Experts warn that Trump’s embrace of Rittenhouse, who sat in the front row at a Trump rally in January and was in Kenosha as part of a rightwing militia nominally there to protect property, could pave the way for more vigilantism in Trump’s name – and have catastrophically violent results come November.
“Trump has made the election about the idea of citizen paramilitaries, federal forces and the government administration, against looters, rioters, demonstrators and Democrats,” said Joe Lowndes, professor of political science at the University of Oregon. |

When the police fail to act to protect life and property, then it is up to the citizenry to act.
The dims brought this upon themselves. |

Rittenhouse was there to render first-aid to injured people. He was armed because Maniacal Marxists are injuring said people. And the news media is LYING -- - - - AGAIN!!!
Trump has said the media has become the peoples' dnemy. And he's RIGHT!! |

Gee, no bias in THAT story, wot?
100+ days of left wing violence = not a peep
1 incident of (documented) self defense = outrage
The author's analysis is an example of inverse reality. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
