it he’s just someone who killed people, and that’s a much heavier weight to carry. Poor guy is going to have to live the rest of his life being a murderer that nobody likes, waaah 😭
Honestly I think he’s just trying to roll his notoriety, fame into easy money & a cushy career. His conscience is clear. This is about money. Occam’s razor.
He’s absolutely building a portfolio to eventually become a regular guest on Fox.
Wrong person survived that night
So you admit he was fighting for his life?
What a ridiculous thing to say. They didn’t insinuate that in any way.
The other gun would disagree with the validity of that.
Why did he cross state lines with a weapon after threatening violence?
Because it’s not against the law and had shit that he was doing there. You act like state borders are like national borders.
And what “shit” was he doing there?
Cleaning graffiti if I recall correctly. Cleaning up in general in a dangerous area subject to some riots.
HEY everyone, this guy ^^ was THERE THAT NIGHT! We should all RELY TO him with our detailed questions about the events that unfolded since he clearly knows and has witnessed the events and is therefore an unimpeachable source of objective truth on this subject!
Why weren’t you in the trial, out of curiosity? I’d have thought they’d be after your testimony, you know, since you know all this stuff and are really smart. Just wondering…
Dude. He was found not guilty. If there was evidence of him being there for no reason other than to kill somebody then I’m sure he would have been convicted. I remember fairly well that he retreated but got attacked by a guy trying to hit him in the head with a skateboard (weapon) and shooting the arm of a felon brandishing a handgun at him.
I’m sure Kyle is glad you’re out here white-knighting for him.
Whatever you say bro.

I didn’t remember it perfectly, but certainly a lot that is ignored by those who hate Rittenhouse. I was mistaken when I said the guy with the handgun is a felon. He WAS a felon and seems like an all around piece of shit, but his felony was expunged so he was legally allowed to possess a firearm. He did have a loaded handgun in his hand when approaching Kyle though.
He was, but it’s not self-defense if the only reason you are in that situation is because you created it.
If I put myself and another person in some room that’s rigged to lock and not unlock until the other person is dead… Technically I am fighting for my life, but it’s not self-defense because this wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t seek this out intentionally…
And that’s basically what Rittenhouse did waving that gun around
The court disagrees. Just because somewhere is dangerous, doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to be there. If you want to go somewhere dangerous and you do not want to be at more risk, you bring protection.
Don’t fuck around if you don’t want to find out.
It’s not that he went that out all, it’s that there was a boatload of evidence implying that killing was his motive for wanting to go in the first place.
Self-defense is a response to a threat from someone else, “putting yourself” into a situation doesn’t change that. If that were true, we’d be free to blame victims of other crimes (e.g. cyclists and pedestrians hit by cars) for putting themselves into dangerous situations. But that’s absolutely not the case, it’s not my fault if a car hits me while I’m legally riding/walking on the side of the road, nor is it my fault that someone attacks me because I’m holding a firearm.
That said, Rittenhouse was a minor and AFAICT not legally allowed to possess a firearm in that situation. That is the problem here, and anyone who enabled him to bring a firearm to that situation should be held at least partially accountable. But his actions in the moment were self-defense.
The guy he shot was a pedo. - and a felon*?
Edit : Not sure about downvotes. Probably the few pedos on here saddened their numbers are thinning out. https://apnews.com/article/shootings-gun-politics-58c52e6d36475b5e7cd79ccaeffb5416
Whether the person he shot was a convicted or suspected felon is absolutely irrelevant, vigilante justice is no justice at all, not to mention that he had no way of knowing anything about the people he shot.
That said, I absolutely believe all three were legitimate self-defense. The problem here isn’t that he shot people in self-defense, but that he was a minor in possession of a firearm. Anyone who enabled him to bring that firearm to Kenosha should be held responsible (if they haven’t already).
I agree with all of your points.
I am willing to bet kyle is one too.

“If you don’t agree with the extrajudicial execution of a person by an 18-year old dipshit, you’re a pedophile”
Seriously, put some attempt in please. That is just fucking lazy
Not what I said. The things I said were two different statements. Don’t come at me cause you’ve got small skeletons in your closet.
That’s a joke.
You’re right, what I meant was the guy deserves some sympathy because he’s dead. The guy does not deserve sympathy based on his previous actions, AND he tried to kill some kid.
Kyle is objectively in the right here, but he shouldn’t have been where he was, doing what he was doing. Fuck Kyle. I’m not condoning him.
Not sure about downvotes. Probably the few pedos on here saddened their numbers are thinning out.
You’re trying to claim ^ that doesn’t clearly imply that people who downvoted your comment were “probably pedos”?
Eh. Is this really worth the effort? For either of us?
I like forums. If you don’t, then don’t use them.
Especially don’t use them if you don’t have the moxy to stand behind your own words. Word’s which you said. Which go like this:
Not sure about downvotes. Probably the few pedos on here saddened their numbers are thinning out.
You’re trying to walk back the thing you now realise was pretty silly to wrote down. So youre trying to ignore your bs while still replying something.
You directly implied people who disagree with you are pedophiles. What an intellectual take.
Yea you said that part already cause it’s what I said. By that logic if you are disagreeing that this isn’t worth the time to keep going back and forth about youre probably a pedophile.
I like forums too 🙂. I also realIze what I said was fucking weird and back tracked a bit. If you let this go, I’m sure your experience here will be ever so slightly less negative. There’s plenty of other things to be doing on Lemmy then arguing with someone who’s joke didn’t land for you specifically.
It would be entirely easier to call me a dick out loud, chuckle at how much better you are for thinking a different opinion and moving on.
Hey, Trump is both of those things too, per courts of law. You must be pretty broken up he survived the attempt, huh?
I’m voting for Harris…
What is like to simp for a useless little rightwing murderer?
…I think he’s saying he wished Rittenhouse was dead. Since he was the survivor.
Go ahead and take it. He’ll just cry and whine to the 2A nuts.
Yes, but thats just allowed now. 🤷♂️
He looks like such a soft, little cupcake. Why do all these new Republicans look like they’re wearing guyliner?
Nothing wrong with that BTW, just noticing a trend. Are they not getting enough sunlight in the closet?

Have you not seen how their leader looks? He’s a pudgy bag of fat, and malice.
One can only pound so many McDonald cheeseburgers in accordance with their identity before it begins to have an effect.
A funny response from Woke Hagan.
He figured he already got away with three murders, he can do it again.
Secret Service, arrest this… I will not call him a man…
His Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill.
Phew, for a minute there I lost myself.
Tampon Tim will stop the red wave.
Shittenhouse makes an excellent use case for drone strikes, I have to admit.
I really like Walz and hate Rittenhouse but this is not a death threat in any way. Plus Walz is a hunter and owns guns.
It’s 100% an implied threat.
