Kyle Rittenhouse. Click to enlarge
Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t go to Kenosha to shoot protestors; he went to protect the property and lives of the people who were threatened by a rampaging mob that had already destroyed large parts of the city. That’s why he was there. He went to fill the security vacuum the Democrat governor and mayor created when they failed to perform their sworn obligation to protect the people in their charge. They didn’t do that, they left the city and its merchants exposed to the erratic and violent behavior of looters, vandals and arsonists. Which is why Rittenhouse showed up. He was there to stop the criminal gangs from doing more damage than they’d already done.
“People are getting injured and our job is to protect this business… If someone is hurt, I’m running into harms way. That’s why I need my rifle to protect myself,” Rittenhouse told a reporter from the Daily Caller.
Unfortunately, Rittenhouse was attacked by a crowd on the property he was protecting, and a man was shot in the head. The man who was killed appears to be Joseph Rosenbaum, “a registered sex offender for a crime involving a minor.” Videos of the victim have popped up on Twitter but we have no way of verifying them at this time. What we know for certain is that Rittenhouse is responsible for the shooting deaths of two men and another who was wounded.
There is also evidence that one of the men who attacked Rittenhouse was carrying a gun. (See here:)
In a video that has been widely circulated on the internet, Rittenhouse is seen running away from an angry group of protestors who trip him from behind and send him sprawling to the ground. While lying on the street, Rittenhouse quickly grabbed his assault rifle and shot an assailant who had hit him on the head with his skateboard. He then slowly rose to one knee and shot another attacker who was preparing to deliver a blow. The bloody clash scattered the other 15 or 20 potential assailants who quickly did a U-Turn and fled in the opposite direction.
Rittenhouse was later taken into custody by police and charged with first-degree murder. The Antioch Police Department released the following statement on Wednesday:
“This morning Kenosha County authorities issued an arrest warrant for the individual responsible for the incident, charging him with First Degree Intentional Homicide. The suspect in this incident, a 17-year-old Antioch resident, is currently in custody of the Lake County Judicial System pending an extradition hearing to transfer custody from Illinois to Wisconsin.”
Rittenhouse has been assigned a public defender and faces charges of “first degree intentional homicide”. He is expected to appear in court on Friday.
Reasonable people should be able to agree that the situation should never have been allowed to deteriorate to the point where a young man felt the need to take up arms to defend an American city from the type of senseless violence we’ve seen in the last 10 weeks. But that’s what happened. And the blame should not be placed on Rittenhouse, but on the Democrat leaders– mayor and governor– and their criminal allies in the media who have applauded the activities of the rioters while failing to mention the horrific damage they have done. It’s shameful.
Also, there is world of difference between “freedom of assembly” and looting, arson and vandalism. The media knows the difference but continues to perpetuate the myth that these are mostly “peaceful protests” conducted by principled demonstrators who only seek social justice. Nothing could be further from the truth. How does one achieve social justice by burning down a mattress warehouse or looting a pancake restaurant or demolishing an entire fleet of new vehicles or spray-painting and firebombing a federal courthouse?? How do these activities square with the teachings of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi or leaders in the Antiwar movement?
They don’t. BLM is not a protest movement, it’s not even a civil rights movement. It’s a Trojan Horse funded by sinister globalist troublemakers who believe that violence is an acceptable means for advancing their own narrow political agenda. And let’s not kid ourselves, the real objective is likely the exact opposite of what they claim to seek, that is, the inevitable deployment of Federal troops followed by the establishment of a centrally-controlled Federal Police force no different than the Stasi or Gestapo. That’s the real objective, absolute martial power in the hands of– you guessed it– the Democrat puppet-masters and their deep-state friends.
There was also another violent eruption in Seattle last night that’s been conveniently ignored by the crooked media. Here’s the story from KIRO News 7:
“Seattle police officers were forced to kick their way out of an East Precinct exit door Monday night, after rioters jammed it with boards and rebar, and attempted to seal the door closed with quick-dry cement. As the door was being jammed, surveillance video shows several other people building a fire outside the building near the exit door, in an attempt to set the building on fire.
“I think what this shows you is that these people are intent on killing police officers,” said Mike Solan, president of the Seattle Police Guild, who called the act ‘”clear domestic terrorism.’”
“We’re being held hostage by a group of 100 to 150 people that are bent on destroying this city and hurting police officers,” Solan said.
Solan said a short time later, the Guild headquarters also became the target of three firebombs. “Our surveillance video captured two individuals scouting our location for several hours,” Solan said.
Surveillance video from that location shows one of the firebombs bursting, igniting the building’s rear stairway in flames, before officers were able to extinguish the fire. Solan said officers are dispirited when no- one in city leadership denounces these attacks.
“That’s why it’s incumbent upon our elected officials to put a stop to this immediately,” he said. “How can city leaders be so feckless? It can’t just be on the officers. This is an absolute overthrow attempt of some of our government institutions, and police are in the way. They or the officers will get hurt or killed so they can put forth that agenda.” (“SPD: Rioters tried to trap officers inside burning precinct using rebar and concrete”, KIRO News7)
Got that? Our esteemed social justice warriors tried to burn cops to death in their own precinct last night and our flunkey media failed to even report the incident.
Nice, eh? They must have been covering something more important like Trump’s latest post on Twitter.
As you may know, Seattle is run by Utopian blockheads who want to defund the police just as violent crime, drug-use and homelessness have skyrocketed to new highs and just as street violence has become a nightly event. Now the fanatical City Council is trying to shrug off the news that hooded thugs torched the police Headquarters putting everyone inside the building at risk of a fiery and agonizing death. What sort of mad world do we live in??
By the way, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has offered his sympathy to the family of Jacob Blake, the black man who was shot while resisting arrest by Wisconsin police over the weekend. Referring to Blake, Biden said:
“What I saw on that video makes me sick. Once again, a Black man, Jacob Blake, has been shot by the police in broad daylight, with the whole world watching.”
New video from the scene shows that Blake was resisting arrest and putting officers at risk by attempting to enter the front seat of his SUV. Neither Biden nor anyone else knows whether there was weapon in the front seat, so Biden’s comments are clearly an attempt to prejudice the case against the cops. Why would he do that unless he thought there was some political advantage in doing so?
Biden added: “Put yourself in the shoes of every Black father and Black mother in this country and ask: Is this what we want America to be? Is this the country we should be?”
Again, why is he saying this? Is Biden really so desperate for black votes that he’d try to influence the course of a murder investigation?
Yes, that’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s blaming the cops before he’s even heard the details because he thinks it might help him win the election. That’s Joe Biden in a nutshell. (Note– We now know that Blake DID have a knife in the front seat, but will that be enough to wrangle an apology out of Biden? Don’t hold your breath.)
So where do we go from here? Is the Rittenhouse incident a one-off or is it the beginning of something much bigger? Will we see a sharp uptick in the rioting and looting or will we begin to see more pushback from the people who’ve had enough and who don’t think social justice can be achieved by breaking windows, toppling statues, and burning down cities? Will the police and National Guard finally restore peace and order or will we slip deeper into fratricidal warfare and chaos?
The only thing that’s certain is that there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle. The Democrats and the media have encouraged this madness from the very beginning by praising the protests while downplaying the magnitude of the damage. It was all part of a political calculation that has backfired spectacularly. Now the mob is emboldened and no amount of destruction will satisfy its lust for more violence. You can see it in the rioters faces. It’s all a game and they’re enjoying themselves. They feel powerful now and they like it. That’s going to be hard to change.
But it will change and change won’t be pretty. The state will deploy all its assets to reclaim its monopoly on violence. You can bet on that. Security will be reestablished with brute force and an iron fist. A Crackdown is coming and the innocent are going to be crushed along with the guilty.
It didn’t have to be this way. This all could have been avoided if our scheming Democrat leaders had chosen to protect the people instead of kowtowing to the mob. The blood is on their hands.
Well, just WHAT did you expect when the Israeli Satanists were allowed to get away with
the attacks on America on 11 Sept 2001? No, it did not have to be this way. Americans
with an IQ over 50 could have easily determined that the 911 attacks were from Israel.
But, the false Christians who support Israel, a country of mostly European Ashkenazi Satanists, just have NO INTELLIGENCE! Of course, Jews are behind the Antifa/BLM
terrorism, just as Jews are behind the virus scam. America will fall, and hard, because the majority of the population have no critical thinking skills. Turn OFF Jew TV, get off social media, and find the truth. There are plenty of good sources of the truth about 911.
Watch how Trump and the Republicans do NOT endorse the hero kid.
But also watch how Amerikans stampede to the polls to vote for law and order Trump.
Watch how the slavish whore of Israel Trump gets re-elected by a landslide.
Then watch how Amerika disintegrates for 4 more years with Trump doing nothing as usual.
And watch how Israel bombs Gaza off the map, Lebanon off the map, Syria off the map with full support of Trump and the Evangelicals.
And during all of this watch how Congress gives Israel increased funds and weapons, watch how when Bibi comes to town he gets standing ovations, watch how the Green New Deal is rolled out during Trump’s second term, watch how Marxist BLM agenda is rolled on in liberal states during Trump’s tenure.
And Trump is part of the plot – with his son in law.
Bankster jews have directed their puppet politicians to terrorize, loot, burn, and destroy. Innocent victims who resist are to be prosecuted. Riots, arson, looting, and terror aka balkanization are classic symptoms of a nation being overthrown by bankster jews.
The Rights of self-defense and vengeance are upstream of all government, which exists to engender public safety and to temper vengeance into “justice.”
When government actors refuse to perform those tasks, it’s Back To The Jungle, as a matter of Right.
““I think what this shows you is that these people are intent on killing police officers,” said Mike Solan, president of the Seattle Police Guild, who called the act ‘”clear domestic terrorism.’””
Yes and the police really haven’t made themselves popular to the public on both sides.
I have no sympathy for the police and really, couldn’t give a sh*t if all police, from here to Timbuktoo were murdered. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
Why?
The police do not protect the people, far from it. All one has to do is look to see who’s protecting the aristocracy and politicians when they venture out into the public.
The police are a corporation, the thugs of the state, who enforce their legislation. They regularly breach people’s peace, something they are continually arresting people for. They regularly assault the public, kidnap and imprison members of the public who have done absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever.
They were established BY the elites to PROTECT the elites from the public. That’s the reason there’s a police force (and of course to arrest people, get them into a court, play the game of judicial BS and steal their finances off of them).
But here’s the thing; how many BLM and Antifa people are the police arresting? All one has to do is look at the video of Kyle Rittenhouse being attacked by the mob. Where were the police there? Why didn’t they instantly arrest people who were attacking him? The man who comes up behind and punches him? What did these fools expect? He has a rifle. It’s a case of kill or be killed.
And then they have the audacity to state: “charging him, as a minor in possession of a dangerous firearm” – from a police force, I do not consent to having and who are all heavily armed. It’s ok for them to carry firearms, but not people to protect themselves. And of course, how many young Americans, of 17, go off to kill people in foreign lands, for the Jews, as the nation’s armed forces?
I want to see total chaos.
I want to see everyone arming themselves.
I want to see people understand how precious life is and that you have to fight for it.
I want people to see what the police are and why we do not need them.
I want people to realise the need for family and protection within it.
But you see, the state endorsed feminism and so many women grow older, with no family and need protection, giving the need for the police state. And this is how easily it’s ridden it, women, terrified of being old with no one to protect them, NOT that the police WILL protect them, if they’re attacked on the street or in their homes.
It all just sums up the stupidity of people.
The only one, who can really protect you in your life IS YOU. You don’t need anyone else to. You don’t need a police force. You simply need a weapon to defend yourself with and unlike this situation, NO state to imprison you, when you defend yourself successfully from attack.
As stated, I couldn’t care less if every cop, bought the farm all over the world. I don’t want them. I don’t need them. I’ve never wanted them nor needed them. I do not consent to any one of these sh*ts coming to my door, knocking on it and trying to tell me they’re arresting me, because of something I said, about some degenerate on an internet forum. I do not consent to anyone having any authority over me. Therefore NO ONE has any authority over me and if they think they do, they’ve just stepped into the boots of a tyrant.
It’s only going to get worse. They disarmed Britain and most of Europe. They’re trying to do the same to the USA and when they do, that’s when the mass killing starts, ironically by the very armed forces personnel, who pledged an oath to protect their people. Armed forces ALL eventually turn on their own.
Too bad he didn’t mow down them all…
he deserves a fucking medal not a murder charge fucked up left wing cowards and niggers the new professional victims.
Would be interesting to see what happens to Rittenhouse. A thorough investigation should consider an analysis of each shot fired and under what circumstances. The first shots I believe were toward an individual throwing a Molotov Cocktail..but under what circumstances.
If sanity ever prevails, history may record him as one of the first prisoners of the new civil war…
Id rather be judged by Twelve then carried by SIX.
Self defence.
Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov was a Soviet politician and diplomat, an Old Bolshevik, and a leading figure in the Soviet government from the 1920s, when he rose to power as a protégé of Joseph Stalin.
How convenient that Mr Jew Molotov is still reaping havoc on Gentile nations.
When Civil war kicks off and it will All Jews must be rounded up along with the terrible Zionists and exterminate them period.
What we are witnessing is a Jewish Revolution.
Dont foregt all throughout History removed THESE parasites for doing exactly what they were born to do which is agitate. Its in their DNA.
Pick up a book and read The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit bu E Michael Jones.
First Order of business when everything opens up is to find and locate Rixon Stewart whom is a Pedofile. I have received information on this from a X intel officer in the U.K.
And truthseeker allows this Pedophile to publish his work on here.
Watch the Movie law abiding citizen Rixon as that will be your fate when i lay my hands on you. And i will trust me i will. Call me mad for saying here although i have been left with no other opportunity, if you seen the pictures of what i have seen involving Rixon Stewart you would be disgusted.
Nothing you can do about it Rixon , once i show your photo to some it is quite possible that your kidnapping can be subcontracted out to the following ???????????
Thankyou. This illustrates the sort of scum who control our governments and media. And how they will try to smear and silence those who expose them. As I wrote when you wrote under another name, I am not easily intimidated. In fact, efforts to inmidate me are likely to be counter-productive.
@ Harbinger
Most excellent rant. You make some very valid points and I might add if the police and courts would get out of the way people like myself and my friends would end all of the violence in 24 hours. But we haven’t (yet) because going to jail is worse than death.
So anyone reading this has to know the State wants the violence and has charged the hero kid shooter with multiple felonies which he has to now spend tons of money – unless he gets that free lawyer. The State is the problem. That is why I don’t vote, because I DO NOT WANT ANY KARMIC REPERCUSSIONS ON MY SOUL FOR SUPPORTING SUCH A DIABOLICAL INSTITUTION.
The system is a total racket – the state which says it has the sole authority to use force – only uses it on someone trying to keep law and order. Rittenhouse has made a joke of the entire government, especially the Feds. There is no law and order because that is what they want.
All these idiots who think Trump is playing 4D chess, we’ll see come November 4th. If Trump wins the Left will go total apeshit raging chimpout maniac crazy. Then will Trump do something after he wins? I doubt it because he is in on it, the false opposition when in fact he is a controlled asset of Israel which is organizing all the violence through the left wing of the state. Left-Right are both owned by ISRAEL.
If you vote you are sanctioning evil, especially the Amerikan state with the horrible Orange Orangutan Clown who Loves Israel which is right now bombing the crap out of Palestine. So in my first post on this essay I said Trump probably will not even mention or support Rittenhouse and second all this chaos has a good chance to sweep Trump into a landslide 2nd term.
I have traveled coast to coast many times, I have lived in a dozen states, I know this crazy country called Amerika and I will tell you all this rioting is going to tell the middle class to vote Trump as they fear the end is coming. As bad as Trump is he ain’t no damn commie they will think. Of course Trump has them all fooled because he is a JEW WHORE OF THE WORST KIND. MAGA is a psyop while Amerika is ripped to shreds.
Middle Amerika does not like the current situation one bit and anyone who maintains law and order is going to get the vote, not some crazy democrats like Biden-Kumaloho who wants to take the guns away – like hell – who is going to give up their gun now – what dumbasses these demonrats! Amerikans are buying guns and ammo until both hands bleed right now.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY GUNS OR TOO MUCH AMMO.
I suggest you all read George Washingtons Third Peril.
Glory days lie directly ahead. Not cowboys vs. dinosaurs but cowboys vs. antifa.
Guess how that will turn out?
Why the writer honors Martin Luther King? He is a leftist agitator who tried to steal the name and reputation of Matin Luther the reformist
Martin Luther King was a conman and a leftist asshole, not someone to show respect to
A huge demonstration should be organized in support of Rittenhouse and the right to self defense.
The state should be sued for not having acted to protect peaceful citizens, allowing agent provocateurs to run rampant. We should all contribute monetarily too, to support such action.
Those freedom loving individuals who are mobilizing to protect lives and property should mobilize even more against the state as the same continues to roll out its unconstitutional agenda.
Those who understand the situation should get out of the current monetary system as well.
The state of emergency should be examined in the highest courts, to show that science and health have nothing to do with what is going on and that all the extraordinary powers given to agencies and taken away from the elected officials arte actions that must to be overturned.
The treasonous politicians and bureaucrats who are leading this nefarious plan or going along for convenience must be tried and imprisoned.
The business persons and others operating out in the open and behind the scenes to promote the slave agendas must be attacked in a legal arena and neutralized.
It is clear that there is a system so strong and insidious behind the slavery of the common man that it is extremely difficult to beat, but the first step may be to stop contributing in every sense to this monster…
The money we save on not paying another cent could be used to purchase the means to broadcast in a mainstream manner some truth, to get people to open their eyes.
The TV is the main weapon these people have used to dupe everyone and the TV can be used to do the opposite.
It’s not easy?
Certainly it isn’t.
What options do we have?
One option, which seems it’s the BEST SOLUTION: http://annavonreitz.com/lostandonspincycle.pdf
DO you REALLY want to be a U.S. Citizen? What to do?

Antifa are looking for death in the street because they are miserable.Psychology did well but it is in the hands of the patient.Jews wallow in genocide talk because they long for the genocide. Their provocations are a commitment to sadness they thought had earned them death.We always refuse to provide it and this enrages them more.It’s not our problem but we are theirs and are requested by them to be the executioner.Jew is jealous of the superior but eugenics is emotional, awkward, not formulaic.
@Rixon Stewart, unfortunately there is scum everywhere these days..
The Rittenhouse boy is a little hero, there should be many more like him..
@Ray, unfortunately the legal system in the US is also jew controlled..
