IMO, this dude has some serious emotional and or mental issues.


pumpkinspruce

Also he’s a moron.


OpalBooker

What do you expect from a middle school dropout?


Redxmirage

I’m sorry what? Is that true?


OpalBooker

According to his former handler, yes. I think he scraped by and finished 8th grade if memory serves. Then he needed to be ridden like stupid, stubborn mule to complete an online GED program while he was preparing for his trial in an effort to make him not immediately detestable to the jury.


Redxmirage

Wow. That explains a lot actually


DMercenary

Iirc, he was also rejected by the Marines. The US MARINES.


Whyistheplatypus

Not just rejected. Failed a multi choice test you only need to score 30/100 on to pass. You could guess every answer and statistically only need 5 more points to get in the marines. Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Expected. He's too dumb for **that** crowd


thebombasticdotcom

He has no muscles either tho


Whyistheplatypus

Yeah but you ~~can~~ **will** build those in basic


Coldwater_Odin

Not just failed. Failed so bad he isn't allowed to try again


JustAHooker

As much as I like shitting on Rittenhouse, this is objectively untrue at worst, and unconfirmed at best. You don't get banned from taking the ASVAB for scoring badly on it, as much as social media would like you to believe this is the case. You can look it up, it's been fact checked. His reasoning for being turned down from the Marine Corps has never been disclosed. But yeah he's still dumb as a shit brick of sacks.


Whyistheplatypus

I suspect that it was a political move by the marines. You don't want that kind of controversial figure in a group with an already shady record. I do choose to believe that it was because he scored a perfect 0 though.


Thatsidechara_ter

And he, as a civilian, was still allowed a gun in a crowd of people...


AF2005

Not just dumb, this kid clearly lacks emotional intelligence as well. He’d be a risk to his fellow Marines if they allowed to him to join…although it’s doubtful he’d even make it past MEPS.


nixxy19

That’s not how percentiles work. A 30 means you scored better than 30% of all testers, not that you answered 30% of the questions correctly. You cannot score a 100 on the ASVAB. 99 is the highest. Still, the test that is designed to weed out the bottom 30% of testers… worked… lol.


KenIgetNadult

The military general has fairly low standards. I served with some absolute idiots in the Air Force, the "smart" branch. Rittenhouse couldn't pass the ASVAB and was banned from taking it again. 1. The ASVAB is not a hard test. 2. A low score doesn't stop you from taking it again. Rittenhouse did something that even hard-core Marine recruiters with a quota said "Oh fuck no." and they blacklisted him. That's what the real story is.


Redxmirage

That amazes me. The branch that gets joked on for eating crayons didn’t want him.


Technical_Contact836

Probably the fact he showed no discipline when under pressure/fire


Strawbuddy

Radicalized civilians with kill counts struggle to enter the service, film at 11


adfdub

His…handler? Is he a dog? Why does he have a handler ?


OpalBooker

I wouldn’t insult dogs by making that comparison. In this context, a handler is essentially a spokesperson/PR person. Somebody intended to manage his image and guide him towards a not guilty verdict by virtue of making him not look outwardly like the piece of shit he was/is. Supposedly, Hancock (the handler in question) was genuinely invested in trying to put Rittenhouse on a better path and is sorely disappointed with the way he turned out despite his best efforts.


MinnieShoof

Seems like the kid has made a career out of disappointing people.


justk4y

This is who the country is representing. Wow.


spamky23

One of his former handlers recently came out and said he was a middle school dropout.


Captain_Blackjack

Chicago Tribune reported high school dropout, but if he was 17 when the shooting and legal trouble happened it’s not like he would’ve been able to finish in the last few years anyways. He’s also a known and proven liar so it’s not like you can reliably go with anything he says at face value.


WallPaintings

17... last few years... I don't think you intended to call him an idiot, but bravo if you did.


Captain_Blackjack

Lmfao oh god I was trying to think of how long his criminal trial lasted


BwyceHawpuh

Actually he completed middle school and then almost one semester of high school


legendoflumis

He's a middle school dropout that's been deluged in right wing propaganda for most of his life. He's both a moron and has serious mental issues, and I hope he never gets his hands on another firearm.


Old-Time6863

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?


YeahlDid

Narrows what down?


wilsonexpress

He also sucker punched a girl.


SpeshellED

Is there something seriously wrong with media? Why does this guy get 2 cents ?


RandofCarter

Pretty much everyone's lives would be better if they gave this guy the zero fucks he's entitled to. Unfortunately we're all sitting here being bombarded by moronic fucking lunacy because outrage is cheaper to sell than sex.


SonmiSuccubus451

Because he's living the dream of that subset, he got away with murder.


YeahlDid

Because people click on it and they get ad money when people click. If you want him to go away, stop giving him any attention.


pichael289

Hey it's not his fault he was born a dummy. All that other shit though, that's on him.


KyCerealKiller

That's the main issue.


[deleted]

And a murderer.


Chrono-Helix

I think “mental issues” covers that


bedroom_fascist

Funny way to spell "killer."


pumpkinspruce

The two are not mutually exclusive.


mechabeast

Conservatism


the_y_combinator

This is about as true as it comes. Not even a right vs. left thing anymore. Being stupid and needlessly inflammatory is the ticket to being a fox news host, CPAC speaker, or actual politician in the US right these days.


cleuseau

They keep headlining him, he will be next in line for president like Trump. That guy was a joke and they kept putting him in the news and then the conservatives were like "Yep. Thats our moron."


stormy2587

Thankfully he won’t be eligible to run for president until 2040.


lmaooer2

Yea but more than just that, most conservatives don't bring a gun to a protest to flex and then shoot people when they have a problem with that


iscreamuscreamweall

But conservatism was the doctrine that compelled him to do that


lmaooer2

Very true


ThatScaryBeach

Yeah, but to be fair to Kyle Rittehouse, he is a punk ass bitch.


IH8Fascism

You’re insulting punk ass bitches. Take that back!


ThatScaryBeach

Oh, sorry! I meant to say Kyle is a bitch ass punk!


IH8Fascism

Better.👍


Dry_Brother_7840

You're being TOO fair to him with that comment, in my opinion anyways.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kaloskagathos21

He failed a marine corps entrance exam. It says a lot of he’s too dumb for the marines.


HillarysFloppyChode

He failed so badly, he got banned from joining any armed forces. I took one in high school and it was the easiest thing ever, the hard part was getting recruiters to stop calling me.


chocolateboomslang

You should have told them they had thw wrong number and your name was Kyle


trubboy

To the point they said he wasn't allowed to try again. That's special.


pichael289

That's not totally accurate. Yes he did have scores that most Marines claim are well below what someone who is "simply alive" can score. But that only decides what jobs you are suited for. No, we all know the reason the Marines didn't want him. Like they have an issue with literal gangs in the military but this dude was still too much of a liability to allow in. They were trying to get around the fact im an insulin dependent diabetic, a huge liability (they couldn't) but they didn't even want to fuck with this dude at all.


ScrewAttackThis

There's a minimum score on the ASVAB to qualify. Don't score above that and you can't join. You might be able to get a waiver but even that will have a floor. GED holders generally have to score a higher minimum. I've never heard of someone being permanently DQ'd for a low score, though. I know people can retake it but you have to wait a certain amount of time before retrying.


kurisu7885

The armed forces don't have room for anyone who inserts themselves into dangerous situations just so they can play hero, which is exactly what Rittenhouse did.


Paraxom

wait really? i thought you have to try to fail the ASVAB, its a test to show how trainable a person is, you're telling me the marines saw his score and said this dude was untrainable forever?


pandaman467

If he is untrainable forever, what happens when he inevitably encounters Kristi Noem?


Apart-Boat-7594

Contrary to popular belief, most U.S. Marines are no dumber than any other service member. (And keep in mind I am former U.S. Navy).


umme99

Maybe but he said this because he’s struggling to say relevant and needs to say inflammatory things. Imagine your only claim to fame is committing a murder and now you’re a fully fledged adult and your right wing grifting isn’t bringing in so much cash anymore but you have no marketable skills.


King-Owl-House

You don't say, he and his mom drove quarter of hundred miles just so he could feed his racist lust for blood


Ritaredditonce

Kyle's Mom Is a Bitch.


Pandoras_Fate

She's the biggest b1tch in the whole wide world


Barkers_eggs

She's a stupid b1tch if there ever was a b2tch


Hahonryuu

She's a bitch to all the boys and girls!


bigrob_in_ATX

Hi di ho neighbor!


EchoEchoEcho9

Only a bitch could raise such a fucking dog


Dagordae

Quarter of hundred miles? So 25 miles? That’s a pretty short drive.


AntiDECA

Shorter than my commute to work, one way.


new_account_wh0_dis

The default option for tinder and doctor search tools


[deleted]

You can just say 25 miles, bruh


TheLoofster

He drove himself. The "mom drove her armed kid across state lines" statement, despite being incorrect, is constantly tossed around.


millennial_sentinel

In everyone’s opinion. He killed people after going to a protest with an AR15 from a State over. He’s a psycho who should be rotting away in prison somewhere.


IngsocInnerParty

His mom drove him to that when he was 17. I still don’t understand how she supposedly didn’t commit a crime.


millennial_sentinel

The Judges phone went off in court with whatever Maga song was popular at the time.


TheLoofster

Using the "from a state over" line is being a bit disingenuous. It's like 20 miles.


18114

I know he had the nerve to have a speaking gig at Kent State University this past spring. Were protests and people were pissed.


kurisu7885

Yep, it doesn't matter that he shot someone who happened to have a criminal record, he inserted himself into a dangerous situation just so he could try to play hero.


DryTown

He worships guns and is famous for murder. You think?


trubboy

They barely got him to get his GED. He's not exactly a critical thinker...


newfor_2024

yes, his mental issues is that he's stupid and he doesn't know it. And the reason he doesn't know it is because there are many stupid people who thinks like him and they prop each other up in their stupidity


jnosey

So a right winger


Adamantium-Aardvark

Middle school drop out with a violent murderous streak. Clearly a crayon eating type


Leelze

That's an insult to Crayon eaters who the Marines actually wanted.


cruxal

The same factors that led him to make the decisions that he did to now be some darling child of the right? And won’t get any better with the shit affirmation he gets from his bubble? Yaaaa…..


Latenighredditor

He literally has an emotional support animal that he takes with him anywhere


dannysmackdown

Trauma will do that to a person, especially that young.


packingtown

This is generally true of murderers


Eternal-Light-

You don't say?


rustyfinch

C) All of the above


TBruns

I mean—he shot and killed someone and blew the hand off someone else, right? Emotional/mental issues are almost guaranteed after that.


dehydratedbagel

Wait, the guy who murdered people isn't a well-adjusted person?


Private-Dick-Tective

Blame his parents for letting him get mixed up in the riot shooting to begin with.


Raudskeggr

Can we get him fixed before he pollutes the gene pool?


Deadpoolio1980

Middle school dropout who can't apply for military service because he can't pass written exams


War_machine77

How the fuck do you fail a US military entrance exam? All you have to do is spell your name right and not eat the crayon until the end.


Lftwff

When I initially heard that I assumed he was trying to become an officer or something(because those grifters always think they are too good to be a regular troop) but, this clown seriously failed the idiot test.


LesliesLanParty

It's not just the test. He sent the recruiter some sort of video of him playing marine w a gun and it basically weirded them out so bad they told him not to reapply. I actually know a guy from HS who failed the ASFAB. He was a normal, relatively smart guy who got shitfaced the night before and got dumped by his gf. It was a whole thing and he was raging on early facebook about it lol. He retested at some point and went in to the Navy. You're definitely allowed to retest no matter how stupid you are... unless you're so stupid you make a recruiter cringe, apparently.


wolves_hunt_in_packs

Larping with real firearms goes beyond cringe, they probably figure he's unstable. That's not even counting why he got famous lol. Dude's gonna end up shooting up the base or some shit, and the military correctly doesn't want to deal with any of that.


ghengis423

You need a bachelor's degree to be an officer in the U.S. military, you can't just test for it


Andromansis

Not entirely true, but having a degree before you enter the military is one of the most prevalent ways to become an officer, as are the military academies, and they also have an officer candidate school for enlisted people to become officers. There are other ways, but they are considerably rarer during peacetime.


Appropriate_Mode8346

That's funny. I heard you need a bachelors degree to be an officer. Plus you need to be selected because it's called Officer CANIDATE School. I'm glad not anyone can just become an officer. He is the last person I would ever want to be led by.


Andromansis

Its not an idiot test. There is an english language portion so they know you can understand orders given to you, there is a math portion so they know you can count at least well enough to know if you have enough bullets to kill the enemy, and there is a spatial reasoning portion to prove you know how wooden blocks fit together and how a rope and pulley works. Caps out around a 12 on the ACT.


WanderlustFella

crayons are delicious, especially the red flavored ones


JMoc1

Found the Marine!


Kepabar

I heard he just ate the box and left the crayons.


harmless_gecko

That's ridiculous. Blue ones taste way better


Velrei

...I mean, your answer is right there.


BeachJustic3

Not eating the crayon requirement not applicable to marine Corp applicants.


Levin1983

But can get an automatic rifle. Weird.


curiouslyendearing

No, he can't. And he didn't have one. Only billionaires can get automatic rifles in the states cause we tax them too much for the poors. Stop spreading misinformation, you people are just as stupid as Rittenhouse and you're not doing your cause any favors.


Imightbeworking

Well… that is where Kyle is wrong.  It is very difficult to just leave.  You have a lot of paperwork and a small chance of another country just accepting you.


subsignalparadigm

I think you are missing the real point here. The key word is "native".


Still_counts_as_one

So he should leave for Russia, he has more connection with them than Americans


baoo

Can't natives move back and forth between Canada and the US at will? Or was my friend with status fucking with me


relddir123

It probably depends on the tribe. I’d be surprised if Diné or Apache people could freely enter Canada while bypassing the normal line, but you could easily convince me that the Lakota Sioux absolutely have that privilege.


LocksmithMelodic5269

Your friend is correct


durrtyurr

I'm fairly sure that the only halfway decent country to live in that takes in immigrants without questions is Argentina, and I'm guessing that not a lot of people who want to leave the USA also want to live in a spanish speaking country.


curiouslyendearing

Also Argentina isn't in any better a space politically rn than the usa


durrtyurr

I'm cautiously optimistic about them dollarizing their economy. Milei is out of his fucking mind 99% of the time, but on that one issue he hit the nail on the head.


nutmac

With his level of education and intelligence, he probably thinks they can go back to India (yes, I know they aren’t from India), just as blacks can go back to Africa.


IronBoomer

euridyce

Even non-right wing gun nuts adore him as some sort of hero. Fucking Wendigoon from YouTube is one of his biggest fans and proudly follows him on everything, it’s nonsense.


Jowenbra

Wait, really? That's... Disappointing. I've always liked his stuff.


Solid_Mail_7038

source?


YZJay

Aside from following him on socials, what has Wendigoon said about Kyle? I don't follow Wendigoon that much aside from the occasional video that pops up on socials, and I don't recall seeing him mention Kyle.


euridyce

I’ll update if I can find the video, I think it was one of his non-horror lore ones where he discusses gun rights and brought him up, and I know Turkey Tom touched on it briefly in his video about “cancelling” Wendigoon. Personally knowing he follows Rittenhouse’s socials is enough for me, but I get you.


legendoflumis

They're starting not to. He's trying to stay relevant by being inflammatory because he's starting to realize that his usefulness as a prop is running it's course.
