I mean, we just have a guy saying that still.
I mean he clearly looks like him. I thought that they were trying to say the first guy was him, and I was thinking no way, but then as soon as he came into view, it was obvious that the guy looked exactly like him.

In addition, how many of those distinct American Flag crocs do you think people are wearing?

In addition, two cars pass by and look to have Wisconsin license plates (he grew up just across the border). Plus I’m sure it’s easy to verify the location from other landmarks, cellphone metadata, plus the location of the individuals who filmed it (cell phone numbers).

So he looks like him; he dressed like him; he’s in the right location; and those who filmed it say it was him. Altogether, it seems pretty likely to be him.

And until we have this information, I'm going to continue to be skeptical of a "journalist" confirming it without any additional factual information.

Because lord knows journalists always tell the truth, and there's already been a shite ton of misinformation spread about the kid.

People like you saying this over and over doesn't make it true. Kyle was rather up front about why he was there, and it was all documented.



You’ll take a 17year old’s word about why he was there after he already shot people? If he was there looking for conflict do you think he would say so?

It seems like there are lots of pieces of shot involved in these videos

Why should his past discretions be ignored, but not others.
Alton Sterling, George Floyd, Jacob Blake....... You can go on. Their past was ignored. Shouldn't everyone be treated the same?

there’s a lot of punchable women out there operating under the guise of unpunchable because female. I’m all for raising awareness on this topic and punching more counts

Definitely looks like him and he got involved after the girls started fighting. Taking a few swings at her vs trying to separate them is not a good look for sure. But same as the rest that all got involved after he got involved street fighting does not look good on anyone. It ended with about 3-4 folks beating on him and him crawling away. Looked like a dozen people started swinging at each other in some form or fashion. I would guess it was part of the reason he was armed while at the riots to avoid getting attacked by the mob again.

PS he was probably fighting commies as a warm up for the riots.

I mean we can see the Wisconsin plates on numerous cars so it matches there. And a journalist lying about this, despite what you may think of journalists, is not a career advancing move, ESPECIALLY for a local journalist.

Except that he explained why he was there prior to any of it happening, to include rendering first aid to protesters, all documented by the NYT and verified by the reporter that was there during the whole thing, Rich McGinnis.

I see you conveniently left out where Trayvon Martin physically attacked Zimmerman prior to being shot.

Typical.

I like how it says he’s beating an underage female.

They’re the same age.

I know that he said it prior. I also know that people lie, 17 year olds lie. 17 year olds who punch girls from behind them don’t seem like people we should just trust.

Wow, you automatically assume this is the same kid.

I don't even think it's necessarily that the journalist is purposefully lying.

How many times have journalists completely gotten a story wrong just to try to get those likes and clicks?

That's why whenever I see something like this, just a video with zero additional evidence to go with it, I'm highly skeptical until it's actually verified.

Especially concerning this whole situation.
