Patton Oswalt's response to the NYT RE: Kyle Rittenhouse...

[demmiblue]

Charles Manson, who loved dune buggies and idolized The Beatles, arrived in Los Angeles with dreams of recording success. A thwarted record deal and an address mix-up led to him expressing his grievances in a way that many have issues with.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who has idolized law enforcement since he was young, arrived in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020, with at least one mission: to play the role of police officer and medic. The night would end with him fatally shooting two men and wounding another. https://nyti.ms/3H7spOl

1. Gotta love Patton Oswald. He goes right to the point.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. Actually that's arguably the exact opposite of 'going right to the point' :)

But I like that about him as well ... delivers a perfect analogy.

33. Are you kidding? I've never seen someone sign up to DU and immediately accuse others of being

or defending pedophilia--especially in discussing a post where the issue isn't even encountered. Is this a Q-related thing?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

35. That was one weird link. NT

[hlthe2b]

36. Ironic that I even saw the post, given how early it is out here (MT), but I just sat down to coffee

before my pre-dawn "hike" with the pup.

Yuck...

[hlthe2b]

39. Back again, newly registered to accuse Duers of pedophilia and defending pedophilia.

Is this a Q challenge?

BTW, DU has something called MIRT that will track this thread (even though it is early on Saturday) to see every time you reregister to do this kind of thing. You really are wasting your time and should go elsewhere.

3. Simultaneously scathing and funny

is the Patton Oswalt way.

4. K&R

6. Hey..

[Scurrilous]

7. Hey Cha!

[Cha]

9. I had to look

twice!

Scurrilous

5. Yes, Rittenhouse was just another killer posing as a good Samaritan.

He had every intention of hurting people that night, however, not helping. He was there to hunt, not heal.

12. What kind of medical aid can you do with an assault rifle?

[Haggard Celine]

15. I guess he wanted to do some 'mercy killings.'

If we take him at his word, it's hard to come up with anything else, huh? The DA should ask him if he was there to put people out of their misery. His reaction would be revealing, I think.

[alfredo]

28. I hope the judge doesn't influence the jury to acquit

[SergeStorms]

25. He was carrying a medical bag as well.

You know, a basic first-aid kit.

A first-aid kit will do nothing to repair or stop the bleeding from a wound caused from assault-type weapon wounds. They tear tissue and explode bone to an exponentially worse degree than a standard hand gun round. I'm sure he knew that too.

[Captain Zero]

30. The medical bag was to sell the trip to mom.

She's an even bigger idiot than he is.
But honestly, he is probably a scary kid to have around the house.

8. Check out New York Times Pitchbot for scathing takes

10. Oh JHC!! As Always

Fuck Off FUBARED NYT.

Stupid Asshole Age Card

[maxsolomon]

14. That's a parody account.

But you knew that. Right?

[Escurumbele]

21. I did not know it was parody, but then again it could be something that Brooks would say.

Thank you for making it clear.

[geardaddy]

22. I didn't know that.

It's hilarious that they attributed it to David Brooks. I can't stand that guy.

[nilram]

11. He was a good guy with a gun, and then it all went wrong

I love the pitchbot.

[alfredo]

29. That would put him in the 30 to 40 age group.

Let's see how he can relate to a 17 year old.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

37. I should send this one to my brother:

In this Ohio diner, Hume still means Brit, not David. But they do know this: critical race theory began as a response to — and rejection of — the principles of the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason on which the American republic was founded.

13. Sick burn, Patton Oswalt, but I don't see the bias you do.

There's nothing in that sentence that isn't a fact, and it's not editorial. That's the ideal NYT style.

The article itself gives facts and context and nuance. Sorry it's not a tweet claiming his mom bought him the gun or something when she didn't.

[demmiblue]

17. You're obvious.

Enjoy your time here!

[demmiblue]

19. Lol!

[yankeepants]

20. Just cancelled my subscription. Long overdue.

[Paladin]

23. I'm probably going to do the same, before too long.

If I want a daily dose of shit being dumped on Biden, I can get it for free on Politico. No sense in paying for it on the NYT.

[maxsolomon]

26. Over that sentence?

Gotta be more than just that, right?

Is it the "objective" style of national political reporting? the asshats on the editorial page? maybe it's the style section?

[Wild blueberry]

24. Perfection!

Thank you.

[dlk]

27. If the analogy fits...

31. Who wrote this crap at nyt 😳
