This morning, when asked by the press if President Trump would condemn the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, the young, right wing vigilante charged with killing two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany responded, “The president is not going to weigh in on that.” Later in the day, however, Trump did weigh in on the case. He did not, however, condemn the actions of Rittenhouse. Instead, the President put forward a defense for the murderer, saying that, if he hadn’t shot, once he’d tripped and fallen to the ground, he “probably would have been killed.” What Trump neglected to say, of course, is that, when Rittenhouse was on the ground, in this vulnerable position, he’d already shot and killed one man, and the people approaching him were likely just looking to disarm an active shooter, and not kill him. [None of the men approaching Rittenhouse were armed.]

One of Donald Trump’s supporters appears to have traveled across state lines with an assault weapon with the intention of confronting those protesting police violence. And, as a result, two men — Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber — are now dead. And not only has Donald Trump not condemned the act, but he’s making the case for self-defense, and tweeting positively about his followers rising up and “taking matters into their own hands” in Democratic-run cities across America… As Congressman Adam Schiff just recently said, Donald Trump “fuels, condones and enables this kind of violence.” And, as we were discussing earlier, he does so very deliberately, as it allows him to instill fear, increase the chaos around us, and position himself as a “law and order” candidate.
When neo-Nazis marched on Charlottesville, killing a peaceful protester, Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides.”⁰
Now, one of his supporters murdered two protesters and he insinuates it was self-defense.Trump fuels, condones and enables this kind of violence. https://t.co/R8n5AuCJAn

In related news, Donald Trump also declined to condemn the actions of his followers in Portland, who were yesterday shooting paintball guns and spraying pepper spray at protesters.

I am not prepared. How does one prepare for an incumbent who’s running against the election itself, cheers on vigilante violence, and is enabled by a party that stopped believing in democracy around the time Obama was president?
“One of Donald Trump’s supporters (1) traveled across state lines (2)with an automatic weapon with the (3) intention of confronting those protesting police violence”
SOME ARE SAYING Maynard does not know what he is talking about.
MM,
You write as if there is something wrong about withholding condemnation until the full facts are known. And you have repeated the same lie that has been shown to be willful deception.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/03/21/trump_didnt_call_neo-nazis_fine_people_heres_proof_139815.html
Are you conceding both the high ground and the upcoming election?
Nobody’s fully prepared. The Constitution doesn’t prepare us for a Russian agent in the White House supported by a morally bankrupt GOP.
But the military is representative of the nation and they clearly see his absolute betrayal of The Constitution and his utter dereliction of duty. His bootlickers know nothing about duty. Be prepared to eliminate those bootlickers as our duty to The Constitution and the future of humanity.
First by resisting the instigation to violence, then by any means necessary should they succeed at cheating the election again.
Trump has adopted EOS’s advice. Trumps new science adviser Dr. Atlas believes if enough of our children get the virus we will achieve “herd immunity” you know like native americans developed “herd immunity” to smallpox. Since Trumps strategy for dealing with the virus is mass death we need distractions
What does a TV neuro-biologist know about public health strategies—as much as EOS.

properly constituted legal authorities have charged the gangbanger with 2 felony murders. Glad to see the President not supporting legal authority. MAGA
Like our great video experts here the leader is able to determine the truth by watching a couple of cell phone videos.
Wobblie bases his judgments on what he saw. Unfortunately for Wobblie he has demonstrated many times that he is not very good at picking up clues. In this case wobblie has demonstrated he does not know the difference between: a journalist and shooter, a shooter and the person getting shot, 3 feet and 30 feet, standing still and running toward, chasing and getting chased, not shooting into a crowd and shooting into a crowd.
Frosted Flakes, what are you objecting to in the following quote:
“One of Donald Trump’s supporters traveled across state lines with an automatic weapon with the intention of confronting those protesting police violence.”
Isn’t everything stated here a known fact?
His concern may have been that the post said “automatic” weapon instead of “assault” weapon. That has been changed.
The strategy is: 1) spin a narrative that does not line of with facts but that enough people believe; 2) pressure prosecutors to over-charge; 3) riot when the over charged person is set free.
Wobblie is a useful fool in the execution of that strategy.
What a headline:
Trump Says he Spoke to Jacob Blake’s Family Pastor.
Blake’s Family Says They Don’t Have a Pastor
Keep swinging faceless fascist. As Ive said more than once I am relying upon the District Attorney. Is the leader supporting law in Kenosha? Has he said anything about the felony warrants for murder? Or is he egging on fact-less fantasies to further his reelection?
Vague Guy,
No. Those are not known facts. Maynard would be wise to insert “SOME PEOPLE SAY” because he is repeating other people’s assumptions.
Some people are also saying:
1)Kyle traveled to Kenosha (20 minutes from where he lives) because his job is in Kenosha and he was working earlier that day.
2) Kyle did not transport a weapon across state lines because it was a gun that belonged to someone who lives in Wisconsin. Note: the gun he was carrying in Kenosha is not the same gun he is posing with in other earlier photos. JBroni can confirm if you do not believe me.
3)Kyle’s INTENT is unknown. Pretending otherwise demonstrates a very very low level understanding of what we can know about the motivations of others. We do have quite a few clues that he was at least, in part, there to “protect property” and offer first aid—because he is caught on video doing those things and also caught on video saying he is there to do those things.
Yes dummy you have repeated that line. But you also used the charges as some sort of evidence that your interpretations of events were not wacky as fuck. Everybody who read the thread knows you were making truth claims about what happened and taking the extra step of speculating on how Wisconsin law would be applied to WHAT YOU THOUGHT HAPPENED.
Didn’t Donald Trump go on FOX yesterday and speculate on WHAT HE THOUGHT HAPPENED? Did you write a nasty letter to him as well?
Maynard,
After you do the responsible thing and edit your article in those places. You should ask EOS what he means exactly when he said you “repeated the same lie”.
We are here to take you by your baby hand and teach you how to be a responsible political blogger and honest thinker. We are offering you a very valuable service free of charge.
Skateboards are not lethal weapons.
For those who are unaware of the Leaders new goto science advisor. You will see why the Leader needs distractions to scare suburbanites. The 2.5 million dead the Leaders “plan” will bring will primarily among the “essential” workers who (as we see in the meat packing plants) will be forced to work, and die for the Leader.
Many of them will be poc, so we will need many more Rittenhouse’s to keep the slaves in line.

WHAT DID TRUMP REALLY SAY?
“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”
Wobblie,
Our justice system considers a person innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That a District Attorney charges a person with a crime is not evidence of guilt. Civics 101.
And we have a President weighing in on the side of the accused murderer. Kind of like his pardons. If you support the Leader the laws are not so important. Evil prosecutors going after very fine folks no doubt.
Your a big fan of Dr. Death, you finally have some one who thinks like you who has the ear of the Leader.
Isnt being a nation of sycophants so much better than being a nation built on meritocracy and proven competence.
Except Republicans are the party of law and order. Convict the guilty and then sentence them.
Larry Kudlow, the Leaders chief economic advisor. BA from Rochester College is his academic background. Junior analyst for New York Fed, gave him enough creds to be a political hack during Reagan Admin. Cocaine and alcohol ruined that future. For the 17 years prior to becoming Trumps yes man, he was a rightwing columnist and entertainer. He is the man who tells the Leader yes when the leader has an idea for making some money.
According to the Heritage Foundation, Dr. Atlas’s prior employer, his expertise is, “ Dr. Atlas investigates the impact of government and the private sector on access, quality, pricing, and innovation in health care and is a frequent policy advisor to government and industry leaders in these areas. “.
The Leaders chief National Security Advisor O’Brian has been out of action since the end of July when he got the virus.
There does not seem to be anyone left around the Leader who has any demonstrated competence in the areas they advise, but the Leader knows its all about ratings, so he needs no competent advise. MAGA
Oh Puh-leez. The GOP is so NOT the party of law and order. They are the party of “law and order” for black people and women and even poor white folks but white men get to do whatever the fuck they want. Just look at how FF defends any white men who might have committed a crime as long as they are Trumpers. They are the hypocrite party!
Mark Dice: The Truth about Kyle Rittenhouse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oQlnihfxhU
Cassandra,
I do not stand with the 3 white people who attacked Kyle. I do not stand with the white guy who killed a person in Portland. I do not stand by the decision/ law that leads to a 17 year at a riot with a firearm. I stand with David Dorne. I have asked for justice for Floyd. I have criticized the incompetent white cops who shot Blake. I stand with Rand Paul in his attempt to propose a bill that would have prevented Breonna’s death. I think no knock warrants should only be granted in rare circumstances
I thought Cassandra of all people would understand that many different things can be true at the same.
If there is a specific instance where you think I should not be defending some particular person then you should give your reasons. You have tried that before though and it never works out for you, right?
Remember Sandmann. Say his name, Cassandra. Say it. :)
Nice edit MMouth.
It APPEARS MMouth is not concerned with truth.
Ff supports Trump but believes that any misstatement from a Liberal constitutes a lie and nullifies the legitimacy of anything they say.
Imagine if he applied the same standard to conservatives especially the (Supposed) conservative in chief ?
FF your double standard is showing. When called on that, you resort to ad hominem attacks. Weak stuff.
Over 20,000 verified lies from Trump to date:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/
First hand account of the murder of Aaron J. Danielson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be4YP2qch3w
Regarding Rittenhouse why are you trying to falsely portray it as not a self-defense situation? He put out the dumpster fire and they chased him. Rosenbaum the aggressive ex-con tried to take his gun. I think if an angry mob was chasing me with bad intent and tried to take my weapon I’d be a bit reticent to allow that to happen. What do you expect? Attacking someone with a semi-automatic rifle is probably about as smart as deciding to fight the police.
Jean,
Regarding edit choices of “some people say” and “appears”:
I don’t think MMouth’s recent edits are corrections of “misstatements” though. I also don’t think the edits are corrections. He is intentionally choosing to use a his mealy mouth to forward his false- narrative in a way which allows him to also escape culpability for misinforming people. He is using those phrases because he is trying to escape responsibility for truth claims he wants to make but can not back up with evidence.
If you, Jean, catch the other side spreading misinformation or making truth claims that do not matchup to the evidence then you should point it out. What specific criticism that I have mounted do you disagree with? Feel free to argue your side. I just don’t see the point in you saying I don’t criticize both sides equally as if it matters. For all you know I am on a conservative blog fighting for medical for all and cheaper college. Worry about the quality of your own arguments. Whether or not FF has a balanced attack is in no way relevant to the quality of your arguments. Your arguments suck ass! Worry about yourself. You should be very worried.
FF, “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.”
Where did the shot to the groin and the fatal shat to the back come? What did happen just prior to Rittenhouse “fleeing”? What weapon did red scarf have?
Gangbanger and all you want is to find ways to justify violence in the street. The Leader is now committed to undermining the legal authority in Kenosha. We need more Rittenhouses on the streets of our cities MAGA
Jean,
I think your “your double standard is showing again” line is unbelievably dumb. You have said that line like 50 times. You seem proud of that line. And you seem to think that line causes me to want to call people names because it strikes a nerve. LOL!!!!! When you say that line I feel embarrassed for you. So cringy.
Apologist for gun thugs for Trump is what HW, EOS and FF should call themselves
Let’s do a comparative exercise. The Austin BLM shooter immediately notified police and turned himself in. The police made a finding that he acted in self-defense. Some people were upset, but hey that is how things are in Texas.
The Kenosha murder does not turn himself in. His approaching LE with his hands up was not surrendering, but him returning to his side of the lines after his Rambo escapade. He did not want to be hit by friendly fire. The Kenosha murderer does mot inform police that he has shot 3 people on the street. He leaves the scene of the crimes and flees to Illinois. That looks like the acts of an innocent man.
Or maybe he did tell the cops and they just let him walk without so much as an arrest and investigation. But the Leader wants to chime in undermining legitimate authority. MAGA
Wobblie,
1) The first shot was from an unknown gunman shooting a pistol. That unknown gunman can be seen running behind Joseph as Joseph is chasing Kyle. The unknown gunman can be seen shooting the first shot but his identity is a mystery. I have speculated that it might be Glock guy. The two times I mentioned it I always expressed it as a speculation. There are a couple of clues that give me enough confidence to speculate about it. I feel pretty much 50/50 it was him. It can definitely be someone else it might be someone on Kyle’s side. I am 100% confident that the first shot came from the mystery gunman.
2) Kyle shot Joseph very quickly 3-4 times. It was extremely close range. To me it looked like Joseph was twisting and falling as he tried to wrestle the gun from Kyle. It is not hard to imagine Kyle hit him in the back given those elements. Joseph was shirtless on his back as he died. If a bullet went through his back it did not go through to the front. The medics said “where is the hole”. Further Joseph did not stumble or seem effected from the first shot. (That is what you are getting at right?) what you are insinuating is a possibility. What does that have to do with Kyle is the question?
3). I say with 100% certainty that the shots as Kyle ran away were shots fired in the air by a rifle. 100% not Kyle shooting. I do not know if the rifleman was BLM, Antifa or militia. In the drone shots from Brandon Beamon you can make out the third shooter. He had his back turned away. Rifle up. As he shot straight in the air and ran away.
You seem to have a theory. Say it.
As far as I know Joseph did not have a weapon. He was 36 year old man chasing a 17 year old through a parking lot and who appeared to attack/ make contact with Kyle after Kyle heard a shot and ran out of room to flee anymore. Was he trying to take Kyle’s gun ? He did say “shoot me” earlier and did not seem afraid of Kyle at all when filmed earlier. Rather, Joseph appeared to be targeting Kyle specifically in the earlier video. Targeting the person who also happened to be the youngest and shortest guy in the group of gunmen.
If you have a theory, then just say it.
Bottom line: There are enough facts out there about the shooting that YOUR SIDE ought to want to slow their roll on making accusations. Your side is not wise though. Your side is moronic. Be as ignorant as you want I guess….
The coroner makes no mention of the victim being shot by different weapons. There is no investigation looking for a second shooter. Did the shooter inform the police, you thought he called them. They (whom ever they are) say he called a friend (the guy he got the gun from ?) We are in agreement that the shooter was in illegal possession of the weapon ?
Did the police know he was the shootrer and conspired to get him across the border? White Lives Matter More—MAGA.
I think I mispoke. The third gunman shot his rifle when Kyle jogged around the cars. Kyle then checked on Joseph. Kyle is reported to have called his friend Dominick. He then ran away. Sorry. I had the order wrong a bit.
Again, if you have a theory, just say it.
Wobblie,
I actually did not have a strong opinion about who he called. I was trying to concede points to you because I wanted to narrow in on more important facts with you. I assumed you thought Kyle called the police. I assumed you thought that if Kyle called the police that was evidence of the police coordinating with Kyle. At that stage of fact collecting I did not see that fact as important enough to spend time on…
It is reported he called his friend Dominick. What the fuck is your point?
If he is proven to be illegal possession of a firearm then he should get in trouble. My understanding is that there is a possibility it was legal for him to be carrying a long rifle. It is my understanding politifact really put out a misleading fact check which a lot of people used as a source…. I don’t know and I don’t think it is important enough to worry about. Was the Portland shooter jaywalking right as he shot the victim? Who gives a fuck, man. If you have some legal argument if he was not legal to carry then good for you, dude. Have fun with it!
In terms of the possible culpability of the police force if it shown that they gave him special treatment—yeah—that seems like a reasonable question. I support investigating the police! The police are often fucking corrupt. Some things do seem fishy around police decisions but that is going way beyond the scope of my knowledge about this case
Do you have a theory, say it. If you have knowledge to share then share it. My god.
I would recommend that you stop insinuating that Kyle is a thug though. You sound like a creepy old man who hates young people.
“There is no investigation looking for a second shooter.”
No. As far as you know an investigation has not been publicly announced. Big difference!
Are you questioning that there was 3 shooters? That the first shot was from another mystery gunman? Just tell me straight up because I will stop talking with you if you have not accepted that basic fact yet. To be clear: There is 100% certainty that there were 3 shooters in the first parking lot shooting. If you don’t know that it does not make it less true. Let me know if you do not accept that as fact so I can stop wasting my time with you.
Compare circumstances in the Rittenhouse shootings to the Reinoehl shooting; two contemporary and comparable events.
Quick look over there.
Did he call someone and say, I just killed one of them? Did he turn himself into the police.? You want to point out all the prior interactions. Do you know all of them ? Pretty typical among gangbangers for some one else to provide the weapon. What “Militia” is he a member of? What prior interactions over the prior days Had the “militia” gang had with the BLM ? You dont know shit but what you see on youtube. You dont know what any witnesses told the DA. But hey the Leader has spoken and I can see what it will take to be a success in Trumps america. WLMM. MAGA
He did turn himself in the next morning I heard. Not true?
Using minors to carry out hits is a common criminal methodology. I wonder what other investigations are needed? How corrupt are the Kenosha police? We see video of their supportive behavior to one gang vs another. Does Trump care?
No he was arrested by Illinois State Police on a fugitive warrant. Turning himself in would have meant driving back to Kenosha where he was a wanted fugitive.
Wobblie the Lying Dork
https://abc7chicago.com/kenosha-shooting-protest-kyle-rittenhouse-video/6393073/
The night of the shooting, Rittenhouse walked past Kenosha police, hands in the air, but was ignored. He drove home, across state lines, to Antioch and turned himself in on a first-degree intentional homicide warrant from Wisconsin the next day.
Ok. That is a theory. Thanks Wobblie. You think Kyle is literally part of an actual organized crime syndicate that involves the police. Is that right? And the people he killed were part of a planned hit job. Is that right? Lifeguarding was a cover story.
That explains why he is fighting extradition. I have no idea. Perhaps the legal authorities in Kenosha want to find out. I think the President acted very Presidential weighing in on a crime where the faceless fascist knows more than him. WLMM. MAGA
We hear lots of gunfire. We see one person seeming to surrender. What do the police do ? Perhaps the DA wants to know why he is having to extradite, when he is seen talking with the police within a minute of him killing two people. The lack of curiosity —well caught on video right FF, raises lots more questions. If he is innocent why is he resisting extradition?
Dueling used to be a common custom. Our great President Jackson was a renowned duelist. Our vice-President Burr killed Hamilton in a duel. The Oregon laws on self defense specifically prohibit self defense as a legal defense in dueling. The Wisconsin laws do in a more in direct way. I suspect we are seeing the 21 century example. The videos clearly show the challenge, “ kill me” ( is that not right FF). Kyles heading down the street after the police had ordered it cleared, was Kyle heading to the duel. Kyle won the duel and the pice who facilitated the match helped him escape.
If I was a District Attorney I would seriously be looking at these set of facts. What do you think my Faceless Fascist?
We have seen this play book before.
Im so glad we have a President who gets all the facts before he speaks about public disturbances aren’t you HW? I am glad we have such a deliberate Leader who thinks about the common good before he speaks. WLMM MAGA
If I was a District Attorney I would want to know did my Police force facilitate a duel between two rival civic gangs. Whether you call yourself the Kenosha Militia or the Blackstone Rangers, you are a gang. For all I know this was a gang initiation gone bad. Would not be the first. I am so glad we have a President who thinks of the common good first.
I was wrong earlier. You guys should form the “Bring back Public Dueling supporters For Trump. “
Damn it. All this thinking about did the Kenosha police facilitate public dueling, distracted me from one of the Kenosha cops shooting some one 7 times in the back. Which has distracted me from

Frosted Flakes you know Im slow witted. Thanks for keep hitting me in the head to make me explore the obvious. Im sure the DA is at least as smart as you.
If I was a Prosecutor I would want to know why I have a shoot out with two dead and one maimed. When there are 150 or so Law Enforcement personal on the scene. Why was their a breakdown of public order? What caused people to start shooting? The perpetrator of all this maim flees the state. But wait their is video of him interacting with police. Is there more interaction not on video? Lots of questions to answer dont you think? Im glad the President wants to weigh in arnt you ?
To those who disparage us who vent on MM.com , it is almost as satisfying as baying at the moon or howling off my front porch.
Dueling is mainly illegal (I don’t know about Texas) but it is not something that is likely to disappear. Gangbangers of various descriptions engage in the practice. High class people engage in duels. Honor is not often discussed in the 21st century. But many men (particularly adolescent males) are motivated by those (quant) notions ( duty first honor will follow, the two finger Polish army salute puts them in order) . I am sure both parties were defending some notion of honor Were either putting duty first ) people take there first amendment rights to extreme.
I wonder about LE that might be complicit. Does anyone think we should investigate?
Most people dont know, but take the peace sign or the victory sign and use it as a salute and you are using the Polish salute of duty first, honor will follow.
The notion was your duty was to the collective, the commons, and they will honor you.
FF all i can say is sorry. Thank you for your relentless questioning. I am sure you want to find the truth. I apologize for my many insults.
Are you going to explore the consequences of these connections, or now just move on.
Is it your strategy to try to bury it with random bullshit when you get embarrassed?
Not at all. You thought Rittenhouse gave himself up. Are you straight on that now? Inquiring minds want to know, dont we FF?
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/antifa-hunter-daniel-mcmahon-florida-prison-racist-threats/
We now know what may have prompted the “kill me” challenge. The “improper” way in which Rittenhouse handled his weapon was him pointing it at protesters as if to shoot them. That got Foster killed in Austin.
I was taught by my father (a firearms expert) you never point a weapon at a person unless you intend to shoot them.
Wobblie, your dad was correct. When you introduce firearms into conflict situation the resolution options typically narrow to kill or be killed.
“Rode does not own Rode’s Camera Shop. However, he does own the property, located at 2204 Roosevelt Road in Kenosha, the site of Rode’s Camera Shop.”
From the same article.
I posted a news article stating he turned himself in the next morning. He is on video trying to tell the cops right away. You need to get your mind straight and not worry about me.
“We now know what may have prompted the “kill me” challenge. The “improper” way in which Rittenhouse handled his weapon was him pointing it at protesters as if to shoot them.”
Prove it.
Wobblie KNOWS he has a theory about it. What more do you want?
Simple question. is Rittenhouse fighting extradition? If he surrendered why is he in a juvenile facility in Illinois? He is wanted for murder in Wisconsin.
FF what is your theory? Why do they have a murderer warrant out for him ? Evil corrupt prosecutor? What is your theory?
“If he surrendered why is he in a juvenile facility in Illinois?”
Not too bright, it’s true.
We know HW has a hard time separating fact and fiction. FF did Rittenhouse surrender to the Kenosha Police? Did he tell them he had just “ventilated” (I think that was HWs phrase about Foster) three folks back there on the street? Did the police say, no problem go on home, no need to investigate?
Fact or Fiction FF?
I don’t know. If you have a compelling theory state your theory. If you have some compelling facts that support your compelling theory then state those facts. I am still not sure what your theory is exactly. I am not sure I care to be honest. But by all means if you think you have something of interest then post it and explain it.
You are acting weird.
He went right up to them and tried to talk to them directly after the shooting. All this shit is on video. I don’t know what you think you are going to accomplish by spraying nonsense all over.
Fact or fiction he told the police what happened and they sent him on his way?
The umbrella man who got the rioting going In Minneapolis has been IDed as a white nationalist member of the Hells Angels. Fact or Fiction?
They told him to get off the street. Why don’t you actually watch all the vids you can find with the footage like I do so you can know what you are talking about?
You don’t like the Minnie officer’s ex claiming it was him? She recognized him and swore that was her mask he was wearing.
Wobblie,
We already discussed the black umbrella man. What did I say in that thread?
You are pretending you are exposing some reality/possibility I am not aware of or am denying. The problem with that tactic is you are being counter factual again. The counter factual implied truth claim is that I have denied the possibility that the black umbrella man was a cop. I thought the evidence was compelling. I read about it a bit. I was curious about pizza box man too. I pointed it out to people as a story to track. If you have more to add then please add to the story. Have you been tracking the story? Share your facts! Not sure what else to tell you.
You seem to have an all encompassing theory which explains the violence. State it. Provide evidence. People love that shit! Offer your research to us. At this point I think almost anything is possible. Everything seems possible except for stuff like the truth claim that Kyle shot Joseph while Joseph was just standing there from 30 feet away. :)
Do you see what I did there?
My guess is we are never going to hear about Wobblies Grand theory. He likes to just insinuate he knows something others do not. Why though?
Maybe he is following R anon.
There is no R anon. That was an honest to goodness larp.
R = Renegade
Who is Renegade? Hint: Timberwolf, Eagle, Evergreen, etc.
I was doing some thing productive.
I want to know the facts FF. Did Rittenhouse tell the Kenosha Police what he had done and they sent him on his way? Many people are like HW, and think this is what happened. Do we know that FF?
You want to point out all the ways other people are responsible for the deaths, is that the determination the police made after hearing Rittenhouses explanation?
Why do you suppose they need to extradite him from Illinois—or is that another of my delusions?
What are the facts FF, Im sure HW and others will listen.
Im an old man who cant remember to zip up his fly half the time, I dont know or cant remember what :) means.
Does anyone else notice that a 17 year old who shot the persons attacking him is getting more hate that a grown man who shot a 5 year old neighbor playing in his own yard?
They have never even heard about what you are talking about EOS.
Maynard migh not even read any news sources. He might writes his posts from a script that is emailed to him. He is either paid. Or somebody has Kompromat on him. Or he is a moron. There are no other explanations.
EOS maybe you know. Did Rittenhouse tell the police what happened and they sent him home? The Fearless Factfinder has left the room on this one, but you seem knowledgeable on this subject.
The murder of the child is in jail. You surely knew that, even I remember that. I dont remember a chorus of folks looking for ways to proclaim his innocence , do you?
What were the police doing letting a child roam the streets ov Kenosha with a high powered rifle EOS, maybe you know?
I think the kid who shot and murdered the 14 year old at the Summit party store last year was 15 or so. The story I heard was that it was over a girl.
Did Rittenhouse turn himself in like an innocent victim would have ? Did he tell the police about the attack that he had just been a victim of ?
What are the facts?
Rittenhouse vigilantes come in all ages

I turn on the tube to try to escape into some mindlessness and Cabaret comes on. I am glad I am not alone.
