Brewery Cancels Kyle Rittenhouse "Meet & Greet" Due To Protests

June 2024 · 6 minute read

"Meet & Greet" for fans of Kyle Rittenhouse has been cancelled

Conroe brewery says it’s been inundated with harassment and some threats after announcing Friday that it would no longer allow a “rally against censorship” featuring Kyle Rittenhouse to be held there later this month.

“It’s been kind of a shitstorm,” Southern Star Brewery CEO Dave Fougeron said in a Saturday morning interview. “But now I’m more certain than ever that I made the right decision.”

What venue could Kyle book so he can meet his fans one-on-one?

Meet and Greet the kid who shot three people in the street as a self-appointed executioner.

People and characters like Bernard Goetz, and the Liam Neeson character in Taken and the Charles Bronson character in Death Wish, are always going to be popular. Rittenhouse has been added to list.

R5 Wisconsin has fucked up gun laws that allow for loopholes and to escape murder charges.. In most other states he would have been convicted.

R6 - there are absolutely no parallels between Goetz and Rittenhouse. Zero.

He is desperate to monetize this

Southern Star Brewery's Yelp listing is inundated. Them's the breaks when you embrace a murderer.

Real Americans don't drink shitty beer; take that swill and dump it into the Gulf.

Just because he was acquitted does not mean he didn't do it.

Prison.

He admitted to doing the shooting and the events are captured on video. The legal question was whether it was murder or self-defense. The jury determined that it was self-defense and not murder.

[quote]The jury determined that it was self-defense and not murder.

Ergo, he did it, explained as the jury not placing the same value on the victims' lives as they did on Rittenhouse's.

Why doesn't he just go ahead and run for office somewhere as a Republican? Nobody is going to hire him and he might actually get elected. That's where we are today. I saw an interview where I swear he said he was very "pro-life." He's a perfect Republican, shameless with no self awareness.

R17 Oh, he will. Despite his Garbage Pail Kid visage, he's surprisingly articulate and clearly looking to profit from this.

Ironic that the right always blathers about the left idolizing and promoting George Floyd while the right idolizes this killer. At least Floyd never killed anyone. Rittenhouse killed two people.

Someone explain, OP thread header inductees the event was cancelled due to protests, but the text inductees the threats came after the event was cancelled, right?

So again where can Kyle Rittenhouse hold his meet and greets for his fans, if venues get cancelled due to protests

What are Kyle Rittenhouse fans suppose to go to meet him for selfies?

He can host his meet and greet at Mar A Largo. No protests will be held there.

Kyle can meet them in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot for selfies.

He can go outside on his breaks and do it.

Ask and ye shall receive, R31!

Nicki Swift has all kinds of WHET stuff about Joe the Non-plumber. It's been a bumpy ride and the article was written in 2021 so he may have more failures under his belt since then.

Joe the Plumber. What a dumb-ass trailer park POS. I was hoping that he was dead.

"WHY THE HELL does he have fans???"

Because there are people in the world who fantasize about taking a gun and killing everyone who pisses them off, and being lauded as a hero for it instead of being sent to jail. And unfortunately, not all those needledicks sublimate their feelings into Batman fandom.

Conroe is one of those red-necked towns that surround Houston. It’s about an hour or so north of Houston. Some of the towns in the pine forest are terribly racist, and pockets of the KKK still survive.
