Xcancel link to sheriff's response Psychic damage from frothingfash frothing facsholes defending Riddenfuck's latest grift.

Article which is mostly a transcript

Kyle Rittenhouse returned to social media this week, and he is already drawing the ire of at least one sheriff in Florida.

Rittenhouse, who shot three people, killing two, during a racial injustice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020, claimed self-defense and was acquitted of all charges. He remains controversial, though, and his new gig appears to be attempting to call out incidents that he believes are Second Amendment issues.

That led him to share a video on Friday standing in front of the Walton County Jail while claiming that Michael Rediker “used Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law to lawfully defend himself when his life was put in jeopardy.”

“Michael did nothing wrong, and he deserves all our support,” Rittenhouse said in the video which he pinned to his X page.

“We are expecting an outright not guilty under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law,” he added.

Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson did not take kindly to Rittenhouse’s claims. He reshared the video via the Walton County Sheriff Office’s official X account, and issued a video of his own scathing response.

“I don’t normally do this,” Adkinson said. “I don’t normally take the time to speak to public comments on cases, certainly not open cases. But in this particular situation, a murder that occurred yesterday in Walton County, I feel compelled to respond to what I can only call wildly irresponsible. I would say motivated by many factors, none of them in the interest of justice in which individuals, particularly Kyle Rittenhouse and his attorney, Anthony Sabatini, are attempting to frame the murder here in Walton County on Thursday of Mr. Keen as a Stand Your Ground case or wrapping it in the Constitution or that it is Second Amendment case.”

Adkinson was far from done.

“After 30-something years of doing this, I very rarely get personally offended, but I’m actually just kind of disgusted with them,” the sheriff continued. “There was a man who lost his life yesterday. A father, a husband with two small children, who was murdered, unarmed on his own property, unprovoked by an individual who drove a tractor over a half a mile onto the victim’s property. Once there, batters his wife in front of eyewitnesses. When the husband, whom there had been no confrontation with, gets out to come over and help pick his wife up off the ground the suspect shoots him in the face. He was unarmed. There was no fight between them. There was no attack, and as he is laying dying on the ground, this suspect, Michael Rediker, stood over him and made some comments for which he is going to answer to in court. At the same time, he committed aggravated assault on multiple other people because he murdered this man in front of witnesses that watched this as this man was murdered. Again, unarmed, on his own property, after his wife had been battered, and no confrontation.

“Now, somehow out of that, Mr. Rittenhouse and his attorney, Anthony Sabatini, have determined that this is the great Stand Your Ground case,” Adkinson continued. “Well, I’ll tell you this. I’ll bet my badge on this. Not only is that not a stand your ground, Mr. Rediker will face either the ultimate penalty in the state of Florida or God willing the rest of his natural life in prison. Because, come Christmas morning in two weeks, there are two little boys elementary school age, two children, that are not going to have their father, and there’s a wife whose not going to have her husband all so these two idiots can get more likes on their Facebook and call it a Constitutional issue.”

“I think both of you are jokes, and I don’t think you should make a damn cent off the suffering of someone else,” he said. “So, if you don’t like that, well you can file that under I don’t really give a damn. I know people aren’t’ going to like this, and I don’t care about that either. I’m so disgusted and sad for the Keen family and their loss and the fact that these two yo-yos are going to try to make money and news on it. And I probably shouldn’t give them this, but I think the public deserves to know this doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the Second Amendment or Stand Your Ground. So, I hope that many of you will reach out and tell these two jack-wagons what you think about what they are doing to this family suffering."

This is a real shame. It does bring to mind yesterday's discussion about electeds and political influencers being very online in right wing echo chambers and thinking that discourse reflects broader sentiments. And when these attitudes are brought forth to a wider audience the reaction is one of disgust.

So you wind up with this killer child who was too foolish and offputting to even make it as a typical RW grifter coming out and fundraising for a murder so egregiously that even a Florida sheriff - I'm assuming himself no paragon of wokeness - feels compelled to speak on the case and say WTF man.

Another one that grifts purely on controversy. He will end up kirk'd eventually because of it, even as the little weasel with little influence that he is. It's the type of content and personality that attracts the acts.

just keeps getting more evil every day he breathes.

I shouldn't know the names of so many sheriffs in florida. I am so terminally online.

This isn't the first one I've heard call someone a "yo-yo" either. If it's as benign of a term as it sounds then lol I really like it.

April 2025: Walton County Sheriff invited to the White House

Fascist doesn't like the world they've helped create. Film at 11.

[–] Umechan@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Can someone explain to me why he's doing this? Were the victims black, hispanic, or some other demographic that conservatives think white people should get to legally hunt, is it simply because the suspect is a white man, or is he only doing this to create controversy and get some ad revenue/stay relevant?

The news articles I found published prior to Rittenhouse's video had very little information, and the victim wasn't even named. Why is Rittenhouse so sure Michael Rediker had to defend himself against "3 violent attackers" (which I'm going to assume were the victim, his wife, and one of their children)?

Because they lie all the time. They don't give any kind of fucks about truth. Things simply come to their minds and they tell them with full confidence because at no point they even consider the mere concept of truth. And this is not exceptional, this is what it takes to support the wretched inhumane mess that is the United States

[–] Umechan@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, but I don't see why he chose him. There was so little information made public about the case that it was bound to backfire of it didn't turn out the way he hoped. But I guess the grift is hard when you no longer have the backing of the entire conservative media circuit.

dumb nazi white guy and his dumb nazi white guy lawyer only using a rubric with qualities like "is the shooter white" "is the shooter male" and "can I figure out how to start the GoFundme" to determine which assholes to promote
