It's particularly frightening to me that had this kid been in school his gun might have allowed him to take out his aggressions in an equally destructive manner. It's the guns.

I’m sorry did I just hear the Kenosha Police telling a white militia that they’re appreciated? This is a nightmare. In case you missed it, the white male walking killed 2 protestors and injured another. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse and he’s 17 years old from IL. https://t.co/noS7Q0v7xi— Maya Jennings (@_thenamesmaya) August 26, 2020

kenosha county sheriff david beth 19 months ago:
During a press conference the day after the theft, Beth made comments about the five suspects, calling them a "cancer to our society" along with other remarks. "Let's put them in jail. Let's stop them from...at least some of these males, going out and getting ten other women pregnant," the sheriff said."I'm tired of being politically correct. I don't think I'm saying anything that most people in society aren't thinking but they are afraid to say it," he continued. "In this country, in this community, in this state, we have to get to the point where we will no longer put up with the garbage people that fill our communities. They are a cancer to our society."

Though Beth says did not intend to offend anyone, he realized that his comments might have.

i fear a coordinated, larger assault during one of these protests also. it's going to happen at least once before the election. i've thought about it every time i've gone marching or been in a crowd with political leanings

we have nobody to fan the flames so gotta stay alive as long as we can. sadly I feel that protesters should have escape routes planned at the protest when possible. sad that it's come to not being able to trust police to actually protect you from armed assailants but.....we just can't.

Beth: "They are a cancer to our society."
similar to Michael Flynn: "This is Islamism, it is a vicious cancer inside the body of 1.7 billion people on this planet and it has to be excised."

Avoiding the news today, but has anyone made the extremely obvious but infuriating point that the RNC just gave a national platform to a pair of assholes whose only claim to fame is pointing guns at BLM protestors?

Beth was just on TV and said nothing about the kid killing two people.

Apparently the Bucks still haven't come to the court. Magic were warming up, but then they all returned to their locker room about 4 minutes before the scheduled tip-off.

they didn't move to Canada either time Obama won, and they create teary-eyed videos when they get fired for posting vids of themselves uttering racial epithets, they're professional victims minus the paycheck.
half expect if the NFL players actually pulled off a coup and held out their season in similar fashion, they'd be picketing outside the empty stadiums for two weeks and be screaming for an executive order that football needs to be played.

I feel horrible for those mom and pop places that were hit and hope their insurance and gov't aid cover all of their losses. And for all of the people in those neighborhoods that depended on the services/goods/employment of places that were hit. That said, it feels like the reporters should've been more specific/selective when mapping building and property damage. Barnes and Noble getting tagged up shouldn't really be in the same conversation.
