This is just one story, and it ended with a reasonably fair verdict. But for most of us freedom is in the hands of oligarchs, not juries, and there’s no appeal when justice lies behind a paywall.
Freedom is hard work, and it’s most costly when you think you don’t have to pay for it.
Sure, it ended well for Kyle. But that doesn't erase the harm done to him and his family in the year leading up to the trial. And where is the accountability for the "reporters" and talking heads that whipped up this frenzy? If Orf got the footage, any news organization would be able to as well.
Thank whatever higher power that KR was able to get good representation. Most people don't. That's why jails are full of people who pleaded "guilty by reason of an empty bank account."
This is pretty outrageous coverage. Unfortunately, on many issues, it has become the norm. No wonder the American people are rapidly losing trust in the media. All these organizations should admit that they presented an inaccurate narrative and reverse the censorship.
One of the appeals of the extraordinary lying that constitutes left-wing discourse is the understanding that even if your subjects are exposed to the truth later, they'll never believe it.
Millions and millions of people will never change their minds about Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, RussiaGate, or a host of other things.
Thank you for this. I sincerely pray Kyle will sue every last one of the entities you spoke of so people can make informed choices about who they buy from, listen to, support. I knew of a lot of this but not all, for instance Discover. I will be paying my balance of this week and will NEVER use that card again. I don't do FB or any of that other crap so I was unaware of some of it.
Kyle stepped up to help his neighbors and he paid a terrible price. Americans defended a convicted child molester he shot that was trying to kill him. These virtuous freedom loving protestors burning down the lives of law abiding citizens, doing the work of their overlords without even knowing or understanding the prison they are building even for themselves.
KR you're a hero and I hope if I am ever tried as you were I will find myself half as strong.
Matt I donated because I appreciate your dedication to truth.
I remember watching the unedited footage the morning after and concluding it was self defense, and haven't seen anything since to change that position. If anything the kid showed remarkable restraint.
Thank you Matt. This infuriates me. We are beset with a minority of monied and controlling establishment power that is filled with the absolute worst type of people... they are evil cretins. These are the same people that made and enforced the pandemic era orders that crushed the lives of so many people. They own the corporate media and tech, and thus they own the machine of public influence for non-informed and non-critical-thinking people... which is most of the people unfortunately. That is the problem here... you write to the informed and critical thinking. I think it is helpful, but until we figure out how to hold the evil establishment cretins accountable for their lies and propaganda, we will always be fighting this battle to maintain our true freedoms and to seek real justice for the real criminals and real heroes.
But in the meantime, please keep up the great work confirming what we know about this human filth that keeps spewing lies in the media.
Yikes. Such a worthless human, gun-loving Kyle, and here we are, the Loaf, err, Orf Report. No wonder the Lobotomized Maga Maggots and many others have their stiff arms raised high for Converted Jew Trump and his IDF-Loving Wimps like Miller and others.
Kyle in the Semen Drip Rapist and Pedophile in Chief's administration yet? Strap on those pistols, punk . . . Your daddy is supporting you!
Trump signed an executive order instructing the Pentagon to prepare for nationwide military operations by National Guard troops modeled on the military-police occupation of Washington D.C., now two weeks old. The flagrantly unconstitutional and illegal order is a further step in the establishment of authoritarian rule in the United States.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to extend the current military occupation of Washington D.C.—where over 2,000 National Guard troops are deployed, carrying weapons of war—to other major US cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles.
Trump is relying on the complicity of both the Democratic Party and the corporate media to conceal from the American people the reality of what is happening: a systematic conspiracy to establish a presidential dictatorship, unfolding in real time.
In addition to his med kit, he also brought his AR 15. And before he was chased and attacked by the protesters, he was seen pointing that AR 15 at the protesters. It was reasonable for the protesters to feel that they had been assaulted with an automatic weapon by a vigilante and act to protect themselves. As a concealed carry license holder, I was rather surprised that Rittenhouse walked free.L the charges against him. Generally law enforcement doesn’t like people waving automatic weapons at crowds, even if their heart is in the right place. The fact that he walked is a reflection of both the Zeitgeist and the political culture of Wisconsin..
I’m looking forward to the movie.

I think Kyle should sue for 1% ownership of all these platforms. Arguing that only ownership and not fines can change behavior.
Thank you for your hard work putting this together.

This is such a needed documentary project. Thank you, Matt.
This is an extremely valuable public service: nailing down Reality before it gets flushed down the Memory Hole.
Like your other stuff ("Trump, Russia, possible collusion" or "safeandeffective", etc.), I amplify & share whenever/wherever.
Thank you.

Was he able to sue any media sites for slander? Talk about a Rush to Judgement. The Summer of Floyd, which preempted another Summer of Covid.

This kid will be a pariah in the eyes of the left until the day he passes.
Thank you for your work on this case, Matt. We should never forget how they demonized this young man to fit their dishonest narrative.
Running around waving a gun at large numbers of people is no way to stay out of trouble.
Rioting and burning down businesses is an even better way to get into trouble.

Ahh, those little Hitlers love WIsconsin.

Wow, I’m amazed how you included all the talking points and propaganda spewed by the left and corporate media within your response. lol
You should disengage and touch some grass.
Your mental health demands it.
