Several bands have dropped out of an upcoming metal festival in Orlando after Kyle Rittenhouse was announced as a special guest.
By all rights, this kid should be in prison. Since we couldn’t do that, shunning him relentlessly will have to do.
I was browsing newest comments for the lulz, and saw your comment without the context. I knew it would be that douche.
Woah I didn’t know you could browse lemmy by comments. That’s a whole new zone of content. Scaled still doesn’t make sense.
How fucking tone deaf to have a wanna be vigilante, who terrorized people on our own soil, and who killed innocent Americans, be a guest speaker for a charity event benefiting veterans and first responders with ptsd. Honestly, it’s insulting
Edit: also what the fuck, the ceo said the people who are calling out the bad choice are “mentally ill”. I am a veteran with ptsd, I know I’m mentally ill. Don’t fucking diminish my struggle because you don’t like people bringing up valid concerns. Someone needs to smash a guitar over that fuckwad’s head
On Instagram, Shell Shock founder and CEO Tyler Hoover rebuffed the bands ditching the festival, and those criticizing it, saying, “I’m here to tell you, you’re not punk, you’re not hardcore. You people, the people that are trolling and the people that are talking shit, you guys are the mentally ill portion of society. You guys are the ones that are manipulated.”
and CEO
Dude is the opposite of punk, and a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
You know that line from Don Henley’s song “Boys of Summer” that went:
Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
That’s this guy.
More the Ataris’ cover:
Out on the road today
I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac
I vomited a little.
Like “Leader of Anonymous” or “President of the Anarchy Club”.
If veteran charities could stop trying to align with fascists this veteran would be a lot happier. I have PTSD and I don’t want a dime of this money. That dumbfuck created his situation and killed someone over property that wasn’t his after threatening to kill protestors. The only reason he isn’t locked up is because the judge is as fascist as he is.
I lost 4,000 friends fighting Authoritarianism and Religious Extremism. I’m not sure where the fuck anyone thinks it’s a good idea to associate us with far right stuff except for the guys trying to recruit us.
In addition to murder, Kyle also used a gun that he obtained illegally from a friend as a minor and crossed state lines with illegally.
But his victimassailant had a skateboard. Was that skateboard obtained illegally? Did they cross state lines with the skateboard? If they did, then clearly they deserved to be killed.
That chinless murderer can’t fade away quick enough.
I can’t think of anything less metal than this loudmouth, crybaby murderer
Quick someone get him a black hoodie and send him to George Zimmerman’s neighborhood.
