US police and public officials donated to Kyle Rittenhouse
Guardian ^ | April 16 | Jason Wilson

Posted on 04/17/2021 4:19:22 AM PDT by RandFan

A data breach at a Christian crowdfunding website has revealed that serving police officers and public officials have donated money to fundraisers for accused vigilante murderers, far-right activists, and fellow officers accused of shooting black Americans.

In many of these cases, the donations were attached to their official email addresses, raising questions about the use of public resources in supporting such campaigns.

The breach, shared with journalists by transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets, revealed the details of some donors who had previously attempted to conceal their identities using GiveSendGo’s anonymity feature, but whose identifying details the website preserved.

The beneficiaries of donations from public officials include Kyle Rittenhouse, who stands accused of murdering two leftwing protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August. Rittenhouse traveled from neighboring Illinois to, by his own account, offer armed protection to businesses during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Rittenhouse, who became a cause célèbre across conservative media throughout late 2020, and was even supported by then president Donald Trump, held a fundraiser on GiveSendGo billed as a contribution to his legal defense. According to data from the site, he raised $586,940 between 27 August last year and 7 January .

Among the donors were several associated with email addresses traceable to police and other public officials.

Now, had he had an antifa costume on and the victims been Conservative/Patriots, that would be another thing all together. Just ask the current Vice-President of the United States.

I am still looking for an article in The Guardian about Kamala Harris donating a lot of money to BLM killers, rioters and looters to get them out of jail last year.

Of course he did “something wrong”; he publicly opposed leftists and defended private property rights.

That couple that brandished guns to keep the mob at bay in their gated community was pilloried for exactly the same thing - and never even used the weapons.

Clear geographical lines are being drawn in this low-profile civil war (it isn’t “coming”; it is here); make sure you’re in the right area (pardon the pun).

The Alinsky Dems do one better, They take PAC money to bail out thoise charged by police with looting and arson in Portland, Minieapolis and Seattle.

Youdon’t see the Republican party stepping up like that.

Instead its conservatives doing it themselves for a just cause, bound in a genuine grass roots movement that the Alinsky Dems DO NOT have.

I hope that Kyle is found not guilty by reason of self defense, His true crime is that he shot 2 Alinsky leftists who were part of an anarchist mob. Kyle acted according to the law of self defense.More of them should be shot when they throw bricks and molotov ocktails( deadly weapons intened to kill or do grevious bodily harm,) at police officers.

Remember when most of the mainstream media, Facebook and Twitter all refused to allow any mention of the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop based on baseless allegations that the laptop might have been hacked? Good times. Good times.

“Data Breech” is so innocuous when the reality is most likely an aimed and malicious attack ATTACK to get this very information.
