I feel that DU is rife with Sock Puppets who come here in bad faith, trying to provoke, trying to drive extreme opinions and sow discord. Some have relatively high post counts.
In the specific case of Wendy Rittenhouse, that was the initial lie that got around the world before the truth got its pants on. So most of these comments may be typical DU kneejerk reactions made out of ignorance. I hope so.
The truth is just as bad: he used his Pandemic Relief check to straw purchase an MSSA and Dominic Black's stepdad stored it for them. Then Stepdad took it out of his gun safe so it would be handy because of the riots and looting. That's how Rittenhouse got it that night.
