Kyle Rittenhouse Now Selling Disgusting Products to Help the Mass Shooters of Tomorrow

By

We all know Kyle Rittenhouse is a dirtbag, but right now, he’s a dirtbag who needs money. So he’s reaching out to his fellow dirtbags on social media where he’s hawking a full body armor kit and bundled package that’s been named after him, Newsweek reports. Rittenhouse, now 21, gained notoriety at age 17, in August 2020 after he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Black Lives Matter protest where the shootings occurred was held after Jacob Blake, a Black man, was shot by a white police officer. The shooting left Blake paralyzed from the waist down.

At the time Rittenhouse who used a semi-automatic AR-15-style rifle, claimed the shootings were in self-defense. Even though he didn’t need to be there in the first place. And even though the weapon was purchased for him by a friend, something that was illegal at the time because Rittenhouse was underage.

Rittenhouse was acquitted at the conclusion of his trial in November 2021 on charges of first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. He later said he supported the BLM movement and said he was at the demonstration to “protect businesses and provide medical assistance.” But he provided the opposite of medical assistance when he killed Rosenbaum and Huber, acquittal or not.

Rittenhouse, whose autobiographical book, Acquitted, which bombed on Kindle, is now promoting The Rittenhouse Bundle from Armored Republic. The Arizona-based company reports that Rittenhouse designed the package, which includes a Testudo Gen 3 armor vest, ceramic body armor, a multi-caliber rifle magazine triple pouch, trauma pads, and a hydration pouch. The bundle ships in two weeks and is currently selling for $999, down from the regular price of $1,221.

The video posted on Armored Republic’s website and YouTube features Rittenhouse who says the package is a “very practical kit, including everything that you need, all the way from hydration to first aid to general purpose to magazine holders.”

And who exactly would need body armor? Body armor isn’t needed when hunting, deer don’t carry and shoot back. Body armor isn’t needed for the home. Body armor is needed when you plan on shooting someone and want to protect yourself from being shot back.

Body armor is expensive, and it’s rarely used by typical criminals. Body armor is used more often by ideologically inspired shooters and shooters that meticulously plan their attacks, like Payton Gendron who shot and killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo. Or Salvador Ramos, who shot and killed NINETEEN students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, injuring 17 more.

Body armor is designed to protect the wearer from injury. Although it is generally accessible to the civilian public, the vast majority of body armor is purchased for use by military, law enforcement and security organizations. But Kyle Rittenhouse is selling it, and in a package deal.

Being the huckster that he is, Rittenhouse is also promoting the package on X, writing: “Get your Rittenhouse always ready bundle today!”

Promoting the package on X, formerly Twitter, Rittenhouse wrote: “Get your Rittenhouse always ready bundle today!”

So far, Rittenhouse’s post has garnered more than 740,000 views.

Of course, this means that when the next James Holmes decides to shoot up a theater full of innocent people, he’ll be well covered if he orders this bargain, now won’t he? You may remember Holmes is the shooter who killed 12 people in a theater in Aurora, Colorado, in July 2012. He was wearing body armor at the time.

Rittenhouse is disgusting but he’s also broke, according to his lawyer, who says he’s lost all of his money since being acquitted in the shootings.

His attorney, Mark Richards, who represented him during the trial, told Court TV:

“He is working, he is trying to support himself. Everybody thinks that Kyle got so much money from this. Whatever money he did get is gone.”

“He’s living, I don’t want to say paycheck to paycheck, but he’s living to support himself. Obviously, as his lawyer and somebody who I want to do well, I hope he does reengage in his studies,” Richards said. But right now he is working full-time, he is living a law-abiding life and he is doing something that he enjoys.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Rittenhouse has gone begging. He used an appearance on Fox News to request donations for his legal funds. Now he’s facing lawsuits from Grosskreutz and from the father of one of the two men he killed. Rittenhouse denies any wrongdoing.

While he may deny any wrongdoing, the fact is, that two men are dead because he traveled across state lines and used the aforementioned rifle to kill them. Maybe Rittenhouse was trying to help, but all he did was create great harm.

And of course, while Rittenhouse has his idiot supporters on X, who posted things like:
