Facebook Declares Kyle Rittenhouse’s Actions ‘Mass Murder,’ Won’t Allow Posts in Support




Conservative author and YouTube personality Mark Dice reported that his Facebook page had received a threat of suspension after he posted a video of Rittenhouse offering to give medical assistance to wounded protesters in Kenosha shortly before the shooting.

“Facebook just removed a video I posted showing Kyle Rittenhouse offering help to a wounded protester in Kenosha,” said Dice, who also posted the video on Twitter.

Facebook, he said, is now “threatening to delete my entire account.”

In a comment to Breitbart News, a Facebook spokesman confirmed that the company is removing posts “in support” of Rittenhouse, because the incident is considered a “mass murder” by the company.

“We’ve designated the shooting in Kenosha a mass murder and are removing posts in support of the shooter, including this one,” said the spokesman.

Interesting.

Now two defensive shootings equal a mass murder?

How about all the BLM posts on FB about killing cops? There are far more than two of them so far.

I also saw someone say they started a GoFundMe for the kid and Facebook took that down.

So now, the already skecthy definition of mass murder is even more diluted....

Kind of changes what we think of mass murder - we already have it loosely defined as "many people killed in a limited geography by POSSIBLY the same person". Hence, gang drive-bys now count as "mass murder".

The Rittenhouse thing is appearing worse as a narrative - even the most vigorous account against him acknowledges that he did everything humanly possibly to RUN AWAY. That felons and criminals continued to chase him. That after aggravated assault against a teenager, a guy pointed a Glock at him - who by the way despite having a rap sheet this long and claiming he regrets "not killing the kid" - hasn't been charged with anything.

I was surprised that of his three victims - Joseph Rosenbuam, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz - none of them appear to be anything but Caucasian. Didn't you get the idea from the news that they were all black?

They've spent all the air time labeling the kid a "White Supremacist"

My FB should be locked shortly from all the “FREE KYLE” memes in the last 30 mins.

You know I am looking at this one video where there's a line of guys with guns clearly guarding a building - and an unruly crowd getting in their face a few feet away from them. We already know the three victims were criminals. What the hell were they planning to do?

If I am not mistaken - the building they're guarding has already been vandalized a few times. Does the mob there think they are entitled to vandalize it? Is that why they're shouting "shoot me" and point your gun at me?

Kyle Rittenhouse and his militia defense ignores that private paramilitaries are illegal

The legal team for 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse has called him a member of the “militia” and a “minuteman,” referring to the patriot forces that fought the British at Lexington and Concord in 1775. This terminology, though archaic, is fairly common in gun circles, with more and more radicals acting as if the U.S. Constitution deputized them to form paramilitaries.

In the case of Rittenhouse, before he allegedly shot three protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, with an AR-15-type rifle on the last Tuesday of August, he was reportedly patrolling the city streets with members of the radical Boogaloo Bois militia.

And they were not the only ones brandishing long guns and strutting about in defiance of a curfew amid the roiling protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. There was also the Kenosha Guard, a brand-new creation by a local private investigator who claimed he didn’t “need the government’s permission” to command a militia.
