Rioting and burning down cities is a civil rights rally?? NBC is disgusting, but then so is every single Progressive media out there today.

Defending shop owners you punks

n.n said...

He did not entertain abortive ideation during a Black Lives Matter Incorporated event. He did not exercise Capitol punishment. He didn't fail to follow basic safely rules of handling a gun. He opened fire in self-defense.

Chris said...

You don't hate the media enough.

Peachy said...

"Opened fire" ???

Not true.

Another lie from MSNBC.

Peachy said...

After running for his life, he oped fire on a democrat-Nazi child rapist.

Iman said...

That spider can do a lot of damage to human flesh. I’ve seen photos of some people losing much of the hand that suffered the bite.

Fuck the midwit naysayers, Kyle!

MSNBC (D) will always be BS-NOW.

"Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin..."

You mean the same Kyle Rittenhouse who successfully defended himself from three murder attempts at a 2020 riot in Wisconsin? That Kyle Rittenhouse?

RideSpaceMountain said...

It's unbearable to them that a kid was able to shoot 3 archetypes of their constituency - a pedo, a wifebeater, and a bum - singlehandedly. They'll never live it down.

n.n said...

A Nazi... a National Socialist of far-left ideological vintage under a Diversity umbrella. #HateLovesAbortion

Joe Bar said...

"Civil rights rally." Yeah. Right.

Peachy said...

Remember - Leftists universally approve of Child rapists as long as the child rapist is a member of Leftwing Democrat sponsored $$$ Antifa thug/ or ICE watch.

Dead Pedophile’s Estate Sues Rittenhouse, Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies For Emotional Distress, Wrongful Death

Emotion!

Shoeless Joe said...

If the Kenosha riots were a "civil rights rally" then so was January 6th. I’d love for somebody at NBC News to put that in a story and see how long it took for them to get fired.

Peachy said...

The poor babies. Antifa thugs with criminal records will be washed clean, ignored and eulogized by Soviet-D / MSNBC (D)

Why We’ve Decided to Tell You the Criminal Records of the Men Shot in Kenosha

Big Mike said...

NBC News doesn’t believe in he natural right of self defense. That’s too bad because I sure do.

Gusty Winds said...

Democrat Governor Tony Evers purposefully let Kenosha burn. I'm sure he was ordered to my the national party for BLM summer political leverage. It was then I fully accepted, Madison doesn't give a shit about the rest of Wisconsin.

Original Mike said...

"civil rights rally"

Incredible.

Gusty Winds said...

If Governor Tony Evers had done his job, Kyle Rittenhouse wouldn’t have had to step in. It was only after Rittenhouse defended himself that the state finally stepped in. Kyle single handedly quelled the Kenosha fires.

Peachy said...

Never forget that "DE-Fund the police" was a massive part of this democrat-Soviet man-made rioting. The machine.
The left want to purge the ranks of non-political police- and fill the police ranks with Minnieapolis-like partisans and loyalist corruptocrats.

Scary stuff.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

The Left Sickos (like @NBC who wrote that tweet) will always side with child molesters over a 16yo boy who fought back. To them Kyle should have had the decency to die instead of fight. TBF his response was mostly peaceful too.

Gusty Winds said...

Remember the Kenosha riots were all about defending the "rights" of a man who was kidnapping his children and taking them from a woman he abused.

Original Mike said...

For the record, the Kenosha riot was the site of CNN's "mostly peaceful protest" fiasco.

narciso said...

No that was minneapolis with the burning mcdonalds

jim5301 said...

Must be a slow news day.

Gusty Winds said...

I do like the title of the post. I'm assuming Althouse recognizes NBC's venom.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

No. News is being mad fast and furiously. You are simply slow.

Original Mike said...

CNN ridiculed for ‘Fiery But Mostly Peaceful’ caption with video of burning building in Kenosha

Wince said...

Only to be bitten, once again, by a venomous media.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

O Mike FTW!

Eva Marie said...

Many years ago, I was in a Circle K when I noticed the woman in front of me with one of those hard, alcohol-worn faces and the ugliest open wounds on both of her upper arms. I had to ask what happened.
She told me she had spent the night in one of the fleabag hotels in my area. Sometime in the middle of the night, she woke up in terrible pain and thought she was having a heart attack. She dialed 911 and was taken to the hospital.
It turned out she had been bitten on both arms by brown recluse spiders. Their bites can necrotize the surrounding tissue. Doctors had to cut away the dead tissue leaving her with gaping holes in both arms.
But she survived.

Known Unknown said...

All the news that is shit to print.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Saw a brown recluse for the first time when I visited Kansas circa 1990ish. My girlfriend explained the distinguishing feature of them is "they walk like Mae West." That probably wouldn't help younger generations visualize the spider but it worked great for me at the time.

Ampersand said...

"opening fire at a civil rights rally"

Mr. T. said...

One would have thought that NBC/DNC would have learned their lesson after they were caught engaging in jury tampering and intimidation during the Rittenhouse trial...

Skeptical Voter said...

A brown recluse will put a hole in you--lots of necrotic tissue after a bite; Rittenhouse put bigger holes in those three jerks.
Of course here in Southern California we have "kissing bugs". A bite from them and an anaphylactic reaction will put you in the hospital. Or so my wife learned a few years ago. Years before that, my daughter was bitten by a brown recluse. Life in the suburban hills around LA is not for sissies.

Peachy said...

He opened fire and killed hundreds of sweet kind innocent honorable peaceful democrats. Right NBC?
If you're going to lie, NBC, make is a juicy big soviet lie.

Peachy said...

Kyle Rittenhouse Slaughtered thousands!

Peachy said...

why would a spider bite make the news?

oh right - jerking leftists.

Dr Weevil said...

Kyle Rittenhouse should tell the press that the bite of the brown recluse was the second-most painful animal bite he's ever received. When they ask "Oh my God, what animal gave you a worse bite?", thinking about copperheads and grizzly bears and crocodiles, answer "You all did - the reptiles of the press".

P.S. Even KR's defenders do not emphasize enough what an excellent shot he was, and presumably still is. Not a single bystander was even grazed, much less maimed or killed - just the three who were trying to kill him.

Leland said...

Wow, burning businesses is now a civil right? I bet the Palisades arsonist would like to call NBC as a witness.

hombre said...

“… opening fire ….” NBC is incorrigible.

Mary Beth said...

Whoever wrote that clearly misspoke. It wasn't a civil rights rally, it was a mostly peaceful civil rights rally.

RCOCEAN II said...

Yeah, he "opened fire". At people who were charging him with guns while he was running away and trying to maim/kill him.

And a "civil rights rally" LOL. Aka a far-left mob that was armed, violent, burning and looting. Charlottsville 2017 nazis by comparison were "mostly peaceful".

RCOCEAN II said...

The MSM makes in clear every day, in every way, that they don't care about violence or law breaking. Its all just "Who, whom". If youre a white conservative you deserve to be killed. If a white conservative defends himself, he's to blame. Meanwhile Leftists no matter what they do, burn loot kill, are "mostly peaceful" doing nothing but protestin'

And its not just the MSM. The judges leftwing ones - have made it clear they have 2 sets of rules. One for the Leftist Criminals and People of Color, and one for conservatives and whites. BTW, I just noticed the black killer of the white girl on the NC train is not going to prison. He's "crazy".

FullMoon said...

The comments on X kinda dispute the inference.

imTay said...

Still you guys believe the stuff you read in the news.

FullMoon said...

Photos of Rittenhouse being attacked, buildings burning down. Might be beneficial to the right if the pics and comments get spread around social media and internet .

Original Mike said...

"Still you guys believe the stuff you read in the news."

That statement is so general as to be be useless.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

And, O Mike, it is false, which skimfay knows. It's just trolling. Conservatives routinely think, "most of this news is BS." Regardless of the source. The propaganda is just everywhere all the time.

Nobody falls for it harder than you do.

IM Tay - what?
Is there some way you can tie this to Israel?
Please lay out the bread crumbs for us... we need your help.

Leland said...

Comcast/NBC may not be as dead as NYT thinks, but NBC News is dead to me as a place to get news. For all I know, Althouse may be posting this story to troll Lone Just Us, who seems to believe NBC News headlines despite actual quotes from sources in the story being contrary to the headline.

Peachy said...

NBC didn't give any background into the 2 antifa-type leftist men who were shot and why.

Peachy said...

NBC leaves it open for the left to feel rage -
Ironically - Rittenhouse probably must have security.

Pillage Idiot said...

A child rapist, a domestic abuser, and a burglar walk into a bar.

Rittenhouse announces, "Shots are on me!"

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Must suck to be a one-armed child molester. Dude prolly refused all interview requests.

john mosby said...

Well at least they called him a "noted firearms enthusiast." Kind of like when they called the ISIS leader an "austere religious scholar." CC, JSM

Jake said...

Wow. That is one fucking misleading headline.

Rustygrommet said...

The unwritten subtext is, "we hope he dies."

rehajm said...

It was impressive the restraint Rittenhouse took in defending himself. Grace under fire. Our enemies, the paid part of the operation were clearly well funded, trained and rehearsed- medics, defenders, NPCs- also disturbingly impressive. I'm sure they paid the dead pedos estate the money they owed him.

Mason G said...

"Must be a slow news day."

Not really. Tennessee and Alabama redistricting is moving forward. Democrats staying classy as always.

🚨 BREAKING: TENNESSEE HOUSE PASSES 2026 REDISTRICTING — and liberals have thrown the chamber into complete and utter CHAOS

Democrats are going berserk in a frenzy, WALKING OUT and some even being REMOVED by officers! 🤣

9R-0D Congressional map! 🔥

What a glorious sight to watch.

SEND IT TO THE GOVERNOR! Make it law!

The meltdowns are freaking epic. THE SOUTH IS FIGHTING BACK, racial gerrymandering is OVER.

You really can't hate the media enough. You just can't.

Aggie said...

Had about 3 hours worth of driving today, so NPR was up. The news cycle was glorious, story after story on the unfolding re-districting disaster. All of the themes with a strong doom vibe, some of them biased to the point of seeming parody.

In Virginia, the courts - The Courts ! - have subverted the word of the voters - The Voters ! - who overwhelmingly voted in the measure. But Republicans - Republicans ! - have exploited a 'technicality', a mere trivia step, really, to persuade the judges to rule in their favor. It was hysterical, hearing them tie themselves in knots trying to leverage outrage and umbrage-for-the-wronged out of this. Judges and Republicans thwarting the will of the voters, Oh My, Muh Democrasah !

Just imagining the reverse story, if it had happened to Conservatives, every single aspect of this bias would have been turned to virtue and the Powers of Good, marching to victory, Comrades.

Then Tennessee, where the one remaining district represented by Democrats is about to go away. Outrage ! Racial discrimination ! Why, the Voter's Rights Act to End Racism As We Know It has been stripped, then gutted, then dried in the sun until it's dust, blowing away. The Democrat Representative went on at length presented with an open microphone. It's a poor black district that will never again enjoy the racial harmony and power of organized politics, and the fruits of fair and equitable distribution of government attention. Why, black people will probably lose all interest in politics, and recede back into the under-served shadows that once were the norm of the White South's Racist Ways. The Democrat Representative has proudly and faithfully represented his district's loyal black voters for over 20 years ! Twenty, suh ! Now, it makes no difference that he's white. He's no racist.

No mention in any of these stories the current state of district maps in the northeast or other solid blue states.
I've learned that NPR can be quite entertaining, in a King of Hearts kind of way.

Mason G said...

"No mention in any of these stories the current state of district maps in the northeast or other solid blue states."

"It's (D)ifferent when (D)emocrats do it", don't you know?

Original Mike said...

"The Democrat Representative has proudly and faithfully represented his district's loyal black voters for over 20 years ! Twenty, suh ! Now, it makes no difference that he's white."

Tennessee is particularly amusing. Democrats are protecting a white guy in the district in question. His Republican challenger is a black woman.

The real version of steve martins charscter in the jerk

YoungHegelian said...

OH! OH! Here we have a prime example of American systemic racism in action, and yet the silence here is stunning! If you get bit by a BROWN recluse, your flesh comes out in necrotic chunks but I'll bet that if you got bitten by a WHITE recluse it would cure erectile dysfunction or sumthin'!

Mason G said...

"His Republican challenger is a black woman."

So- a racist?

YoungHegelian said...

@Original Mike,

Tennessee is particularly amusing. Democrats are protecting a white guy in the district in question. His Republican challenger is a black woman.

I also was not surprised when Virginia Democratic voters missed the cosmic irony of installing a black woman as governor in the capital of the Confederacy, and instead chose to go with a ivory white ex-bureaucrat.

The Dems really, really do believe Uncle Joe Biden's offhand remark that if you don't vote for them, you ain't really black.

Original Mike said...

"I also was not surprised when Virginia Democratic voters missed the cosmic irony of installing a black woman as governor in the capital of the Confederacy, and instead chose to go with a ivory white ex-bureaucrat."

Yep. It's 2026 but democrats want us to believe it's 1960. This is not about electing black people, it's about electing democrats. And everybody knows it.

Bunkypotatohead said...

Shortly after moving to arkansas I awoke with a 2 inch diameter bullseye welt on my leg. Went to the nearest urgent care, and the doc says that's just a brown recluse bite...I've seen hundreds of them. He applied some antiseptic and said it would clear up in about 10 days. Which it did.

William said...

People here don't appreciate the skills that go into writing such a report. It's very difficult to express contempt and derision in a way that's not actionable. The writer has succeeded admirably and, undoubtedly, has a future in journalism.

Char Char Binks, Esq. said...

The rioting was in support of an armed rapist who was shot while resisting arrest for trying to kidnap children, but a black rapist/kidnapper, so that’s civil rights

Rick67 said...

About four years ago my wife was hospitalized for a few days because of a spider bite. I'm not a worry-wort but I was concerned.
