If you have what it takes, watch the Twitter videos of the 17 year old kid in Kenosha Wisconsin, who justifiably shot and killed two Antifa/BLM members,and wounded another while defending himself against two savage attacks. He was a member of a hastily formed group of armed Kenosha residents united to aid the police and protect neighborhoods and businesses against the rioters. He is now charged with 1st Degree Homicide.
This 17 year old was tasked to defend what appears to be a boarded-up supermarket--alone. His group needs to read the mil-spec on Security and Small-Unit tactics! A few vets regardless of age and condition might be of some help here. Platoon Leaders anyone?
This small skinny little 17 year-old white kid was standing alone in front of a store with what appears to be an AR-15 slung over his shoulder. The gathering mob intending this store no good at all, surrounded him jeering and then attacked. Unslinging his rifle he tried to get away but was cornered by the store wall and a dumpster,then he was struck and knocked down by a white Antifa thug in a head band. The mob was on him now and he fired striking the man who had knocked him down in the head. He did not die immediately and the 17 year old shooter tried to stop his bleeding.
The screaming mob was back now, some with rifles, and the kid began running down the street with the mob in hot pursuit. He had slung his rifle again, but he could not outrun them and was overtaken. This time he was knocked to the pavement by a skateboard. He rolled, and while receiving kicks and punches unslung his rifle and fired twice at his assailants killing one and wounding another. Again the mob scatters shrieking for someone to call the police
Up and running again down the middle of the street he was met by a fleet of police, and National Guard in at least six armored vehicles. Yes, Antifa/BLM had called 911. (Poor babies where is a defunded policeman when you need him!?) But where were they when the kid was being attacked and stores being burned. Ask the Governor of Wisconsin and the Mayor of Kenosha. They are the ones who should be facing charges, not the 17 year old kid.
It's sadly true my Brothers and Sisters that we live "In interesting Times" and are facing a Valley Forge decision in our lives. Are we going to become the easy Soldiers of Summer or the hardened Soldiers of Winter; because either way we are going to be soldiers. Our enemy will simply allow us no other choice. No Matter who wins this election the Marxist/Communist International is coming to a neighborhood near you and I.
The "Useful Idiots"; the Liberal "Intelligentsia", the twisted entertainment media,the Fake News media, and most of all the swamp politicians that thought they could swim with the Great Red Shark then tell them to "go away and play nicely" will find their backs to a wall with bewildered faces looking into the loaded barrels of their destiny.
Like a man once said,:Freedom Isn't Free.
Are you comfortable where you are typing this from? Cause this kid’s facing prison for life.
until it’s a real war where I can’t get arrested and spend the rest of my life in prison I’m not shooting anybody and I’m certainly not showing up in any liberal City to die or go to prison for it.
Stand Up
The Kyle Rittenhouse Brigade
He was far from skinny and he was with a group of adults to begin with. I have no idea how he got separated. Feel free to join your state militia. I think just about every state has one.
The next step is to organize and combat the fake news already being pumped out about the case, and the now common tactic of attacking conservatives, and in this case people who try to stop rioting and arson, with bogus legal charges.
Is there anything to the claim I read that Kyle is from Illinois, not Kenosha? Or is that just more fog and smoke?
I watched the videos, he was justified in his self defense.
Except he wasn’t a resident of Kenosha. And whose AR-15 was he using?
There might be someone else out there facing some serious legal trouble over this.
Our state militia is a joke. Maybe they do some good helping out with forest fires, but that’s about it.
“This 17 year old was tasked to defend what appears to be a boarded-up supermarket..”
That does appear to be the case. I wonder when if we will ever learn the name of his commanding officer who tasked him to defend the supermarket?
He was 17 - not sure what he was doing with a long gun.
Secondly - He was out during a curfew. Also put himself in the position to get into trouble.
That said, he was retreating. He was assaulted a couple of times even before he tripped in the middle of the street and assaulted by a couple of dudes.
The 17 year old will have a long road through the court system and will likely dole out $20K or more in defense.
He lives 12 miles away across the state line, apparently.
There are plenty of domestic enemies called antifa and democrats in our country.
JoMa
Oh. The implication was that he had traveled far.
I wonder what group he was with that he wound up in Kenosha. You know the State prosecutors are going to make a big deal of that.
As far as the actual video of events, it was a clear case of self-defense. They would have either beaten him to death or close to it and taken his rifle. Maybe they would have shot him with it, too.
Tasked? By who?
It’s true as per news reports but he only lives 12 miles away from Kenosha. I’m rural and the closest town with a store is 18 miles away.
He was supposed to be the medic for the group he was with and carried the rifle because some of the rioters had firearms. The adults he was with should be ashamed of themselves tonight.
There was a group, possibly militia, that were chatting with the cops. The cops gave them some of their extra water, thanked them etc. I’m not 100% sure if he was with that group or another.
How many shots were fired in the first encounter?
I counted about 8 or 9.
He’s not a resident of Kenosha. He lives in Antioch IL.
L
And why he was out there to begin with.

Some of the lyrics from the song “Silent Running” by Mike + The Mechanics
“...Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stand still...”

That young man is someone’s son and his parents have every right to be proud of him, IMHO. Worried but proud. He was willing to go “stand in the gap” “while we stand still”. I’m sure the Kenosha DemocRATS will persecute him to high heaven but I’m sure he will get good legal representation and will be found to have acted in self defense.
As soon as I see a fundraising effort for him, I’ll contribute. He deserves it!
