Kyle probably was advised to say this if he wants to increase his chances of not getting killed. We saw what the BLM movement did to cops a few years back and what they likely did tonight in Wisconsin.

Do NOT hold this statement against Kyle he's walked the walk more than anyone. He's a Great kid.

The movement is based on the belief that unarmed black men are disproportionately killed by the police. It’s a false narrative.

I don’t believe in any movement that is founded on a false narrative.

The mistake is to say you agree with the movement meaning you acknowledge black men are disproportionately killed. The problem will not change because it is rooted in the fact that black men commit more acts of violence for various reasons. This means you are admitting there is systemic racism and it’s not going to be fixed.

They will never be satisfied.

I doubt BLM believes he is sincere a bout them. Trying to suck up to them probably makes it worse for him. They are a terrorist organization and don't show sympathy to anyone.

If he wanted security then he should have kept his mouth shut and escaped to a red state in the middle of the night. Now that makes it harder for him to find shelter as many people aren't going to help anyone that supports BLM in red states.

Are you expecting this to change opinions on the case? It might do that for weak-willed lunatics like yourself, but this has no bearing on my thoughts about it.

To me it looks like he supports the part of the movement that is fighting against prosecutorial misconduct.

Doesn't change the fact that it was self defense.

And conservatives aren't the ones who want someone to go to prison for having a "bad" opinion.

Wasn't Kyle pictured at a Trump rally? Not that it means you couldn't still support some aspects of BLM but it seems super rare

He’s a teenager. Probably doesn’t realize that racist organizations are indeed racist. You surely do though right?

There is nothing untrue about that statement. However, prosecutorial misconduct affects everybody not just blacks.

How is it the people cannot grasp a very simple and straight forward concept. Yes, the judicial system is broken, but the failures are not limited to just one group. They are across the board.

The fact that one group commits far more crimes than they are in proportion to the population as a whole is not the fault of the judicial system. There is some thing else that play.

And to quote the latest joker movie, I’m sick and tired of people pretending it isn’t.

This has nothing to do with his case. He was not guilty but he shouldn't have said that if he wants security. You NEVER try to get security from the left by pleasing them. BLM sees him as a symbol of the right and nothing will change that. You either join one side or the other. If not you will be ripped apart.

He has the right to say what he believes in but words do have consequences.

Yes he posted video from a Trump rally. His mom and him are MAGA AF. His mom hates Joe Biden.

He's probably just trying to not be attacked by yet another violent leftist mob.

This sounds like a well advised PR move to me before he sends an army of lawyers into the CNN building and White House

That isn't going to help him. No comment and haul arse to a red state.

We have to remember he is still a kid. Beyond being an obvious supporter of the 2nd Amendment and a Trump supporter, he probably is not following these stories and narratives as closely or obsessively as we do on this board.

The damn kid has been through the ringer and his entire existence has now been inexorably changed. I’ll cut him some slack: he has earned it.
