Of course they do, right on time. Left finally realizes the violence is hurting them, so how to stop it? Change the narrative.

Tremendous victory. Two dead, one maimed, all bad guys!

“The question in my mind has been how did Rittenhouse come to be isolated and surrounded by a feral mob? Earlier video has him with a large group. Did he go off on his own looking for trouble?”

All the video I have seen so far points to self defense. However if he did something before that to start the sequence of events then it might not be so clear cut.

And a 17 year old being out at night 30 miles from home armed with a long gun seems like a very stupid idea.

I’m sure the NYT’s first thoughts were “Damn, a white Hispanic shooter but no black victims, Damn!”.

neither does being an 18 year old diffusing IED's roadside in Iraq, but some people are patriots and risk life and limb.

You can’t stretch out three Democrat voters in the streets of a Blue city”

Except all 3 Antifa were convicted felons with sexual assualt and/or domestic violence convictions. The DOJ is already looking at the DA in the MO case of self-defense.

I think Don Lemon and the NY Times are telling the Democrats to retreat. They do not want this to draw out through election day. It will only fire up the Republican and Independent voters to defeat the Dems.

They don’t want to get sued. Kyle may have Sandmann’s lawyer representing him.

RE:”And a 17 year old being out at night 30 miles from home armed with a long gun seems like a very stupid idea.”

He's probably been watching all the riot vids posted on twitter and got worked up.

If he had stuck with CNN or MSNBC he wouldn't even know that there was trouble in the cities.

I suspect we have Lin Wood to thank if they’re cutting their losses...

That 18 year old was probably trained for the task.

If the taxpayer funded police don't keep the streets safe it's possible the patriots are less than adequately trained, that's what happens when Dem mayors have the police stand down, people take matters into their own hands.

No Skittles or Arizona Ice Tea, either.

The word is “defuzing” not “diffusing”.

So in the Antifa.us twitter thread there is this....John Monroe a gun rights lawyer says 17 years old is ok to open carry in WI.

Hopefully, that clears him of a gun charge.
