Kyle Rittenhouse Defense Lawyer Lin Wood Locked Out Of Twitter
reclaimthenet.org ^ | September 1, 2020

Twitter has locked the account of Lin Wood, the lawyer who is representing and advocating for Kyle Rittenhouse, the Kenosha shooter who is charged with murder after shooting dead two individuals during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

As video of the incident is widespread on social media, Lin Wood is arguing self-defense, after even the New York Times reported Rittenhouse was being pursued by those he shot.

Twitter has been locking the accounts of those who have supported Rittenhouse and those saying that he acted in self-defense, even though this is his official legal defense. Twitter has now even gone as far as locking Rittenhouse’s actual defense attorney out of his account.

The news was announced on Twitter by fellow attorney John Pierce who is also representing Rittenhouse. “Twitter just shut down the most important lawyer in the country at this moment in our history,” Pierce said.

just like other sites were found to donate to him when GoFundMe went its usual route, other social media sites will build in time. It’s not an overnight process but it is already happening at some sites.

Money speaks and I don’t care if I was a conservative. If I saw that there was nowhere for liberals to turn to I would create a site where they would all come and make a fortune and put it towards conservative campaigns :-)

at the same time Congress and doj should be looking at these companies that are monopolies withholding free speech

Almost wish I had a Twit! account, just so I could drop them.

Never had one and never will, aside from being run by egotistical punks I do not see the point of the app/ site.

Surely there is a smart enough attorney out there to figure out how to beat these people

Hopefully Twitter will become Lin Wood’s greatest lawsuit.

There are monsters abroad in our land now. Monsters corrupted absolutely by their near absolute power. The main monsters are Google and Twitter. And based upon its handling of Kyle Rittenhouse, Facebook is joining the grotesqueries.

The time is rapidly approaching when the MONSTERS MUST BE DEFANGED, DESTROYED AND STARVED OF INCOME. And THAT can be accomplished... and the monsters know it and fear it.

Please remember, folks...

If Conservatives physically attack Twitter HQ or Twitter executives, we will do hard time in prison.

*****************************************************

Starve them financially. Make it illegal for them to use ANY personal data or knowledge to target advertising. Let new PRIVACY laws defang the beasts. Change how they are characterized legally so they can no longer discriminate against their chosen targets and in favor of their allies.

Deprive them of ALL H1Bs. Remove all their extraordinary legal protections and make them subject to extraordinarily high fines and civil damages for even minor offenses.

Like any other behavior, the more you get away with the more you will push the envelope. Twitter can fact check and delete tweets from Donald Trump. Why would they think they couldn’t block Lin Wood? They can do whatever they damn well please because nobody is doing a thing to stop them, same as the other Big Tech platforms. And it will continue because the people in power are letting them.

I’m surprised it took Twitter so long to ban him. Lin Wood is an enemy of the state.

So. With this action, are they stating:

“Twitter endorses the assault and attempted murder of minors.”

Seems like that’s the message they’re sending.

These monsters have more and more clients/users outside of our borders; they’ll be quite content making their money out of them. When you see how Red China controls Hollywood and the NBA, you realize they can offer a LOT more customers for goods than we ourselves can.
