‘I believed things he told me that I now understand to be … lies,’ Dave Hancock says in new Rittenhouse documentary
A former spokesperson for Kyle Rittenhouse says he became disillusioned with his ex-client after learning that he had sent text messages pledging to “fucking murder” shoplifters outside a Chicago pharmacy before later shooting two people to death during racial justice protests in Wisconsin in 2020.
Dave Hancock made that remark about Rittenhouse – for whom he also worked as a security guard – on a Law & Crime documentary that premiered on Friday. The show explored the unsuccessful criminal prosecution of Rittenhouse, who killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
As Hancock told it on The Trials of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 90-minute film’s main subject had “a history of things he was doing prior to [the double slaying], specifically patrolling the street for months with guns and borrowing people’s security uniforms, doing whatever he could to try to get into some kind of a fight”.
Wait, you mean the guy everyone was saying went to Kenosha to murder people, actually went to Kenosha to murder people?!?!?! Color me shocked.
Only idiots and the mentally deficient bought his official story.
My only weakness was not being cynical enough.
I always knew he was a piece of shit because of how white he is and how much support fox gave him. – cynical man
Oh imagine that everybody with a brain was right all along and some f****** lunatic murderer got off again great job America
Little pudding faced cunt.
Is puberty ever gonna hit that man?
Jesus, how was Rittenhouse murdering those guys only four years ago? It feels like it was at least ten.
We’re all aging like US presidents now
The last 8 years have gone by in what feels like months.
He deliberately sought out an altercation and he deliberately brought his gun.
They should have waited to prosecute. He would have lost today.
That seems like it would violate the sixth amendment. Besides, we knew all of this back then.
I know of some individuals who have been sitting in jail, waiting for a trial, for longer than the maximum sentence they could have been given. If you are poor and/or live in a shitty area, your ‘rights’ don’t always mean all that much.
No, you have a right to a speedy trial. You don’t have the right to be charged with a crime in a speedy way while evidence is gathered against you.
Sometimes we should wait for them to incriminate themselves.
Are “racial justice protests” synonymous with looting and destruction of property?
People who (at best) don’t care about the reason for the protest, or (at worst) actively turn a peaceful protest into something chaotic and violent, will take advantage of situations when they present themselves - just like Rittenhouse did.
How many times a day do you have to say “I’m not a Nazi.”?
Only when conservatives are synonymous with rape and destruction.
Imagine bootlicking so much for private property and capitalists that you think it is more sacred than people’s lives. Let alome that you think racism is fake or that the atrocities that people of color went through isn’t such a big deal.
Oh fuck off with the bootlicking bullshit. Such a tired argument and does not apply to my comment or me.
Boot licking scum
Objects dont matter.
Yes it does. Lives matter more than objects, that’s some crazy basic truth people understand past being a toddler.
Hmm. Just how old are you anyway?
Wait you mean when he grabbed a rifle and traveled an inordinate distance to the scene of a riot and shot two people to death, he wasn’t just an innocent bystander after all?
Let’s not forget how the judge in that case dismissed video evidence of him saying he wanted to shoot people. If that didn’t change this assholes mind-
I hope he dies a bloody death
As long as it’s slow and painful, bloodless would be OK too.
He would have, if he didn’t have his rifle on him.
Doubt. No way he would be out there without his rifle. The man’s a coward, he can’t even face the consequences of his actions.
I hope his kids treat him like he treats the world.
I wish an even more tragic fate. I hope he gets to live in a world filled with tolerance and empathy while he wallows away in hate and fear.
No, he’s a hazard to others and belongs in a cage.
Okay but can he at least wallow with broken legs?
I wish him a life of obscurity, poverty, and extreme loneliness. May he achieve nothing and be just smart enough to realize what a waste his entire existence has been.
Well shit, that happened to me without shooting anybody
I wish for you to find a fun thing, be it playing guitar, drawing silly comics, or making obscure art. You need not create for anyone but yourself.
he couldnt see his targets through his tears
Imagine being such a bootlicker that you want to kill people for property crime, even when that property isn’t yours. What a loser.
He just wanted to kill people. That they were black made it more attractive, and the property crime was a convenient excuse.
I’ll just cry like a little bitch in court again. It worked last time!
One of the ways that I enjoyed shitting on Kyle Rittenhouse, was to say that I would never want to be around anyone who now has a taste for human blood.
That was supposed to be hyperbolic.
Congratulations, US legal system! You have encouraged a murderous vigilante!
“Good guys with guns” as a slogan was always going to turn out this way.
That’s one of the many reasons Americans are such stupid people, they see the world in a “good guy / bad guy” dichotomy, where they are the good guys. And “good guys” and their actions are all based on beliefs and opinions. It’s justification for YOUR atrocities while acting disgusted at others.
You might be shocked to learn that not all Americans are the same. Bigot.
If I wasn’t describing you, you wouldn’t be so offended.
I would still find it inappropriate, actually.
