Not sure what this graphic is for. He had already shot one person which is why he was being chased down as others attempted to apprehend him.

I don't know about you, but I always wear latex gloves when traveling across state for premeditated mur... eh, er.. I mean self-defense.

"I just killed somebody" he says into the phone as he flees the scene. https://Twitter.com/shmeckeljuice/statu ... 82529?s=20

Yeah, that was after red shirt guy who’d been screaming at guys to shoot him, took off his shirt and put it on his head (it’s in one of the Twitter videos where he’s screaming at the libertarian militia), and rushes the shooter after throwing something at him. The shooter, uh, shoots him and called presumably 911 telling them he killed or shot a guy - I can’t quite make out the audio. He’s running toward the cops - probably to turn himself in - when he’s chased. He tripped and fell, and was attacked where he shoots and kills skateboard guy, one other?, and shoots pistol guy who did a fake surrender and then drew his weapon. Pistol guy should’ve shot the kid, but hesitated and lost his bicep.

Personally I think all the folks who crossed state lines to loot, riot, or ‘defend’ businesses are culpable and this incident was inevitable. I’m saddened so many young people aren’t thinking of the long-term personal costs to their lives and to others when they engage in this kind of madness. I can’t imagine having my livelihood burned to the ground by a rioter just as I can’t imagine showing up to this scene to play CoD - Kenosha. It’s sickening.

Militias are supposed to defend the people against the state. The fact that they're getting it backwards only reinforces the racist aspect of all this. I mean people are coming from out of state risking their lives so that a complete stranger's window doesn't get busted? Yeah, right. They went there looking for trouble and that's what happens every time guns are involved in high tension situations.

I get the point about defending property, but at the end of the day it is just property. That so many people are willing to take human lives to defend inanimate objects that don't even belong to them is disturbing in and of itself. In what sense do "all lives" really matter?

Is it even legal in most states to shoot to kill if someone is trashing your car? I doubt it.

Kyle Rittenhouse will probably be the RNC's guest speaker tomorrow night.

I think in one of the videos off Twitter, i’m not interested in tracking it down right now, either he or his group actually encouraged the protesters to attack a government building, and the shooter called for a paramedic to assist an injured BLM protester. Also, the militia had a few black guys with them, but I don’t know where this guy’s headspace was at since he shot white guys, two of which ended up being Jews, much to 4chan’s delight.

In the battle against cars, windows and torched buildings, ANTIFA still has the high score.

However, Kyle Rittenhouse has killed more people than all members of Antifa and BLM combined.

Right Wing media remains focused on mourning all those burned objects. Because all lives don't matter.

Just waiting for this kid to be the next icon, adored by Trump himself. This kid was after all sitting front row at one of his rallies.

Trump loves everyone who supports him.

Moments ago, Kyle Rittenhouse of Illinois was arrested and charged with the felony murder of two protestors, and the critical wounding of another one, in Kenosha last night. Kyle, who could be seen on cell phone footage, fully armed with an assault rifle, walking the streets freely in the presence of police both before and after the shooting, was clearly protected by a layer of privilege that Black protesters across the country simply never receive. But new footage shows that it was more than just white privilege protecting Kyle. He was a part of a mob of heavily armed white militia men, who openly claimed that they coordinated their entire strategy with local police.

This man, who was a key organizer of the armed white militia, said, “Do you know what the cops told us today? We’re going to push them to you, because you can deal with them, then we’re going to leave.”

In essence, he said that he collaborated with police directly and that police pushed protesters toward the armed militia, so that they could “deal with them” directly.

After reviewing several hours worth of footage from last night, that appears to be exactly what police did. As shots rang out all over the place, police were nowhere to be found. They left just as planned.

That’s where we have common ground. In the battle for shootings at the protests, occupied zones, and riots, rapes, assaults, burglaries, arson, and property destruction ANTIFA takes the cake. As a reminder ANITFA espouses the belief that Liberal democracy is oppressive — fascistic even — and must be thoroughly destroyed. They make no bones about acts of extreme violence against individuals, property, and the state are seen as stepping stones, bringing us closer to the collapse of society and a new, more just societal order. Anyone familiar with 20th-century history knows, apocalyptic ideas of this kind won’t stop with street thuggery. I saw it first hand in Peru in the 90’s. Same crap, different decade. It was only a matter of time before enough businesses were burned, enough homes were threatened, and enough ‘nazis’ and ‘racists’ were attacked before this happened. You have enough deranged lunatics on the Right just salivating at the idea of a low intensity civil war, and I’m afraid unless we get a handle on these riots that’s exactly where we’re headed.
