Kyle Rittenhouse learning that his family is struggling.

LOL

That's actually him learning that one of the people he shot at survived. Just a reminder, this shithead crossed state lines to dump gas on the fire of a protest and riot caused by disgusting, racially motivated circumstances.

He wanted to kill some people that night, so he brought a big gun. His success resulted in a lot of free money from the folks that want everyone else struggling to survive without violating a ten commandment to go hungry.

Huh. Have any of them considered a job? If the mom was capable of driving her child to another state to murder some people, I bet she could drive for uber or something. Or be a getaway driver for other criminals, idk.

[–] ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a certain type of person who thinks work is beneath them. That's who the Rittenhouse family is.

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (12 children)

...what? What are you basing this on?

When the children were small, Wendy and Mike worked various jobs, including machine operator, housekeeper, and cashier.

...

Wendy had become a certified nursing assistant, but she continued to struggle financially. The family was repeatedly evicted.

...

In 2018, shortly after another eviction, Wendy filed for bankruptcy. She developed a gastrointestinal bleed that required hospitalization, and Faith was also hospitalized, after an attempted overdose involving over-the-counter painkillers

Gotta love a conservative family that votes to undermine all the social services they’d need in situations like this. But they seem to be able to afford guns…

See also: schadenfreude

"enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others"

I think it's an apt term for watching leopards eating the faces of their allies.

Edit: for those unfamiliar with the reference, here's a rundown of The Leopards Eating Faces Party.

  • Leopards Eating People's Faces Party

"Leopards Eating People's Faces Party refers to a parody of regretful voters who vote for cruel and unjust policies (and politicians) and are then surprised when their own lives become worse as a result. It has been commonly used to parody regretful Brexit and Trump voters."

According to the article his sister has been hospitalized and both her and their mother have a hard time getting work because of being associated with Kyle Rittenhouse. BTW the mother did not drive him that's a fallacy

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Ok then I retract the part about driving. But I have a hard time feeling sympathy for her being unable to get a job. She's repeatedly defended him and said she stands by him, and she allowed her 17 year old to buy a gun he couldn't legally have and to drive without a license. Being associated with him is her doing. I have a family member who was a teenage white supremacist piece of shit (who was thankfully stopped by the FBI before he killed anyone), and you can bet nobody thinks I'm associated with him because I make it very clear where I stand. If I said he was a good person and I'll always support him, I wouldn't be shocked if employers said nah.

Is it possible that maybe he's a piece of shit?

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I mean, maybe? But other than wild speculation, is there any evidence?

Fucking /s because those of you that don't get it are dumb enough to think The Boys got all anti-you all of a sudden too.

[–] Glowstick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Dude, you absolutely need the /s on this one. There are people who authentically say this. And they read your comment thinking you and the upvoters all support that same belief too

But who actually cares? Stop talking about this useless waste of life.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (7 children)

I care because I noticed that all the people defending him won't talk about what happened afterwards meanwhile they never stop reminding us that the men he murdered had criminal records.

It is inconsistent. If they can bring up the past I can bring up the future.

Tabloid News. Who gives a damn about this guys family?

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (17 children)

Another "family values" type doesn't seem to give a shit about his own family. Bet he has strong opinions on abortion though.
