Who thinks this will be the last that we'll hear from Kyle Rittenhouse?

My prediction: He's going to be egged on by the Proud Boys to continue testing the edges of the law. And, at some point, people are going to start defending themselves better.

I actually feel sorry for this kid. I really do. He doesn't stand a chance. What hope might have been for this kid someday is over. He'd have been better off convicted of SOMETHING and doing a little time. Get him out of the public eye and hopefully have some voices in his ear with some sanity.

Now his future will be more indoctrination and fake hero worship until there is no humanity left in him. It is a sad thing.

IF he does try to cash in, can't he be sued civilly? He'll never have any money. Probably go around making fun of those people he murdered like Zimmerman does Treyvon Martin. Unless Fascist Madison Cawthorne DOES and hires him as an intern to work on the floor of the congress as he promised he would. And who could stop Cawthorne? NO ONE.

Not shocked by this verdict. The judge was biased. He'll probably retire and go get a job on Faux Noose. The jury, well we knew the make up of it, and what they'd rule. Being Black and Native American, it's just another white folks day in the USA

since he murdered and still goes around mocking and making fun of Treyvon Martin, so I don't think he'll share one minute with Zimmerman whose not making much money himself. Rottenhouse will have his very own grifting tour.

He'll have his 15 minutes of fame, and it's likely all downhill from there. It wouldn't surprise me if he eventually winds up on the receiving end of vigilante justice, himself, after his Proud Boy users suck him into some other situation.

my incorrect predictions, but my guess, at least right now, is that Rittenhouse and his entire family will disappear for the short term. There will be people out there intending to harm them all. There may even be some name changes in their future. I don't know, that's what I would do anyway.

Post that people are talking about carrying up there. They're afraid of the yt supremacists invading the city.

She also said that he should be in fear because people are on edge and will take anything from him as a threat. He needs to leave the area immediately, though he's not that bright.

It won't be long before he's no longer of use to them, and they find some other shiny toy to exploit. Or, being the dumbfuck that he is, he does something stupid and winds up on the receiving end of the kind of thing he was dishing out.

He’ll be cast aside. He’s served his purpose for them. They’ll still use his image but they already poured enough money into getting him acquitted. He may show up at CPAC but that’s about it.

If he gets in any trouble we’ll hear about it but that’s it.

All the accolades and such don't generally cover for their defects. George Zimmerman didn't become a poster boy for anything.

Most people don't want to hang around with an unstable 18 yr old that murdered a few people, no matter what a jury had to say. The cash cow was before the verdict.

attention through a series of dysfunctional screwups. Zimmerman's name surfaces from obscurity when he's in trouble again.

No guesses here for Kyle. He apparently dropped out of high school early, has problems with social skills. Those offers for him to "intern" in DC might evaporate the way you indicate the cash-in opportunities tend to.

There's already talk of getting him to speak at CPAC. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a spot with one of the right wing organizations out there -Ben Shapiro's or Charlie Kirk's. I think this creep's got himself set up for life
