‘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”.

    Imagine being such a bootlicker that you want to kill people for property crime, even when that property isn’t yours. What a loser.

      He just wanted to kill people. That they were black made it more attractive, and the property crime was a convenient excuse.

    Wait you mean when he grabbed a rifle and traveled an inordinate distance to the scene of a riot and shot two people to death, he wasn’t just an innocent bystander after all?

    I wish I was still on reddit for this shit. I remember when it happened and every fucking bootlicking Magoo was defending this shit stain and using the law as if they understood self defense in that context. They worshipped that guy for being “a good guy with a gun” and had every excuse in the world for why he was a victim…

    Man I hope they’re seeing this.

      They’d come up with new and exciting logical loopdeloops to explain how he’s still the victim in this situation.

        What do you mean by “how white he is”? Why do we keep injecting race into everything.

        Imagine someone commented about “how black he is”

          you take it out of context. white as in “pumpkin spice latte”.

          that psychopath was the definition of “angry racist white dude with a gun”.

          on top of it all, the crime was racially motivated because he showed up to a BLM protest with an assault gun.

          if he had been there to support the protest, he would have come unarmed. but he didn’t, did he? he went there to murder innocent civilians.

          In another text, Rittenhouse sent: “I wish they would come into my house,” adding, “I will fucking murder them.”

          in summary, he is a white racist irredeemable piece of shit that deserves life in prison where he can be a nice prison wife, because even the Nazis in prison would make him their weak ass bitch.

                Who are you? I’ve seen your post history (now) since you mentioned mine. Interesting. I’m not trolling, I’m a genuine person. It honestly feels like you were the one who is trolling. Sorry you were so offended. Hope you have a better life sometime.
