We're not sure why Dad to the Bone decided to give us this quick reminder on August 16, 2026, but here it is. MAGA celebrated Kyle Rittenhouse when he showed up at a mostly peaceful protest and shot and killed white rioters who were trying to kill him and had a handgun to his head. Meanwhile, MAGA condemned Alex Pretti, who showed up at a mostly peaceful protest and was shot and killed by an ICE agent.
A quick reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this, shot and killed others and was celebrated by MAGA. Meanwhile Alex Pretti showed up to a protest like this, was shot and killed, then condemed by MAGA. Please stop saying this isn’t political. pic.twitter.com/Zu7E4v0yP1

One of these things is not like the other, but thanks for the reminder, we guess.
Because Kyle was attacked by a pedo, a wife beater and a felon with a gun.

Alex went to protest law enforcement removing illegal criminal invaders, fought with said law enforcement and got shot.
They are not the same in any way.
This is how Rittenhouse approached the cops.

I wonder why they didn't shoot him... pic.twitter.com/XvlCkwTcyw
One shot rapists who were trying to kill him, the other was brawling with cops in an attempt to protect rapists.

It should only sound political to you if rape is part of your politics.
You neglect to mention that Rittenhouse shot no one who was not in the act of trying to kill him at the time.

You are comparing a man that acted in self defense to a bunch of rioting degenerates to a dumbass that was trying to stop a government agency from arresting criminals. It’s almost like we don’t like criminals?

Kyle didn’t fight with cops.

Kyle didn’t show up at a protest, he was there to protect property and then was attacked by protesters. Pretti was there to subvert law enforcment, they are not the same. One got the FAFO award and one gave the FAFO award 😁

Kyle didn't stalk and harass police. He shot and killed pedos in self defense. Alex attacked police with a weapon and resisted arrest aka death by cop.

Kyle was arrested, didn't resist and was acquitted at trial. Conflating the 2 doesn't work.
One of them fought the law and lost. The other did not fight the law and won.

KR was attacked, he acted in self defense. Pretti engaged officers while armed. They are unrelated, two different sets of facts. You are welcome to argue agents overreacted to Pretti, but KR has nothing to do with it.

Are you really that bad at context?

Kyle Rittenhouse volunteered to protect a local business from rioters. He was attacked and defended himself. Alex Pretti should not have died that day. Both things are true. I'm not sure why this is so difficult.

This quick reminder was a non sequitur and completely unnecessary. We all know what went down.
