Kyle Rittenhouse, out on bail, flashed white power signs at a bar, prosecutors say

You guys are getting really good at making up your own rules as things come up that you don't like. Why not charge him with sedition because he didn't brush his teeth this morning? I'm sure he was wearing the wrong color of shoes. He probably sang the national anthem which everyone knows is racist. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/10/18/star-spangled-banner-racist-national-anthem/)

 

So context is irrelevant to you? Is AOC standing with a group of bitch ass white supremacists signaling with them??? Jesus Christ. This is so obtuse there IS no angle.

It looks very much as if she is illustrating the sign to someone. Why does she use first one hand then the other?

I thought people stopped using that sign decades ago. I haven't seen it used to mean "OK" for about that long.

I never watched "Sea Hunt" as Lloyd Bridges is the only actor I have even less use for than Lee Majors (though I like Jeff) so I don't know how Scuba divers signal. Don't they tap their Rolex or something?

 

I'm so glad antifa *******s never cross state lines.

Sorry if anyone was drinking water while reading my post, I owe you a new keyboard.

 

You act like this kid who defended himself is such a criminal. Is it your intention to never allow folks to defend themselves from your mob?

 

Unfortunately it is a symbol of white supremacy. Supremacists took it over awhile ago.

 

Only in the propagandized minds of Leftists. We grew up with it as the O.K. and the "Made you Look" symbol and it still prevails with those meanings today.

Just in the last year we've posted pictures of Obama, Clinton, the other Clinton, Biden, and numerous other liberals making that sign. No one stopped using that sign because it was just recently declared to be racist as a joke to see how far people will run with it.

 

Oh BS.

And can you define white supremacy for us?

 

Make her future Speaker??

You need to get one of Putin using it.

I still don't recall people using it except for years ago, but I guess they were.

 

Actually I believe every one of those you posted has displayed at least some degree of racism so...

 

No, it wasn't. He didn't "pick a fight" with anybody. He was merely present on public. That's not provocation by any rational definition.

LOL! You're either wildly misinformed or terrible at geography, or perhaps both. Kyle lives in Antioch, Illinois. He traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin. That's 20 miles according to Google Maps.

You are also wrong on this point. The people he shot were all white (and all had criminal histories).

 

That's what it was for me to. But notice where the hands are. Are they above the head or below the waist? That's how you would play that game. Look at their hands. They're in the chest, center of their bodies. That's not how you would play that game, and why make that symbol? In the context in when it was made, and who it was made with unfortunately it looks like Rittenhouse made a racist gesture. Unfortunately for us it got taken over by white supremacists.

Okay Hand Gesture
A common hand gesture that a 4chan trolling campaign claimed in 2017 had been appropriated as a symbol meaning "white power." Used by many on the right--not just extremists--for the purpose of trolling liberals, the symbol eventually came to be used by actual white supremacists as well. Caution must be used in evaluating instances of this symbol's use.

Nope. It's unfortunately true. As for white supremacy? The view that 'white' ethnic identity is better than all other identities and that all power should belong to the 'white' ethnic identity.

 

SO anyone you DON'T like who uses it, is a KKK member...good to know. All the other 100s of millions that have used it through the decades are just fine. /boggle

 

If you actually read what I said instead of making a strawman doll to play with you would have seen I contextualized it. We know Rittenhouse has been radicalized and is with members of the Proud Boys, a white supremacist organization. We know the 'ok' hand symbol can be used as a message for white supremacists. It doesn't take much to figure out what's going on.

 

No. The west will fall. The East will rise.

 

So a white supremacist organization accepts black people, because that's really weird.

 

I was misinformed, I had thought he came from New York State

20 miles or 200 so what. Did he even know this car dealer he was "protecting" (and who was burned out rather thoroughly afterwards)

He wasn't able to get the people he was there to get so what.

He was walking up on an agitated mob while heavily armed. What do you call provocation?

 

Whatever you say counselor

 

As I've said 1M times before, Rittenhouse went looking for trouble. It's his bed, now he has to lie in it. I have no use for suffering fools !!!

 

Yeah not really. Fascism often requires some sort of identity to rally behind. In this case it's ethnic identity.

 

His actions appear to be that of a disturbed teenager who needs and craves attention and acceptance. Earlier after his arrest it was reported that he was bullied because he was perceived to be "stupid". He appears to want to be the mascot of extremist right wing white supremacist clowns. He sure as Schiest got their attention.

 

Why not? He spent weeks in jail (unjustly, IMHO). He deserves to live life a little.

 

Just like your other claims in this thread, this is false. There is no evidence to support your claim that he was there to "get" black people.
