Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”

You’re the one telling me to prove the negative, lol.

Prove he pointed his weapon at peaceful protesters.

I’m telling you no such thing. You claim there’s video. Where is the video?

Also, I did not say he pointed his weapon at peaceful protesters. This is what I said:

Or was he trying to keep the kid pointing the rifle at the peaceful protesters from shooting them?

The problem is, we will never know now.

Which you claimed was “literally a lie” and then claimed there was video.

So where’s the video?

Burden of proof is yours. This is your original claim.

Back it up, or concede you can’t. Anything else is evasion.

I did not claim there was video of Rittenhouse NOT doing something, lmao.

I replied to you saying you saw no footage that didn’t start with him already running away, by pointing out the obvious fact that there is. One little example, from a CNN article, under a heading that literally contains the words “before the shooting”, lmao:

In another clip from an on-camera video with Richie McGinniss, the chief video director of the Daily Caller, Rittenhouse says he was there to protect a business and “to also help people.” “If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle because I need to protect myself obviously, but I also have my med kit,” Rittenhouse says in the video. McGinniss points to other armed men around Rittenhouse and asks what they are doing. Rittenhouse responds, “Their job is to protect me.”

“We’re running medical and we’re going in and we’re getting people,” Rittenhouse says in the video

I don’t think you actually watched the video on that page, because it doesn’t show what happened before the shooting.

And it’s hilarious that you think anyone here would find anyone from the Daily Caller credible.
