Kyle Rittenhouse’s Reputation

Why suing his vile detractors for defamation would not be a good idea.

The American Spectator

Which office do I go to, to get my reputation back?

— Ray Donovan, former Reagan Administration labor secretary, following his acquittal on corruption charges.

Old litigator’s definition of “courthouse” — a place where people go to tell lies.

"Ever since Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges, there has been a rising chorus calling on him to sue his detractors for defamation. For example, before the prosecution’s meritless and unfounded case disintegrated at trial, Joe Biden condemned Rittenhouse as a white supremacist while media commentators falsely accused him of crossing state lines with an illegally possessed AR-15 rifle to wantonly gun down demonstrators who were engaged in what CNN so laughably called “a fiery but mostly peaceful” protest in the burned and pillaged Kenosha, Wisconsin.

"Even now, after the truth has been made abundantly clear at trial, various media commentators continue to spread the thoroughly debunked lie that Rittenhouse was a blood-thirsty vigilante who — weirdly enough — killed and wounded white people in pursuit of a white supremacist agenda.

"In short, Rittenhouse has been and continues to be the victim of a campaign of blatantly outrageous lies waged by those who seek to punish and destroy him in the name of social justice.

"So, how can he fight back? What can he do to expose the lies and defend his reputation?" . . .

No Mainstream 'Journalist' Is More Racist Than MSNBC's Joy Reid

 

Joy Reid is at it again. Well, she never really ceased her bigotry.  . . ."Why hate anybody at all? I don’t find it impressive when people hate. And hating a group that it’s socially acceptable to hate — whites, Christians, southerners — just shows you’re a coward. Moreover, is there a limit to anti-white pathology?

"At some point, might Comcast decide anti-white racism is not something to subsidize and pull the plug on Reid, as they did with the execrable Keith Olbermann a decade ago? Much of her odiousness, sadly, reminds me of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Constantly blaming all the world’s ills on one group of people — effectively vilifying them — should not be tolerated by MSNBC.

"On Monday, before Reid’s Tuesday racism, Miranda Devine had a dynamite New York Post piece in which she reminded everyone, “This is a woman on a seven-figure salary who went to Harvard and has more elite privilege in her little finger than the 17-year-old son of a single mother who was in Kenosha working as a lifeguard when all hell broke loose in the form of BLM-Antifa riots in August 2020. Yet Reid continually plays the victim and makes her living punching down at white people less fortunate than she is.”

"Devine continued by noting Reid’s ratings are abysmal.

“ 'Every night she spews hatred against white people,” she wrote. “Who knows what pathology drives her, but it’s not healthy, for her or any of her dwindling audience. Shame on MSNBC for elevating such a hate-filled racist to prime time. She has zero charisma….But for some unfathomable reason, she has Teflon protection at the network, even after being caught with homophobic and anti-Semitic comments on her blog." . . .

"Why not just contact my booking producers like a normal person, rather than going with the White Man Demands option?"

Racist Propagandist Joy Reid’s MSNBC Ratings Collapsing This was in June 2021; MSNBC still broadcasts her. Maybe the suits there are among the many who don't watch her show either. 

Remember those who wanted to defund the police, causing Rittenhouse to happen

It began here: 

Enough of that; now on to banning Kyle Rittenhouse.  

Acting in the spirit of any lynch mob, the rioters also decided not to wait for the facts. They set at least 37 fires, burned down more than two dozen businesses, many of them family small businesses with long community roots, and spray-painted pro-Palestinian graffiti at a local synagogue. Rioters armed with rifles surrounded a police SWAT vehicle. A 71-year-old man was hit in the head with a concrete-filled plastic bottle, which fractured his jaw in two places. The riots caused nearly $2 million in damage to a city of 100,000 people. The destruction was worst in Kenosha’s mostly black Uptown area.
A jury's integrity and the absence of riots is good news

"Above all, let's try to remember that jury members refused to cave into political or media pressure.  They simply did their job.  As a result, we have a criminal justice system that works even when the rest of society breaks down — and an innocent teenager has his life back instead of life in prison.  But would the hard left care one iota if an innocent man was deprived of freedom for the rest of his years?  Hardly.  Just a means to an end, to install full-fledged totalitarianism rule over the great unwashed masses."

Frightening Social Media POSTS From Oxford’s High School Shooter Allegedly Shows That He’s Part Of Some Satanists’ Cult

Nathan Swanson, a 10th grader who was in some middle-school classes with Crumbley, told The Daily Beast that he was “really quiet, he would never talk to people.” “He wore all black, I believe he was really into something,” Swanson said.

Another "quiet guy" 

USA Supreme  . . ."Another post appears to show Ethan had a “countdown to return of devil” and wrote “now I become death — destroyer of worlds — see you tomorrow Oxford” on his Instagram page.

"Crumbley’s social media pages have given possible evidence that the attack may have been planned long before it happened.

"In a post on his alleged Instagram account, Crumble had a “countdown to return of devil” and wrote, “now I become death — destroyer of worlds — see you tomorrow Oxford.”

"The countdown ended on the day of the shooting.

The account also features images of horror movie villains such as Michael Myers from Halloween and Jigsaw from Saw.

"The account handle is under Crumbley’s name but he may have also used the alias Black Death as it appears in his bio

"Here is the social media account of the alleged US school shooter, Ethan Crumbley (aged 15). He had a countdown of when he was going to murder children, and this account was allegedly reported to the school BEFORE the shooting!" . . .


Ethan Crumbley was in meeting with Oxford High School officials & his parents about his behavior hours before shooting


...Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald added that her office is weighing charging both of Crumbley's parents and will be making charging decisions "swiftly".

The prosecutor said that evidence suggests the school shooting "was not an impulsive act" and may have been premeditated. 

Crumbley has been held at a juvenile detention facility, where he was placed on suicide watch with someone checking on him every 15 minutes...

Crumbley was charged with four counts of first-degree murder, terrorism, and other weapons charges in the shooting

Fourth Student Dies After Shooting Rampage at Michigan High School

. . ."Crumbley, a sophomore, was previously flagged by administrators for “behavior in the classroom that they felt was concerning,” Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said Wednesday. He was called in to talk with school officials on Monday and Tuesday. Then, his parents were brought into the school the morning of the shooting for a face-to-face meeting about their son’s behavior, according to Bouchard."

The students made some quick and sound decisions . They kept their cool, helped each other and survived. Their parents and their community should be proud of them:

Red flag: "Come out, Bro!"

Third Worldizing America

Our elites, like the Third World rich, have mastered ignoring—and navigating around—the misery of others in their midst.


Victor Davis Hanson  

. . ."Violent crime is now soaring in America. But two things are different about America’s new criminality.

"One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the content without worry of arrest. 

"Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system. 

"So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the summer 2020 riotous destruction of property: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.” 

"Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not. 

"There were 120 days of continuous looting, arson, and lethal violence in summer 2020. The riots were variously characterized by the burning of courthouses, police precincts, and an iconic church." . . .
