Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse pissed people off in the worst kind of way today after he apparently thought it would be a hilarious, fantastic idea to use a meme of himself breaking down in guilt-trippy crocodile tears during his recent murder trial to mock President Joe Biden over gas prices — which, spoiler alert, the president has absolutely nothing to do with, as millions of people apparently don’t understand.
As literally no one in this country (or the world, really) had forgotten, Kyle Rittenhouse was just very recently on trial for murder after he shot and killed two men at a racial protest rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the killings, was ultimately acquitted last year in the shooting deaths of the two men and the severe injury of a third while he was at an August 25th, 2020 protest that he had absolutely no business being at. The jury ruled that Kyle was acting in self-defense in the shootings, despite the fact that precisely zero of Rittenhouse’s victims were armed.
During his highly-publicized trial, Rittenhouse infamously turned on the dramatic waterworks, as he squeezed out a few extremely exaggerated tears while delivering his testimony and telling his side of the “story.”
Following his trial, and the notorious tears, NBA star LeBron James put out a tweet saying what we were all thinking as we watched the Kenosha killer put on a show in the courtroom. “What tears????? I didn’t see one! Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads [tart candy] before walking into court,” the basketball star wrote on social media.
Today, Rittenhouse had the gall to not only reference LeBron’s tweet but actually use a meme of his own fake tears in a social media post, in which he attempted to blast President Joe Biden of the recent increases in gas prices.

“No, it’s not Lemon Heads,” Kyle wrote, captioning the gif clip of his courtroom crybaby bit, this time edited to feature himself holding a gas pump nozzle. “It’s the burning hole in my pocket thanks to a Joe Biden presidency.”
He rounded the caption off with two laughing with tears emojis.

I’ll give you three guesses as to how the comments went down, but you really only need one:

Making a meme of that time you cried for sympathy in court after killing two people is not funny. https://t.co/fSqXFKUCFH

Just wondering why you’re not taking your gun and your first aid kit to Ukraine. There’s a lot of property there that needs defending from actual terrorists.

I hope you don’t delete this. This is good evidence for the prosecution in any upcoming civil suits you may find yourself in.
