Most dem companies would come out guns blazing if it was a dem or a dem protected group (see Breonna Taylor and other criminals from this past summer).

What they did isn't wrong, they have no official ties to Rittenhouse. But it's be nice if they did come out and support him, it's not like they are going to alienate a bunch of libs drinking their coffee

---

How about simply rejecting the assertion that he's a domestic terrorist? Whoever responded on their Twitter is an idiot.

Are the owners of Black Rifle Coffee in the picture with Rittenhouse or is he just wearing the company's shirt?

If the statement is due to him wearing the shirt, I can understand the disclaimer (although with a little grey area due to the events that made Rittenhouse a household name).

1) They could/should have worded it differently to show support of the idea of self-defense while also stating that he hasn't been convicted of anything.

2) This is why "social" media is abhorrent and a taint on humanity.

3) See #2.

Why should they have done this? It would inconsistent with the mission, values, and policies their CEO articulated in the press release. I suppose it's fine if you believe the CEO should operate his company differently.

Ah yes, the "We have a philosophical system superior to our enemy, and therefore we must become like our enemy to defeat them" plan. That always works.

This thread is a good example of what is wrong with Twitter.

The statement brc put out was not all-encompassing, and didn't have additional nuance or explanation, yet others added their own interpretation which may or may not reflect brc's true stance. And those statements themselves, being short and not all-encompassing, are themselves subject to Interpretation which may or may not be accurate.

Their coffee sucks!

Dunkin, 7-Eleven, Buccees, and a whole host of there are better!

I was speaking to the Twitter-pated text.

His press release is exactly what I'd have said.

That is a far cry from "disavowing" Rittenhouse or not supporting the 2A.

This.

---

Then no statement should have been made. As the statement stands, with out some additional mention of support, then it certainly appears to me that they specifically do not support him. Which is a shame.

No clue how you reached that conclusion from their statement


Can we leave cancel culture and "eating their own" to the left?

---

Furthermore, I'd never heard of this company before the pic started circling. Now I'm supposed to boycott them because some internet warriors don't like a perfectly strait forward statement? I love living in an age when I learn about new companies on a regular basis for the sole purpose of boycotts.

Well I doubt they did "sponsor" him or have any kind of "relationship" with him.

SALT LAKE CITY -- A Utah-based coffee company says it will end its sponsorship of a Blaze Media podcast after the host shared a photo of Kyle Rittenhouse wearing a T-shirt with the company's logo, according to a report from The Salt Lake Tribune.

Elijah Schaffer, a reporter at Blaze Media, tweeted a since-removed photo of the 17-year-old wearing a Black Rifle Coffee Company shirt with the caption, "Kyle Rittenhouse drinks the best coffee in America." The teenager, accused of killing two people during protests in Wisconsin in August, was released Friday after supporters raised his $2 million bail.

Schaffer's podcast, "Slightly Offens*ve," was sponsored by Black Rifle, but a spokesperson for the coffee company told the Tribune that it is terminating that relationship.

---

Lol, withdrawing support of a podcast for sharing a picture. Turns out they were just larpers, but this was always obvious from their over the top commercials.

Now they are saying they didn't do this:

What a ****show. The comments are all hilarious. Black Rifle has pulled a Fox News.

Rittenhouse only killed two people?

Meh. I'll just keep buying Dunkin' beans for $10 a bag cheaper anyway.

PeekingDuck said:

Did you actually read their statement?

---

Yea I did. It says we don't support legal advocacy efforts. Which they don't. They didn't take a side in this issue and are stating facts. Some of y'all need to lighten up

It must be awful to be a business owner these days. We hem and haw here about companies getting political and then get all flustered when one of them tries to stay neutral during a "when did you stop beating your wife?" trap.

I love y'all (most of y'all) but this is ridiculous.

Source: the bum living under the bridge, high on bath salts and malt liquor. He is quite trustworthy.

After reading a few levels deep, it seems they are not pulling money from The Blaze, but are in talks about preventing their ad money from being used by Schaeffer or on ads where Rittenhouse is involved. The Blaze decides how to distribute the money they get from BRCC.

Which is actually worse lol. ****ing larpers.

OP clearly has something against BRCC that predates all of this.

1) The wording "facing charges" is different from "who allegedly".

2) Did not see an outright statement supporting 2nd amendment rights or the right to self defense.

See my other post as to why this company sucks. If you are going to be apolitical, be apolitical. Don't pretend to have morals or take a moral stand if ur gonna tuck tail and run the second the rubber hits the road.

BRCC is one of those random group triggers. You mention the name and people jump over each other and go out of their way to exclaim, "Well their coffee SUCKS". Usually by people who don't know anything/care about coffee in the first place.

Price you pay for having a strong willed branding I guess though.

They've built their whole brand off of being pro-2A and pro military. Plenty of over-the-top marketing videos of the founders carrying rifles and joking about liberals.

It's a little odd that they put out a statement about a 2A controversy that talked about being pro-military and didn't mention gun rights or self-defense at all.

This doesn't outrage me or anything, but it's something to keep an eye on. These guys might not be as serious about gun rights as they claimed.

Don't buy from them:

https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/pages/official-statement-kenosha

They have disavowed Kyle Rittenhouse.

This is who you should be buying from:

I agree with this tweet:

Why in the world would Black Rifle Coffee do this? The only people who were buying their coffee were exactly the same people who supported Rittenhouse. I'm not sure I've ever seen a company blow up their own business this badly. I doubt they have a single left wing supporter at all. Just truly amazing decision-making here.

Nobody is ever conservative enough for this board. At some point, the natives turn on them for not being conservative enough. They eat their own like the French Revolution.

Then you just let a leftist Brit with a single ridiculous drive by twitter post bend you to his will and indulge in cancel culture. A Brit who already has a history against "that racist Rittenhouse".

Congrats.

You let a Brit Marxist influence you. Congrats.
