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."

That's actually him learning that one of the people he shot at survived. Just a reminder, this shithead crossed state lines to dump gas on the fire of a protest and riot caused by disgusting, racially motivated circumstances.

He wanted to kill some people that night, so he brought a big gun. His success resulted in a lot of free money from the folks that want everyone else struggling to survive without violating a ten commandment to go hungry.

The "crossed state lines" thing really irks me because does nobody know that maps exist? I'm thinking about crossing state lines today because I need to get more baby wipes. Shithead went to the next town over, which just so happened to be in a different state.

But let's also not forget he went and partied with KKK members immediately after posting his crowdfunded bail, just in case there's any questions on how much of a shithead he is

The straw purchase of the murder weapon the judge shrugged and tossed on a whim is something that can land you in jail for 10 years.

There was a parallel case to Rittenhouse: Andrew Coffee IV. He was acquitted in his case but the charge of his weapon possession is what got him 10 years.

But Rittenhouse's judge figured hey, NBD, and everybody clapped.

I've lived in the edge of a state before. It's really hard to miss what side of the populated area is one state or another, and the fact that there are laws about crossing. I knew if I went shooting in CA I needed to keep my ammunition and firearm in seperate compartments, unloaded, and that I couldn't have friends buy me a gun to take across if I couldn't legally buy it myself. And I was just shooting clay pigeons, not my racially hated neighbors.

I sure as hell know which side of the state border my town is on is the one where I don't want to be caught with weed in my car.

He's a prick but everyone he shot was the same race as him.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I'm sure that disappointed him deeply, the blatant racism isn't erased by this. He's publicly linked himself to well known racists, he's not shy about it, also he clearly went in the hopes of killing black people, pretty sure he said as much before he left.

I'm not arguing that he isn't racist. Just wanted to make sure you understood the situation properly so as not to spread misinformation.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Also I don't know if you know this, but most white supremacist would be more inclined to kill ''race traitors'' before killing other races in many situations.

I'm not saying he killed who he intended to kill. I'm saying my plan was to shoot clay pigeons. His plan was to shoot BLM protestors.

you think they don't covet their neighbors wives, take the lord's name in vain, worship false idols/put other gods before "him" and don't steal?
