Violence broke out late Tuesday night during a spat of BLM infighting in Kenosha, WI, leaving one critically wounded and two dead after a small band of armed men carrying rifles and wearing symbols affiliated with the Libertarian Party found themselves the target of a violent mob.
The multiracial libertarian group had been initially supportive of the BLM rioters, immersing themselves in the crowd and clenching their fists while repeating various phrases associated with the movement. “As long as you f*** with the government and not with each other, we are with you. No lives can matter until black lives matter!” one of the men said, the Libertarian Party’s porcupine symbol emblazoned on his shirt. The group then proceeded to march down the road, stopping at a boarded up gas station and milling about as protestors marched by.
The crowds swelled as the night went on, becoming more confident and aggressive. A band of rioters went into the gas station parking lot to harass the armed libertarians, enraged that they would not be able to loot and vandalize as they pleased. One white rioter walked right up to the armed men and proceeded to taunt them, calling them the n-word. “Shoot me n***a! Shoot me n***a! Bust on me n***a fo’ real!”
The situation escalated, and that is exactly what happened.

Here is a good video breakdown:

Listening to the Fox News report on this this morning, you’d think Rittenhouse was a bad guy—a “militia” member (think Timothy McVeigh), with nothing to suggest he might have fired in self-defense.
Learnin much about the 17 year old shooter.What about the background and records of the two white guys he shot in apparent self defense?
America’s best and brightest yawns.
Never bring a skateboard to a gun fight.
At only 17 years old, he is still a minor.
90% chance the charges are dropped or significantly reduced. 100% chance that if it goes to trial he will be found innocent due to self defense.
Why are leftists such racists?
I think he was in the right, but he’s kinda screwed.
1. He had to drive for 20 minutes to get there. That will be interpreted as “He was looking for a fight.”
2. He was under 18 and open carrying a long arm. I think WI has laws against people under 17 open carrying.
Add to that the fact that the WI government is pretty leftist, he is in a bit trouble. The fact that the scumbags he shot were just that - criminal scumbags - won’t mean a thing.
IF you can afford it, see if he has some funding websites. He’s going to need all the help he can get.
Even if this happens, they will drag it out to bankrupt him and his family.
The Process IS the Punishment.
The first guy that he shot in the head was a registered sex offender with a long list of assaults while in prison (assaulting staff, etc.)
The guy that caught one in the chest had a rap sheet with burglary and assault iirc.
The guy that got shot in the arm had a long list of domestic assaults and had his pistol illegally. He is a professional protestor.
The people at the gas station and the business next door didn't just wander up to it.
The people at the gas station were trying to defuse a tense situation. They repeatedly stated that they did not disagree with the protestors and were just there to protect the property. Isn't that what anybody with common sense would say in that situation?
And isn't it true that most people across the country agree with the idea that the excessive use of deadly force by the police is not a good thing, and that black lives, along with every other life, matters?
I think it’s quite telling that the left is actually saying that Americans should just sit down and allow punks to beat them to death with skateboards, and if self defense is implemented, they get charged with murder.
They went after a child showing clear intent to harm, and they’re the ones being called, “Victims.”
Should be really eye opening for the millions of new gun owners since January.
with all the video evidence, even a public defender could get this kid off.
It’s honestly one of the most clear cut cases of self defense ever, one of the attackers even had a gun!
Joseph Rosenbaum...the guy that took the shot to the head had an interesting rap sheet. He was a registered sex offender and pedophile.
God works in mysterious ways
I think this guy needs to lawyer up, (with a GOOD lawyer, not these lefties like Flynn’s first lawyers, who screwed him,) and get his story out.
The longer the leftie narrative is out there, the more it will solidify, and become leftie “truth.”
Kyle should get a medal.
Thank you. His defense team should hire an investigator to find out who was paying them and the “terms of their employment”. The people who were paying them have accountability and culpability.
Except for my two points:
According to the gub’mint, he wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place (had to drive 20 minutes) and he was breaking the law by carrying the rifle.
They are going to try use those things to rake him over the coals.
He’s going to need a lot of help.
