In Kenosha, The Seeds of Civil War: Antifa rioters reap a bitter harvest in a once-placid Wisconsin town.
American Spectator ^ | August 27, 2020 | Scott McKay

...

By Tuesday night, armed groups of volunteers, who could be defined as militia or perhaps vigilantes, had congregated in Kenosha with a mission to protect those businesses surviving the first two nights of violence. One of them appeared to be a libertarian group whose message to the Antifa and Black Lives Matter “mostly peaceful” rioters was that if they wanted to torch government buildings or fight the police, they were indifferent; looting and burning private property, however, was not acceptable.

Included in that group was a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, just on the other side of the border named Kyle Rittenhouse, who reports say is the son of a local policeman. Earlier Tuesday Rittenhouse had joined volunteers in washing graffiti off the outer walls of the main building at a high school in Kenosha. How he ended up holding a long gun with much older adults in that militia group Tuesday night is unclear.

It’s also unclear how Rittenhouse got separated from the group. What is known is as the group massed to defend a gas station from a gaggle of Antifa/BLM types who grew increasingly hostile, elements of the Antifa side made their way to a nearby car lot where they attempted to set vehicles aflame and took baseball bats to windshields in an attempt at wholesale destruction of private property.

Not long after that, as visible from video collected at the scene, Rittenhouse was being chased by an individual, described as a 36-year-old from Kenosha, who threw something at him. Reports had it the object was a Molotov cocktail; if that’s true, it either wasn’t lit or didn’t ignite. Rittenhouse turned and shot the individual, who collapsed to the ground with a bullet to the head and expired shortly thereafter.

Thanks to Kyle, last night’s protest was downright boring. I watched the life feed.

Thanks, Kyle!

I pray they don’t charge him.

The cops/politicians let it happen. Their fault.

I heard they already did. But a lot of rumors are flying.

I’ve even heard the head shot victim was not shot by him. It’s a pistol wound. At least that is what I’m hearing.

Couldn't agree more. What do these mayors, city council members, DAs and Police Chiefs think is going to happen if THEY don't enforce order and discipline in society? People are going to just let civilization be destroyed without any resistance?

We need one phrase for Kyle;

Jury nullification.

That turd had a problem with Kyle earlier in the evening. Waited until he was alone to attack him, evidently. Bad idea.

He stalked and premeditated an attack. Oops went wrong.

the videos of this kid earlier in the evening washing graffiti and trying to assist hurt people show he wasn’t out to kill anyone. hopefully whoever it was that interviewed him and posted it on twitter also sent a copy to the DA’s office, not that it matters with these loons in power.

That would explain Kyle running away and shouting “I didn’t shoot him!”

The same mentality that caused white people to lynch black folks is now perpetrated by BLM, Antifa, and the DNC. They are lynching cops, white bis in eases and whole cities without a trial.

I’m there

As a child, looters were shot on sight. They were warned, too. This works.

Stealing Nikes or some Gucci bag does not

The businesses need to start suing the mayors and cities for not doing their jobs. It took the cops 5 minutes to respond, even though they knew. That means they were told not to respond.

OK...y’all wanna see the ZERO COMPASSION face of the PSYCHOPATH out there. Add this to your MEMORIZATION of FACES, WORDS, DEEDS...

https://pjmedia.com/uncategorized/victoria-taft/2020/08/26/meet-antifas-alice-phallus-when-shes-not-rioting-shes-a-life-coach-for-portlands-at-risk-youth-n843246

I won’t hijack this thread with all of the other examples.

Remember, Thomas Sheridan’s youtube talking about Dr. Robert Hare’s great work “Without Conscience” saying that it usually starts about 13-14 in “Labyrinth of the Psychopath: When the Demon Knocks at Your Door”?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyBNRxeeyHc

Well, OK...yet it can start much, much earlier or much, much later. It depends on many factors. Learn how to DICRIMINATE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCES between INDIVIDUALS. YOUR LIFE depends on it, as does the LIVES of your innocent loved ones.

Like Sheridan says, “THEY are out THERE.” See THEM. Avoid THEM if you can. When THEY have POPULATED the government...WHOA BOY...WATCH OUT!!!!

MURDER by GOVERNMENTS. Witness history.
