NEW YORK—After an AR-15-wielding teenager was charged with the first-degree murder of two protesters in Kenosha, WI, Blue Lives Matter supporters told reporters Thursday that Kyle Rittenhouse’s actions did not reflect the nonviolent tactics favored by most police-state apologists.
“When you see us out there waving ‘thin blue line’ flags and menacing the public with semiautomatic rifles, please know that the majority of us are just peacefully expressing our support for a system in which police officers are allowed to kill with impunity,” said Blue Lives Matter activist Gordon Hamblett, explaining that the movement did not stand for lethal vigilante violence, but rather for lethal state-supported violence carried out in the name of keeping people safe.
Garbage attempt at being funny when the truth is that a hero is being held as a political prisoner for self defense
'Blue lives matter' is NOT a genuine slogan. It's a directly contradiction and retaliatory hissyfit to the organic, necessary, and LITERAL phrase 'Black lives matter'. Obviously. If you care about your cops, and you should, they're mostly good people. Bake them brownies.
Literally the onion cannot come up with news articles more absurd than the actual news. We live in the worst timeline.
Popehat I don't know what that even means
Popehat Back the Nazi blue also put hundreds of thousands of dollars towards his defends ( ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAT WORDS) !
Poor little boy was Clearly not prepared, with holding strap around his neck..and gloves, to shoot and murder anybody..! He was there in the streets ..in Obvious Fear..!! Poor..Poor little Innocent Boy dreaded for his life..!!

Back in my day, they called city cops flat foots. They walked a beat instead of riding around in cars and they got to know the neighborhood.
Where was the one cop wth the brains to go , 'Hey kid! Put that weapon down and get over here!'
Why didn't a single cop look at that face and bother to ask a few more questions as opposed to tossing him water and sending him on his way? Where were the responsible authority figures?
Fuck that shit I fully support what Kyle did
This woke comedy isnt even intelligible 😂
It was self-defense.
As a person who said it better than I can said, which is too big to fit into 1 comment
Way too real
whether or not you agree with the post can we all come together to tell the onion to stop constantly reposting? can we get some new shit up in here?
'KyLe RiTtEnHoUsE wAs A mEdIc AcTUaLlY' No. He is a 17 year old who took a 6 hour first aid course once and bought a kit off Amazon. Also medics don't show up to protests with an AR-15 (which btw is not a hunting rifle for those who are trying to use hutning laws)
Breaking NEWS! TRUMP POSTHUMOUSLY PARDONS TIMOTHY MCVEIGH! Calls him 'very fine person,' and 'a patriot.'
What a sad hero to look up to...
I can't believe this is still here.
There are two sides.Those who support police but condemn police brutality and those who support more police brutality.
'We prefer it if murder involves police officers at the wrong address,' - Blue Lives Matter spokesman
Whew bootlickers big mad in the comments
Onion was the shit once upon a time. Now it's just shit.
nah man, kyle is a hero
This is actually a BETTER stance than they actually take. People look at that premeditated murderer as a hero.
This is satire because Blue Lives Matter people are calling him their hero and absolutely saying the terrorist is reflective of them.
Rittenhouse was out there being a medic and putting out fires. He was attacked by the terrorist Antifa people first. He was absolutely justified in shooting them to defend his own life.
Bootlickers real mad about this one lmao
Aww miss on this one. They raised 500k for the boot licker
He was mostly peaceful
Free Kyle
The Babylon Bee is better.
Actually blue life matters
I’m actually convinced this is a real headline
i think he shouldnt have had that gun jailtime was inevitable as well as intimidation
Paging LLinWood
Why is he wearing gloves?
Pretty mediocre if you ask me. I used to think onion was funny. Now it’s just bias garbage that the left doesn’t even think is funny.
Blue Lives Matter supporter celebrates every time another BLM supporter dies:
That kid was braver than 3/4 of the men in US.
Police state, yes comrades
Rittenhouse a G
I thought the onion was satire
Kyle Rittenhouse is my hero no cap
It must be really hard the Onion to come up with sit nowadays because this year has been more ridiculous than half their stuff
I see you already caught one. I predict many more. This is so subtle that I see many taking the bait.
Kyle did nothing wrong.
I was not familiar with the Rittenhouse shootings, but this video makes a compelling case for his innocence. I'd love to see the other side, too. 'The Truth in 11 Minutes' -
Anybody else old enough to remember when the Onion was actually funny, and not doctrinaire claptrap?
Damn onion ain’t funny at all.
Babylon Bee is way funnier...
If you love Yemen If you are against the Saudi-American aggression on Yemen If you reject the existing blockade on Yemen Take part in the campaign USAggressionCrimesOnYemen
When the reality is actually even worse than The Onion...
I thought the onion headlines were suposed to be satire? So why is this one real AF?
This is the second one today. Give these people promotions.
An Ouroboros of parody.
you guys just don't miss, do you?
If David dorn had been BLM & was shot by Rittenhouse, conservatives wouldn't give a crap
Gj onion. That is hilarious
I can’t just stand by and do nothing! Can you? Help me to help this single mom and her children We can’t let them become homeless Please help! Please RT Click to Donate: via gofundme
Rogue_USNPS Didn't he blast a chomo, a woman beater, and somebody with a gun, all of whom were charging and hitting him? And it was over him extinguishing a fire? The satire only works if you are deep into some left propaganda
Delete your account.
His names literally Kyle
Nice joke, but the flaw in any Kyle Rittenhouse joke is that you have to mention Kyle Rittenhouse. It's almost a sad little paradox.
Yeah that’s funny.
I came for the jokes, but everyone in the replies is angry and serious.
Popehat Kyle you shouldn’t have stopped at just one of us
Onion got TRIGGERED
Looks like all the dumbfucks came out of the woods for this post, eh?
💀
EeeUweee ! The Onion replies are getting serious here. What happened,y’all lose your sense of humor in a buttercup patch?
Smurf and man should be equal like the holy lord intended
Joe_M_Douglass Punk ass kid. He gets the electric chair.
The stories 'right' themselves nowadays...
Gordo40853407 His parents need to be held accountable.
Bullshit. He's one of many
Kyle is awesome, I hoped i'm picked for his jury. I'll vote to aquit.
dammit_not The sky’s not blue grass is not green milk is not white lemons aren’t sour candy isn’t sweet
Seething contempt doesn’t fly for funny. TheBabylonBee owns
everything better go back to normal when I wake up lmao...coz wtf?
....As far as I can hell. He was a peaceful protester by the modern definition.
It must be so hard to do good satire lately. Nicely done, Onion.
Murder or self defense?
Is this kid even old enough to legally possess the firearm he is carrying? Serious question.
You’re not even funny anymore
How can cops let a 17 yr old have that gun running around and not take it away
vernon_w_cisney perfect
they should own him just like how they try and tie rioters with BLM and all democrats
Who else thinks Rittenhouse threw a tantrum for his phone in jail?
If people in the comments that are arguing and complaining, don’t seem to understand that the onion is satire. How does one have the onion followed but not know that?
Y’all are trash and he is innocent.
tryin to intellectualize wht exactly is a blue life🤔 law enforcement is a occupation. ur to enforce the law & work within the scope of ur authority. Problem is guys get the job an they R enamored by the power, subsequently they start fires they can't put out
Lucky loser 'Kyle From A Rotten-house' was lucky he didn't lose his assault rifle and got a good pummeling.😉
This boy was trying to defend his freedom sorry these savages are trying to take his rights away. freekyle maga AllLivesMatter
Black Lives Matter Supporters Say All The Violence And Fire Not Reflective Of The Mostly Peaceful Protests
I love how people in the comments are getting pissed over an onion article. It's literally satire. Except I agree with this one
I see what you did there. 👍🏻
timeline of kyle shooting antifa & interviews 17 Year Old Shoots 3 Antifa Members, Killing 2 In Kenosha. WATCH:
A kid walking on the street normally with a machine gun in his hands! Is this for real! The wild Wild West at its worst! Don’t think a black kid would be alive if he did the same.
Ironically dunking on BLM protesters
Satire harms itself when it is political and has agenda.
kt_considine 🔥🔥🔥
Free Kyle Rittenhouse 🇺🇸 An American Patriot 🇺🇸
Solidarity_Star Absolute king shit.
FREE Kyle!
Haven't leftists spent the last 4 months demanding police arrest and lockup people for not wearing masks? No? My bad. You're right tho, we need to vote the republicans out of office in Minneapolis, Kenosha, Chicago, St Louis, Baltimore, et al for allowing this systemic failure
Free kyle
Lol tryna be the Babylon Bee I see
You’re damn right blue lives matter 😆
Lies!!! He's the gotdamn poster boy!!!
But-The Onion-this is less insane than WTF
I call BS on Blue Lives Matter. No one was born blue. Cops chose their profession. To compare cops to BLM shows just how racist and ignorant the people are who use that praise. Get an eff'n grip.

Onion I got one: Police Recruiters are Lining up with Job Offers for Kenosha Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse. 'By needlessly escalating the situation and then shooting unarmed civilians Kyle seems to have just the right skill set we look for in our police.'
What's the Gloves for
Thank you Onion, very cool.
That’s an absolute lie MOST BlueLivesMatter supporters think KyleRittenhouse is a good guy who stopped not one but two bad guys with his gun. He slowed down the third but I’m sure that guy will end up nw k jail like they always do LawEnforcement can’t PUBLICLY support Kyle 🇺🇸
Onion. I can't even enjoy you anymore. Too much insanity in truth makes your headlines moot. RIP until some normalcy returns.
aFriendlyStream AnnCoulter Gets Destroyed For Tweeting She Wants Accused Kenosha Double Murderer Kyle Rittenhouse 'As My President'
Most blue lives matter support him and want him to be a reflection of what all people should do in those circumstances.
whys he wearing latex gloves but no mask
Bellaj0713 If you wanted to be joking here ya would've needed to post it moments after it happened.
I’d give anything for the staff of the onion to live in a police state for a couple months. So they can see what it’s like. Everyone gets to LARP as a brave person these days.
Yep, got that vacant programed look again. 'Ma' Grandaddy, he was wid 'de Klan, and my Daddy, he was wid 'de Klan and heck, Ah ain't sure I know me nobody that ain't wid 'de Klan!'
. Completely True Chris Christie spoke on the record about it .
mr_njama
This isn't going to age well.
The Onion my ass. OP has the smell of salty tears.
This is how Trump's officers handle Wall Of Moms protestors
Probably a sleeper agent from the future, planted by Rittenhouse.
I still say the parents have a lot of responsibility here. The “kid” is 17 and armed? Where the hell were they? Arrest them for child neglect!
I guess the seething from leftists has to make up in entertainment for their lack of humor.
Still trying to figure out what he did wrong.
Not all police apologists are high school drop outs with criminal records.
Next time you are being beaten in the street i want you to call the cops that you so gracefully want defunded instead
bravo
