You mean like the black kid from a month or 2 ago? Shot up u school and the media were throwing themselves to defend him as a victim of "racism".
Them being bullied isn't a defense, its the reason.
Ill agree the video game thing is bullshit
That kid had actually had evidence of previous bullying. He had been robbed and targeted by bullies but the media only put pictures of his mug shot, they never put any pictures of him when he was a child like they’re doing for the Michigan shooter
It also really wasn’t a school shooting in the standard sense, it was a physical altercation on school grounds that escalated
doesn't matter if he had evidence, doesn't give him the right to open fire.
Why would they put his kid pics up?
Yes it does. If Kyle rittenhouse is allowed to go Scott free with zero charges after he illegally obtained a gun and murder people why isn’t this guy allowed to go Scott free? One can make the strong defense he was using self defense since he was robbed and targeted in the past
Because he didn't have the gun illegally and he didn't murder anyone.
He was legally allowed to carry the weapon amd thank fuck he did or hed be killed by the 3 scum that attacked him.
No. One cannot make a strong defense for him using self defense because of the past.
Self defense only applies when actively attacked.
If someone bullied you 1 year ago, you dont get to shoot them today. Thats not how SD works.
You’re just making shit up now i see
Which part
At least they talk about it. Where are the news about the black dude who killed 6 people with his car a couple of weeks ago, because he was openly a white supremacist? Don't hear about him anymore.
Should we also remind you how glorified is Georges Floyd, despite being a shitty human being?
Or any black criminal by the way, always presented as a victim of whatever bullshit media can find.
Black supremacist*
Correcting, my bad.
First off, the car killed those people.
We don't know who did it or why, but even if it was a black man, he doesn't have the agency to be condemned as a criminal. These people are just socialised by the system, don't you know? Morality requires choice and these poor black people aren't capable of making choices. If you think about it, he's the victim of white supremacy, which made him commit the crime.
I'm not even sure if this is satire or not.
@Nomoturtle I was getting ready to throw hands before realizing.
That's how far we are, when you can't even tell what's satire and what is real.
Do t think we do honestly. More like a criminal celebrity. Which is way wrong.
Criminal celebrity perfect describes Kyle rittenhouse right now 😂 the right claims they dislike violence yet go on to support a teen who murdered people with an illegal obtained gun? The hypocrisy is showing
I never heard anything about this kid being bullied. It was reported that he had psych issues. Why they released him to the general population is beyond me. Usually the fake news tries to portray them as little Trump supporters.
His parent were trump supporters, that’s not fake news
The gun used in the shooting was purchased by the parents on Black Friday
I did not hear that about his parents and the fake news usually all over that.
This isn’t fake news you can literally find this out based on their Facebook pages
For context this was a letter Ethan crumbles mom made to trump about being pro gun
This is what the media does.
They have a narrative and will spin it to keep their viewers thinking how they want them too.
They are the puppet masters, and the viewers are there puppets
I think it’s obviously a mistake to think every example of bullying would end up with a shooting. It’s probabilistic, stochastic, you never know how it’s going to unfold, so you looking for a deterministic conclusion is just wrong.
They don’t portray them as victims, they use them as an example of what’s wrong with society and how it’s failing our children. We should be addressing the actual issues and not just the symptoms if we ever want things to change.
Wait.. aren’t they charging this kid as an adult though? They are also going after his parents. The news will always angle in a way that gives them high ratings.
Why do you black people always care about white people so much and white shooters, please shut up you sound dumb and no nothing about race you nasty ugly black woman
Nah, pissing people like you off on this site is far more entertaining. But thanks 😊
Plus you look retarded in your pic, you're ugly asf
You’re not very good at this whole insulting thing are you?
No you're a piece of shit
Ironic the person that’s full of shit says that
You're full shit bitch shut the fuck up
You sure are a feisty little old man
Forget to take your meds today?
If they stopped romanticizing it then people would stop doing it and then the media would have to find something else to justify themselves over.
The media is all around evil why even bother trying to make sense of it.
sounds to me like you're just a racist "no factual evidence of bullying going on" like we need any? we can tell via common sense?
Proud racist by your logic
The mentally ill always see themselves as victims and the media reinforces their fiction that they are, It's about promoting the lunatic to the top of society. They are trying to prove that America and it's Democracy doesn't work. They are promoting communism as the future system of America.
They claim black people are victims all the time too. This is why some posters fraudulently claim that everything is racist.
Cause they are brain dead media zombies.
Because American democracy is a lie. We aren’t a democracy and maybe you’d know that if you actually did your research. We’re literally the most brain dead hypocritical shithole in the world. Americans think the entire world revolves around them and that shows in our politics and legislation
If American Democracy is a lie then there is only one thing it could be in reality. A Communist Authoritarian state. And anyone that hates Democracy has the desire to keep it that way instead of reforming it back into a Democracy.
Wake up little girl, Stop contradicting yourself.
America is authoritarian. The vast majority are wage slaves. Cogs in a broken machine that can be replaced.
If you ask me I find it very authoritarian how the US wants to build a wall to keep out the “terrorists” despite domestic right wing terrorists being the biggest threat in our country.
It’s very authoritarian the Us will start pointless wars just to take control over a countries *cough* oil
The media is entirely bullshit and should closed down ditto currency and education
Nothing like communism to make things spicy
Mandatory cannibalism here we come
Brain dead activities right here
Soon it will be the norm
You do realize that under capitalism white people used to eat black people?
www.ucl.ac.uk/.../white-cannibalism-slave-trade-curious-case-schooner-arrogante
Yeah cannibalism has really only been frowned upon for the past 200 years or so before that it was pretty commonplace unless it was riddled with the bubonic plague or similar it was a waste of meat to not eat only times it's been okay recently were survival situations like flight 571
At least they portray them. The media almost never discusses shooters of different colors. The only reason that recent black boy was talked about was because they'd thought he was white; and he was painted as a victim more than anyone I've ever seen.
The media is in there hands n both of them the shooter n the media are fucked up puppets.
So why do you care about the media, only dumb people will agree with that.. It all goes both ways but you choose to be biased
Um i don't recall them don't that at all but the media did with Timothy George Simpkins in Taxes, who is Black and somehow only got charged for manslaughter instead of attempted murder.
People love to use this example just to miss the point and it expose their own racism/ignorance. That boy actually was being bullied and targeted, he was robbed. Which is why his family argued it was in self defense.
The real question is why do you have an issue with this but not an issue with people like Kyle rittenhouse? It’s hypocrisy at its finest
Any Kyle rittenhouse actually murdered people to but it’s ok cause it was self defense right? Despite him illegally obtaining the weapon and looking for a fight
Give me a break be truthful for once
He was not bullied. He is involved in gang activities. He is at school where he shouldn't have a gun. Shot the kid and others after the compensation was broken up. This is what the investigation found.
As for Kyle you didn't watch the trial obviously because everything you said was debunked.
“He was not bullied. He is involved in gang activities”
There’s literally no proof of that.
“He was at school where he shouldn’t have a gun”
Who cares, if Kyle rittenhouse is able to illegally obtain a gun and murder two people in self defense why do you care if this kid uses a gun in self defense after he was beaten up by them?
“As for Kyle toy didn’t watch the trial obviously because everything you said was debunked” I did watch the trial. If everything I said was debunked than you’d think you’d be able to “debunk” it for me
www.google.com/.../%3foutputType=amp
You can literally read on this, you’re just too lazy and hypocritical
"There’s literally no proof of that."
The sheriff's report says otherwise

"Who cares, if Kyle rittenhouse is able to illegally obtain a gun and murder two people in self defense why do you care if this kid uses a gun in self defense after he was beaten up by them?"
Its not murder when its in self defense! The goal is to stop the treat, if death is what comes of that then thats still justified. Kyle only shoot people that were an immediate threat to him, unlike Timothy Simpkins.
"I did watch the trial. If everything I said was debunked than you’d think you’d be able to “debunk” it for me"
Ok Kyle's home address was across state lines; however his father lives in Kenosha, his friends live in Kenosha, he works in Kenosha, he even said he spends more time there than in his home state, he only traveled 30 minutes to get there when Gage (the one that was shot in the arm) drove 20 min farther. Kyle's gun was purchased legally by his friend and when Kyle would go home it stayed in Wisconsin. Kyle never pointed his gun at anyone all night. Everyone he ended up having to shoot all had rap sheets, one was wife/girlfriend beater, Rosenbaum was a child molester, and Gage had felonies making it be illegal for him to be in possession of a gun. Kyle hads no record at all.
The latest one was the parents allowing the boy to have a gun
Let’s stop talking about the shooters and let’s give everything to the actual victims. What about the teen boy who tried to stop him but ended up dying? He lost his life and the nfl did a story about this Bc he played football
True. The media treats the victims like trash, just look at how angry republicans got at the parkland school shooting survivors who were pro gun control !
Same reason why they portray black men who get killed by cops as thugs. Fox News in particular. White is right in this society and in many cultures
