Kyle Rittenhouse slammed by sister for 'unwillingness' to help as family faces eviction

[Tom of Temecula]

The sister of killer Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty of intentional homicide after crossing state lines and shooting three protesters — two to death — has taken to Gofundme to plead for financial help as she and her mother face eviction from their apartment.

According to Faith Rittenhouse, her brother, who has been touring the country giving speeches with the support of Turning Point USA, has refused to help out his sibling and mother. On GoFundmMe, she wrote, "Just under 4 years ago, our lives were shattered when my brother was involved in a tragic shooting incident. The aftermath of this event uprooted our family's stability and left us grappling with grief, trauma, and the harsh reality of starting over."

She added, "We’ve had difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment due to the fact many people still believe my mother drove Kyle or was somehow involved in his decision to go to Kenosha. We've struggled emotionally, mentally, and financially to piece our lives back together."

Noting that he is only asking for $3,000 (with $2,145 donated as of Friday morning), she wrote, "With my brother's unwillingness to provide support or contribute to our family, we've been left to navigate this journey on our own," while pointing out that medical issues have waylaid her from being able to keep a job.

1. A very needy and self involved family. I don't think for a second we've heard the last of Kyle.

[LiberalFighter]

2. I wouldn't donate anything.

[Probatim]

27. Not even thoughts and prayers?

You monster!

[MattBaggins]

45. Not even thots and pears

[niyad]

50. May that whole family receive everything they deserve.

[yardwork]

3. What a surprise that the killer is also a selfish person who turns his back on his family.

Nice role models the right wing elevates.

[jimfields33]

26. We have no idea how his family treated kyle. Some families don't deserve help.

Even on here some on DU had very bad upbringings. His mother and sister can get jobs. I mean 3 thousand behind would not take long. And I’m sure somebody would hire them. Maybe not the 100K job I suspect they think they are entitled too. But unemployment is at a historic low.

[marble falls]

37. Always looking for the bright side, eh? Pity Kyle? They have to look for work (maybe) all he had to do was not kill ...

... two people and seriously wound the third. Fuck Kyle. How bad could they have been to him, his mama drove him out of state to the scene of his murders.

[Kingofalldems]

49. He produces nothing.

[marble falls]

59. Oh? And what does he do? Make a living off his notiority as a murderer. And getting booed off stages ...

... you do know you're on DU, right?

Be honest: would you pay to see him brag about being a murderer?

[Kingofalldems]

48. "Kyle" you say?

[dpibel]

56. DU upbringings?

What in the name of all that is right and holy does "some on DU had very bad upbringings" mean? How would the upbringing of anyone on this site affect, as we so fondly refer to him, Kyle?

As for the rest of what you say: The claim is that the sister, anyway, has medical issues that prevent her from getting a job. You, apparently, are privy to contrary information, since you state as a fact that "His mother and sister can get jobs."

And, really? $3K is no big? Have you ever read about the ability of Americans to cover a sudden $1,000 expense? "Dude! Anyone can go get a minimum wage job and put away $3K, like, probably, in a couple of weeks.

Other than that, I'd say you've really nailed it! Our Dear Friend Kyle is being victimized again!!!1!1!!

Which is to say: Congratulations on another comedic masterpiece!

[hlthe2b]

4. Kyle is a selfish narcissistic little monster-- whodda thunk?

So, he left his sister and mother to face the wrath of what HE did...

I hope to live long enough to see Karma deal (fully) with the Kyle Rittenhousers and George Zimmermans of the world... It will do little for their victims, but maybe restore some sense of "order" and sanity if either faces any justice whatsoever.

[walkingman]

5. The guy belongs in jail. Not that complicated and his family is no better.

[Blue Owl]

6. Kyle Rottenhouse

Nice job ruining your family, you murderer. You should be in jail!

[FakeNoose]

7. Does he even have a job? Of course not, he's asking for "donations"

How's he going to help any family member when he can't even support himself? What a loser.
The sister is at least trying to get a job. She'd be better off if she moved away and changed her name.

[BlueKota]

11. My guess is the right wing is paying

him to be one of their poster boys.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

8. "I've got mine...go fuck yourself!" Isn't that how it goes in the rightwing cesspool? nt

[niyad]

9. What a self-absorbed, clueless idiot. "tragic shooting incident"?

Your asshole brother MURDERED two people in cold blood, and mutilated a third person. You are having to put YOUR lives back together??? boo fucking hoo. What about the families of your murdering brother's victims? What about the man he mutilated?

Spare me.

[Midnight Writer]

10. Maybe Kyle will show up with his rifle and blue gloves and defend the homestead.

[keithbvadu2]

12. Little Kyley has a job now. Some kind of Second Amendments representative.

[Think. Again.]

13. It must be tough...

...to be so deep in denial that your public explaination about the murders kyle rittenhouse committed is...

"...my brother was involved in a tragic shooting incident."

[FarPoint]

14. I think sister and mother are also grifters in this....

They can and will milk the cash cow of the MAGA gun nutz folks....

This is an opportunity they see works for Kyle...

[Aristus]

15. Wow. Not being there for the person who drove the getaway car is a special level of douchebaggery.

Okay, lady; maybe next time think about that when someone begs you to drive them across state lines while bearing an illegally-obtained firearm.

I mean, it's not like you just tripped and fell, and it all just kind of happened...

[maxsolomon]

17. you didn't read much of the OP, did you?

the mom did NOT "drive the getaway car" to or from Kenosha.

"We’ve had difficulty obtaining and maintaining employment due to the fact many people still believe my mother drove Kyle or was somehow involved in his decision to go to Kenosha."

you want a villain, blame Kyle's buddy who straw-purchased the AR15, and that kid's dad who let them store it at his house.

[Aristus]

19. Okay. Kyle Rittenhouse: "Not a douchebag". Got it.

n/t

[maxsolomon]

20. i'm quibbling with what you said about the mom.

kyle rittenhouse is a murdering douche.

[stopdiggin]

34. no, man. but false statements are still false statements

And particularly if they follow directly behind an OP clearly saying differently.
If you want to refute the claim in the OP - fine, go for it. Otherwise - you're being called on (continuing) promulgation of falsehood(s). And getting huffy about it doesn't change the equation. Do better.

30. The claim that his mother drove him is false.

55. shocking how many people still believe it.

[getagrip_already]

16. Peach of a family there....

Mother was involved in getting him to put his armed nose into a protest where he ended up murdering people who were upset he was there.

Family in financial straights, medical bills (probably no health insurance because Obama evil) and community hatred.

No help from the wunderkind.

No help from Maga.

No help from faux.

Wahhhhhh.

[Initech]

18. I honestly look forward to the day when I never have to hear about this POS ever again.

[republianmushroom]

21. Cry me a river.

... they push someone down for the sake of another’s rise. Polarizing, at times hard to swallow.

[Raven123]

22. I call bull. To say he was "involved " in a shooting event is bull.

Sorry for their situation. I wish them safety and security.

[no_hypocrisy]

23. Sorry, Mom and Sis. You've earned your karma.

Mom bought the weapon that Kyle Rittenhouse used to murder two and seriously wound a third.

Reminds me of the Aesop's Fable, The Thief and His Mother.

[obamanut2012]

35. His mother did not buy the weapon, his friend Dominick straw-purchased it

And the dude's dad like Rittenhouse store it at their home.

His mother also did not drive him there.

I am quite sure his mom is not a great person, but she didn't do what she is accused of doing.

[no_hypocrisy]

40. I'll accept your account.

I remember all the accounts that I read, obviously not all accurate.

[stopdiggin]

36. I had not heard that mom 'bought' the weapon

Do you have anything backing that up?
(no problem tearing into Kyle - deserving of every bit. not sure that that can, or should, be extended to family members. except where demonstrated ... )

[obamanut2012]

41. She didn't, it was a friend of his

[stopdiggin]

43. yeah. and there was a good bit of 'disinformation' surrounding this case

(horrifying and just plain ugly as it was)
But it's kind of disheartening that we're still repeating the same old tired (and false) nonsense - here years on.

[dembotoz]

24. wonder if he will make an appearance at the RNC

to add some local flavor.....

[lark]

25. He's a fucking creep and murderer, what does she expect - empathy - ha!

Boo hoo.

[RockRaven]

28. Burn your bridges, Kyle. As many as possible.

May you have nowhere to turn when the RWNJ circuit moves on to the next creep of the moment.

[harumph]

29. Makes me think of the Elie Wiesel quote...

"The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference."

Let me just say I cannot be bothered to give one shit for the Rittenhouse family.

[stopdiggin]

38. probably shouldn't 'get started' - because it sounds like that particular claim is false.

[Voltaire2]

32. "left us grappling with grief" - oh fuck off.

Family of dysfunctional clowns had zero grief to grapple with.

[Grins]

33. More proof he is a conservative Republican!

Doesn’t get any better than eviction!

Maybe she should announce she and her mom are voting for Biden?

[Duncan Grant]

60. Nothing that boot-straps and Jesus can't handle!

I’d stay and chat but I’m late for a book burning.

[Fullduplexxx]

39. Fuck off go crawl into a gutter

[KPN]

42. Kyle Rittenhouse piece if shit. Him and George Zimmerman. World would be a better

place absent the likes of them.

[Liberal In Texas]

44. Well kid, see if you can get the NRA to send you some money.

You know, live by the gun....

[nolabear]

51. Looks like they reached their goal.

Good?

[GoodRaisin]

52. Surprised the RWers haven't flocked to their aid.

Guess Trump has soaked up most of their money already.

[a kennedy]

57. Looks like they received and a little more then what they were requesting.....
