Why the racist sherriff of Kenosha should resign. Read the whole thing, it keeps getting worse, all the way down to the postscript after the 'apology.'

After the events have unfolded I seriously wonder was this "sheriff" intentionally holding his men back so the rioters among the protesters could do more damage? On the night of the shooting the protesters that were out after curfew were just milling around. Why didn't the police break them up and send them home? After the violence the night before why didn't the sheriff request more help like the State Police or have the governor call out the National Guard? Why vigilantes instead of official law enforcement?

There is rumor out there that the cops intentionally herded the protestors to the vigilante position, then fell back. Have not seen real testimony/evidence on this though. But it sure figures, and fits the way these guys seem to think.

The police did separate Kyle from his herd (according to some accounts).

That was after Kyle went looking for action.

The New York Times did a piece that was supportive of Kyle's self defense claim.

There have to be witnesses to the initial encounter. Was Kyle's life in danger when he shot the first man four times?
Meanwhile images have surfaced of Kyle involved in a brawl at another protest.

Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend offered plea deal if he would claim Taylor was part of ‘organized crime syndicate’

https://www.yahoo.com/news/breonna-t...203500792.html

Quote:
Glover, 30, turned down the plea deal. An attorney representing Taylor’s family in a wrongful death lawsuit blasted officials for “the lengths to which those within the police department and Commonwealth’s Attorney went to after Breonna Taylor’s killing to try and paint a picture of her which was vastly different than the woman she truly was,” Sam Aguiar said.
Only a few bad cops they say

People have to wonder why the streets are still full of protest!

Kenneth Walker was the boyfriend in the apartment that night. Not the one offered the deal.

Glover was the ex boyfriend who was the target of the investigation. He was offered the deal.

My reaction: it is 10 seconds to midnight on America's dictator clock. Revolution NOW!

And while you're at it, read this:

And this:

And this:

Cuban Immigrant's Warning To Our Young People Who Are Demonstrating Out There: Don't Be Useful Idiots

There are a lot more. The biggest problem I had with the article you linked to was its characterization of Kyle as "A young man was radicalized by the movement that fascist President led."

He was there to protect property from those who had been radicalized by the fascist left. They are the ones that were rioting and looting. Not him. His problems started when he tried to put out a literal dumpster fire they started and they attacked. He was interviewed BEFORE any of this happened to him and said right there that he was there protecting businesses (that we later learned the owner had asked for) and had a first aid kit for those that might need it.

i.e. the label the author tried to apply to him was ludicrous. And calling Trump authoritarian is equally ludicrous. The left is desperate for him to stop the madness, but when he simply sent the feds to Portland to protect FEDERAL PROPERTY, they showed their hand too soon. They tried to call that totalitarian, etc. He's not taking the bait. He's not touching any of these events until a mayor ASKS for his help.

Whenever the left calls him fascist or authoritarian, they are projecting. He is anything but. His track record as president demonstrates that clearly to anyone not suffering from TDS or simply young and useful to their radical college professor.
