Why do you think there was so much blatant media misinformation and exaggeration over the Rittenhouse incident?

I never gave two fucks about Kyle either way. He didn't kill any black people.
I bring this up because they tried to force black people to care about it.
Anybody trash my sister shop they getting rittenhoused lol.
Anyway

the liberal media needs a villain to keep their numbers up.

Look at buzz feed and cnn their views have drastically dropped since trump left office. They became liars, opinions and clickbait more than news.

Democrats in general have nothing to stand on so they need diversion.

[SiberFox]

Kyle is white, Kyle defended himself with lethal force against convicted felons. This is bad for media and politicians that want the average joe to be too afraid to defend themselves. It's bad optics.

[goaded]

Ah, now, that's interesting that you say "lethal force against convicted felons". Because there was absolutely no way that Rittenhouse knew that at the time he shot them, was there? So what bearing would it have had on the case?

That's a case of media bias, as well.

[OlderAndWiser]

Main stream morons acting in concert with the Democrat Party to fuel the racial divide and encourage identity politics.

[normalice]

Right wingers poured millions into his defense fund. Most of that went towards misinformation. Indeed people probably wouldn't have even cared about the case if not for that. But the right's interest turned it into a proxy for the question "is it okay to get snarling mad and murder people if they try to take my stuff?" Which is a furry proxy for the question "should we abandon the concept of civilization and settle for being dumb animals driven entirely by what we think will make us feel better?" I guess the barbarians won that one. But they lost the Aubrey case days later so, meh...

[goaded]

I'm still waiting for the trial of the prosecutor who decided they shouldn't be charged.

[Texaskid1]

The left does not like the idea of self - defense much less self-defense involving fire arms. They want people to be afraid of the mob ( and notice how most mobs in the US are made up of leftists?). They will use the mob to intimidate others that do not share their belief. The left tried to use Rittenhouse to intimidate Americans into not defending themselves when needed. This way people are easier to intimidate and rule over.

[BeMuse]

The corporate media are enemies of America. They were unleashed upon the citizenry after Obama repealed anti propaganda laws in 2013. They are part of a larger criminal conspiracy to bring down America.

[ShadezMcgee]

Political gain and shaping viewpoints via chosen narrative about issues stemming from race, second amendment and the right of self-defense. Think of it kind of like Stockholm syndrome with the end state being accepting this as the new norm.

[exitseven]

Because the media wanted to portray him a a white supremacist who came to Wisconsin to kill protestors. He was not really assaulted and the second amendment should be repealed so that nobody will be able to defend themselves.

[joeldalton]

If this doesn't prove the media is the enemy of the people, nothing will. It was to get "their guy" elected president.

[Robber_Baron]

Np doubt. That guy has been a victim of character assassination.

[jahaims]

The same reason misinformation happens on any topic in the media. To push an agenda

[jshm2]

There wasn't. If anything the opposite was true.

Hint White people Hint: Republicanism

[Zeldaismyqueen]

That the guy who grabbed a gun and ammo drove across state lines and murdered 3 people and got away with it because he is white? That guy?

[SiberFox]

This is what he meant by misinformation, find better news sources.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

@SiberFox did he pull the trigger? Did the people he pointed the gun at die from a billet wound? Just answer those two questions. Simple yea or no

[Asker]

@Zeldaismyqueen

It’s interesting that you used the word “murdered” and the phrase “because he’s white.”

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

People see racism where it doesn’t exists, just like during the Salem Witch Trials.

Seeing witches where none exist.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

Yes or no? I asked you two simple questions. Can’t even answer them straight can you?

[SiberFox]

Ok, but you have to answer mine aswell.
Yes he pulled the trigger, yes 2/3 people he shot died.
My turn!
Where they attacking him with lethal intent?
Where they armed with weapons?
Was he alone facing more than one attacker?
Should he have just layed down and died?
Be honest!

[Asker]

Then, giving me an ultimatum/trap question.

There’s only one way you want me to answer

Or two

Either answer gets me trapped.

I also understand this tactic as well.

Try again courageous anonymous woman.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

@SiberFox lol thanks for admitting he murdered people. It’s not self defence if you put yourself into a dangerous situation voluntarily lol. Americans are psychotic about guns, no wonder they kill each other like 10 times more than any other country on earth.

[Asker]

He didn’t murder people though.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

Lol what kind of loser spends his time on the internet defending a murderer. American gun culture is psychotic and idiotic.

[SiberFox]

You didn't answer my question proving you aren't genuine about the topic, you just parrot whatever you've been told to. You'd let people willingly hurt you, even maybe kill you, because you think defending yourself is wrong.

[Zeldaismyqueen]

In my country, if you point a gun at a person, pull the trigger and then they die from bullet wounds caused by the bullet coming out of your gun, we call that murder. America has stupid laws and an insanely high murder rate, so have fun with that

[Asker]

@SiberFox

Bro, I assume you’re smart.

Do you see the game she’s playing?

No common sense will work

No actual court ruling will work

Or facts

She’s made up her mind and wants to find validation through how she gets us to answer her baiting questions.

[Asker]

Her mind is too fogged up by “America is racist,” “America and their guns,” etc.


This is her fundamental belief.

Everything else that tries to prove this wrong will fail.

It’s a deep seated belief in her.

[SiberFox]

@embracethepain Oh I know, but sometimes feeding the troll can yield interesting results lmao

[Zeldaismyqueen]

You live in a county where people shoot each other an order of magnitude more than anywhere else on earth that’s not a war zone. A kid accidentally shoots themselves every 8 hours. This is the culture you are defending? Where a guy can murder people and get away with it? It’s psychotic, is just so stupid. Guns are more important than people’s lives? Give your stupid American head a shake

[Zeldaismyqueen]

@SiberFox Americans like guns because they are long and hard like an erect penis and show virility. Because in reality they are stupid and weak people. American gun nuts are allergic to learning

[SiberFox]

@Zeldaismyqueen If you equate guns to dicks thats your problem lol

[goaded]

@SiberFox I'll have a quick go:

"Where they attacking him with lethal intent?"
No. They were chasing someone they'd seen shoot and kill a person, and at least one was using a skateboard, not known as the most deadly weapon on Earth.

"Where they armed with weapons?"
One, the one he shot that survived, had a firearm. The others had a skateboard and nothing other than a shopping bag that he'd already thrown when shot to death.

"Was he alone facing more than one attacker?"
Yes.

"Should he have just layed down and died?"
He could have surrendered. They were in full view of the police by then. The police who let him walk through their lines with a still-warm gun.

Caused by the political class.

[emperor90]

Because people like drama

[Dargil]

Leftist narratives dominate the news cycle.

[WowwGirl]

I lv Kyle

[SiberFox]

He's a good boy

[WowwGirl]

@SiberFox gotta stand for something
