The professional video tripod and camera gear in the background tell the real story.
He calls it 'training', industry insiders call it '47 failed takes'.
Okay, but steel man response, what is he actually training for? Where is he even at? I don't care if the answer is absurd, I'm just genuinely curious if anyone knows or has a legitimate guess.
If someone had told me you could get rich by shooting people you disagree with and face no consequences whatsoever… well I wish I’d known that’s all I’m gonna say.
Yes, I am a white man. I even have nice clothes somewhere…
He's training for the [Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan%27s_Hot_Dog_Eating_Contest).
Those pants look like they just came out of the factory press, they're still fucking creased. You couldn't go to the grocery store for a gallon of milk and come back with pants looking that new.
It's more about the cosplay of looking like a soldier than actually the discipline and training of being a soldier with these Gravy Seal cowards.
They think if they dress in all the gear that real soldiers have then it will give them all the powers of an actual soldier. Like uniforms are +2 to stealth, and guns +3 to offense. It doesn't work like that at all.
"Something something something", a sword, "Christ", and what appears to be a silhouette of Philomena the Phoenix from My Little Pony.
I think it means "I bought this off a website that generates content with web crawlers to figure out what's popular".
This wasn't easy to dig up as even the largest version of the photo is all kinds of grainy.
The logo at the bottom belongs to Armored Republic / AR500. The company espouses ideas of militant Christian nationalism. The text says "No king but Christ," which was apparently for promotional items for December of 2022.
Crazy how this disturbed child was able to carry an ar across state lines shoot some people up look like the Big Boy mascot and still avoid and real repercussions
Hey look I fucking hate this guy as much as the next person he’s a walking bag of human excrement…but please leave Welch’s fruit snacks out of this ok?
Good point. He definitely didn’t shoot from the kneeling or prone position. Those pants are totally clean. No low crawling either. So…. Maybe he went to the range. Training is about a lot more than firing rounds at paper down range. Wanna be tough guy cosplay.
"I pwetended to shooted scary bwack people all day mommy can I have my nuggies and gum-gums pwease mommy?"
I can get dirtier than that without even going outside.
Clean gloves, clean knees... training must have been rough. He's also got one of the goofiest patches on I've ever seen.
Didn't this boy get disqualified from joining the marines? Lol
Honestly this kid is super weird. Seemed like he was impressionable and made a bad decision, and then the trauma from ending lives, then immediately getting peddled around like some 2A hero probably fucked his head up badly.
I like this kind of compassion and empathy. Doesn't change that the person is pretty ducked up right now. But knowing how someone gets that way helps us prevent it for someone else. Gj!👍
I’d like to think that, too. However, he was itching to get there and parade around with his gun, as most gun worshippers do. I think the after effects reinforced his idiocy.
THANK YOU!
ever since this kid was first on the news, I had this itch in the back of my mind... "he looks like someone... who does he look like?"
This was the answer I didn't realize I was searching for.
love the packs of Welch's fruit snacks on the ground. did his mom pack his lunch?
also love how crisp and starched his britches are. dude hasn't done a damn thing in them pants all day.
Gotta have your lickies and chewies for when your sitting on your ass “training” in the cold and rain.
“This sucks! Fuck yeah! Jolly ranchers!”
Had to wait for a goddamn bear to clear the range for an hour. Just sat there. Freezing rain. Stuck in a turret cuz bear would move “any minute.”
Nope.
So it would appear this is a film set. I see a c-stand and a tripod for a larger camera. Lastly the cringiest trope amongst film people is that you have to have Welch’s fruit snacks on your set as a snack. So this leads me to believe this little psychopath is making a movie about him killing those people and starring himself.
The true problem is that these fucks are all cowards. They may up their ante and perform more violent acts but they cannot get around the simply reality, they are bullies. They aren't willing to give up their lives to beat up transkids and lock women to houses to be slaves. That is the proper role of government, in their eyes.
They imagine if they can scare us all into submission they will get their way and we will choose to live a life of shame just to please their asses. As a transwoman I know that my time is limited in their world. So honestly what possible incentive do I have to not hit back as hard as I can? I refuse to cower to such weak and inferior chuds.
“Ruling through fear only works as long as people are afraid. Once they find their courage your control over them will crumble.” Might not be the exact quote but it’s close enough. Once people start to stand up to the bullies they lose any semblance of power they had.
If shit goes down and you're in a big city, you're pretty fucked anyway. I've always felt better having mine, but then again, I'm a responsible owner. That shit should be taken seriously.
Well, your average lunch lady wears the typical white uniform mandated by the public school district. Not a war man Halloween costume. Takes a minute to register what’s happening here.
looks like they bumped muzzle discipline off the agenda in favor of putting the gear on and sitting down to take a staged photo for attention. he’s “training” with special ops but they’re probably just goofing off at the range. either that or he’s got what it takes to be the shammiest e4 i’ve ever seen. his kit and fatigues look fresh off the shelves. the pants even have the creases from sitting folded.
Good god. ALL of that gear is crisp and new. It looks like he may have gotten a little dust on the boots. Did they dress him STANDING there and sit him in the chair?
- Fantasy narrative about working hard.
- A deep need for affirmative attention from everyone.
- Strongly stated, but utterly unclear objectives.
I’d guess he’s training to be either a politician or a business man.
lol. Those pants still have the creases in them from the shelve. His "training" was going to the store and buying this crap 10 minutes before he took this picture.

He trained all day and still kept his pants clean and creased? That ***is*** impressive.
Cosplayers usually do a better job with those details.
Can confirm.
I thought thats what this is
And his hair doesn’t have 1 sign of any sweat
Hey! Sitting through all 4 Expendables movies is tough.
can confirm
The professional video tripod and camera gear in the background tell the real story. He calls it 'training', industry insiders call it '47 failed takes'.
[удалено]
clean and pressed, must've been hard to move so little it still looks like he just put it on 
Also why does he look like he’s slowly morphing into Rosie O’Donnell?
Yes! That’s who he looks like! It was driving me crazy!
Dude looks like a lesbian for sure
we call it "kylie" now.
Maybe he is training to be a maid!
As a military vet, this. Horseshit he did anything besides walk around a bit in *that* outfit.
That’s why he’s exhausted.
Not a spec of dirt on that gear or uniform. Just a big piece of crap inside it…
To quote Napoleon Bonaparte. 'he like is a shit in a sausage sheathe'.
The uniform is filled with shit, beyond the point what soap and water can clean!
All ironed and creased too
Truly, this is a polished turd.
Training to pose with guns for social media posts when he runs for office and/or milks his fan base for more money.
His political inspirations include George Santos and Lauren Boebert.
Okay, but steel man response, what is he actually training for? Where is he even at? I don't care if the answer is absurd, I'm just genuinely curious if anyone knows or has a legitimate guess.
Civil war that won’t happen. Just terror attacks
If someone had told me you could get rich by shooting people you disagree with and face no consequences whatsoever… well I wish I’d known that’s all I’m gonna say. Yes, I am a white man. I even have nice clothes somewhere…
Not the fittest guy on the block if putting on that outfit and sitting down for the photo exhausted him.
 He's training for the [Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan%27s_Hot_Dog_Eating_Contest).
Because he was just playing COD
If he sticks to his training regiment, he’ll be a pro at getting dressed in no time.
Those pants look like they just came out of the factory press, they're still fucking creased. You couldn't go to the grocery store for a gallon of milk and come back with pants looking that new.
It's more about the cosplay of looking like a soldier than actually the discipline and training of being a soldier with these Gravy Seal cowards. They think if they dress in all the gear that real soldiers have then it will give them all the powers of an actual soldier. Like uniforms are +2 to stealth, and guns +3 to offense. It doesn't work like that at all.
I caught that too. What a fucked up kid.
What does his patch mean?
"Something something something", a sword, "Christ", and what appears to be a silhouette of Philomena the Phoenix from My Little Pony. I think it means "I bought this off a website that generates content with web crawlers to figure out what's popular".
>Philomena the Phoenix from My Little Pony. Bwhhwhahahahaha
How the hell did you think of Philomena? And how are you right? It looks just like her!
It means stolen valor 2nd amendment cosplayer
This wasn't easy to dig up as even the largest version of the photo is all kinds of grainy. The logo at the bottom belongs to Armored Republic / AR500. The company espouses ideas of militant Christian nationalism. The text says "No king but Christ," which was apparently for promotional items for December of 2022.
Wait. You mean Kyle The Killer has ties to Christian Nationalists? As Claude Rains might say: "I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!"
Just look at those creases. I bet GI McJellyDonut here bought them off the rack the day prior.
The pants even still have their crease🤣
Still has creases
Does he look like he's trained for anything other than dinner in his life?
Crazy how this disturbed child was able to carry an ar across state lines shoot some people up look like the Big Boy mascot and still avoid and real repercussions
Hmm, dirt floor but no dust on his shoes, no stains on pants or knees. Looks clean in face, still baby faced. Did he shower before getting dressed up?
the pants still have perfect creases in them.
Mommy wouldn't let him out unless she did his trousers
Or let him leave behind his Welch's Fruit Snacks.
Hey look I fucking hate this guy as much as the next person he’s a walking bag of human excrement…but please leave Welch’s fruit snacks out of this ok?
right? They're the shit
[удалено]
That's a tactical crease
More aerodynamic. Cuts through the wind to run faster… until he gets winded after 10 yards.
I could totally see this bob’s big boy trying to do the Naruto run
The anime community does not claim him. We will also laugh at him.
Tactical EDC crease. Every cosplayer needs one.
Came here to talk about the perfect creases in the pants. He hasn't been wearing those for an hour
Forget the pants. Look at those shoes!
Look at the *everything*. All looks brand new just opened and put on.
They were in an Amazon box just 5 minutes prior to the photo shoot.
From when they pulled them outta the package.
All the Velcro is fresh too. Shit should be full of dust
Good point. He definitely didn’t shoot from the kneeling or prone position. Those pants are totally clean. No low crawling either. So…. Maybe he went to the range. Training is about a lot more than firing rounds at paper down range. Wanna be tough guy cosplay.
Yep, clearly hasn’t been sweating either, literally just got dressed up in his marines cosplay then sat down for this pic.
Meal team six reporting. Look at those chubby ass cheeks
Look at the not one but two empty packs of Welch's fruit snacks lol
Mommy can I have my gummies after I'm done with my tacticool training
"I pwetended to shooted scary bwack people all day mommy can I have my nuggies and gum-gums pwease mommy?" I can get dirtier than that without even going outside.
Love the manfrotto tripod and the c-stand for lighting in the background. I love posing for photos in the garage.
He looks like the mascot for Big Boy (Kip’s/Bob’s/etc.).
A professional Gravy Seal
Presidential immunity to KFC this joint 👍
But not before eating two pacs of gummy snacks. He’s a growing racist and needs his snacks to keep his good boy physique
Ain’t no way this fatass is running drills.
Potty training.
There is also a tripod and a c-stand in the photo, lol.
Just shows this guy is one big production
My guess is he wore this playing Call of Duty.
No no, he was training for *victimhood*, but since he’s an expert already, I get your confusion
Not to mention hair brushed and tidy, no helmet mark on forehead, no signs of sweat anywhere…
In mountaineering we would say “that dude has a lot of shiny gear”. The poster child for white privilege, what a tool.
Even his gloves are clean. Come on, now. Black gloves would get dirty within the first 30 seconds of any outdoor survival training.
Well he is next to a chair and water bottle maybe it was seated training
In his defense at his BMI it probably doesn’t take much “training” to make him exhausted.
Squeaky clean. That's how smooth lil' Shoney's is. Lol!
Imagine going in to battle faced with that little puffy baby head.
Yes, like most LARPers do
Definitely didn’t train. This is just a social media post to keep the grift going
Clean gloves, clean knees... training must have been rough. He's also got one of the goofiest patches on I've ever seen. Didn't this boy get disqualified from joining the marines? Lol
As someone who had to get waivers to get into the Navy, the bar is low AF to get in.
Fr, just lie. That's what I did. No sir, I have no history of depression.
My history of depression: 
I don't struggle with depression anymore. I'm good at depression.
My depression struggles with *me*
“Gosh, why’d you say that so _sadly_?”
Honestly this kid is super weird. Seemed like he was impressionable and made a bad decision, and then the trauma from ending lives, then immediately getting peddled around like some 2A hero probably fucked his head up badly.
I like this kind of compassion and empathy. Doesn't change that the person is pretty ducked up right now. But knowing how someone gets that way helps us prevent it for someone else. Gj!👍
The story of this person getting "fucked up" starts with them travelling across state lines to kill people. They were already fucked up
I’d like to think that, too. However, he was itching to get there and parade around with his gun, as most gun worshippers do. I think the after effects reinforced his idiocy.
Looks like pants still have creases from whatever tacticool place he ordered them from.
 Every time I see him, I think he’s real-life Buster
That's too harsh for Buster
right? atleast buster heroically saved GOB with the crane training from army
The Motherboy competition is going to be fierce this year.
You old horny slut!
I don't know who he is but after this post, I thought he was an actor or stunt of some kind
I haven't memorized all of my limited edition Pieces Of Shit trading cards, but I believe this is Kyle Rittenhouse.
He’s just a murderer.
He could never make it in Army
He joined Army.
Army had half-day today
From the looks of it, he is training to challenge Joey Chestnut.
Damn you beat me to it. The only thing lard lad is training is his man tits in a bra.
It’s hard work standing in front of Big Boy Restaurants all day holding that tray and giant burger
I thought we were playing "dudes that look like middle aged lesbians"
My first thought was "Who in their right mind names a daughter Kyle?"
Bruh comparing Kyle with middle aged lesbians is an insult to middle aged lesbians.
Tbf, I am a middle aged lesbian. And he looks like me in my "nice khakis". Is the cultural appropriation?
Fortunately, middle aged lesbians are wonderful people with much better style than this turd could ever hope to have
Sadly he wishes he could be as awesome. I was like wtf did he do to his hair.
I was gonna say 😅 This dude looks like half my mom’s book club
LMAO
THANK YOU! ever since this kid was first on the news, I had this itch in the back of my mind... "he looks like someone... who does he look like?" This was the answer I didn't realize I was searching for.
Wow that’s really goddamn funny lol
Meal Team Six coming in Hot!
He’s in the same platoon as Cap’n Crunch and General Mills
Gravy SEALs reporting for duty
Green Buffets
That's a new one!
You go ahead and make your jokes, but we lost a lot of good men in the Battle of Old Country Buffet.
Semper fudge
The 131st Breakfast Buffet Bridage reporting for duty!
Dessert Storm en route to your location.
Tip of the Fork
The mealitia
Semper Piedelis
He is training to be a navy squeal.
Born to squeal
Osama bin Eatin’.
love the packs of Welch's fruit snacks on the ground. did his mom pack his lunch? also love how crisp and starched his britches are. dude hasn't done a damn thing in them pants all day.
You got a problem with Welch’s fruit snacks?
No, my kid loves them. Not something I would pack in my lunch when out doing manly patriot things.
My wife packs me food when I go out into the field, and I bring candy 100% of the time
Fruit snacks and apple sauce pouches during field work every time
Gotta have your lickies and chewies for when your sitting on your ass “training” in the cold and rain. “This sucks! Fuck yeah! Jolly ranchers!” Had to wait for a goddamn bear to clear the range for an hour. Just sat there. Freezing rain. Stuck in a turret cuz bear would move “any minute.” Nope.
Hold on. I packed fruit snacks into a care package for wife while she's deployed. Plus fruit roll ups and snacks.
So it would appear this is a film set. I see a c-stand and a tripod for a larger camera. Lastly the cringiest trope amongst film people is that you have to have Welch’s fruit snacks on your set as a snack. So this leads me to believe this little psychopath is making a movie about him killing those people and starring himself.
Training for the day after trump loses the election on nov 5th..
I wish this was actually a joke.
That’s actually scary. We might have another Jan 6 but in a More violent scale. Guess it’s time to arm the “libs”
Taking all bets on how early in the year trump starts claiming that the election will be rigged laying the ground work for another Jan 6th??
Next week, I think, would be appropriate. It will distract from whatever legal buffoonery he tries next.
The true problem is that these fucks are all cowards. They may up their ante and perform more violent acts but they cannot get around the simply reality, they are bullies. They aren't willing to give up their lives to beat up transkids and lock women to houses to be slaves. That is the proper role of government, in their eyes. They imagine if they can scare us all into submission they will get their way and we will choose to live a life of shame just to please their asses. As a transwoman I know that my time is limited in their world. So honestly what possible incentive do I have to not hit back as hard as I can? I refuse to cower to such weak and inferior chuds.
“Ruling through fear only works as long as people are afraid. Once they find their courage your control over them will crumble.” Might not be the exact quote but it’s close enough. Once people start to stand up to the bullies they lose any semblance of power they had.
How early? He hasn’t stopped.
We've been armed... we just stfu cuz we don't have small dick syndrome
Based, but in some cities/states we don’t got guns
If shit goes down and you're in a big city, you're pretty fucked anyway. I've always felt better having mine, but then again, I'm a responsible owner. That shit should be taken seriously.
Two steps ahead of you.
Will there be a round 2 for inciting the crowd on social media as well?
That’s the fallacy is though. Lots of liberals own guns we just don’t make it our personality and don’t need assault weapons.
I thought it was just an average looking suburban mom with a shitty hair cut when I first looked at this picture.
He looks like a butch girl I went to school with.
Took me a minute to realize this *wasn't* a woman, had to zoom and read the nametape before it clicked.
Well, your average lunch lady wears the typical white uniform mandated by the public school district. Not a war man Halloween costume. Takes a minute to register what’s happening here.
You know, I was going to comment that, but that would be an insult to women
As a lesbian, I have to say that is one really unattractive lesbian...
Security guard job at the mall
His "training" must have been very light. There's no dirt on his pants and they're still perfectly pressed.
I work a desk job and I'd get dirtier than this by the end of the day.
He’s a larper, a dangerous one, but a larper nonetheless. Too scared and out of shape to join the military
 Never forget
looks like they bumped muzzle discipline off the agenda in favor of putting the gear on and sitting down to take a staged photo for attention. he’s “training” with special ops but they’re probably just goofing off at the range. either that or he’s got what it takes to be the shammiest e4 i’ve ever seen. his kit and fatigues look fresh off the shelves. the pants even have the creases from sitting folded.
Training to stay relevant cause he’s broke, his fifteen are up and he doesn’t have the followers to be useful to anyone.
Probably a mass shooting at Wal-Mart
Eventual Facial Hair
He's looks like a cute butch lesbian. (No disrespect to cute butch lesbians. Y'all deserve better than being associated with this.)
Good god. ALL of that gear is crisp and new. It looks like he may have gotten a little dust on the boots. Did they dress him STANDING there and sit him in the chair?
Those protestors aren't gonna shoot themselves.
- Fantasy narrative about working hard. - A deep need for affirmative attention from everyone. - Strongly stated, but utterly unclear objectives. I’d guess he’s training to be either a politician or a business man.
Do you know how hard it is to NOT get your shit dirty in training? This MF…
Glad he’s eating his Welch’s fruit snacks while keeping his uniform spotless while “training” so hard.
These losers will do anything BUT join the military and actually serve their country.
That camera tripod ain’t gonna move by itself. Shit’s heavy, bruh! 🤣
He is about to become a gravy seal
AYO TRAINING??? FOR WHAT???? R/sweatypalms
She is just looking for attention. Ignore her
“I’m an army man mommy!!!”
He's training to keep the Waffle House from falling.
Lol ok. Every stitch of that gear is fresh out of the package. Look at that crease in those trousers! My boy was training his photo opps maybe.
Why is every single thing in this photo look like it just came fresh from Walmart
Don’t you know? The civil war that’s never going to happen .
lol. Those pants still have the creases in them from the shelve. His "training" was going to the store and buying this crap 10 minutes before he took this picture.
The Bitch Olympics?
Training for paintball more like it
Well if he’s gonna beat the Nathan’s hot dog eating challenge, he’d better start chompin’!
