Florida music festival loses headliner after announcing Kyle Rittenhouse as guest
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/florida-music-festival-loses-headliner-announcing-kyle-rittenhouse-guest/3565423/?os=av&ref=app

Following the announcement of Rittenhouse as a guest, the festival's headliner, Evergreen Terrace, announced in a statement on social media that they were pulling out of the festival.

"Evergreen Terrace has always supported and continues to support philanthropic events for veterans, PTSD awareness, child poverty, and many more, but we will not align with an event promoting a perceived murderer such as Kyle Rittenhouse capitalizing off of their pseudo celebrity. Unfortunately we did not do our due diligence with this particular event. Even after they offered to pull Kyle from the event, we discovered several associated entities that we simply do not agree with. As advocates for free speech we are respectfully canceling the Shell Shock festival. We will be personally contributing to a veterans charity and urge you to do the same. The promoters have been nothing less than understanding," the statement said in part.

Evergreen Terrace announced in a Facebook post Thursday that the group is organizing a show with other bands that dropped out of Shell Shock, adding that proceeds would benefit "an associated veterans organization."

Perceived murderer? He shot people in self defense. A jury of his peers decided. It never should've been brought to trial.

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

Yes, you say self defense. But the prosecutor said otherwise. The jury said not guilty

[–] CraigC (8160) 4 days ago

The court said self defense. The jury decided it was self defense. The prosecutor was an idiot doing it for political reasons. When the murder chargers failed they tried to pin a bogus NFA charge on him. Also failed.

It should've NEVER been brought to trial.

You're a retard for clinging to the failed narrative.

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

What narrative? I was talking about people who do not want to be associated with Rittenhouse.

It is still a free country. No one has to be forced to associate with that pudgy little brat.

Who cares if some far left retards don't want to associate with him though? Is this threadworthy?

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

I get that you don't care that some people don't want to associate with Rittenhouse. You just wanted to make the conversation about the Rittenhouse trial because you were unable to figure out how to create your own thread in which to discuss it, so you decided to derail this discussion. Did I accurately assess your intelligence?

Seeing as how about 11% of the posts in this thread are yours, you must think it is threadworthy.

[–] CraigC (8160) 3 days ago

The failed narrative that it wasn't self defense, dipshit.

[–] Ranb (9595) 2 days ago

I made no claims about the verdict other than one was reached. Why are you trying to insert a narrative into this conversation and telling me that I failed?

[–] CraigC (8160) a day ago

You quoted "perceived murderer", dumbass. Not me.

[–] Ranb (9595) 17 hours ago

I quoted an article, does not mean I believe it. It was the reason why someone decided to take certain actions. Don't be so gullible.

Yes, you say self defense. But the prosecutor said otherwise. The jury said not guilty

That's the way the system works in this country, asshole.

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

Why am I an asshole for saying that is the way the system works? Do you call everyone you agree with, an asshole?

[–] strntz (12224) 4 days ago

He shot people in self defense.

While you are being grammatically generous, I'd like to think he shot pieces of garbage in defense.

[–] CraigC (8160) 3 days ago

True, actual garbage this time. Maybe less than, by definition, garbage was once useful.

[–] strntz (12224) 4 days ago

Pretty smart on their part - any publicity is good publicity, particularly for a band very few people know - even if they are protesting an American hero.

But really, that's got to be some kind of crappy festival if their headliner is a band no one has ever heard of.

[–] liscarkat (18367) 4 days ago

When the "headliner" is some band only their moms and friends have ever heard of, it's really not much of a festival.

Rittenhouse only defended himself against assailants who were trying to kill him. Anybody who doesn't know that is too low-information to deserve an opinion. Anybody who does know it and is still against him is evil.

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

So? Rittenhouse just seems to be an immature man-child and can't even keep his mind on who he is voting for. First he was for gun grabber Trump, then he flip flopped after getting some backlash.

[–] beancrisp (1625) 4 days ago

LEGAL FACT: He acted in self defense. Prove me wrong.

[–] Ranb (9595) 4 days ago

I'm not interested in disagreeing with the jury verdict. What made you think I was going to disagree with them? My feelings towards the little prick have nothing to do with the jury verdict.

[–] MCguy (1135) 2 days ago

You disagreed with the jury verdict in your first two posts.

[–] Ranb (9595) 2 days ago

Here are the words I typed in my first two posts.

None of those words had anything to do with me disagreeing with the jury verdict.

I was very clear to separate my statements from the statements of others.

I had no idea that Slipknot has a cover band. That’s the big news take-away for me!
