  No decent person wants anything to do with that little shit.
context: What does a ‘Kyle Rittenhouse Event’ even entail? >
  
  Lead generation. >
  
  Read that as ‘lead’ and ‘lead’ and now I am not sure what I read. >
  
  Lead/lead, read/read, all this ambiguity is making me tense. >
  
  Apologies, it is by design but not meant to offend. >
  
  I can’t accept your apology, for I do indeed take offense to your unintelligible tense! >
  
  Take no offense at my offense.  Sit no longer on the fence for I present, as a present, my only defense. >
  
  Kyle is performing in Vegas? As what? Magic? Singing? Stripping? >
  
  He was a full thirteen minutes into goatse'ing the crowd before he finally shielded his eyes from the spotlights and realized there was no one in the theater. >
  
  “C’mon kid pull yer pants up, show’s over. I already sent everyone home. Here, I’ll buy you a drink. You like Shirley Temples?” >
  
  “Hey kid, one last thing before we head out… whaddya call this act?”
  “The AR-15tocrats.” >
  
  Been on reddit around a decade. This is the most creative use of alpha-numerics I've seen. >
  
  Damnit that's my password. >

  All I saw was ** >
  
  It’s Vegas. The only reason they’d cancel is because the money wasn’t there. No one gives a fuck about Rittenhouse. The Republicans have milked as much divisiveness as they can out of him and no one else has any use for him. >
  
  He's probably not very interesting, really >
  
  He's a dumbass. If you watch any interviews with him he mangles the talking points he's been fed and presumably rehearsed. >
  
  Maybe Hershel Walker should team up with him for 2024. /s* >
  
  Damn i already forgot about that moron >
  
  He only comes indirectly to my mind when someone mentions vampires or werewolves. >
  
  Spooky, scary. Boys becoming men, men becoming complete fucking idiots.. >
  
  I wish I could upvote you twice for the 30 rock ref! >
  
  I was just talking about the Rural Juror with my aunt who pronounces horror movies as whore movies. >
  
  To her credit, some of them do have gratuitous sex scenes that don't add to the plot >
  
  The cult had the weirdest heroes. >
  
  ...what the fuck. >
  
  I swear their minds are unsound. They are completely wrong in the head >
  
  Google sent me a Fox News article about a National Guardsman who non-fatally shot an illegal immigrant during a fight at the border. The entire comment section was about how he should have emptied the magazine into the illegal, or stuff like "too bad the illegal lived," etc. There was even a guy who said they should set up robotic machine guns that fire anything with a heat signature that crosses the border and he had 47 upvotes and 0 downvotes.
  They are insane and inhumane. >
  
  Unsurprisingly, cruelty is the point. >
  
  It really is >
  
  Vegas: “This broke ass joker can’t bring in the sales…. Cancel the event” >
  
  For one wonderful moment, I thought Rittenhouse was going to do the right thing and refuse the fast-tracking through politics and disappear from the public eye instead. Now he's going through the motions of crying about being a victim and making games about shooting liberals and being the key speaker at conservative events. >
  
  They told him he can make 174k a year doing nothing. >
  
  I can't entirely blame him given how it was either making hundreds of thousands by making media appearances or being unable to get into college or get a respectable job because people won't leave you alone. 
  Still, I do, genuinely, wish he could have taken the nobler path there. He had(and potentially has, but fat chance) the ability to do that. >
  
  He was partying with proud boys at one point, there was no nobler path he was going to choose. >
  
  That was his first lawyer being a moron he fired him after that. >
  
  Wasnt he crying about his actions? Now he's monetizing them? Very transparent. >
  
  He cried about his ‘trauma’ in court and then immediately went on podcasts where he mocked the people he shot and bragged that it got him attention from women. He’s gone on to monetize the shit out of it. Speaking events, guest speaker, product endorsements, even a him-themed video game! >
  
  Jesus. From the same people that claim universities are indoctrination centres and video games cause violence, here’s a half-baked video game with cartoonish graphics (the type that would appeal to kids) where you literally shoot (turkey representations of) the press. >
  
  They’re really just mad that universities undo all their childhood indoctrination. >
  
  I don’t get what this guy could possibly have to say that’s of enough interest to anyone to get them to go to a speaking engagement featuring him. What could he say that’s, for example, revelatory or inspirational?
  Edit - Okay, what’s the attraction? >
  
  Reading a Steven Miller script that was handed to him. >
  
  I guess no one can accuse his fans of being difficult to please. >
  
  Making a crowd disappear. >
  
  I feel like there is a common theme with controversial conservatives scheduling events in predominantly liberal areas and when it gets canceled due to lack of interest or protesting they whine about “woke mobs.” They set this up for an excuse to whine on tv. They must know by now these events are not happening at these locations. >
  
  Man. I go to Vegas frequently and every time it seems to be leaning further to the right. Every Uber driver on our last trip was an absolute nut. 
  Seemed like every local we interacted with was a COVID denier trumper. 
  Also, venetian palazzo owner was a big right wing trump supporter. (he recently died) >
  
  Why didn't they just do it at the Trump hotel instead? >
  
  You can be on whatever side of the protests you want.
  But Rittenhouse isn't some savvy strategist. He's not a highly educated political commentator. He's not a celebrity. He's not a renowned orator. He's just some kid who shot somebody. >
  
  Glorifying this kid is next level disgrace. >
  
  Be honest, what could the guy possibly talk about? It's not like he has something profound to share. I'm genuinely curious what people would pay for to listen to a barely-young-adult speak about. >
  
  "what was it like to kill a man? Is it true you have the best sex of your life afterwards?" >
  
  Good. Even if what he did was justified (which I don't believe), legally or otherwise, it's nothing to celebrate. It's just gross, so fucking gross. >
  
  
  it's nothing to celebrate
  
  Yep, that's the point that's getting lost.
  It was almost certainly legal - but celebrating it is fucked up. >
  
  What people seem to forget is that if what this little fucker did was legal...someone could've blown his brain outs that night as he was aiming at them and it would also be legal.
  We've basically legalized shootouts in the US. >
  
  That's not how it works. He was running and they were chasing him, if they had caught him and beat him to death or shot him it would not be legal. Rittenhouse shooting as a last resort after trying to retreat was legal.
  And no, I am not a fan of Rittenhouse or what I perceive his politics to be. It's just that all of the people he shot were chasing him with clear intent to severely injure or kill him, not the other way around. >
  
  This debate was gross and I don't want to have it again. But it's fucked up the jury was intentionally not allowed to focus on the fact that he decided to go to a protest with a gun to "protect property" and then get the same treatment as someone that was followed into a dark alley on the way home.
  It feels like he wanted a confrontation and every one of his defenders has a laser focus on the 2 minutes before he shot someone because they know it's inconvenient if you think about everything before that.
  Edit: can you guess what comment got me a reddit care report? It's predictable. These people need help. >
  
  Well, if we want to go back more than 2 minutes then we also need to include the death threats that the first attacker had made to Rittenhouse earlier in the night, and his provocations trying to start fights with many others. >
  
  And earlier than that is the video Kyle made about WANTING TO SHOOT PROTESTERS a week before he went and shot protesters. >
  
  Why is Kyle even at an event? >
  
  It tells you a lot about trump supporters that they worship a guy who's only known for killing people and getting away with it. >
  
  They love the idea of the Punisher without the nuance and character history. They just like the idea of blowing perceived enemies away. >
  
  Like cops wearing the Punisher's mark. >
  
  Dude his 15 minutes are over GOP. Give it up >
  
  Dude's famous for killing people in the street and crying like a fucking baby in court. We got some real juggernauts on the right, people. >
  
  Here's the kid that did what you all want to do, and got away with it! Come see him, he's real. It can be real for you too. >
  
  It's been moved to the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel >
  
  Darkest of humor. >
  
  Imagine getting famous the way this kid did >
  
  Who the hell goes to see a chubby cry bab6 who can’t manage to graduate from high school? Vegas is a long way from Alabama. >
  
  Who shoots people without remorse…. >
  
  and avoided arrest by pooping his pants. >
  
  Last video I saw of him was hitting that girl. >
  
  Last video I saw of him was the day before the shooting, sitting in a car and saying he wished he could shoot the people looting a store.  You know, the one the judge wouldn't allow in the trial. >
  
  this kid is famous for killing a person. what a fucking bleak existence >
  
  Are you talking about his existence or mine because I'm fucking stuck on this planet. >
  
  Ok I get it that some people agree with the self defence argument and it's subsequent not guilty verdict ( I don't agree with it, but I understand it) but most people probably agree that going on a tour like this is in very very bad taste regardless of what you think of the car , right? >
  
  Maybe Kyle’s 15 minutes of fame are up.
