Southern Poverty Law Center senior fellow Eric Ward said Friday, after Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty of all charges brought against him for the shootings that killed two men and injured a third, that the defendant was an "armed vigilante," and attributed the violence that engulfed Kenosha, WI during August 2020 to law enforcement.
Rittenhouse was acquitted Friday of first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide after he had been on trial for shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz during an August 2020 riot in Kenosha, WI.
"One cannot cast blame upon the irresponsible actions of individuals without acknowledging the catastrophic failure of local law enforcement to uphold the public good," Ward said in a statement, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
"Law enforcement unwillingness to uphold its mission of non-politicized policing led to a volatile environment where an armed vigilante was allowed to parade a weapon, engage racial justice protestors and depart the scene freely after having discharged a weapon that took the lives of two individuals and injured a third," he continued.
Ward also alleged that "biased policing" resulted in a "lack of accountability," which he claims signaled a tolerance of political violence. He further stated that Rittenhouse was able to leave the place in which the shootings occurred without intervention because of the "political bias of law enforcement."
SPLC, which tracks anti-government extremist groups, has previously been called out for describing mainstream conservative organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council as "hate groups."
Aren’t these the very same assholes who shriek “defund the police”?
The problem was that the three amigo felons were not still safely stuffed in jail.
In a way yes.
If they police had been out in force on the first evening and had arrested the first half dozen people making trouble the riots would have stopped.
That is how it works. Hit hard right at the beginning and you will have less trouble down the road.
After all, it is the way the democrats do it and they rarely have to deal with unruly republicans.
the actual vigilantes were skateboard guy and shot in arm guy.
they came after Kyle to punish him for shooting pedophile guy.
Something just occurred to me...and I suspect that the moderators might want to delete this post...what are the chances of this kid being murdered by some crazed MSLSD viewer? Seems to me that the chances are greater than 0%...maybe even a lot greater.
Nellie Bowles: “The reality that brought Kyle Rittenhouse into the streets was one we reporters were meant to ignore.”
The New York Times was engaged in a cover-up of the Kenosha riots. Nellie Bowles no longer works for the New York Times because her story about the Kenosha truth was buried by the Times's editors.
Had Evers done his job and listened to Trump, none of this would have happened
Democrats wanted the riots to win an election
Southern Marxist Illegal Center needs to be shut down as a racist hate group,
He’s not safe anywhere because of media lies
Yes...
And quite frankly, they’ve been very happy to have the police
and cities allow them to riot, loot, fire-bomb, and kill.
It’s when their panty-waste individuals are dying, they get
a little misty...
These turned out to be felon-festes... The three people Kyle
had to kill, were each at least one time losers. Some of the
violations had been pretty elevated too.
Actually the headline is in fact correct. Rittenhouse was indeed an armed vigilante. And the Kenosha police are in fact to be blamed for the killings.
There is little to no justice left in America. The cops in most cities will not or cannot do their job so it’s up to normal individuals to protect themselves. And that’s exactly what Kyle did. If that makes him a vigilante, so be it.
I think you misunderstand what a vigilante is. Go look up the definition. The thugs that attacked Rittenhouse are by no means vigilantes.
That nightmare scenario might just very well happen. Which would result in Kyle being identified as a martyr.
Would that be the catalyst that would finally set us conservatives in motion? Would that be the straw that breaks the camels back?
Probably not.
I started despising them a decade OR SO AGO WHEN THEY STARTED LABELING RELIGIOUS GROUPS AS HATE GROUPS BECAUSE THEY DENOUNCED HOMOSEXUALITY.
And I’m more of an agnostic than anything.
(I accidentally had caps on above)
You’d think an enterprising young reporter might want to research how the deceased yutes made a living, as being a felon tends to limit well-paying legit opportunities. Were they locals or Soros’s bussed-in goons for hire? What are the chances they were living off of Visa Gift cards?
Exposing Soros’ “Goons-For-Hire Network” would be a sensational story.

A true vigilante goes out seeking someone onto whom he can wreak punishment for an already-existing injustice. Simply preparing for one's own self defense, or for kin or similarly-disposed potential victims that are not capable of defending themselves are not vigilantes.
How many millions have armed and trained themselves to be ready for whatever baddies may try to bring? They are not vigilantes!
What you're falling for is the leftist set-up to be able to smear potential heroes like KR.
Love that FR support graphic. Definitely shows the need for an AR with 30 Rnd Mags.
wait until the Mexican drug gangs enter their world
