Kyle Rittenhouse Is a Sniveling Crybaby Without His Gun

Joanne Carducci

Kyle Rittenhouse acted like a real tough guy when he was strolling the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin in August 2020 with a semi-automatic rifle in his hands. Back then, he was a 17-year-old who (in his telling) was just protecting businesses from protestors at the shooty end of the barrel of an AR-15.

But when confronted with an expletive on a social media platform, suddenly he’s a poor widdle boy who shrinks from a mean, mean lady that uses scary words that start with the letter F.

Believe me when I tell you that the last thing I want to be writing about right now is Kyle fucking Rittenhouse. I wish I didn’t know his name. I wish none of us knew his name.

I wish he was just some anonymous, gun-fetishizing 20-year-old high school dropout. Alas, that was not our collective good fortune. Instead, we got Kyle, the self-styled “good guy with a gun,” who was hailed a “hero” by the Right after he shot three men, two of them fatally, on that dark Wisconsin night.

And he is anything but content living a life of anonymity, which I (rather unexpectedly) experienced first-hand.

He doesn't realize that age 20 is "grown up"?

Falsely said the owners of a used car lot had asked him.
