He’s not a vigilante. He is a nascent mass murderer who happened to get away with it.

Basically his lament is
“Why can’t I make more money off my fleeting infamy?”

The media made it hard for him to “live a normal life”?

He made it impossible for two people to LIVE.

How’s he going to make ‘the media’ “pay?” By shooting up a news station?

Right? The acquittal was correct, but take it and stay the hell out of the limelight for a few years. Strikes me as an idiot of the first order, so maybe he figures this is his one-and-only chance to make a buck. Better not to whine about it.

Good. Much harder for the people you murdered, you asshole. Go whine somewhere isolated.

The acquittal was fucking garbage. There were so many things screwed up about that trial.

  • Not allowing the victims to be called “victims”:
  • Allowing the Defense to call the victims “looters”
  • Allowing 2 surprise and entirely unprobative expert witnesses for the defense without prior disclosure
  • Allowing Rittenhouse to violate the terms of bail with impunity
  • Letting Rittenhouse pick out the jurors to be excluded like he was a guest at a Bingo game

The right wing arguments here is that its OK to murder unarmed people with a firearm if they say mean things to you, are trying to subdue an active shooter, and you don’t like the background of the victims after the fact.

I hear you can be an unpaid intern for a Representative when being a pariah and with out any discernible skills.

We can help make that little thug an unperson…stop clicking on his image and name. Ignominy should be his reward and his entire future.

You could not be more wrong.

Feel free to prove otherwise, though.

The mental gymnastics involved to believe that you are the victim, when in fact you’re a killer.

Help me here – he’s complaining that his only claim to be anything other than “punk who spent high school learning to use an AR-15 instead of the HS curriculum (or, apparently, social skills)” was being a celebrity for the total strangers he killed for having dark skin. And he thinks this might limit his career options?

I confess, introducing him to any place I’ve worked over the past 40-some years might make for some difficulties keeping the experienced, highly skilled, and productive [1] co-workers there. Snowflakes.

[1] And dark-skinned, but that’s how the workforce goes since the '80s.
