Prosecutors say Kyle Rittenhouse flashed sign adopted by racists, seek to ban him from bars, drinking (Barf Alert)
Chicago Tribune ^ | Jan 13, 2021 | Dan Hinkel

Kyle Rittenhouse flashed a hand sign adopted by some white supremacist groups and was “loudly serenaded” with a song reportedly adopted by the far-right group the Proud Boys as the 18-year-old drank at a Wisconsin bar last week, prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday. Kenosha County prosecutors asked a judge to modify the rules Rittenhouse has to follow while he’s free on $2 million bail as he awaits trial on murder and other charges for shooting three men, two of them fatally, with an AR-15-style rifle during chaotic protests Aug. 25.

"a sign adopted by racists" = anything the left says it is

They make this crap up daily.

Who was the mind reading cultural authority who decided the OK sign was "racist"?

“...those prosecutors...”

Most prosecutors are Weissman like.

Never to be trusted to be on the level.

The Problem with Rats is they think they’re only allowed the freedom of speech.That Prosecutor had better straiten his head out.What he’s doing violates the first amendment.

If he wants to ban the kid from going into a bar while he’s under age that’s one thing trying to stifle his freedom of speech that’s totally different.

I think that meme was started by 4Chan, though that could be a lie as well in these Orwellian days. Either way, the commie’s can suck it.

>>prosecutors filed several images from bar surveillance cameras showing Rittenhouse flashing the “OK” sign.

All based on a dumb internet rumor/conspiracy theory.

When is the truth about the Proud Boys going to come out?

It’s founded by a Latino and has black members.

It’s all about being unashamed of western civ.

The Black Power Marxist fist salute is racist. But prosectors would never admit it.

Oh noes! What evil song is that?

God Bless America? Our National Anthem? Inquiring minds want to know!

His parents were there. Perfectly legal. Bad optics, maybe.

I thought it was founded by the original founder of Vice Magazine.

What business of theirs is what he did last week, long after the incident they are supposed to be investigating?

What signal are they talking about, the ok sign, the v for victory sign [which is the same as the peace sign], or was he swatting a fly?

Oh my goodness, there was singing at a bar! The death toll in Chicago must be about to skyrocket because Proud Boys have a choir?!

I thought I knew it all. Perverted stuff, racist stuff, etc.

But the press keeps informing me of things I never learned.

If they want society to not know about these and do them, maybe they should just shut up about it.

Mom was there, under parental supervision, you can drink in a tavern once you’re 18 in Wisconsin. Kind of surprised that bond requirements didn’t include not drinking, thought that was kinda standard. Everything else put forward by prosecutors is pure speculation and characterization and should be pushed aside immediately.
