One of those NYT articles where I'm supposed to be appalled but am not. Defending your own home or business or your neighbor's from arsonists is not self-defense, not "vigilantism". Thanks to Rittenhouse and others, the riots stopped.

“....where late that night a gunman scuffling with protesters shot three of them, two fatally. ...”

Let me fix that...

“where late that night a kid getting attacked by communist protesters was forced to defend himself and shot three of them, two fatally. “

There. Better.

This article is about Antifa and BLM’s vicious attack on American cities, right?

Oops, its the Slimes...

And with a single headline, the NYT shows what they are afraid of.

But they’re just FINE with flash mob Antifa or BLM assholes gathering.

Well, apparently PDJT used the sam guthrie event to dog whistle folks to get locked and loaded for 11/4/2020. Or something. L&L is the normal condition around here.

I think the writer aspired to get more comments of “utter BS” than the “1619 Project” article did. He might get close.

This article is a good example of what happens when the woke SJW interns who were taught nothing except leftwing activism in their journalism classes take over the newsrooms.

Good. If armed vigilantes can be summoned that easy, it means that the months of preparation(Bricks, Uhaul trucks, etc.) and funding of the Antifa insurgents can be easily defeated.

Kyle Rittenhouse seems to have turned the tide. Sure there has been some Antifa murders, but Kyle exposed how poorly the riots poll. The Dems then ordered the operation shut down. It has been.

Once again, the left accuses us of what THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING.

This NYT pearl-clutcher would have soiled his Underoos if he had been in CDA a while back:

So here's a hearty GFY and a proudly upthrust digitus impudicus aimed in the general direction of the NYT.

To date, has the NYT come out with a negative article
on ANTIFA, BLM, or both?

I doubt it. No, “Lets go after those redneck racists instead.”

I’m done with these propagandist entities, but then
I’ve been done with them since the 60s.

If law enforcement steps back from their obligation, the civilians will pick up the slack. I will not stand around to become a victim if the mob comes around to my area. The law can do their job or I will.
