Kyle Rittenhouse's sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her "brother's unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family."

While shitty, what does him helping them financially have to do with anything? He shouldn't be responsible for them. There are many people in the US in worse situations, and they don't get special treatment because, I guess, they aren't family with a famous murderer.

well yeah, but like, if you get free money from people for shooting some guy at a protest, the least you could do is share some of that money with your family.

What makes you think this bastard comprehends the concept of empathy?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

Aaaaand now we're back at the piece of shit acting like a piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Bro djd you not see how torn up he was at the trial? He's , like, the most empathetic person on earth.

Share it wider: "it takes a village to raise a vigilante" or at least to look the other way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

It takes a vigilante to raze a village? That other way?

I’m imagining the family from Million Dollar Baby walking in from Disney World going “What do you mean you ain’t got any more of that shootin’ people money??”

Most of us struggle month to month, most of us dont attempt to leech blood money to unburden our struggle. Most of us don't run to the media to cry about how our murderthing fascist familial connection isn't letting us leech their blood money.

If I was Kyle Rittenhouse, I wouldn't give a single dime to the people who created Kyle Rittenhouse. They created an unlovable twerp, they shouldn't profit from that.

In this case (according to the donation page), he is part of the reason they are in this mess, as his mom is unable to find employment since everyone thinks she drove him to the protest where he shot those people.

Although that sucks, I can’t blame people for naturally putting some fault on her even for the wrong reasons.

I don’t think she should struggle but she did raise him. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime but imo parents should take responsibility of raising shitty kids.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Most people who aren't conservative psychopaths actually like their families and want to help them when they can.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

they're trying to get libs who hate kyle to help

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Agreed.

We know that we are not the only family struggling to rebuild after that fateful night

And look at the struggles his sister is going through. Profound tone-deafness is a real wipepo problem, a syndrome second only to affluenza in terms of collateral damage and suffering.

She needs help! Hit up your friends; especially the strong ones who like pizza and beer. Dig deep for those truck keys and clear the calendars for next weekend so you can help ... move.

Yeah, and we shouldn't pity them because they have an asshole son. Sure, it'd be the right thing for him to do if he were a good person, but him not taking financial responsibility for them doesn't mean anyone else should be either. I'd much rather them help someone else.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's his mom. What is wrong with you people? Me and my mom have a shit relationship but if I crippled her ability to work or she was going to be out on the street I would send her cash. Me and my wife send her parents money each month. It is a very small price to pay for giving me my partner.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

They're asking for money from other people. Yes, he should give them money. He is profiting off of murder. He's an asshole. Why should anyone else give them money though? I don't pity them. The mom raised an asshole murderer. Maybe it's not her fault, but she has to have some responsibility in it.

Tbf, maybe we shouldn't vilify them because of the actions of their son/brother so bad that they can't be employed. I don't hire people but the only reason not to would be the negative publicity from hiring them from people like those in this thread, I doubt if you gave his mom a job she'll show up and shoot someone every morning.
