This boy does not owe anybody a damn thing! Political stance? Tuh! He only owes a thank you to those who CHOSE to support him financially and his higher source for blessing him with his freedom! But he ain’t gotta think or believe in what everyone wants him to just cuz they supported him.

[@fauxque5057]

My little donation to him evidently granted them permission to continually beg me for more money. I have no idea who is behind it but it's being done in his mother's name. I got another text right after he was acquitted begging for money to pay his legal expenses. F that. He's on a media tour raking in the cash, then they're suing everyone who slandered him, and there's 2 million already in dispute, nope, leave me alone.

[@EzzyTrueCrime]

@@fauxque5057 His mother is behind it and the previous associate to Linn now actually supposedly having relations with Hancock who’s claiming it was his idea 💡 Hello Hancock isn’t just doing Kyles mom to do her as the purpose behind her is him collecting by being behind her and telling Kyle exactly what to say and what not to. If you listen Kyle sounds like a broken record and if asked in an interview something he doesn’t know to answer he immediately looks away or repeats Self Defense. If you go research online about Linn and apparently Pierce and Wood are the co-founders of #fightback. Actually Hancock says he brought it up to Linn and why would Kyle mother wait 2 months to fire Pierce? Everything was done to where Kyle wouldn’t indict himself and was coached to say Self defense by Hancock who’s only interest in Kyle and Kyle Mother is motive behind Kyle claiming self defense and Hancock thinking Rittenhose mother is to receive 2 mill plus more with further suing by staying by their side and collect if he can as Hancock claiming to be the one behind idea yet he obviously doesn’t have the pull and attorney obviously does to even raise that money and Kyle knew it was because of him being a militia and then lies again since they monopolized trying to claim not knowing so he could be let out and turn around and sue previous attorney!!!! Taraaaa there you have it as I’ve been truly following and yes there not to be trusted it’s all about money besides getting Kyle found not guilty which not all facts were presented and Kenosha knew jurors. So much bs. You can watch Kyle mom on true crime tv. All fake instead of being grateful Kyle got away with lies to being found not guilty as money talks in politics and how the case is presented and these are sharks who helped Kyle in being free. Not to mention that apparently Kyle also has a speeding ticket 🎟 2 days prior so why wasn’t that brought up in court since Kyle brings up the that guy he injured DUI being thrown out. Kyle is conniving takes after his mother and Hancock they are all full of it it’s disgusting. Its possible Kyle social media will get subpoena especially if he’s going after Biden

If you can’t piece everything together and what’s behind Kyle being found not guilty all took planning in about 2 months by Pierce by Kyle being a militia and claiming self defense. Then they fire Pierce after he filed everything and set up what now Kyle mother is saying it was a sluch fund and now having relations with Hancock after no longer being employed and now trying to publicize after Pierce filed this now Claiming no to militia. So why did Kyle wait 2 months before firing Pierce. After he did the filing and realized that Pierce has sources which he gathered 2 mill and now there ungrateful and Hancock, Kyle Mother are fighting for 2 mill.

It was the left that called him a racist mass shooter and declared him guilty immediately, even using him as an example of MAGA white supremacy.

[@KevinSmith-gu7fb]

I always concerned when his initial attorney acted like he was going to try to use a Second Amendment defense when I knew Wisconsin law already allowed Kyle to carry that gun legally. Opting to go with some Second Amendment or militia argument would have put Kyle at unnecessary risk, so I'm glad he got new counsel, who eventually got the gun charge dropped, although that still took way longer than it should have.

[@pricklypear7516]

Why in the world do you think "our government done him wrong"??? He killed two men and wounded another under ambiguous circumstances. Charges were filed, as they should have been, and a trial was held, as it should have been. He was acquitted. So what "wrong" did the government do? I don't want ANY government to have the power to override the judicial system and make decisions in cases like this! Do YOU???

[@dreamcatcherawake8844]

@@pricklypear7516 I have to agree with Kendra V. here... however, the trial worked the way it's meant to. The way the government let Kyle down is by not allowing the police officers to do their job. The government let Kyle down by allowing the mob to burn business to the ground. The mayor, the police department and every grownup in that town let Kyle down. Kyle felt obligated to protect his community because the people who should've done it, didn't. Plain and simple.

[@pricklypear7516]

@@dreamcatcherawake8844 . . . You can't have it both ways. The state granted Kyle's RIGHT to be there, but you can't now hold those circumstances against the government and say that THEY are responsible for his choice. Try to figure out that not everything is black and white (or red and blue). I am not saying that I disagree with the verdict. I AM saying that the details of the shootings were ambiguous and that a trial was right and fitting. Nothing about the situation suggests that, as Kendra claims, "the government done him wrong." The government worked EXACTLY the way it was intended to work. This case was ONLY the case, and it's not emblematic of some greater "victory" for gun rights or civil liberties or anything else.
