Santi Ruiz – Washington Free Beacon Nov 11, 2021
Social media platforms rendered a verdict on Kyle Rittenhouse long before he went to trial, suppressing claims that he was innocent and blocking users from searching for details of the case.
Immediately after the anti-police riots that thrust Rittenhouse into the national spotlight, social media companies began to block users who expressed support for the Illinois teen. Twitter suspended the accounts of users who called Rittenhouse innocent, including the defendant’s own lawyer. Facebook said it “designated this shooting as a mass murder and … removed the shooter’s accounts from Facebook and Instagram.” The platform also blocked searches for “Kyle Rittenhouse.”
Social media platforms often intervene to suppress posts expressing a particular stance on controversial issues. Both platforms censored news stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the month before the 2020 election. Facebook blocked a Gold Star mother’s criticism of President Joe Biden and suppressed a song that criticized the president. Twitter and Facebook also suspended users who oppose vaccine mandates.
The fundraising platform GoFundMe also removed a page set up to support Rittenhouse, which the company said violated its ban on fundraisers involving “the legal defense of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance.” GoFundMe supported fundraising for the family of one of Rittenhouse’s assailants, Anthony Huber. The site regularly hosts fundraisers for individuals associated with Black Lives Matter.
When smaller platforms began raising funds for Rittenhouse, hackers breached the donation lists. News outlets doxxed paramedics and police officers who gave small donations to Rittenhouse’s defense.
Twitter is still banning or suspending users for supporting Rittenhouse, even as the trial proceeds. Facebook searches for Rittenhouse’s name turn up no results. Neither platform responded to requests for comment.
Rittenhouse faces six charges, including two counts of homicide, after shooting three men who attacked him during last August’s anti-police riots in Kenosha, Wis. His murder trial began on Nov. 1. His defense hopes that videos that show rioters assaulting Rittenhouse will bolster his self-defense claim.
For hackers, read NSA.
Too bad he didn’t mow down more of the anti-white Communist negrophilic scum..
Who in their right mind would use putrid social media platforms like Facef*ck and Twatter anyway, especially knowing how nefarious they are? Demonic scum like Zuckerburg and Dorsey are vile shit-stains on the fabric of humanity. It will be a truly great day, a day to be celebrated for decades to come, when Zuckerburg has his tongue cut out and stuffed up his own a**hole, gets beaten to a pulp in the streets, then hanged from a highway overpass.
As for Rittenhouse, while I applaud the young man for taking affirmative action, I really don’t know what the dude was thinking when he decided to travel alone into that whirlwind of deranged idiots known as a Burn Loot Murder riot. Rittenhouse seemingly had no strategy and his tactics were strictly of the bumbling make it up as he goes variety. While many dangerously deranged imbeciles at any BLM riot deserve to face hostile fire in the streets, the chaotic dynamics of such a shit-show can be tricky even for trained operatives. That being said, I am truly happy that sawed-off little loudmouth child-molesting sack of sewage Rosenbaum got smoked in the street, and I’m just sorry he didn’t suffer more.
The dumpster fire BLM riot in Kneosha was touched off by the shooting of worthless feral street ape Jacob Blake, who had a history of beating women. Blake was, and remains, subhuman garbage. Yet a bunch of embarrassingly deranged white people decided to go nuts and torch the town over the rightful shooting of a worthless thug as if that thug was actually baby Jesus thrown into a lion’s den just for giggles. If an idiot decides to rally to the stench-riddled banner of a thug, then they should ‘t be surprised if thug things happen to them,,,such as getting shot in the face, for instance.
When blacks actually do something of value, actually contribute to society, and demonstrate their lives actually matter in a manner other than degrading society, then black lives will actually matter. Until then, the BLM movement is a f***ing disgrace, a slap in the face to honesty and truth, and anyone supporting it deserves to be subjected to robust derisive laughter in their faces at best or, more appropriately, having the ever living piss beaten out of them, especially if they’re white.
I stumbled through the break-room at work a few weeks ago and there was a football match about to kick-off on the telly in there. Many of the players and the referees did that stunningly moronic take-a-knee thing. The match was immediately switched off. There are few things more infuriatingly absurd to me than overpaid pampered athletes bemoaning phantom racial injustice as the niggers and mongrels destroy the societies that were dumb enough to let them in.
I would never go to court in fine clothes + tie.
those snakes are not worth it !
DONT FORGET AS WHITE DEFENDANT :
in our times you are a hero because you stand
only on your own with no suport from any
powers, even not gots .
@ Umbra Bellator —
Rittenhouse had a very clear strategy, and said so on several video clips even before he was arrested.
The call went out to citizens in that area that small business and homes were left unprotected by local police, so can anyone help. The call MIGHT have been a trap. This don’t change Kyle’s essential heroism.
He said “I’m here to guard private property, and I have a medical kit and can do first aid I am trained to do. I also have a rifle in case it gets serious.”
This is how I would expect a young nobleman to behave. He went north to Kenosha not for gain or even glory, only to protect those who had been abandoned. Then he was mobbed by felons.
The case against him is bullshit because the street videos show clearly he was attacked. Even AFTER he was attacked he did not kill until he was definitely in danger of losing his life. Rosenbaum had to physically attack him before he gave the man a well-deserved ticket to hell
The kid is all right. The world he lives in is a shithole. All of it.
Good statement by Bellator.
@ Franz, agree with that, he had been there earlier in the day as well, he had
volunteered to work with a group of people removing graffiti from the store fronts
your last line is absolutely spot on
GUILTY ARE ONLY THE
COWARDLY COBS +
TRAITOR POLITICANS !
Please nominate Kyle Rittenhouse for citizen of the year award.
Since when is killing antifa commies a crime?
Kyle performed a public service, he should become police chief.
Even better, recruit him for team militia and send them to the ADL and SPLC headquarters because that is where antifa is being coordinated from.
Well said by Bellator !! What is key here is that the Police were held back and let public as well as private property to be destroyed….why ? The answer is obvious as this directive was called for from the top by the men behind the curtains. Kyle did a noble thing there to prevent or attenuate the destruction of property by a Marxist directed group something the local government failed to do. The 2 unfortunate homicides were partly a climax resulting from an action of clear legal self defense’ Without his rifle Kyle probably avoided great bodily injury or death and this action would have been swept under the carpet and not make it to the light of day’
Personnally I am worried by the jury as I feel there may be at least 1 plant ( threatened or bribed ) present in it who is directed to disrupt the universal decision of clear self defense. The Marxists are the lowest of the lowest and the most evil and sneaky group I can think of.
