    Vandals Post Shrine to Kyle Rittenhouse in West Hollywood

    “Ritton House [sic]. Saint of Self Defense. Slayer of Pedophiles,” read a poster shrine to Kyle Rittenhouse on an electrical box on the corner of La Cienega Boulevard and Holloway Drive in front WeHo Bistro. The poster went up sometime in the morning on Thursday, December 16. The artwork shows the 17-year-old vigilante as some sort of avenging angel holding a spear on one hand, a shield on the other, and a semi-automatic, AR-15 style rifle dangling across his chest.

    Twitter user Jamie Hendrix @Jamie_R_Hendrix posted a photo of the poster. “What the actual f*ck.” He tweeted. “THIS in West Hollywood?!”

    The poster outraged some community members.

    “Horrific.” Replied Amanda Stoneall.

    “I. Literally. Can’t.” Said @AnnaBanna.

    “White Nationalists bullshit (face with rolling eyes emoji),” Tweeted Dominic Antonio Crossey.

    “I imagine it will be defaced momentarily,” tweeted Andrew Krop. “Still fucked up, though. Definitely some anarchist/boogaloo dickwads trying to stir shit in LA. They were there during the BLM protests, so not surprised. Disgusting nonetheless.”

    “THIS in West Hollywood?!” Asked Jamie Hendrix.

    And the answer to is question is no. Not in West Hollywood.

    The offending poster was removed hours after it was posted on Twitter, and life in front of WeHo Bistro was back to normal.

    On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot two men and wounded another in Kenosha, Wisconsin (he’s from Antioch, Illinois). The shootings occurred during the protests, riots, and civil unrest that followed the non-fatal shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake, by a white police officer. At trial, Rittenhouse used the affirmative defense of self-defense. Rittenhouse and the three men he shot were white. Rittenhouse was armed with a semi-automatic, AR-15 style rifle and had joined a group of armed men in Kenosha who, according to their own assertion, were protecting businesses. He was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and first-degree recklessly endangering safety (2 counts). The verdict was not guilty on all charges.

    Rottenhouse’s not guilty verdict polarized the country on both sides of the political spectrum. He has been embraced by right-wing politicians and figures.

    According to the poster, which misspelled his name, he is being billed as a saint.

    Not in West Hollywood.

    I guess the “MAPS issue” needs to be thoroughly and publicly addresed. The community has been needing to distance itself from pedophiles for a minute. There are some things NO ONE should appear tolerant about.

    The overwhelming majority of pedophile sex offenders are white male heterosexual . Jerry Sandusky and Jared Fogel are two famous examples of married, heterosexual sex offenders who fathered children. Your “needing to distance itself from pedophiles” is promoting the idea the LGBTQ+ community is a part of or supports pedophiles, this is a common LIE put out by right-wing hate groups❗

    A-lot of misinformation❗ Kyle the scum is white in-spite of attempts by himself recently and others to say otherwise. Yes people tried to take the gun from him because he was an active shooter. He showed up at a bar before his trial in Mount Pleasant, Wis., clad in a T-shirt that said “Free as F—.” Then the 18-year-old allegedly drank three beers, posed for photos with members of racist hate group Proud Boys and flashed a “white power” hand sign. Law enforcement and even the judiciary have a long precedent of helping violent white supremacists.

    This is nothing new, right-wing racists have always claimed “self defense” as a justification for their hate crimes and, have always encountered a sympathetic judiciary when charged with criminal misconduct. Notice the glorification of killing “pedophiles” which in the circles Klye the scum circulates, is routinely used to tag the LGBTQ+ community in general. It’s an outright incitement of violence against West Hollywood

    Well, it stands to reason that a culture of individuals that largely believe that insisting on the use of condoms is at best, “being phobic” would probably not value “Self Defense” that much. Wondering, are the millions of dead killed by carelessly passed HIV virus from disease spreading scumbags as important to you as the convicted pedophile and domestic abuser that Rittenhouse legally smoked?

    I take back what I said earlier. This one is the dumbest post ever. A not guilty verdict does not mean he’s innocent. Connecting this article to HIV makes you sound like a moron.

    HIV is not the connection, dummy, murder is. If you murder someone with your infected cock negligently, that’s a bigger moral crime than defending yourself with a weapon from an attacker. People in this community brush off careless infection of others all the time, but are wrecked over this kids self defense action in a state they don’t even live in. Priorities, lol.

    You’re not making it make sense Marky. It’s like saying McDonalds murders people because they serve food that leads to heart disease, the number one killer in America. It’s dumb and not true. The kid in question left his house with an assault rifle to protect a neighborhood he does not live in. His intent was to take the law into his own hands. Now he’s out there peddling lies at right wing conventions that the government is trying to take away his guns. Clearly it is not. He got away with murder.

    He ain’t my hero. I think he’s an asshole, but he defended himself against people that were, in fact, attacking him FIRST. So his intent is not really a consideration, by law.

    NO it was right-wing conservatives quite hateful toward LGBTQ+ individuals and other oppressed minorities who lead the opposition to condoms and claiming AIDS was God’s revenge against Gay people. It was people like Reagan when the AIDS/HIV epidemic began in the 1980s, openly came out with comic hostility towards the Gay community suffering. Now your killer hero is joking about what he has done!

    It’s called projection. Like when you go on Facebook crying about how I’m obsessed with you and stalking you when it’s so clearly the reverse. Have a safe and WONDERFUL holiday West. You should join the LGAB in 2022.

    Oh West. I know better than to engage with crazy, and you should know better than the tired Brady Bunch name calling. If that last comment is your attempt at an apology for saying I suck dick and calling me a pass around bitch with a low IQ and so on, then I must admit, it’s a pretty weak one. You would never say those things to my face. Meanwhile, you don’t know what I’m up against. You’re just mad that I don’t know my place. According to one of your previous posts, I should be out there mowing a… Read more »

    Spare me your alternative truths. Gays don’t have mouths to feed so not sure where you come up with welfare queens, especially when straights outnumber gays. Even in a city like West Hollywood. Make it make sense Marky Mark.
