The deputy director of Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan's Community Initiative has been fired for posting memes appearing to support the teen arrested in the fatal shootings of two men in Kenosha.

Kyle Rittenhouse was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide in the Tuesday shooting, some of which was captured on cellphone video.

"We fully support the immediate actions taken by Director McAdams to address this matter," Churchill said in a statement.Kyle Rittenhouse, center, with cap on backwards, walks along Sheridan Road in Kenosha, Wis., Aug. 25, 2020, with another armed civilian. On Aug. 27, prosecutors charged Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old from Illinois, in the fatal shooting of two protesters and the wounding of a third in Kenosha.

at Tuesday's Kenosha protest, along with the caption,"When you get 2nd place in Wisconsins [sic] Annual Quick Draw Competition." Asked if Love was attempting to support Rittenhouse by posting the memes, Collins told ABC News,"What Mr. Love was trying to do is support the concept that there are always two sides to a story, and that unfortunately in today's culture and heightened political environment, folks are very quick to cast judgment."

"The guy spent six years in public service under this administration alone," Collins said."He's essentially dedicated his life to public service, particularly community initiatives, not just here in Maryland but around the country. So there are a number of folks who are pretty disappointed at what we feel is a hastened dismissal."Collins said Love did not receive any sort of opportunity to explain himself before he was fired.

Why the fuck is this in memes

Where were his parents ? Are they involved in the militia? Where did he get the gun? He illegally possessed it. He then travel over state lines to be involved in radical behavior and killed two people and injured one other. Where were the police? They let him walk out.

Whatever happened to serving the public (everyone) if you are an official of the government?

This will be a fun violation of 1A rights lawsuit to watching.

MsNaturallyGorg Because he is a Devil

Banana republic

This teen should have stayed at home in his own state. He got what he came for......TROUBLE.

Bye Bye

JoAnnDwyer5 if you support this terrorist you're a thug and anti american.

Oh FFS 😒

I'm totally speechless

Put a damn Nazi 17 yo on the streets in a volatile situation wit an assault rifle. Our obsession with guns is going to destroy America as we one knew it...

Falsely calling the attackers “protesters” while refusing to report on the riots and destruction they were actually doing there is yet more proof that FakeNews is not only dishonest, but more than ever the EnemyOfThePeople. But keep pretending we can’t see the truth. 🤣🖕

The kid is a hero. He'll be hailed a hero by the global people not just American's.

Clearly the police are working with right wing extremists. Nothing new but CAMERAS ARE EVERYWHERE!

That kid has more balls than some Democrats

The GOP believes everyone else is disposable. Why else would they support a president who is encouraging Americans to be killed? He does not care if they die from Covid or bullets. People are dying every day and instead of doing something about it, he golfs.

. Remember, Biden's dementia will be exposed in his debate on TV with Trump. . So, don't send out your ballots until after the debate, to avoid making a big fool of yourself. ..

Unbelievable

Pedophile Lives Don’t Matter! DEATHPENALTY

To be that sure of oneself that after 3.5 years, you would still shit post and think you would get away with it- disgusting

In Trump’s America, conservatives cheer on active shooters and murderers

Hopefully its actually fired... (No Pay or relocation to another department etc)

Thank you GovLarryHogan for being a republican with decency!

The mobs are judges now

Was Self defense. They were chasing him and one of the guys he shot had a gun pointed at him. Left say it is only self defense if joeBiden Antifa looters and thugs shoots someone.

Sad. Kids a hero. Glad people are willing to sacrifice their job for him. Never denounce. Never back down. These people want you to let yourself get beaten and killed in the streets and if you fight back they will make an example out of you BidenRiots TrumpViolence

...very fine people.

There is John Wick and then there is Kyle.

If you're a public official, and you post memes supporting a person charged with a crime, you should know that this matter belongs in the courts, and you should be fired for trying to influence public opinion.🇨🇦

Good

Well it all depends on what the Community Initiative was......maybe it was how to get underage kids on the front lines shooting protestors

A political hit job. The left hates Americans.

This is America. Every. Single. Day. The victims had families that love and grieve them. HRC was right. They are DESPICABLE.

If you’re looking for an example of what ‘systemic’ means...... this 👆🏽. ‘Thought Police’ you say? A man’s mind will show where his heart lies.

Kenosha MAGA Shooter appeared in front row at Dotard's fascist rally in January. MAGA Shooter is obsessed with radical ReichWing vigilante group & he traveled from Illinois to Wisconsin. 👇

Why are kids with machine guns wandering through our streets?! SCOTUSblog Scotus

The trumpets are trying to take this horrific situation and twist it to benefit trumps agenda. They are instigating something that could turn this country into a storm of turmoil

Here is he punching a girl! Not sure why anyone would stick up for this double murdering pile of 💩

oh the horror! did he post memes proving kyle acted in self defense? truth is vilified. FreeKyleRittennhouse

The fake mainstream media would love to destroy the teen involved in the shooting because it was violent rioters w/criminal records who were shot. The incident is being investigated, but facts don't matter to the mainstream fake journalists.

Murder should never be glorified no matter what. No one wins in this we are not at war. lives are gone forever lives are destroyed forever wtf is wrong with people. Freaking zombies really.

But if he posted a meme praising a criminal who violated a restraining order, sexually assaulted a woman, then stole her car he would have gotten promoted.

Cancel cult & removing people who do not bow to the 'silent ones' is really getting out of hand. Next thing you know 'fake' news will start removing conservatives who do not play 'follow the leader'.

Media out to get Hogan after he stated he wants schools open. A deputy director shared memes? Whoop-de-do

There’s no heroism in the Rittenhouse story. It’s just a story of common law self defense. Idiots, take a basic Civics class.

........ that IS BULLSHIT!

Maryland gov being sued after wrongful termination based on political bias of extremist leftist entity.

Folks, right or left, two men are dead and their families are grieving, and there hasn't been a trial, and nobody knows why the first guy died. Celebrating this kid is wrong, no matter how you slice it. Just wrong.

GovLarryHogan GUESS YA CANT SPEAK THE TRUTH - RHINO

The mainstream media is complicit in this destruction. They wanted it so they could blame it on Trump. They're lying propagandists. Corrupt to the core. Their karma will come for them just as surely as it will for the insurrectionists. America won't be destroyed so easily.

Jacob Blake No Longer Handcuffed To Hospital Bed: AttorneyThe Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office initially said all hospitalized patients in police custody are restrained unless undergoing medical procedures. It's interesting that t same outrage isn't shown when pregnant women are shackled. They are usually full term. Let me tell you, they're not running anywhere and certainly not when having contractions. He was a known violent offender who had just attacked 2 police officers. Keep him restrained, to protect the community, the hospital staff, and to ensure the degenerate multi-time loser doesn't try to escape justice for his many crimes (rape, domestic abuse, assaulting cops, etc)
