Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after he was bitten by a venomous spider, the noted firearms enthusiast said Wednesday.
Rittenhouse, 23, told his 100,000 followers on X that he fell victim to a brown recluse, posting pictures of himself in a hospital bed strapped to monitors with one close-up shot of the bite mark.
Others came at him with body-shaming ridicule and the shirtless, stout Rittenhouse didn’t appear to respond to those online attacks.
The 23-year-old became a household name in late summer 2020 after he fatally shot two men and wounded a third during civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse, then a 17-year-old resident of Antioch, Illinois, came to Kenosha with an AR-15-style rifle and first aid supplies, saying he was there to protect property and render any medical care.
Rittenhouse became an overnight folk hero to gun rights advocates and he’s leaned into that fame.
He’s now chief firearms instructor and director of partnerships for Texas Gun Rights, which bills itself as the “largest no-compromise gun rights organization in” the Lone Star state.
Redditors to this day still push the narrative that Kyle opened fired on a crowd of black people. If you bring up the fact none of this "victims" were blacks they downvote and report you.
I got bit on the foot as a kid by one of those. Didn't go to the doctor until a couple of weeks in and I was sent home with some sorta sulfur medicine. I wonder why he needed a hospital stay for it.
Looks like a bite on his lower leg. Major Veins and Arteries are close to the skin in that area, which means the toxin could enter the blood stream and not remain localized. Its probably precautionary, but the doctors need to make sure his Kidneys, Liver or Heart dont suddenly start necrotizing.
For you, since you told them the bite happened "weeks ago" the issue was just localized flesh injury and you needed medication to prevent necrosis.
I love the barely concealed cope all over this seethe piece. The "gunman who opened fire", "gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin" etc etc. Dilate harder, fucking zipperhead prick. Your network is dying.
I like Kyle Rittenhouse but he's getting to that point where he looks like a paedophile and the paedophile's victim at the same time.
Or maybe it's that he looks like somebody's Aunt who is transitioning into a pooner. He has pooner beard and chubby girl face.
Either way I wish him a speedy recovery.
What an insane way to phrase "was attacked by 3 separate rioting Antifags, who all turned out to have priors for weapons charges, choking women, or raping 9 year old boys"
(Grosskreutz, Huber, and Rosenbaum, respectively)
Open fire at a Trump rally and you'll hit a fireman and loving father.
Open fire on a crowd of lefties and you'll hit a paedophile, a woman beater and a felon in possession of a firearm.
All this story serves to do is give the vultures on social media something to circle around, waiting for him to die, like they do with everyone they don't like.
Reminder that not only were Kyle's '''''victims''''' that fateful night in Kenosha a pedo, a wifebeater & a burglar, but he nailed them in the most poetic spots: he shot the child rapist Rosenbaum in the dick & pelvis, the wifebeater Huber through his heart, and the burglar Grosskreutz in his arm. Now that's true divinely guided justice right there. With that record I'd bet the spider did some fucked up shit worthy of death before it bit Rittenhouse too.
To this day it still makes me laugh that Kyle Rittenhouse shot two leftists and one of them was a literal child molester and the other was a wife beater.
Three, he shot three. don't forget the bugler getting his bicep turned into his bye cep.
All were poetic in the shots. The Chomo he shot in the groin and head, the wife beater he shot in the heart, and the thief he shot in the arm. And the fourth black jump kick man he shot near and spooked em, never to be heard from again.

Most of their bites on humans are “dry” or low venom content. You only get fucked up like this if it gives you the full whammy. Same thing with snakes can happen.
I forgot this guy even existed, tbh. Based retard. I’m glad the journos decided this was newsworthy so I could reminisce on a fat white kid killing a chomo during nigger season
Without the neckbeard he has the european version of the kim jong un phenotype.
Sometimes I imagine another universe with his smiling visage adorning the wall of every American home and bowing before a giant bronze statue of himself welcoming us to DC.
