I’ve repeatedly seen Klantifa types using skateboards as weapons. What the hell is it with these morons and skateboards? They don’t make for very good weapons.
In this case the thug with the skateboard was a convicted felon who was not allowed to own or bear arms. So was the one who was shot in the arm and is clearly pictured holding a gun. That is itself is a felony. He needs to be arrested and charged for it - in addition to assault with a deadly weapon for his attack on Rittenhouse.
The reason they use the skateboard is because they can carry and not be accused of carrying a weapon.
My understanding of this from reading other’s posts is that it is a stealth weapon. They can claim they use it for transportation, whereas a pipe or hammer would be to conspicuous.
