He's 18 fucking years old. Who cares what his politics are? Leave the poor kid alone.

Seriously, this. As I've said elsewhere he's young and has almost certainly been exposed to MSM propaganda, plus Robert Barnes has explained that he's a very idealistic, naive dude without a cynical bone in his body. I'd bet $100 that he still unironically accepts the name at face value and thinks the mob that attacked him (including the three pieces of shit he had to shoot) were an anomaly.

I really do think it's a bit much to expect him to yell 'FUCK THOSE GAY NIGGERS' in his first interview as a free man after a year of horror & PTSD. In any case, a true BLM believer would never sit down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. Rittenhouse's now in Florida and Matt Gaetz & Paul Gosar have offered him internships; let's see how that works out and whether he can accept redpills over the next few years before brushing him off as a permanently brainwashed normie.

(Of course it'd be real nice if he could just fade into the background and pursue his desired career in nursing or w/e, but frankly I don't think anyone is going to allow him that luxury after he singlehandedly threw a wrench into the left's riot machine)

Like Andrei Sakharov said of himself and fellow dissidents, they were under a profound hypnotic spell that had not disappeared years after they had seen the light.

In his position, seeing how all BLM supporting terrorists hate him, I'd take what I could get.

let's see how that works out and whether he can accept redpills over the next few years before brushing him off as a permanently brainwashed normie.

I doubt he has strongly established opinions. Rather, just going with the flow. And with good instincts, otherwise he would be cheering the looting rather than opposing it and even trying to stop it.

I figure it's also him setting up his pending cases against leftist media. Sandman's lawyer may have set him up with that line.

I kinda see the same. At worst I see this as a coached move to go 'Don't add more fuel to the fire, the death threats are already constant and it's tiring blocking all numbers.'

At best, Kyle's a naive kid that's spent the last year taking in as little news as possible. I could absolutely see it more as 'BLM is great, we all need justice, especially those that are getting less because of skin color. We have some bad elements that need to be addressed, but the general message is good.' And well, I can absolutely see Kyle as a guy that's a little too eager to see the good in everyone.

They'd walk up to him in a bass pro and talk shit about his family, just short of assaulting him physically.

Seriously, the kid's got PTSD

By pandering to BLM, they're not going to change their opinion on him.

A classic mistake of naivety. "If I'm nice to my enemy, then they won't hate me."

He went to the leaders of BLM that night in Kenosha to say he was an EMT, he's a boy who cares about his community.

And to be honest, I don't care what his politics are, I only care that he's been vindicated by justice.

The other idea … let’s assume your an 18 yo man who has been the face of white supremacy for the last year ….. What better way to be forgotten about why saying something like this . We might hate this but it’s probably really smart He probably wants to have a life outside of what has happened

The last time I remember hearing about George Zimmerman was when he took up painting a few years back and tried to sell some of them. Beyond that he's faded into obscurity.

Nick Sandman probably could fade into obscurity if he wanted to instead of working as a GOP staffer. Live on a ranch outside of some one-horse town in Wyoming or Montana living off settlement money. As it is you don't really hear about him anymore. And being as young as he is he has the opportunity to be physically unrecognizable in 10-15 years if he wishes to be.

Progressives didn't accept an apology. Zimmerman got shot at by a deranged lefty. The narrative moves on and lefties have short attention spans.

Live on a ranch outside of some one-horse town in Wyoming or Montana living off settlement money.

Do that, and it's done wonders for my health. Not settlement money on my end, just work your ass off, ignore anything I learned in gov't. brainwashing daycamps, learn a trade that's useful, save and invest, buy your property, tell everyone else to fuck off except your employees. I don't miss any of the bullshit rat race.

And being as young as he is he has the opportunity to be physically unrecognizable in 10-15 years if he wishes to be.

None of my classmates recognized me last time they saw me, about that time span. At all. Except the one I dated through the last couple years of high school, for obvious reasons.

I don't give out my phone number, I don't join clubs or orgs, or anything, I go about my daily life, up at four, in bed at sunset, I don't have social media, I learned to shoot, clean, repair my own kit.

Who knew country music was so true (aside from the simp anthems. Seriously, wtf. I listen to the mainstream and want to yell simp at the top of my lungs. Love songs? No. Bitch songs. No woman is worth groveling for. No woman ever fell for the pansy ass bullshit these idiots sing about in the songs they didn't actually write. If they do, ghost the red flag and run.)

If Rittenhouse truly supported BLM movement, he wouldn't have gone to volunteer to clean up at Kenosha even if his dad's business was there let alone know how to handle a gun. I'm gonna assume this is him trying to appease the mob. I mean sure, it's bit of a pussy move but I think in this kid's position, I think being professional helps his optic than being a cringey e-celeb gloating over his aquittal on Tucker Carlson's interview. I'd say he just wants to go back to normal than being a meme.

Apparently /pol/ actually expected to him to be at least like George Zimmermann, if not like their caricature of Ben Garrison - and in most public.

George Zimmerman was nothing like they portrayed him as, either before or after.

Yeah I have to give him the benefit of the doubt since he's literally trying to save his life from an angry mob, still. Kenosha wasn't the end of it. If people buy his story, at least it will demolish the white supremacist / "he went there to shoot at protestors he didn't like" myth. That's a big if.

If he was represented by good lawyers I might say this is a strategy to help win settlements against all those that defamed him as a white lives matter guy.

Before there was no evidence one way or the other, now there's evidence he's the opposite of what they claim. Not a lawyer, but presumably it's easier to prove malicious intent for statements made against him from now on.

Even after all this, he supports those scumbags? Talking about Stockholm Syndrome.

Lost a lot of sympathy, but of course it is still good that he was acquitted.

Coached response, lawyers likely fed him some lines that would make him look better to the uninformed normies and help keep the DOJ from pursuing charges. Also make the "white supremacist" narrative come into question with the normies since EVERYONE is going to be watching this interview. Likely going to be a few PC answers to earn some good will and possibly even waterworks at some point for sympathy.....Normies NOT leftists since their minds are already made up.

What else was he supposed to say?

He obviously should have chosen his words better though, as the BLM movement is the problem.

Obviously optics no longer matter at this point, but Rittenhouse is understandably afraid of triggering them further.

I guess the real question is does he really support BLM, or is that just sloppy shorthand for saying he agrees that there have been some instances of unjustified violence on the part of the police toward blacks?
