Saw the video, was watching live stream last night, I saw the followup parsing today. I still don’t know all the facts. I don’t know what led to him be running away in the first place, I don’t know what started the altercation. I don’t know why he was there alone, he had buddies before and then was alone. Besides I wanna know how he got there and whom he knew there and what led him to go there.
There is many questions I have. Innocent until proven Guilty is the rule.
He has been arrested, couple people dead. I will wait before attempting to make him a hero. I am sure the other side will have a few martyrs now to raise up.
And that is all on this subject I will say until I learn more.
As for the media, this is Charlottesville on Steroids.
Supposedly, he was from out of state, so it could appear he went looking for trouble. I would not convict him, but if he did come from elsewhere, it looks bad, even if he acted in self-defense.
He's from Antioch, IL which is where he was arrested.
Yes but the militia has organization, ranks etc. It’s true that pretty much all “official” militias do emergency preparedness type of work to assist police but most are also ex-military and are organized as such. Many also do military type maneuver training, even if on the side.
Then of course there are unofficial militias but from what I’ve heard, the FBI tends to infiltrate most of those.
One interesting aspect of the George Zimmerman case is that he was protected from civil liability under the broad definition of a “volunteer” under Florida’s laws governing condominium associations and HOAs. So even though he was charged in a criminal case, there was no question under the law about his role as a citizen protecting property that didn’t necessarily belong to him.
Recent events have led citizens to conclude the police are not going to keep the peace and are more concerned of a social media shit storm then they are of people lives and property being lost.
There is no law any more to me its apparent why he was out there people don't want their town burnt down.
Antifa BLM turn up the heat enough the politicians and the police back down.
But I guess we have to wait and get democrats permission to start fighting back
And for for this instance I refer to the Holy Bible and the story of David and Goliath.
Lots of sheep on this thread- I see your attraction.
That video puts Kyle on very firm ground. Don’t be surprised if this video is introduced by the defense at his trial or maybe even compels the government to drop all charges.
1,200 Antifa/BLM marched through my small town twice and were met by armed men standing before their homes and businesses. The marches passed through quickly and quietly.
Let’s hope a defense fund is formed. I’m sure it will oft contributed to.
Watch Twitter video.
Do all of this, but prepare for physical mob violence against your neighborhood, your family, and yourself.
Maybe tough decisions for all of us here on FR.
I wonder if it is just talk and blustering and people will give in and submit when forced into a corner. It is different when you are shooting at people or being shot at.
My wife and have pondered the question... should we just hide out or join if and when the SHTF. There is safety in numbers.
Don’t know where he was born, but he did join a local group and Illinois is a long commute.

Yep that is where we are now. Unfortunately those protecting property with force are going to be thrown in jail.
It reminds me of the pawn shop owner in Minn. that shot a looter and the police come, arrest him, and while they are dragging him to the patrol car looters are streaming into the buisness to finish the looting job.
It is like we are living in the twilight zone.
Amen!
Please enlighten us.
Antioch is 20 miles from Kenosha. My understanding is that he lives somewhere in between about 12 miles from Kenosha.
Google maps is super easy to use.
I thought that was against freerepublic rules.
Maybe Jim Robinson will make an exception.
It is over $50k now.
America will never be a socialist/communist nation.
Boy, you’re a real profile in courage aren’t ya?
The second amendment is just so we can hunt and go to the range, eh?
