    You think? I would think calling him a murderer prior to his acquittal wouldn’t meet the threshold of defamation.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      He said that Goldberg called him a murderer after the acquittal

      I was only joking

        @Doctor-Phibes and @jon-nyc that's true. However, Biden's video, talking about white supremacists and showing Rittenhouse was before his acquittal.

        Ultimately, I guess it boils down, as I said, as to whether he is a private citizen or a public figure.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          This kid is going to need bodyguards for the next decade, at least. He is being prevented from going to college by the raving lunatics, and he has zero other options of getting a job. @jon-nyc and others criticize him for embracing a public role, but what other choice does the kid have? Seriously? How else does he survive the next year? 2? 10?

            @LuFins-Dad most of that seems either unlikely or heavily exaggerated.

            He’d be among friends at hillsdale. Millions actually think he’s a hero. Surly many of those would hire him. Not a big tech firm with a global brand, but local small and medium sized businesses would pick him up.

            I think you’d be hard pressed to find a gun shop anywhere in the US that wouldn’t hire him. (Ok my turn to exaggerate)

              All by embracing the status being pushed at him. He can’t go on to be a police officer or a first responder (the path he was on), he can’t choose to go to Michigan or Penn State, he can’t take a job at Starbucks or Old Navy. His options are MUCH more limited in scope and each of the opportunities you listed is based on embracing his role in the current culture war.

                Not really. Any number of businesses that have no cultural valence would hire him. Auto parts? A warehouse? A machine shop? A plumbing supply place? All he needs is a hiring manager who thinks he's the shit. It would be very easy to find.

                    Raise your hand if you think you could have had your career if attached to a Rittenhouse identity.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Of course not but I doubt he was on track for it in any event.

                          Like David Hogg, Kyle has worked hard to parlay his 15m of fame into something more, , pretty actively seeking continued access to the spotlight.

                          Rittenhouse didn't make himself a public person, Hogg wanted to become a public spokesman.

                          Perhaps in the beginning but certainly since his trial he’s been trying pretty hard.

                          That doesn't hold any water in this particular case. He was made a public figure against his will, much like Sandmann.

                            There don't seem to be any good guys in this.

                            The people who libeled him, the people who are attempting to make him a hero, the people out for his blood, the people he killed, and not forgetting Rittenhouse himself. None of them behaved well or sensibly.

                              That’s not true. We’re talking about him, and we’re good guys. Well, I am at least.

                                  It is (somewhat) common on Taiwan, but if he is having so many problems, maybe he could change his name.

                                  People have pretty short memories.
