why does he look like the body horror renditions of cartoon characters that artists would do sometimes, for comedic effect.

This dude looks like fucking spongebob.

I'm happy they always use the picture of him crying like the bitch baby he is

Everyone who defended him during the trial or afterwards has signed a blood pact with the man and has to continue to defend everything he ever does or says forever.

Dude is so dumb he got PERMANENTLY disqualified from joining the crayon eaters club. And this was during a time they were desperate for new recruits too lol

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (3 children)

If this is real then holy fuck is he dumb.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 months ago (9 children)

I'm pretty sure the minimum ASVAB score is like 30. I'm pretty sure you could get that by randomly guessing on most of it. I try not to be too harsh in my judgements of the less intelligent but holy fuck do you have to be dumb to be fully disqualified.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can pass the ASVAB enough to join by answering C on every question. I know this to be true because I worked with multiple guys who said they did exactly that. That may not be true today but it was 15 years ago.

You get a certain amount just for filling out your name correctly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm fairly certain a history of being tried in court because you're a trigger happy murderer also likely disqualifies you from joining the armed forces. That's too much of a ticking pipe bomb even for them.

The murder happened in August of 2020 and this says the test was taken in January 2020. This is seven months before then so I don't think that played a role.

It does show he wanted to join the military, presumably because he had a fascination with killing people. Maybe being rejected directly led to him finding a way to kill someone without joining the military.

I went with a guy that scored 19. They were talking about bringing him back to retest later.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Fully and permanently... 😂

The public should not care what Kyle Rittenhouse thinks and we should not amplify a stupid thing he said.

Technically true, they are entitled to live in Canada

Infamous stupid hick says hateful, willfully ignorant rage bait. Middle school was too much for this fucking mental invalid. He may never see prison for what he's done, but he's trapped in that idiot mind and will never know greater awareness, just like he deserves.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

So... you're saying he will be a future Republican President. Great...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

and will never know greater awareness, just like he deserves.

You say he deserves blissfull ignorance.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No. He deserves a minute inside the Absolute Perspective Vortex.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

He deserves 15 to Life in a Supermax.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

To torment him with the realization?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Yes. The opposite of blissful ignorance is painful maximal understanding, right? Maybe he should be gifted a "Blessing of Unfathomable Empathy" by a great and powerful witch instead.

Whichever is easiest. Or more painful emotionally.

There are times those of us who aren't total psychopaths are also a bit too lenient.
