‘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”.
I missed that you were replying to a comment I made to OP, but you are not OP. So I have no idea.
Edit: Oh wait, nevermind. You did share your opinion and it is in line with OP’s.
There is nuance to be had because not everybody is the same.
I understand that there are tons of problems in the US, but hating on an entire culture/people is bigotry no matter who it is aimed towards.
Sigh. That is not my opinion about any country, that’s my opinion about our species.
“There is no nuance to be had here” means that people don’t notice the nuance because they have their own personal agendas. That’s not an American problem, that’s a global problem.
And good job proving that by deciding you know what my opinion on a subject I never opined on is and deciding that something unrelated was my opinion because of your agenda.
So thanks.
You might need to be a little clearer about that in the future to make it seem less bigoted.
No one but you had any trouble with what I said.
That doesn’t really mean anything.
You want me to be clearer but no one else has that need here. So I’d say that means everything.
Unless, of course, you think the world needs to cater to you. Does it? Are you that important?
Wow, aren’t you being a jerk.
Personal attacks are not useful.
That’s quite the personal attack.
Literally one sentence after making a personal attack in the exact same post. Amazing. I guess the answer to my question is yes.
Pointing out that someone is being rude is not a personal attack.
