‘I believed things he told me that I now understand to be … lies,’ Dave Hancock says in new Rittenhouse documentary

A former spokesperson for Kyle Rittenhouse says he became disillusioned with his ex-client after learning that he had sent text messages pledging to “fucking murder” shoplifters outside a Chicago pharmacy before later shooting two people to death during racial justice protests in Wisconsin in 2020.

Dave Hancock made that remark about Rittenhouse – for whom he also worked as a security guard – on a Law & Crime documentary that premiered on Friday. The show explored the unsuccessful criminal prosecution of Rittenhouse, who killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

As Hancock told it on The Trials of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 90-minute film’s main subject had “a history of things he was doing prior to [the double slaying], specifically patrolling the street for months with guns and borrowing people’s security uniforms, doing whatever he could to try to get into some kind of a fight”.

This headline/title is in bad need of some commas.

Thank god it’s not just me. I had to re-read it 10 times.

In the headline, "pledging to 'murder' shoplifters" is a restrictive participial phrase modifying "texts." Restrictive elements are not offset by commas.

Can’t wait till the IRS fucks this little bitch over so hard.

One of the ways that I enjoyed shitting on Kyle Rittenhouse, was to say that I would never want to be around anyone who now has a taste for human blood.

That was supposed to be hyperbolic.

This video has been around since before the trial, tells you everything you needed to know about Rittenhouse's intentions. https://youtu.be/l3B_tpccOnw

He said on camera that he wanted to kill shoplifters when he saw some shoplifters leave with a new cheap items. This was not admitted as evidence during his trial.

Someone should end Kyle before he kills again.
