Before Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly opened fire on anti-racist protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday night killing two and severely injuring another a video showed police essentially deputizing the 17-year-old.
Rittenhouse had been walking the streets of Kenosha carrying an assault rifle alongside other armed white men, a local self-styled militia formed for the purported purpose of protecting property from protesters.
We appreciate you guys, we really do, a cop can be heard telling the group over a loudspeaker before tossing Rittenhouse a bottle of water.
It was a scene familiar in American history: agents of the state conscripting armed white vigilantes to help violently suppress movements for racial justice and liberation. (Cops and the Klan go hand in hand, the common protest chant goes.)
So it wasnt surprising to see Rittenhouse, in another video published Tuesday, walk toward police after allegedly killing the two protesters or for him not to be apprehended until the following day, when he was arrested at his home in Illinois.
As historic uprisings against police brutality have swept the country in recent months, antagonistic right-wing vigilantes have been a constant, menacing presence. Often seen patrolling Black Lives Matter protests with the tacit and very often explicit support of law enforcement, these vigilantes have shot protesters, attacked them with cars, and beaten them.

And notice that author apparently has all the data to PROVE “...police killed George Floyd...”
“data”
HuffPo has its cause and effect backwards.
Police have always had friends in vigilantes.
There is no such thing as a counter protestor to the media.
If you are anti-riot, you must be a white vigilante. Even if you’re not white
And yet Rittenhouse was arrested and his attackers were not.
This is what happens when your 4th Estate turns into an outright 5th Column.
Now, leftists have redefined vigilante to mean anyone who tries to prevent their mobs or anyone else from hurting people or destroying property. Under the new leftist definition the guard at the bank is a vigilante, Hollywood stars go out with a group of vigilantes around them, and Barack Obama and his family are protected by a highly trained group of vigilantes.
” 387 incidents of intimidation, such as people using racist slurs”
So threat are perceived racist slurs? Carrying a firearm legally? This is what they did to the Tea party-—waving an American flag was racist. These evil liars never quit——They have NOT seen patriot justice, but if this nonsense comes to us we’ll have no choice.
But then again, that's just too mean. They might succeed however. And they'll find out that totalitarians do not discriminate when it comes to eliminating the opposition.
Good. Kill every rioter. Kill them slow, kill them fast, I don’t care. But f***ing kill them.
This must be where Juan Williams gets his talking points that he spews on The Five and Guttfield and Waters laugh at him.
Awwww, are the all-White, woke top staff at the Huffington Post bothered by White people again???
Incorrect.
The media is a political party, and the Democrats are merely its current tool.
This is the new meme going around from the Left - white cops are supposedly assisting white vigilantes. Systemic racism, blah blah blah
Youll be hearing a lot more about this.
Truth is always the first casualty in any war.
Libs will make up enough lies to fill in a 40,000 foot trench if they have to.
When convicted felons are killed in “riots”, civilized society should view that as a good thing.
bttt
See map here:
TOTAL BS.
Yup. Here are the armed white vigilantes (blue) violently suppressing the movement for racial justice and liberation (gray).
These people don’t have any idea what “vigilantism” really is, but if they get their desire and defund the police, they are going to find out.
