How did the US's mainstream right end up openly supporting vigilante terror?
The Guardian ^ | Sept 1, 2020 | Richard Seymour

Posted on 09/02/2020 9:29:13 AM PDT by sickoflibs

yle Rittenhouse, a “Blue Lives Matter” fanatic, Donald Trump supporter and militia member, has been charged with murder. It is alleged that having travelled from Illinois to Wisconsin to point his assault rifle at unarmed protesters, he shot two people dead. He was later heard claiming: “I just killed somebody.”

While the Trump campaign quietly disavowed this enthusiastic supporter, insisting he had “nothing to do with our campaign” (as though anyone had suggested otherwise), the president himself defended Rittenhouse, saying he appeared to have been acting in self defence. Message boards such as Reddit and 4chan are humming with commentary supporting Rittenhouse. Predictably, every accused lone-wolf murderer generates an online fan club. Likewise, the Christian right has already raised $250,000 for Rittenhouse’s defence.

Damn right I support Kyle. I even contributed to his defense. He’s not the terrorist. Antifa are terrorists and the time may come we have to shoot more of them. Trump has asked us to stand down...for now. I will not tolerate Antifa BS.

This type of “journalism” should be illegal or at least open to lawsuits.

Utter crap intended to manipulate weak-minded fools.

My ancestors killed a lot of loud mouth Brits in the first war with them and more in 1812.

When I read Brit BS like this trash,my ancestors didn’t kill enough of them.

Self defense is apparently a concept foreign to Brit sissies.

Well, gotta hand it to them, they got a point there.

When Lefty got shot, his arm was no longer really connected holding a gun. So, in essence, Kyle disarmed him.

Why do sane people have to defend themselves from left wing terror?

It’s very simple. They didn’t.

I would ask how the Manchester Guardian came to support outright lying but it’s been so obvious for so long it’s not even worth bothering with.
