I told myself that I wasn’t going to post about the RNC, but then this happened…

When word came out a few days ago that the Republican Party had decided to go into their convention without any platform, instead just pledging their complete and total fealty to Donald Trump, I knew that the RNC was going to be weird. This feeling was further compounded upon reading that half of the speakers on the lineup were to be Trump family member. I had no idea just how strange, however, it was going to get.

For the most part, it would seem the Republican Party no longer a real political party. It’s just an extension of Donal Trump’s twisted ego. It stands for nothing but extending the rein of the Trump family by any means necessary. And, what we saw tonight, was how far they were willing to go in service of that goal. It was full-on race baiting, fear mongering and white grievance from start to finish. Here, to give you a taste, is Kimberly Guilfoyle screaming in an empty room about the dystopian hellscape that awaits us if Joe Biden is elected president. Ours, she tells us, will be a nation littered with heroin needles in which the citizens of America have been “enslaved.” “Don’t let the Democrats and their socialist comrades take you for granted,” Guilfoyle yelled with raised arms, as if summoning an army of the undead. “Don’t let them step on you. Don’t let them destroy your families, your lives and your future. Don’t let them suppress future generations, because they told you and brainwashed you and fed you lies that you weren’t good enough!”

By the way, if you’re ever in a group where you’re listening to someone talk like this, you should know that you’re in a cult.

    Washington Post:

    So, despite a pledge from his campaign that the Republican convention would offer a breath of optimism — and despite an email from the campaign in the middle of the first night describing the Democratic gathering as “the darkest, angriest, gloomiest convention in history” — speaker after speaker offered remarkably grim assessments of what might be, should Trump lose in November.

    “Don’t let the Democrats and their socialist comrades take you for granted,” Trump campaign adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle shouted. “Don’t let them step on you. Don’t let them destroy your families, your lives and your future. Don’t let them suppress future generations, because they told you and brainwashed you and fed you lies that you weren’t good enough!”

    Democrats “will disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home and invite MS-13 to live next door,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said with a grin. “And the defunded police aren’t on their way.”

    The McCloskeys, a couple from St. Louis who earned national attention after confronting peaceful protesters with a rifle and a handgun, warned that Democrats wanted to destroy American suburbs.

    “Forced rezoning would bring crime, lawlessness and low-quality apartments into thriving suburban neighborhoods,” they said, presumably speaking from their large mansion.

    “It was full-on race baiting, fear mongering and white grievance from start to finish.”

    What convention were you watching? I saw a brown woman speak, whose Dad wore a turban and whose Mother wore a sari, who talked about how this country gave her the opportunity to be elected governor of her state and appointed ambassador to the UN.

    I saw a black man whose grandfather left school after 3rd grade to pick cotton, but who was the first black man elected to both Congress and Senate from his state.

    I saw other persons of color highly respected for their abilities. I saw a Hispanic man from Cuba who loves this country and the opportunities it provides. In a tearful voice he pleaded not to let the Dems change us into a Socialist nation.

    I saw POC voicing their support for their local police and suggesting that the Democratic politicians who wanted to defund their police should have their own private security forces replaced by social workers.

    And on the other channels I saw buildings on fire, mobs in the street, and police with their hands tied by Democratic politicians who wouldn’t allow them to put an end to the “peaceful protests”.

    I saw a number of persons who expressed great appreciation for this country and its heritage and who wanted to forge ahead and continue to make it better.

    And I realized that MSM and the dark forces won’t prevail in this upcoming election. That millions of prayers will bring out the Christian vote in unprecedented numbers. A coalition of law abiding citizens, of mothers who want security, of Blacks who have succeeded and prove that systemic racism is a myth that can’t keep them down, and of young persons who dream of a brighter future, will all work together to help elect Trump and keep America great.

    Heather Cox Richardson’s post yesterday mentions something that I find deeply disturbing.

    – Jerry Falwell Jr. had an arrangement with his pool boy to have sex with his wife while he watched. ( not to the disturbing part yet. )

    – Apparently there were photos to prove this. ( still not there )

    – Michael Cohen, back in 2015, helped make the story go away… and saw the photos. ( still not there )

    – A year later, Jerry Falwell Jr. endorses Trump and helps him win over the evangelical vote. ( arrived )

    Does that not look like Trump blackmailed a key evangelical leader to get his endorsement?

    EOS – What is your take on this? I listen to conservative radio and have a few conservative / religious sites in my news rotation, and I can clearly see that THE issue that may make or break this election is “religious freedom”. It is being talked about constantly how much Trump has gone to the mat for them. The WSJ had an article about this yesterday. Joe Biden is gonna get hammered by Trump on this, and I am concerned he is going to falter. But is this current defender of your “religious freedoms” really worth the price of overlooking his clearly flawed character… to put it gently? How can anyone who is concerned about being able to act according to their faith and conscience act in favor of this man by supporting him? Are your acts of conscience informed by preservation of personal comfort? Are the hard decisions deferred as a result? Do you really need the mediating institutions of religious establishments if you are going to rely on the state to preserve your “acts of conscience” that stay in the domain of the comfortable? Or do you believe that self rule is primary, is supported ( historically ) by mediating institutions, requires tough and uncomfortable personal decisions to act “according to one’s conscience”?

    From which direction does Just governance flow? From the individual up? Or from the State down?

    The hardest thing for me was watching a strong woman of color (albeit with a history of whitewashing her heritage), whom I used to respect, succumb to the cult thinking. There was a time when I thought Nikki Haley could run for president and I would vote for her even though her values are more conservative than mine. I used to think of her as a decent person with some integrity. No longer.

    Falwell endorses Trump in January 2016. (Still not there.)

    In January 2016, Trump was by far the Republican front runner. (Still not there.)

    The GOP front runner got the Evangelical leadership endorsement. (Still not there.)

    The GOP nominee got the Evangelical vote. (Still not there.)

    Conspiracy theorists speculate that the GOP nominee received the evangical vote as an indirect result of blackmail. (Arrived.)

    I’ve never once in my life voted according to what any religious leader told me. All men sin. Falwell, Trump, and Biden are all morally flawed persons who have no hope of eternal life except through the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. You could argue that there are degrees of sinful behavior, but it makes no difference. If you break any law, even once, you are condemned, unless you accept Jesus Christ as atonement for your sins.

    Religious freedom is a human right. The free exercise of religion is an inalienable right given to us by God. Governments do not grant us rights, but are formed to help protect our rights.

    The Christian faith is not about adhering to any set of rules given to us by a man made institution, or by following any religious leader other than Jesus Christ. It is a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. It is an indwelling of the Holy Spirit that guides us. Just government flows from God, into the hearts of men who work for the betterment of all and not for personal gain. We have never experienced just government in this sin-riddled world.

    There are significant differences between the two major parties that impact the spread of the Gospel and the freedom to live according to Biblical principals. Democrats have been working to redefine the free exercise of religion into a “freedom to worship”. They want to confine religious activity within the walls of a temple, church, mosque, etc. Some on this blog have written that persons cannot advocate for laws that are consistent with Christian morals because of a fabricated “separation of church and state” that is not contained within our Constitution. Yet the foundation of our laws and our form of government is Biblical.

    The majority of Christians will vote for the platform that most closely follows the moral teachings of the Bible. Dems are pro-abortion, Reps are pro-life. Dems are pro-homosexual, Reps are for marriage between a man and a woman. Dems support crime and criminals, Reps are for law and order. Dems segregate people into identity groups, Reps see all people as children of God. Dems went to the Supreme Court twice to try to force Catholic nuns to pay for abortion, Rep groups defended them successfully twice. Dems want private businesses to support/endorse sinful behaviors, Reps support the right to live by Biblical values. Dems are intolerant of anyone who does not voice support for deviant sexual behaviors, communist organizations, etc. Dems perceive POC as unable to achieve without their benevolence, Reps acknowledge POC as unique and capable individuals. Dems want to enslave people to handouts, Reps want to give people a hand up so that they can freely choose their path. Dems support the person(s) who they think will give them the most benefits, Reps support the ideas that will most benefit society.

    Someone wrote earlier on this blog that Biden is getting a lot of evangelical support. I don’t see it happening.

    I do want to point out the total cluster we have gotten ourselves into regarding absolutes ( Truth, Goodness, Beauty ) vs a relativistic approach. Trump certainly has shown himself to be a relativist- moral and otherwise, but no one supporting him seems to mind as long as he gives them what they want. The same goes for the left though. They have loosened themselves from the mooring of absolutes and are now getting a taste of their own medicine from Trump. You can’t accept Equality as an absolute, and then turn around and say absolutes don’t exist.

    The Greeks made a distinction between what is true by nature and what is true by convention. It is a distinction that is just as important today as it was 2300 years ago. We accept truths of convention to protect ourselves from the Truths of Nature…one being that the “strong” would be left unchecked to do whatever the hell they want.

    Nobody,

    https://www.gotquestions.org/sins-equal.html

    Evangelicals don’t believe all sins are equal either. But the penalty for any sin is the same – separation from God. If one does not repent and accept the atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ, Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world – then the separation is eternal.

    It is impossible to stand before a righteous God and claim that you deserve redemption based on your works. It is only the covering of Jesus Christ that makes you appear righteous before God. He provides the sacrifice, and you accept the free gift.

    Hey Faceless Fascist your bro’s in Charlottesville did accomplish some good on there way to prison.

    law

    By DENISE LAVOIE
    ASSOCIATED PRESS | AUG 24, 2020 AT 7:40 PM

    RICHMOND — A federal appeals court on Monday upheld the convictions of two members of a white supremacist group who admitted they punched and kicked counterdemonstrators during the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, but found that part of an anti-riot law “treads too far upon constitutionally protected speech.”

    In its ruling, a three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a challenge to the constitutionality of the entire federal Anti-Riot Act on its face. But the court said the 1968 law violates the free speech clause of the First Amendment in some respects. The court invalidated parts of the law where it encompasses speech tending to “encourage” or “promote” a riot, as well as speech “urging” others to riot or involving mere advocacy of violence.

    The ruling came in an appeal by Benjamin Drake Daley of Redondo Beach, California, and Michael Paul Miselis of Lawndale, California, two members of the Rise Above Movement, a militant white supremacist group known for having members who train in mixed martial arts street-fighting techniques.

    Daley and Miselis pleaded guilty in 2019 to conspiracy to riot in connection with several 2017 rallies, including a torch-lit march at the University of Virginia and the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville; Virginia, and rallies in Huntington Beach and Berkeley, California

    Trump only needs to hold the states Republicans were projected to carry In 2016 and one of the three swing states he carried in 2016. The election is likely to hing on three states, Wis, Pa and Michigan. Expect more provocations like the murder in Kenosha to occur in those three states, most particularly in Wis Which will most likely be the state Trump holds.

    Yeah wobblie, I wouldn’t expect you to understand why representation in government matters. Yes, there was a time when I thought of Haley as a woman of integrity and some values I share such that I might have voted for her for President. Because it is important that we break that particular glass ceiling. I don’t at all expect someone like you to understand that. I don’t expect you to support women at all, not after you threw women under the bus in 2016. Come to think it of, how many Americans are dead of COVID so guys like you could virtue-signal with your vote?

    You know what too, Wobblie, if you choose to vote third party *again* you cannot blame me. I have no control over who you vote for. That is your choice. Do you want to know that you helped cause even more Covid deaths? That seems like something you might care about since you clearly don’t care about women losing the right to make medical decisions, or trans in the military, or brown kids in cages or any of the other outcomes any moron could have seen with a Trump presidency.

    I was wrong about Haley. Which for some reason FF thinks means that I no longer support any strong women of color or children of immigrants? Ok, whatever man. Why don’t you go have a beer with Wobblie so you can blame me for causing the Dems to lose elections by being a woman who is just too uppity?

    Vague Guy,

    Trust me. Print your words out and tape them to your bathroom mirror so you can read that shit every morning—in the hope that someday the meaning of your own words sink into your brain past your thick skull.

    For most of the “radical” youth this is a stage that is actively being enabled by mostly older people like the ones around here. Which are almost all older than I am for what it’s worth. You had better hope that the timing of your scams is on-time. Best case scenario you would become disabled in the next few years or so (and then die quickly after that). Otherwise, most of those youth you helped to radicalize indirectly; as they mostly will inevitably pass through this phase; are, a few years from now; going to resent the hell out of people exactly like you; who lacked the courage to speak up—a silence in service to a thinly veiled neoliberal agenda built on a mountain of lies and aimed toward evil.

    Your way might feel like the easy path to you now. But there is a strong chance, imo, it will, in the end, be a disaster to you personally. When a person abandons the Truth because they perceive it will be easier for them; they are insuring a world of shit will come down on them eventually. People thinkotherwise but people really don’t get away with even small lies, much less gigantic lies, done for bad reasons. And isn’t that the way it should be?

    You have misidentified THE PROBLEM in terms of practical steps which you perceive will maximize your own personal ease and comfort. But the problem is actually a problem which needs to be solved within the realm of the Spirit. My advice: Continue to avoid a spiritual orientation to the Truth at your own risk!

    I remember when Kimberley Guifoyle was the “hot chick with brains” future wife of San Francisco board of supervisor member (appointed by Willie Brown in what at the time was a confounding move) Gavin Newsom. We all thought that guy was a tool (of the Getty’s specifically). I’m glad he wizened up. But still it’s good to remember that political operatives rarely have more political conscience than ambition. She doesn’t believe her own spin and never has. Both conventions were efforts at emotional manipulation so transparent that none of us should fall for any of it. Only one party threatens our shared core liberal democratic (small l & d) values.

    Nathan has made out quit well for an upper middle class white kid. Remember distraction is key.

    My wife got her University approved ppe today. The face masks are worthless. Even wearing both reusable ones provided simultaneously, they fail to pass the flame test.
    The flame test is a simple way to determine the effectiveness of your mask. Light a candle and while wearing the mask try to blow the candle out. If you are able to blow the candle out more than a two or three inches away from your face, the mask will not be effective. These are the same masks being given to all students. Worthless. I guess it fits into the new Trumpian ethos, create the illusion of protection while getting as much money from the students as possible.

    Hey Faceless Fascist how is that school reopening going down in Florida? I see where the number of children hospitalized with the trumpvirus has increased by over 100, almost 600 kiddies as of yesterday. I wonder how many will require ventilators, coffins?

I support our schools decision to do virtual learning for now. It is smart to play it safe where we can. I don’t see any good reason for kids 6-12 to go to school now given the probable risk to themselves and teachers. Much less do I think College kids should go in person…. Similarly, I thought it would have been wise for MI to play it safe with our elderly when we knew it was attacking the elderly at a very very high rate…Why do you insist on playing the insinuation game Wobblie?

    HW The Central Intelligence Agency was created on July 26, 1947 when Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act into law. The Act merged the Department of War (renamed as the Department of the Army) and the Department of the Navy into the National Military Establishment (NME), headed by the Secretary of Defense. It also created the Department of the Air Force and the United States Air Force, which separated the Army Air Forces into its own service. It also protected the Marine Corps as an independent service, under the Department of the Navy.

    Aside from the military reorganization, the act established the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S.’s first peacetime non-military intelligence agency.

I also found it interesting that he was chased, on the ground, and attacked before he fired a shot. He only shot people who were attacking him from what I could tell. It is possible he shot people before and that is why they were attacking. I have not had time to investigate it.

    I have not had time to review much at all. I watched this video quickly. It gave a bit more context. I am not ready to pass judgment yet at all. And yes I strongly believe the shooter is Rittenhouse. I also know that Rittenhouse seemed to idolize the police. What is your point?

    I think you should stick to interpreting ladies belts, Jean. After you learn something about ladies belts of course. Just focusing in on something small might help you avoid demonstrating your supreme idiocy over and over again….

    FF the video of the shooter being chased is after he murdered one person. He was heading back to his handlers when protesters attempted to apprehend him. He shoots one and then he casually takes aim and shoots his third victim. You evidently did not see the heavily armed man police (?) officer he walks by, that officer was less than hundred feet from the shooting.
    You must have missed the one where two people are attempting to stop the bleeding from his first victim. He starts casually walking away talking on the phone about killing one of them. At that point protesters started chasing after him. You missed that part I guess. Did you see the videos from earlier where he is paling around with the cops? The cops say were going to drive the protesters towards you (the vigilante militia he was with) and you will know what to do.
    No body cams, and I suspect we will find out many of the cops turned off their audio recorders as well.
    Dont worry be happy were going to get the police state you want. MAGA

Now you will walk it back but not acknowledge that you have denied and minimized all far right violence while describing left leaning violence in the most hyperbolic terms.

    “Kyle Rittenhouse has been charged with murder, but the basis for this charge is not clear. The videos clearly show that he was defending himself. On top of all the video, he was just 17 years old. This kid obviously grew up idolizing cops and before he lived long enough to know better tried to be one.

    Wobblie,

    Anthony Huber was not the person shot there. That aspect of the video is factually incorrect. Huber is the one who was shot later after attacking Kyle with the skateboard while he was on the ground right before the guy charging Kyle with the Glock was shot in the arm.

    There is zero indication that Kyle shot the short guy in the red shirt and bald head from 30 feet away. He was sprinting toward Kyle. A first shot went off when he was a car length away as he was sprinting toward him. The person who got shot was the same guy at :22 of the video I shared. He was the one who was acting threatening toward Kyle and his group minutes (?) before. There is no indication he was hit when the first shot came out. None as far as I can tell. It could have been a warning shot. I could not tell the direction of the barrel. Could you? It was fuzzy. There is no doubt that Kyle did in fact hit him with bullets when he was at 3 feet away. As he was being charged by him at extremely close range.

    I don’t think you are being honest when you simply say Kyle murdered him at 30 feet away. I will look closer on on a larger screen tomorrow.

    And according to Fox News Blake admitted he was armed with a knife and it was in the area where he was shot. There were tons of innocent people and children around. He had a warrant out on him. He resisted arrest. He reached into a car that had a weapon inside. In doing so he put not only put his life in danger he put all of the lives around him in danger. If the recent report is true, the blood on whose hands Jean?

He appears to be reaching toward the floorboard after resisting arrest. I am just stating facts. I think there things the cops could have done differently.

I will gladly take a look at the spots where you think I made a mistake. Btw, you have still not told me what Deandre Harris was doing off camera at 5:33 of the “Durst the worst” video. What was Deandre Harris doing? Your characterization of the interaction was light on facts, imo.

    Can you characterize the 3 shootings by Rittenhouse? First shooting: What was the short guy witn the red shirt around his neck doing right before he was shot? Second shooting: What was Anthony Huber doing right before he was shot? Third shooting: What was the man with the Glock doing right before he was shot?

    These should be easy questions to answer.

    There has been a lot of symbolism in this campaign. I thought women wore wide belts to accentuate their small waists. Melania is a great looking woman. The US military fatigue uniform can be worn with a 3 – 4 inch wide utility belt at times, but it is functional rather than aesthetic.

    However, the Democratic Party has a new logo that very closely resembles a satanic symbol. Death to America? You decide.

    It is possible there was no warrant on Blake. It was reported Blake had a warrant for his arrest but it might not be true. I was wrong to say he was armed with a knife as I already admitted, I misspoke. It is being reported Blake admitted to having a knife in the car though. It is being reported the knife was on the floorboard. It does appear Blake was reaching down low toward the floorboard to me. Do you see something different?

    You have seen the second video from behind the car right? What do you see in the video? I see a tussle with the police involving Blake. It appears they are wrestling with Blake. The video is fuzzy. I presume they are trying to arrest him although it is possible that is not true. It appears Blake and the cops are on the ground. Blake gets up. The cops follow him around the car. I presume they are ordering him to freeze but that could be untrue. I see Blake opening his car door. I see the cop very weakly try to pin Blake against the car with one hand. It is more of a shove at Blake’s shoulder. I then see Blake reaching down low quickly into the car. I then see Blake being shot. Can you correct me where you see something different?

    Do you think they were trying to arrest Blake? Yes or no?

    I do agree with Anonymous. The training of some of these cops is horrible. They need to learn more grappling and de-escalation. They will be more confident in their abilities to de-escalate as they are more competent in grappling. If the cops can not field a competent force you will see more militias.

    “Using your superior skills please explain how the officer was in fear for his life when he pumped 7 shots into Blakes back.“

    The cops did a horrible job. So indecisive. And they put themselves in a very bad position that could have/ should have been avoided. ** The fact that there was so many people around complicated everything.** The cops decision to shoot may have been influenced by his belief that Blake was a threat to all of the people around the scene. The cops decision to shoot may have been influenced by his fear that a shootout might lead to an innocent life being hit by a stray bullet. Bottom line: the cop should not have shot him. The cop sucked at his job, it was a complicated situation.

    I will add however, if it is true that Blake decided to resist arrest then that too was a horrible decision. Bad things happen when people resist arrest, ignore commands, and reach quickly into cars. It is irresponsible x1000 to decide to do all of those things with innocent people and children around.

    I ask again:

    Can you characterize the 3 shootings by Rittenhouse? First shooting: What was the short guy witn the red shirt around his neck doing right before he was shot? Second shooting: What was Anthony Huber doing right before he was shot? Third shooting: What was the man with the Glock doing right before he was shot?

    Here is a hint as to why I loved your Foucault comment, which functioned as a way of avoiding the examination of concrete particulars, Wobblie:

    From Wikipedia:
    “Another criticism leveled against Foucault’s approach is that he often studies the discourse of “prisons” rather than their concrete practice; this is taken up by Fred Alford:

    “Foucault has mistaken the idea of prison, as reflected in the discourse of criminologists, for its practice. More precisely put, Foucault presents the utopian ideals of eighteenth-century prison reformers, most of which were never realized, as though they were the actual reforms of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. One can see this even in the pictures in Discipline and Punish, many of which are drawings for ideal prisons that were never built. One photograph is of the panopticon prison buildings at Stateville, but it is evidently an old photograph, one in which no inmates are evident. Nor are the blankets and cardboard that now enclose the cells.””

    “HW do you think a 25 year old conviction is relevant how about you FF?”—Wobblie

    If I was trafficked as a child, 25 years ago, I am pretty sure that long lasting trauma would be relevant to just about everything about my life.

    Wobblie does not seem to think his words and actions have consequences that can span space and time. He does not consider how his speech acts might affect others. Quite a privileged fellow he is. Spouting opinions about events without showing any desire for accuracy in his statements. Without any care for his potential mischaracterization and the possible bad effects that might follow. No responsibility.

    Why though? How though?Because everything is subordinate to Wobblie’s agenda. Concrete particulars are subordinate to his ideas. He wants to make reality itself his little bitch. Unfortunately for Wobblie that sort of mode of being only works for the most charismatic and “talented” dictator types. I am afraid Wobblie is going to have to choose another mode of being.

    It’s simple, Wobblie. You characterized the Rittenhouser shootings through your comments and links. So I am asking the most basic questions regarding your characterization: First shooting: What was the short guy with the red shirt around his neck doing right before he was shot? Second shooting: What was Anthony Huber doing right before he was shot? Third shooting: What was the man with the Glock doing right before he was shot?

    These questions should be simple to answer. Especially for someone who has Foucault in his bookshelf!!!

    FF reading a Wikipedia critique is almost as good as reading cliff notes, is that how you got through college? So like EOS truth is irrelevant. He maintained that this was news. Like your constant believe in your “rightness” truth is what you want it to be.
    What I and evidently the Kenosha County prosecutor saw was an individual who earlier in the evening stated he was carrying lethal force and was prepared to use it. He was out in violation of the curfew had absolutely no legal right to be out. He murdered a man who was unarmed and was 20 to 30 feet away. He then fled the scene , at least his third felony, when citizens attempted to stop his flight he murdered a second person and attempted to murder a third.
    The fact that he was buddies with the cops, and given other actions of the cops, Im sure he believes his murders were lawful.
    He will have many years in prison to contemplate his folly.

    Obviously true Wobblie. Sorry I don’t have time to discuss Foucault right now. Do you have time to describe what the short guy with the red shirt (1st shooting) was doing right before he was shot? You say he was shot at 30 feet away. What was he doing? Was he standing there? Was he running away? You say he fled after the first shooting. What did he do between the first shooting and running toward officers?

    I dont know what the guy in the red shirt was doing. Some people say he threw a molotov cocktail. The video shows it was a bag with a paper cup in it.,. Litering now that is a death penalty offense.
    After he walked over and confirmed he had killed him he made a phone call and ran away. After shooting one pursuer in the arm he murdered a second person. He then fired multiple rounds indiscriminately at other people before walking to the police lines.

    I am truly tired of living in an exceptional nation. Unlike EOSs “facts” I only suspect that these are accurate statements.

It is fine if you don’t know everything he was doing but you should be able to name something. Name something. It’s in multiple videos. It is an easy question to answer. The reason I ask is because you offered a characterization of what happened on the internet. I just want to double check that the characterization you offered up matches up with facts. When he throws the plastic bag. What does he do next?

    You don’t have time to back up your statements which shapes a narrative, regardless of whether or not the narrative you are helping to shape matches up to the facts; But you are simultaneously surprised I did not read Foucault after lunch today at your suggestion?

    Mega fraud.

    If you don’t know then why do you pretend you do know? Why do you interpret events when you are oblivious to the fact pattern upon which an interpretation depends? You said he shot him from 30 feet away and you linked a video. In order to make such a statement you would need to identify the shooter, the shots and the person who got shot in the video. When you are identifying the person who you said got shot at 30 feet away what was he doing right before he got shot? Right after he got shot? As he was shot? You do not need to know all of these things. Logic dictates you know at least one of these things. Answer the questions or admit you are talking out your ass regardless of the consequences to others because your narrative and agenda are important to you than the Truth.

    Mega fraud.

    I spent a few more minutes looking at video. I see Kyle run into parking lot, he lets off a burst of three shots, almost looks like while on the run. He stops lets off another three shots. I dont ever really see the guy in the red shirt, but he is several car lengths away from Kyle. It seems like it was the second burst of three shots that hits him. As near as I can tell Joseph Rosenbaum was just standing there, but I cant tell from video. What is clear, Kyle ran into lot and started shooting. I dont even think he saw the litter that was thrown at him. It does nor seem connected to him shooting.

I am just wondering because that would be weird given the fact that you have berated me for my video analysis over the years. Seriously. I am at a loss. LOL.

    Big takeaway is that Wobblie thinks Joseph was just standing there. Ok. So did that inform your interpretation of events? Hypothetically would you change your interpretation of events if it turned out that Joseph was chasing Kyle and attacking him within 3 feet as Kyle backed up and finally shot him? Yes or no?

    The first shot did not kill Joseph. The first shot was from a 3rd party pistol in the air (Glock guy?). Study the photo in the NYT article and then watch the video from the same angle. The guy labeled “lunging guy” is Joseph. You still do not get it.

    1)Joseph is on camera threatening the the militia earlier. Skateboard guy was his friend. Glock guy was right there with them when Joseph was harassing the militia.

    2) For unknown reasons Kyle was fleeing from Joseph. Joseph continued to chase Kyle. Kyle stopped running away as he ran into sort of a dead end.

    3). Around the same moment Kyle stopped running he turned.l and the first shot from a 3rd party handgun was shot into the air.

    4) Joseph continued to run toward Kyle. Kyle has his gun pointed at Joseph. Joseph was charging Kyle within 3 feet when Kyle shot him. Head shot.

    That is what Joseph was doing before he got shot. Joseph was threatening militia members, chasing Kyle, attacking Kyle and not doing a very good job dodging a bullet.

    “And yet they say it takes some kind of conspiracy nut to think that the Democrats have a problem with pedophilia.”

    EOS, I’m not at all here to defend Democrats, and definitely not pedophiles, but out of epistemological curiosity what is the exact source of the information you posted? I ask because I’ve seen the same meme, yet the list of names included an equal number of Democrats and Republicans.

    If you google any of the examples (any complete sentence, and put quotes around it to narrow the results to exact matches) you will find multiple references to the same meme.

    The city. Of Kenosha has 180 officers (1 for every 500 citizens). Then there is the university cops. They were able to put 150 riot police in the street before they received 150 National Guardsman. In none of the videos of protestors has there ever been more than a few hundred protesters.

    Kyle will not be able to claim self defense. In Wisconsin you can not use self defense if you were committing a crime. Kyle was in illegal possession of the weapon he used. That is one of the many charges he faces.

    Kyle Rittenhouse put out a dumpster fire. That’s why the crowd led by Rosenbaum was after him. Anyone who says he was hunting people is a liar. Rosenbaum tried to grab his gun and got ventilated. Then they chased him and attacked him with weapons and some more of them got wasted.

    I think it’s nutty to equate property destruction to murder.

    Also the property destruction has been minimal despite the desperation of the Republican Party to spin it is worse than it is.

    Peaceful protest is legal; murder is not. We are focused on the murder of and violence towards Black Americans because that’s what the protests are addressing. And because it matters.

    The sheriff said he had been approached by members of a militia to deputize citizens with guns to patrol Kenosha, and he pointed to what happened on Tuesday as “probably the perfect reason why I wouldn’t” do so.

    Kyle had no more legal right to be on the street than the rioters. Under Wisconsin law you can not claim self defense while you are committing a crime. Just ask any gang banger in prison for shooting another gang banger in “self-defense”. Kyle was Guilty of at least three crimes when he killed his fellow rioters. He may have bee their ideological enemy but he was as much a rioter as any of the arsonist. You are either in favor of the same law and order for everyone or your just another Faceless Fascist.

    Vague Guy,

    It is true that I am not ONLY interested in truth. I also like sandwiches and walks along the beach.

    You bring up an interesting notion about speaking the truth and audience size. Maybe I should not have tried to speak the truth this morning because it is was only with one person as we ate breakfast? Maybe I should not have tried to speak the truth on this blog with only 10 readers? Maybe I should not try to speak the truth on Ann Arbor reddit because there are only a hundred readers? Maybe I should not try to discover the Truth for myself because it is pointless to try to speak the discovered truth to such small numbers of people. For myself, for 1, for 10, for 100. What is the point of trying to discover the truth when in conversation with such a small number of people, right?

    Generally though, I think you are underestimating the value of this blog. It is a treasure trove of falsehoods and distilled propaganda. I am eternally grateful for its existence. Like HW, I want the content of this blog to live forever. I hope that HW is continuing to document the pages.

    1) “The first charge of reckless homicide is clearly related to the gang fight aspect of the first murder.”

    Can you clarify what you mean by the “gang style” fight? What was Rosenbaum doing immediately before he got shot?

    2)” The intentional homicide of the second murder was clear in that people had stepped back from him before he shot them.”

    Skateboard guy and Glock guy were fleeing? That’s counterfactial and interesting considering you fail to take into account that Kyle was performing his legal “duty to flee” in each of the 3 shootings.

    3) “What was the justification for the subsequent shots fired at others on the street?”

    a) There is very strong evidence to suggest that Kyle did not shoot his gun at anyone after he killed Joseph and circled the car. You are making a foolish assumption.

    b) After Kyle shot skateboard guy and Glock guy he did not shoot his gun at the crowd. You are wrong. Another example that you are a proud member of the MMr Bean community of fact collectors.

    Listen to what the police are saying over the loudspeaker. Tell me they say. We know from the affidavit that Rittenhouse and the journalist violated that police order and went out in to the riot zone. We also know from that affidavit that the journalist criticized the manner Rittenhouse was handling his weapon, two hypotheticals 1) he had the weapon safety off 2) he had the weapon in semi-auto fire mode.
    When Rittenhouse violated the police order he was heading out to RUUMBLE.

    Wobbs, I’ll point out that on ARs there is only semi-auto fire. No other options. Safety on or off, yes, but to be even safer around civilians you would be carrying Isreali style without a round chambered. Unless you felt you’re going to want to shoot faster than you can rack a round. Which doesn’t take that much longer than flipping the safety down. But the inflammatory nature of his excursion in a charged environment was obviously looking for a reason to shoot. Therefore his weapon condition. Semi auto is great for rapid fire, especially with a smooth short reset trigger. How fast can you cycle your finger 0.5″? Pretty fast I’ll bet.

    I’m starting to think the unavailability of guns and ammo is more than market forces and actual collusion with the NRA and the industry to keep the our side from further gunning up now that some of us are finally realizing what we’re dealing with here.

    I was out for a walk with my aussie a few months back and a fella slows down in his car. His window is down and he shouts at me “That’s an ugly ass dog!” and then after a breif pause to cogitate he looks at me and blurts out “Bitch!” to make sure he knew the insult was directed at me. My inner pollack was looking for a rock to smash his fucking back window out, but years of practice kicked in and I took a deep breath. I managed to not even shout back. I was pissed off though…. my lid was flipped.

    I had been reading about Sinead O’Conner’s struggles earlier that week and listening to her music. There is a video of her performing on a british late night show a few months after she ripped up the picture of the Pope on SNL. It is the Prayer of Saint Francis, my confirmation saint.

    So, I started to sing the prayer of st francis in my head at first. And then I started singing it out loud… even as people passed me. I’d exchange smiles and hellos and just keep singing. It is a powerful prayer.

    Portland is the one I meant. He was a counter-protestor that was shot by one of your mostly peaceful protestors. Watch the video. They go “We got a Trumper right here!” Then a man walks up and shoots him down and walks away.

    HW, when someone points out that you are bat-shit crazy, it is NOT gaslighting if it is true and boy is it TRUE! Shew-we!

    What is disturbing though is how widespread this cult mentality is. Worse is the realization that Trump is not the cause but is the symptom and the disease is ultimately white and male supremacy.

    But talking about me being batshit crazy as if it is a fact is a fine example of gaslighting. I put up video evidence and you flat deny it. That is what is crazy.

    An accurate synopsis/ overview of the larger pattern requires a familiarity with the individual cases. My method is to wait for the MMr Bean revolutionaries to highlight individual examples which they think fit into the greater pattern. The problem for you is it usually never seems to work out for you—because you guys are extraordinarily biased half of the time. The other half of the time you are ignorant. You are well versed and faithful to your narrative though. The truth of individual concrete particulars events is subordinated to your narrative.

    Compare the logic on display here with the “logic of bigotry” I have caught you guys employing many times. It’s the same.

    Luckily people are evolving to recognize that the bigot-logic-mode of being is not smart or sustainable. Members of the MMr Bean Revolutionary team are dying off or flipping sides as they pass into more evolved ways of thinking.

    God bless an evolving America

    Faceless Fascist, have you bothered to educate yourself about the laws governing self-defense in Wisconsin?
    We know you are in favor of testosterone driven children roaming our streets with semi-automatic weapons. Should they be given immunity for the mayhem they cause?

    Wobblie,

    1) “have you bothered to educate yourself about the laws governing self-defense in Wisconsin?”

    Yes, a bit.

    2)” We know you are in favor of testosterone driven children roaming our streets with semi-automatic weapons. Should they be given immunity for the mayhem they cause?”

    You can’t know what is not true. You act like you are making a point. It is very strange. I have made zero assertions about Kyle’s legal culpability or innocense beyond me saying that he was seen performing a general “duty to flee”. Feel free to attack that assertion with evidence of you want.

    Do you really think I am going to enter into a conversation about the APPLICATION of laws to the specific acts Kyle committed with you? What would be the point? You have proven that you have no sense of what took place. You have proven that you are incapable of correctly distinguishing 1) the shooter from a cameraman; 2) the shooter from the person shot; 3) not shooting into the crowd versus shooting into a crowd; 4) attacking someone versus fleeing from someone; 5) 3feet versus 30 feet; 6) Running toward versus standing still; 7) performing a duty to flee versus aggressively stalking.

    I think you might be dumb. So no. I will not be discussing the APPLICATION of Wisconsin law with you. Sorry. I might change my mind if you showed even a basic understanding of what happened.

    HW— we are in the high point of an
    Election year with an incumbant president at risk of losing his seat and desperate to win re-election who benefits (according to his own advisor and former campaign manager) from escalating violence and tension in the streets.

    And you do not believe your perception of supposed
    ‘Terror and destruction’ in cities is being manipulated.

    God you are really gullible. Any reasonable person would at least be able to acknowledge that their outrage and fear is being stoked by Trump and his media supporters.

    Even FF with his ‘reasoned’ analytic approach spending hours reviewing video footage only serves to prove how confirmation bias dogs in its heels on false narratives when they are questioned. Logic that is one sided is inherently flawed and can produce well reasoned conclusions that are simply wrong. This has been well demonstrated by social scientists.

    And yes it’s true on both sides of the political divide. I just have yet to hear you all concede any vulnerability to Compelling but false political narratives, while we on the left here openly critique one another at length. Or we used to until this forum became dominated by the corrupted thinking of Trump cult members. I know you all don’t agree on everything but I have rarely heard you question one another. The entire thing is shallow and self-reemfircing.

    Pathetic.

    For example you just said a protestor got shot and killed in Portland. I would say counter-protestor: It was a BLM peaceful protestor who killed the man just for being a Trumper. Your movement is executing Americans over political beliefs. This is not the only one and if you include all acts of violence it becomes a mountain of violent crime.

    “Logic that is one sided is inherently flawed and can produce well reasoned conclusions that are simply wrong.”

    Attack the truth claims that you think are/ or might lead to wrong conclusions then. Your arguments are conclusion heavy with little to no supporting evidence. Your critique of logic is laughable because you almost always employ logical forms without any sort of vetting of investigative CONTENT. Your logic mostly consists of an empty framework. All skeleton. No meat. You share links that undermine the very conclusions you cling to all the time. Yet you are oblivious to it.

    The ironic thing is that, if you re-read, what I wrote here, I am not drawing conclusions in this discussion. I am attempting to establish the facts , that occurred, within a concrete and particular event. And then I am attempting to compare those facts to the specific narrative that is being spun. Wobblie is giving me his narrative of the specific event and he is also giving his evidence for his narrative. I am performing the role of collector. The problem for Wobblie is the facts do not at all lineup with his narrative about this specific event. Likewise your critique of logic being employed ought to be suspect because I am not attempting to draw conclusions about Kyle’s culpability or innocense. I am pointing out that many in the MMr Bean community are deeply confused/ ignorant people. Yet they are faithful to their narrative. And that is a dangerous combo.

    Within this conversation showing I am reaching wrong conclusions would involve you showing Wobblie is not totally full of shit here. Good luck with that.

    Whenever I hear you talk about “logic” I always imagine you passing a bong around in a circle of spaced out friends. Critique of logic dude! Yeah! [gurgle gurgle] That’s deep man! [exhale]

    I have smoked pot less than 10x in my life. My friends do indulge quite often but then everyone does these days. Pot is not a partisan issue. Try again,

    Meanwhile your compatriot here, whom you never criticize, is always stoned and talks about murderous violence like it’s a video game. #logic

    FF– I really cannot be bothered to engage you more deeply. I know that just confirms your bias further but I simply can’t afford the time. There are just not enough miserable lonely and under-engaged people out there to satisfy your need for online engagement.
    You and HW should just talk amongst yourselves.
    I have a chronic illness and if it leaves me on the couch for days/weeks in a row again maybe I’ll circle back around with you on one of your ridiculous takes.
    Feel free to cross your fingers and wish.

    I am not accusing you of being a pot smoker though.

    I am accusing you of over the years demonstrating a pattern of employment of a very low level logic that is the same kind of logic dumb bigots use. I am accusing you of being oblivious to your use of bigot logic whereas it is crystal clear to me and others here.

    I find it humorous when you take it a step further and actually give others lectures on the proper use of logic given your obvious impairment. You simply do not know what you are talking about.

    Those who have seen the video of the Kenosha Police interactions with Rittenhouse, can see the obvious corruption of that force. Baby face Kyle ( it does not look like there is even fuss on that chin) was never asked by LE , “Hey Kid, can I see your Wisconsin fire arms ID. I’m sure your legal, but you look young and this could become a volatile situation “. If LE had done its job, 2 would not be dead and how many now ruined—
    Now imagine Kyle was from the south side of chicago strutting around with a high powered weapon. White privilege? Corrupt police?
