‘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”.
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?
