Kyle Rittenhouse- "I killed two people! I'm goin' to Disneyland!!"
A bit young to be a sociopath, aren't you, Kyle?
The toxic behaviors were there before you decided to enter into relationships with them. The signs were there. You may have chosen to look the other way, but the signs were there.
P.A. Speers, Type 1 Sociopath - When Difficult People Are More Than Just Difficult People
Any man who behaves arrogantly with what little he knows, or claims to know all, only reveals to all that he really knows nothing. Real greatness does not reside inside those who feel large. The truly wise are meek.

If Kyle Rittenhouse had any brains or humility, he would’ve avoided an interview with Piers Morgan like the plague. But, lacking in both departments, Rittenhouse agreed to the interview because he has the native intelligence and self-awareness of a pack of Marlboros.
What did he have to gain, even if Morgan tends to be sympathetic to Right-wingers? Why subject himself to that kind of scrutiny, especially when he possesses neither the maturity nor the intellect to avoid Morgan’s rhetorical efforts to paint him into a corner?
Then again, when you’re a 20-year-old sociopath with no sense of the consequences of your actions, why not talk to Piers Morgan? Perhaps a wealthy Conservative benefactor will recognize your plight and throw wads of money at you.
British commentator Piers Morgan interviewed right-wing self defense celebrity Kyle Rittenhouse on his Uncensored show — and cornered him about what he has done.
Rittenhouse crossed state lines from Illinois to Wisconsin with a firearm in order to defend stores from looting during protests against the Kenosha Police for the shooting of Jacob Blake, and ultimately ended up in a confrontation that led to him shooting three people, killing two. A jury acquitted him of all charges in the matter, finding that he acted in lawful self-defense and propelling him to stardom on the far right.
"You killed two people and wounded a third," said Morgan. "How do you feel about that?"
"Well, Piers, they attacked me," said Rittenhouse. "They left me with no choice. I have nightmares every night of being attacked and being ambushed and them trying to steal my gun and pointing guns in my face. It's not an easy thing to do. But I did what I had to do to stay alive and if I didn't, I would be dead."
Didja notice anything about that? Like not a word of sympathy for his victims? Nothing about how he regretted taking their lives or felt any compassion for them or their families.
No, it was all about Kyle Rittenhouse. “They attacked me.” “They left me with no choice.” “I have nightmares every night of being attacked and ambushed.” “I did what I had to do to stay alive.”
Me, me, me….I did this, I had to do that, if I didn’t do this….
The language of a sociopath.
"Yeah, listen," said Morgan. "You were acquitted, and many in America believe that you had the absolute right to defend yourself. I'm just curious on a human level, you know, you're very young even now. What are you, 20 years old now? And you've killed two human beings and wounded a third, I just wonder how that feels?"
"I don't think that's an appropriate question to ask how it feels," said Rittenhouse. "It's not an easy thing to do, it's something I live with every single day, it's nightmares I have. It's something I have to deal with, I have to deal with the PTSD and the trauma from having to do that."
It’s absolutely an appropriate question to ask. Rittenhouse may have been acquitted, but that hardly means he’s innocent of murder. He got off because of a ridiculous quirk in Wisconsin law…and because the judge was a buffoon.
Frankly, I hope he deals with nightmares and PTSD every night when he drops off to sleep for the rest of his pitiful life. I fervently hope he’s denied a decent night’s sleep from now until his passing. He deserves the constant reminder that he murdered two people, no matter how he may justify it to himself.
"Right," said Morgan. "But it seems to me your emotions are more about you, and your trauma because your life was being threatened and that side of it, rather than the question I'm asking, which is simply, on a human level, how do you feel about being so young, and yet having on the record, for the rest of your life now, that you took the lives of two people, regardless of the circumstances?"
"And like I just said, it's something that I deal with every day," said Rittenhouse. "I deal with the PTSD and the trauma and the nightmares. It's not easy to deal with it."
Rittenhouse’s emotions are about himself because that’s all he cares about. The PTSD, trauma, and nightmares SHOULD be part and parcel of his sad, miserable existence for as long as he lives. He should be considered a pariah by every decent, moral person he encounters. Until and unless he acknowledges his responsibility for the deaths of his victims and resolves to make things right somehow, he should be denied the fellowship of decent, law-abiding humanity.
I’m not saying he should be consigned to a living purgatory for the rest of his days. I’m saying this should be the case until he accepts responsibility for what he’s done, acknowledges his wrongdoing, and meets with the families to express his remorse. Absent that, he can rot in a run-down trailer on the wrong side of the tracks in Sheboygan for all I care.
Kyle Rittenhouse is no hero. Without his gun, he’s a whiny, sniveling crybaby. And now, as much as I hate to be the one to break it to you, comes the news that Rittenhouse has written a book, which is rich because I wasn’t sure he could read or spell.
He says he wants to “rewrite his narrative,” and I don’t think those big words are his. They probably came from a PR consultant feeding him talking points.
‘Course, Rittenhouse probably felt he had no alternative but to write the book. It’s what Conservative luminaries do when they’re out of money and have no marketable skills save for being infamous. So they find a ghostwriter, let them work their magic, and then kick back and wait for the cash to roll in.
Except in this case, I think young Mr. Sociopath might be in for a rude surprise. Seriously, how many people do you think will buy a book “written” by a 20-year-old murderer, even if he is a hero of the 2nd-Amendment-über-Alles crowd?
Tragically, America’s Favorite Sociopath is broke, so he’s hoping his book will alleviate some of his financial woes.
[D]espite his infamy, Mr Rittenhouse’s lawyer has revealed the 20-year-old has lost all his money since his acquittal.
“He is working, he is trying to support himself. Everybody thinks that Kyle got so much money from this. Whatever money he did get is gone,” lawyer Mark Richards told Court TV.
Was his windfall spent on hookers and blow, perhaps?
“He’s living, I don’t want to say paycheck to paycheck, but he’s living to support himself. Obviously, as his lawyer and somebody who I want to do well, I hope he does re-engage in his studies.
“But right now he is working full-time, he is living a law-abiding life and he is doing something that he enjoys.”
Mr Rittenhouse has previously been open about his financial situation, appearing on Fox News to plead for donations to his legal fund.
Despite being acquitted in criminal court, the 20-year-old is currently facing a lawsuit filed by John Huber, the father of Anthony Huber.
Mr Huber filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Mr Rittenhouse, Kenosha city officials and its police force accusing them of violating his son’s constitutional rights.
Mr Rittenhouse has raised $250,000 in donations for a legal defence fund to fight the lawsuit.
The estate of Joseph Rosenbaum also filed a wrongful death suit against Mr Rittenhouse in August of this year for “compensatory and punitive damages.”
I sincerely hope Kyle Rittenhouse gets his shit together, but everything that’s happened since Kenosha points to a sociopath who’s blamed everyone but himself for what happened.
Come to think of it, that sounds prototypically Conservative.
For Rittenhouse to have any hope of living as anything but a pariah, he must own his actions. He needs to accept responsibility for killing his two victims and admit as much to the families of his victims. Not that he can ever make the families whole, of course. Rittenhouse’s victims aren’t coming back from the dead. That said, his acceptance of responsibility would go a long way toward healing those wounds.
And it’s not as if he can go to prison. He’s been acquitted of the two deaths, so double jeopardy attaches. There’s no legal responsibility on his part, merely a moral responsibility to grow up.
I don’t think we’ll have to hold our collective breath in anticipation of that happening any time soon, though. America’s Favorite Sociopath © still sounds as if he’s nowhere near ready to take responsibility for his murderous ways. He’s too busy whining about “constantly receiving death threats.”
Grow the fuck up, you sniveling sociopath.

And now a word from our sponsor….
The fact that he openly threatened the people in Wisconsin who were only responding in self-defense before he murdered them was not allowed into evidence.
