Breaking Down DHS Talking Points That Were Sympathetic To Kyle Rittenhouse | Way Too Early | MSNBC
The internet had it mostly figured out within a day.
@Dave Nolan … The NY Times came to the same conclusion, after reviewing all the footage. I’m sure many of the federal investigative services also came to the same conclusion, self defense.
Biden and the media are going to be wide open to these libel cases.
Edit: I originally, incorrectly stated slander.
@Dave Nolan the Wall St Journal has political bias
@WarLead2792 you can just watch the videos and come to the right conclusion if you’re not a moron. Me warlead I can’t think freely without MSNBC telling me how I should feel
@Linden NZ It doesn’t matter what political affiliation the Wall Street Journal is? Everyone knows the kid is innocent. Go over to Donut Operator channel on YouTube. He has the complete video footage of the incident from beginning to end.
this is sickening
How so?
If they kept their hands to themselves, they wouldn’t be dead. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Non consensual touching with the intent to do harm is illegal.
Cool Capybara the people be shot didn’t touch him. He was a scared teenager with a gun – that’s not an excuse for murder, otherwise he wouldn’t already be charged with it.
@c cheshire Uh, you clearly didn’t watch any of the videos, see any of the photographs, or research any of the anything.
Sorry, but you’re absolutely wrong.
The first guy shot wasn’t even human.
Listen to SkyNews from Australia.
@brian gardner agreed
No
@robert smith Yes right away. I can tell you have a deep cloud liberal white gayness over you.
No thanks. UK ran Sky out of the Country
@Bono Budju Right that means they are on the right path.
“protesters”….?🤔
@Cool Beans how do you know? brainwash, poor you!
@Colonel Seguin the Tejano Rebel maybe some pedoshave to done to get justice, period.
@espy 4 Chan researched the rioters Kyle shot and all had criminal records. He shot because they chased and attacked him. Just happens they’re all criminals.
@Cool Beans It’s almost like criminals do criminal things and seek out opportunities to do criminal things… SO weird, right?
@espy just watch the footage, he put out a dumpster fire, the rioting mob had started, they chased him, shot at him. He fired back. The mob chased some more. He fired in self defense again. They chased him some more. He fired again.
Oh noes…talking points based in fact? instead of “without evidence” smearing a 17-yr-old ?
@Jerry Rogersome Utter lies white supremacists protecting other white supremacists
@gdiamond if police would shot all the criminal rioters on the first night, nobody would die on night #3
@David Butler who is White supremacist in the story?
All 3 criminals shot by Kyle were as White as milk.
Nobody should be using him as a political prop. End of story.
But factual talking points doesn’t mean that there is not an agenda going on. Selecting certain facts and presenting them in a certain way is not the same as having all the facts on the table. Wake up to how propaganda works.
@David Butler
You literally have no proof. 🤣😂🤣
I’m glad to see most out see through this liberal BS
Over two thirds of the American people no longer trust mainstream media anymore. Around the same number don’t plan on voting for any democrats either. #walkaway
@Colonel Seguin the Tejano Rebel why don’t you speak english? lemmings
No you’re just brainwashed by the right wing conspiracy bs
Cal Thomas
👆
Nice sock puppet account.
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Your dumb
It couldn’t be any more obvious that he was being chased and attacked and defending himself, and not some white supremacist militia on a shooting spree of BLM.
I seem to remember obama, Eric holder, and Susan rice being pretty opinionated about ,Trayvon, Freddy Gray, and Ferguson.
I’m getting the feeling the left don’t want conservatives to legally defend themselves, but to disarm, and lock up and throw away the key.
Here come the BLM Gulags!

@Emdotreed Klan are democrats, proud boys aren’t white supremacists and I do enjoy them.
@Emdotreed guess we got to go gell kyle rittenhouse, a hispanic who shot 3 white guys, that hes a white supremacist now
@Emdotreed I always DEMAND the full unredaced videos and that is Your kryptonite, for gaslighting dies if it does not pass the stink test and we all know is passing it …looking at you Emdo-treed
That’d be Fox
@Emdotreed You don’t know who Proud Boys are. You never even heard of them until you saw a clip from the debate.
I hope Kyle sues msm and wins big!
@Unimagined Unimagined your name is kinda misleading, especially since your narrative is imaginary.
The assassin? a pathetic little proud boy, who without his guns he doesn’t feel man enough?
At least he’ll be able to chew into some of that recycled ad campaign money the MSM is hauling in hand over fist.
@Unimagined Unimagined Kyle Rittenhouse – Let’s talk facts in the Kenosha Wisconsin shooting from a Lawyer’s standpoint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSU9ZvnudFE&t=254s&bpctr=1601594792
@Corina del Carmel Tamez-Hibbard17 isn’t a man, but he definitely became one that day. And he was never a part of the proud boys, stop being spoon fed your information: he defended himself against a felon with a gun, a woman beater and a *PEDOPH!LE!!!*
Just wait till you see how people act when he is found not guilty 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
It is WI, they’ll wait till winter, no one wants to riot when it is 10F out at night. Their “revolution” (lol) can wait for warmer weather.
And Trump re-elected, and Amy Barrett confirmed to the Supreme Court. Olympic swimming pools full of lib tears 😭
@The Monrovian I can’t wait😪😪
It wont even go to trial….I bet the only reason they are holding him is his own safety and his team of lawyers are OK with that…poor kid is a marked man…when he does get released we all need to help with his protection…if thats a militia?.. so be it
@Norman Alvarez have you seen the polls after the debate? Joe biden is winning big time HAHAHAHA
The deceptive language never ends. Not “talking points” – FACTS.
@Michael Timely we arent liberals
Not facts, delusions
@V1NNYThat’s right, you’re evil idiots who don’t know the difference between God and the devil. You worship demons and live in a lie. The best thing Trump has done was to expose you for what you really are.
@Dave NunyaBusiness There is no point in arguing with a liar. A liar knows that if they stick to the story no one can prove a thing. All that happens when one debates a liar is one gets dragged down to their level. It’s a pointless exercise in futility, that’s why fewer and fewer are willing to engage you the way you wish they would. You’re not taken seriously anymore, your credibility is blown. Trump and the rest of them have exposed you for what you are.
Seriously, they just don’t stop. Facts and evidence vs blind hatred. https://youtu.be/3SuboM_puIk
“Anyonmus sources”
Kyle was a Hero
Period.
He stood against violent looters and criminals
He defended himself.
= We Have No Sources And Are Lying
I suppose Lin Wood can add MSNBC to the list.
@tecums3h I’m very interested in seeing how this one plays out, given various precedents… (including the one you mentioned)
Nice chatting!
@Python PogChamp He was knocked down on the ground and had little to no control of that rifle. A responsible, trained gun owner would never allow themselves to get in that situation. He was alone with no one to watch his back.
@tecums3h A responsible person would keep their hands to themselves, but there’s a certain class of sapien that is mentally incapable of understanding the concept of consent. They’re psychopaths that consist of roughly 2% of the global population.
If Joseph and all the people in the lynch mob kept their hands to themselves, they wouldn’t have been shot.
Besides, I honestly don’t see the big deal. After what Joseph did to those kids, he should have been executed 18 years ago.
tecums3h
I’m sure gun laws vary by state, and I’ve never been anywhere near Wisconsin, but in my state, and the four neighboring states, a license isn’t required to own a rifle unless it’s fully automatic. In that case you’d need a class 3 stamp which is essentially a license to own a fully automatic weapon or a sound suppressor that goes on any weapon. A license isn’t required to own a handgun or to carry it openly in the states I just mentioned either. You only need a concealed carry permit signed by the county sheriff if you carry a handgun concealed. I know of no states that require people to be licensed simply to own a handgun, a shotgun, or a rifle. I’m no lawyer, but I don’t think it’s illegal for a gun owner to let others use their guns either as long as the person is of legal age to use it and no crime is committed with it. It isn’t illegal for individuals to sell their guns to other individuals, at least it isn’t in my state. I don’t see the difference. Could open them up to a civil suit though, and I’m certain the dead rioters’ relatives will sue somebody over it either way.
@Python PogChamp The guys that were killed were idiots confronting and guy with a military rifle. I think you and I can agree on that at least. Rittenhouse walked into the situation most gun owners that know what they’re doing and understand the responsibility carrying a rifle means would never be forced to fire a shot. He thought the gun made him a badass.
Do you own any firearms?
They were talking favorably about him. AND THEY WERE RIGHT.
So wait, you’re saying they should withhold making any judgements or assertions about the details and motivations involved in these high profile cases, prior to a full investigation? Oh, the irony.
MSM is such a joke….. no one with a brain trusts them
As they should have. He was shot at first, had a glass bottle thrown at him, chased THEN he defended himself. If you’ve got a problem with that you’re either a communist and/or a racist.
The talking points are the facts you talking heads
I love that the left keeps having to fight literal boy scouts. 😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
More “facts” from “journalists” who do nothing but parrot their elitist billionaire bosses. Boo. Hiss. 👎🏻👎🏻
