The law enforcement–obsessed 17-year-old who was charged with shooting and killing two people and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during protests for Jacob Blake appeared in the front row at a Donald Trump rally in January.

Kyle Howard Rittenhouse’s social media presence is filled with him posing with weapons, posting “Blue Lives Matter,” and supporting Trump for president. Footage from the Des Moines, Iowa, rally on Jan. 30 shows Rittenhouse feet away from the president, in the front row, to the left of the podium. He posted a TikTok video from the event.
Seven months later, Rittenhouse went with his rifle to the third night of Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha after police shot Blake, a Black man who is now paralyzed as a result, according to his family. Rittenhouse attended as an armed vigilante, supposedly assisting police and protecting property in an unofficial capacity. Instead, he allegedly prowled the protest with a gun. Videos captured him fraternizing with law enforcement and attempting to get their attention.

By the end of the evening, he was considered a fugitive on the run. He was arrested Wednesday morning in Antioch, Illinois, and is expected to be extradited to Wisconsin to face charges of first-degree intentional homicide.

A close look at his social media accounts and background show a teenager obsessed with law enforcement who also identified as a strong supporter of President Donald Trump and “Blue Lives Matter,” a pro–law enforcement movement that evolved in response to Black Lives Matter.

They are knowingly bearing false witness. In embracing evil, they have corrupted their souls. Undeserving of pity for they revel in their corruption of truth. And when they are held to account, they will beg for mercy as evil always does, while still secretly scorning their victims.

Martin,

They know the truth, it simply doesn’t fit the narrative. Knowing what part of the truth not to include is necessary for the lies to be effective.

Those funny Germanic Jewish surnames mostly come from the Prussian annexation during the Second Partition of Poland when all the new grist to the taxation mill got added to the census records and were mandated for record-keeping simplicity fixed as opposed to the patronymic surnames of yore.

The Prussian Civil Service, whilst very efficient, was not entirely without whimsy and E T A Hoffmann of all people and amongst others supposedly got to exercise his creative instincts in the Fischbein, Finkelstein, Goldblatt, etc. departments.

Could be. “Pogrom” is one of the few English words which came straight from Russian.

…but what else is new?

Wasn’t there a toast? “Long live the Czar. Death to the Jews”

What needs to start happening is that the media mouthpieces, the producers, editors and the CEOs of the parent corporations face charges of “Criminal Negligence” in similar cases.

Arguably that charge fits; “The failure to use reasonable care to avoid consequences that threaten or harm the safety of the public and that are the foreseeable outcome of acting in a particular manner.”

It ‘fits’ because the “public” is made up of individuals. If harm comes to the public, it consists of harm done to individuals.

By no calculus can it be claimed that the media used “reasonable care” in avoiding “a foreseeable outcome” in creating a threat of harm to Kyle Rittenhouse. A threat that will not end, whatever the outcome of this trial.

There must be accountability and personal consequence for those in the media, when they engage in criminal negligence.
