Kyle Rittenhouse to release video game where player can shoot 'fake news turkeys' to help fund his lawsuits



Kyle Rittenhouse announced that he planned to release a video game where players can shoot "fake news turkeys" in order to help him fund lawsuits against news organizations that he claims slandered him.

Rittenhouse was excoriated by the left after he used an AR-15 to shoot three men in self-defense during the Black Lives Matter rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Two of those men died, but Rittenhouse was acquitted by a jury of charges and became a hero for Second Amendment supporters.

On Thursday, Rittenhouse tweeted about his video game venture.

"I am releasing a video game to fight back against the fake news! It’s called Kyle Rittenhouse's TURKEY SHOOT," he tweeted.

"It's time to fight back against the fake news machine," says Rittenhouse in his video.

"This is why I'm launching the Kyle Rittenhouse Fake News Turkey Shoot video game," he explains. "The media is nothing but a bunch of turkeys with nothing better to do than push their lying agenda and destroy innocent people's lives."

Rittenhouse has hinted that he would be filing defamation lawsuits against the various news outlets that he says unfairly maligned him. He has also said that he plans to sue NBA star LeBron James for a tweet mocking Rittenhouse and comedian Whoopi Goldberg of "The View" for her comments.

"Right now we’re looking at quite a few. Politicians, celebrities, athletes. Whoopi Goldberg’s on the list. She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that," he said in an interview February.

Rittenhouse also appeared to comment on the Supreme Court issuing a decision Thursday that shut down a New York state law restricting gun rights.

"The second amendment saved my life. EVERYONE deserves the right to protect themselves," he tweeted.

Rittenhouse prosecutor claims, contrary to law, that 'you lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun'



The lead prosecutor in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial made an extremely puzzling claim involving guns and self-defense during his closing arguments to the jury Monday afternoon.

What did he say?

In an obvious affront to the second amendment rights of all Americans, Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger argued that the defendant, Kyle Rittenhouse, gave up his right to self-defense when he chose to bring a gun to the Black Lives Matter riots in the Wisconsin city last summer.

"You can't claim self-defense against an unarmed man," Binger stated before adding, "You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun." The law does not state, either in Wisconsin or elsewhere, that the self-defense can only be claimed against people who are armed with a gun.

Elsewhere he claimed, "You cannot claim self-defense against a danger you create. If you're the one threatening others, you lose the right to claim self-defense," according to Newsweek.

In their closing arguments, Binger and his team suggested that Rittenhouse was responsible for provoking the "entire incident" of attacks from rioters on Aug. 25, 2020, by bringing a weapon to the city and thus could not claim self-defense in the incidents.

Binger pointed to a moment prior to the Rittenhouse's shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum in which the defendant allegedly put down a fire extinguisher and pointed a gun at a bystander.

"This is the provocation," the prosecutor remarked. "This is what starts the incident."

What's the background?

Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the incident, is facing multiple felony murder charges for fatally shooting Rosenbaum (36), Anthony Huber (26), and wounding Gage Grosskreutz (28) during the riots in Kenosha last summer.

The Illinois teenager has maintained that he was present at the riots in order to protect local businesses against looting and burning and to provide medical aid to people injured during the uprisings. His legal defense has argued that their client acted in self-defense when he shot three men with an AR-15.

Videos of the incidents seen by the public appear to show Rittenhouse being chased down and physically threatened before he fired any shots. The defendant himself testified last week that Rosenbaum had threatened to kill him verbally before running after him and grabbing the barrel of his gun.

Later, he was chased down yet again and hit in the head with a skateboard by Huber prior to firing his own gun. Grosskreutz, who survived the gunshot wound to his arm, testified that he pointed a handgun at Rittenhouse before the defendant shot him.

The defense is expected to make its closing argument in the case later in the afternoon, then a jury will begin deliberating whether or not to convict.

Facebook removing posts supporting Kyle Rittenhouse. Company says shooting was a 'mass murder'



Facebook has reportedly opted to remove social media posts supporting 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, declaring that the shooting he was involved with to be a "mass murder."

Rittenhouse faces murder charges after he allegedly killed two rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and wounded another on Aug. 25 during ongoing protests.

What are the details?

On Tuesday, conservative author and YouTuber Mark Dice said he received a notice from Facebook, threatening a suspension, after he shared video of Rittenhouse offering medical aid to wounded Kenosha protesters.

He shared a Twitter update on the threat of suspension, writing, "Facebook just removed a video I posted showing Kyle Rittenhouse offering help to a wounded protester in Kenosha and are threatening to delete my entire account."

Dice's original post said, "Newly uncovered video of Kyle Rittenhouse shows him helping an injured protester after she was struck in the foot with a projectile. In another video he told the cameraman that he'd brought a medical kit, which is the bag he was carrying. Further proving he had no malicious intent by showing up. In fact, he was there to help anyone who needed it."

In a statement, a Facebook spokesperson told the Verge that the company is, indeed, removing posts appearing to support Rittenhouse because the company considers the shooting a "mass murder."

"We've designated this shooting as a mass murder and have removed the shooter's accounts from Facebook and Instagram," the spokesperson said.

In a later Twitter update, Dice wrote, "In no way did I 'glorify' or celebrate [Rittenhouse], nor 'praise' him. I simply posted a non-graphic video, and stated as a matter of fact what it showed. He helped a protester who was injured and didn't show up in Kenosha with any malicious intent to cause trouble."

What else?

In a statement to Media Research Center, Dice said that it's more than concerning that Facebook would attempt to censor what could be considered evidence in the Rittenhouse case.

"It's horrifying that Facebook is now censoring evidence in a criminal case that helps exonerate Kyle Rittenhouse," Dice said. "The post was going viral and had been shared almost 10,000 times and debunked the mainstream media's false narrative that Kyle went to the protest to cause trouble. Quite the contrary."
