re: Is Kyle Rittenhouse a phony?

Here are some of the things he has said just this week:

- He supports BLM

---

He said he supported their right to protest peacefully, and followed that up with having a better understanding of how less fortunate people can and often are railroaded by the justice system, having been there himself and only saved thanks to his ability to raise a ton of cash. I think few people get a look into the justice system like he did, and it's eye opening once you do. it certainly does not make any and all claims of the BLM activists correct, but it does make it clear there are reforms that are needed within the system...though they mostly have nothing to do with race.

- He was a Andrew Yang supporter

---

FWIW, I was pretty intrigued with Yang after first hearing him on Rogan before he'd gotten on stage with the rest of the lefty loons in the debate process where he went full retard woke. He'd have never gotten my vote, but I liked the fact that he was thinking bigger picture, had a business background, and was actually talking about the very real issue of people being forced out of work due to coming automation. Didn't like his UBI idea (as we've seen it's a fricking disaster to hand free money to people for nothing) but at least he was talking about what's coming down the line.

- He said he fired Lin Wood for his beliefs in "QAnon and election fraud stuff."

---

I mean, while I think there was widescale fraud, neither Wood or Powell have shown us anything, despite having multiple platforms and now tons of time to prove their case. As for the Q stuff, yeah...I never payed any attention to that nonsense. And since Lin Wood was CLEARLY more focused on that issue than Kyle's, I'd have tossed him to the curb even faster than Kyle did. He was clearly using Kyle for politics and less interested in simply getting him out of jail and a not guilty verdict.

Kyle reminds me so much of my 19 year old son it's scary. Smart, sweet, naïve decent kid that doesn't really think deeply yet about big issues. It's all surface stuff. It's why there was no political or social stuff in his social media footprint. He wasn't out there that day/night for any political reasons. He was out there because some bad people had doe some bad things and him being a good guy wanted to help those that had been hurt and maybe help prevent more bad things from happening.

I don't fault the kid for any of that.

More that so that manu people on this board aren’t really any better than the leftists we don’t care for.

Downvote ratio would suggest that you and the others in the thread decrying "this board" are wrong.

As for the OP, a phony what? The kid never set himself up to be an example of anything.

Is this guy MAGA or not?

He's barely an adult and look where he grew up, that area broke hard for Biden (60-40). That's not the type of area where you can state you think BLM is largely a group of bigoted asshats just looking to legitimize their protection racket. Also, he just spent a lot of time being viciously attacked by the Left and supported by the Right.

I promise you that he doesn't know what he's saying regarding BLM. He doesn't fit in that organization. He means the same thing that most of these kids mean when they say that. He believes in the principle and has nothing in common with the Marxist, anti-American pieces of shite who are part of that group.

Is Kyle Rittenhouse a phony?

---

He dang sure wasn’t a phony on the night he defended himself x 3. I support the rights of left of center Americans to bear arms and defend themselves as well as mine.

With that said, I don’t think he’s as left in his political ideology as he’s portraying himself. I think trying to earn favorability in the eyes of the media and in the eyes of future civil jurors is at play here.

I don't care what his politics are, that young man demonstrated calm bravery in the face of more stress than 99% of the posters on this board have ever faced.

---

Exactly! He's taken out more commie scum than anyone on this board ever will. I don't care about his political views.

Yeah, its that goddamned "us vs them" shite that destroyed the Trump presidency.

Yes, Trump created that. If you'll just suck the left off they'll like you, I promise.

This might be the absolute dumbest shite that I've ever read on this site

he may be a sandy hook kid,the court room scenes may be fake
