I politely, but vehemently, disagree with you all.
There was no need for Black Rifle to issue this statement. The ostensible neutrality claim means nothing. Everyone only sees the innuendo in their statement, which clearly distances the company from Kyle Rittenhouse.
Although I personally don't waste money on hipster coffee profiting from pro-veteran virtue signalling, I know several people who do buy Black Rifle coffee. I will definitely point this out to them. We'll see what they think.
The OP certainly takes nothing out of context, by linking directly to the Black Rifle website. So I dispute that criticism as well.
I also don't care about the age of one's account, as many people on here routinely cycle through screen names for anonymity's sake. Sometimes people create accounts just to leak something. For all we know, these could be pissed off Black Rifle employees.
Again, I downvoted no one here, but I completely disagree.
They suppose to have a closeness to 2A but bail when someone uses it for self defense.
They didn’t just not get involved they are actively caving to cancel culture by pulling their sponsorship of the blaze tv podcast that posted the picture of Kyle.
Truthfully, I basically never get into vicious arguments with people here, because I have inherent respect for anyone on this forum. And I will believe you're not a shill. I'm not a shill.
I merely came on TD this morning, saw this thread, learned the story right then and there, and found the Black Rifle statement annoying and hypocritical.
I'm just surprised so many people are defending the company.
I also hate cancel culture BS, and I'm not calling for a boycott. I simply believe they made a mistake with their statement, and likely pissed off some fans.
In terms of public relations strategy, all Black Rifle had to do was nothing. No genuine movement against the company existed. Instead, they went on the record against Kyle Rittenhouse, when no one even thought he was a concern to the company. The optics are bad.

You mean someone they had no closeness with to begin with? That seems peefectly reasonable.
I see you followed that link in from twitter.
Can't turn your back on someone you were never partnered with in the first place. The extra shilling for leftist cancel culture isn't helping either.
Do you happen to write for any particular news agency? Your shit's straight out of a journalism playbook.

Black -You Can't Own That- Coffee Company.
The only one shilling is you, rather blatantly white-knighting for a coffee company as if it's your identity.
You should spend some time on ConsumeProduct.win
It's interesting you're accusing me of being a leftist, because I'm disappointed with yet another presumably based company caving to leftists.
Well, after the whole cancel culture thing, the repeated shilling, and the lot of oranges I've seen this moring?
Yeah, I'm seeing a forced narrative, especially with that one guy following me around whining at me.
If his propaganda was effective he wouldn't need to shill so hard.
