‘I believed things he told me that I now understand to be … lies,’ Dave Hancock says in new Rittenhouse documentary

A former spokesperson for Kyle Rittenhouse says he became disillusioned with his ex-client after learning that he had sent text messages pledging to “fucking murder” shoplifters outside a Chicago pharmacy before later shooting two people to death during racial justice protests in Wisconsin in 2020.

Dave Hancock made that remark about Rittenhouse – for whom he also worked as a security guard – on a Law & Crime documentary that premiered on Friday. The show explored the unsuccessful criminal prosecution of Rittenhouse, who killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

As Hancock told it on The Trials of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 90-minute film’s main subject had “a history of things he was doing prior to [the double slaying], specifically patrolling the street for months with guns and borrowing people’s security uniforms, doing whatever he could to try to get into some kind of a fight”.

    I also have a bunch of little riffs saved somewhere. Hours of terrible tape from when i was younger too. I have tendency to criticize myself more harshly than I should but the criticism is somewhat accurate so I’m torn. I just can’t not play sloppy. Decent ideas in my head but it’s nearly impossible for me to execute.

    Anyway, it was still fun and it’d be nice to try playing again.

      I have an internet buddy who is a professional sound guy engineer for concerts. As in the guy that does wave form captures for analytical analysis and tells Taylor Swift “hold your microphone here or else you will sound stupid” kind of guy. He also jokes that he puts packing tape over guitar knobs to “keep these idiots from imma crank it up to 11”.

      Anyways, I asked him about playing to backing tracks and sent him a shitty clip. He said it sounded fine, but told me to remember how all these videos/clips have gone through massive amounts of sound manipulation. He told me “you don’t sound bad, you sound live”. Made me feel a little better, and you likely sound the same so don’t worry about it.

      Keep on jamming.
