We Need To Crack Down On Armed Vigilantism Or Something

See, Democrats had no problem with Democratic voting BLM/Antifa folks committing acts of violence, including against women and senior citizens. They’ve called for defunding police. The amount of violence means police are spread thin, especially as the BLM/Antifa folks create issues away from the major area of the “protests”, and cannot protect homes and businesses. Someone has to

The Violence Could Get Much Worse
Unless police and political leaders begin to crack down on the armed vigilantes monitoring protests, more bloodshed could soon follow the killings in Kenosha.

The killings in Kenosha, Wisconsin, represent an alarming escalation of the fight over police violence that has consumed the country this summer: It wasn’t an agent of the state who shot two Americans dead this week. Instead, an American man turned his weapon on other civilians during a protest—and law enforcement let him walk right by them and out of town. Police and political leaders have failed for years to take the actions necessary to prevent this kind of violence. Without serious, sustained intervention, more bloodshed could soon follow.

Not defending or slamming the shooter, but, his presence would not have been necessary if the Dem voting BLM/Antifa folks weren’t violent, and if Democrats and their Credentialed media hadn’t not only propped them up, but egged them on.

Seventeen-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who has described himself as a militia member and appeared in videos that night next to other armed men linked to a local militia group known as the Kenosha Guard, has since been arrested and charged with killing two people. (He hasn’t yet entered a plea.) Rittenhouse and the other men, who claimed to be protecting local businesses, are not the first armed right-wing counterprotesters to evade police scrutiny this summer. In May and June, such extremists appeared on 187 occasions at protests around the country, according to the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, a left-leaning organization that tracks extremist groups. Vigilantes appeared to receive the support or approval of police in about two dozen of those instances, says Alexander Reid Ross, a researcher at the Center for Analysis of the Radical Right and the author of Against the Fascist Creep.

Seattle #antifa group @riotkitchen206 was arrested in Kenosha, Wisc. They drove all the way there with their van & stopped to fill multiple fuel cans with gasoline in what is believed for criminal purposes. The van attempted to escape from responding officers. https://t.co/MD7VYzO3n6

Because of that bust, Kenosha was a lot more peaceful Wednesday night

But deferential treatment of armed counterprotesters suggests that police are playing favorites. When law enforcement reacts leniently to far-right militant organizations, those groups tend to believe any violence on their part is authorized, says Michael German, a retired FBI agent who spent months in the early 1990s working undercover among white supremacists and right-wing militants. Consistent leniency, he told me, “has created a monster that’s going to be hard to contain.”

However, this is the first time there has really been a shooting from these “far right militant groups”, and it may well have been fully in self defense. For all those times armed “right leaning folks” have shown up, are they shooting everyone? Committing arson, looting, assault? Most times there are fights the BLM/Antifa folks start it.

That’s not violent at all, right? Most of these “right wing militants” are there to protect property from the violent Democratic Party voters.
