I hope the spider’s ok
The spider should be given another chance.
Any Go fund me for the poor spider?
They should turn Go Fund Me into a cage match or something. Let people donate against the cause and whicher group wins gets to pick where the money goes. The against group would have to pick a charity.
Thoughts and prayers for a fast recovery. Must have been traumatizing biting a massive anal polyp.
The spider but into a massive piece of shit. It needs time to get the taste out of its chelicerae.
The spider was acting in self defense. Except actually and for real.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person
How on earth has this nothing of a person become like… celebrity gossip?
Wild that anyone other than maybe his family knows or cares he got a spider bite or that he’s in the hospital.
The GQP can turn any little turd into a grifter, can’t they?
He is a double murderer who cross state lines with an illegally obtained firearm and then got off because racism is second only to capital in the hierarchy of the US and he's the right color.
It's pretty easy to see why 'news' agencies would love to promote him, people will always click, either out of concern or schadenfreude
This point self defense isn't about being in the right, it's about being whose left and white.
The claim was the firearm was already in Wisconsin, no carrying over state lines necessary. As for the rest, I don’t think that state had any laws on the books re that firearm, wth open carry, iirc. After that it comes down to a court deciding whether or not the shooting was just, which was up to 12 people who were not us.
Remember, every state has different gun laws, some of which have none, only leaning back on 2A as their one regulation.
Regardless of the shooting circumstances, what kind of person do you have to be to allow yourself to be paraded around like this? Says something about his general mentality and implies sordid things about the shooting itself.
How on earth has this nothing of a person become like… celebrity gossip?
Ask OP why they posted it, or anyone who up voted why they did...
This is capitalism, hate views count the same as any other.
He even looks like a bully’s sycophantic follower trying to be cool.
He learned what most people try not to learn in life, that he can kill a man, while LARPing, and this is how he’s dealing with it.
The fact this is newsworthy is just sad.
If America as a whole was a single person I would think they were mentally ill and a psychopath. I don't mean like mentally ill because they are a psychopath...
Can't make this shit up haha. Hope the piece of shit dies lmao.
You’re absolutely wrong about him! He’s a PILE of shit, not a piece.
It's not nice to call spiders "pieces of shit" 🕷️🥺/s
Is the venomous spider ok?
Damn communist spider
-Kyle Rittenhouse?
This news is weeks old.
spider just wanted a little roach meal
God's spider
What a wuss.
brown recluse
Fuck this dude and all, but if you get bitten by one of those, you best jam to the hospital.
I hope he takes his sweet fucking time getting there.
I've known a person or two who have been bitten by brown recluses, and both had a big scar where they were bitten.
Oh yes that is the best practice. He’s still a flappy wuss though
Also, hospitals don't hospitalize just because a patient is a "wuss". Like going to the ER for a brown recluse bite is not a wuss move; it's just common sense.
The story is three weeks old now, so I can't throw out the "hope it kills 'im" bit, but it's obvious going to the ER was the correct move given he was hospitalized.
I mean yes you do need hospitalization for debriding but unless you're bit directly on an artery you've got a few days. The big danger in Brown Recluse venom is the necrosis around the site burrowing down, causing secondary infections. For most people with health immune systems you've got days before it's more than a nasty black spot with moderate pain and intense itching around it.
Most people don't realize they're bit until a few days later when the mysterious bruise turns black in the middle.
Hope it bit his cock.
Too small to get a fang into
Couldn't have happened to a bigger cunt
Please don’t insult cunts!
Did Kyle cross state lines to intimidate that spider?
Misleading headline: Rittenhouse is the venomous spider and he accidentally bit himself whilst licking his own butt
I gotta admit, I didn’t have “Kyle Rittenhouse hospitalized following bite from venomous spider” on my 2026 Bingo card. Lack of imagination, I guess.
NBC “news” everyone. Jesus, everything about this is just a big fuckin’ dumpster. It would be better if the dumpster was on fire because then at least it might be entertaining.
Let's all hope for a positive outcome.
I wonder if rfk loser I mean junior saw it on the ground picked it up juggled it with some snakes for a bit and then threw it at Kyle? Either way, I hope the spider is doing okay.
Does he have to be?
HA
