What is wrong with these people? Are they dumb enough to believe Biden when he said Rittenhouse is a white supremacist? Rittenhouse shot 3 WHITE people, there were no Black people around. What fantasy world do they live in. What kind of scum threatens children?

About as bad as the phone call a senator from the state of Michigan has been getting, only he's been receiving death threats LTC David Brown

I don't know enough about his views to say he is a white supremacist. I do feel comfortable calling him a vigilante.

I have to ask, SPC Kevin Ford: How much do you know about the history of committees of vigilance?

LTC David Brown Cambridge has the definition of a vigilante as:
"a person who tries in an unofficial way to prevent crime, or to catch and punish someone who has committed a crime, especially because they do not think that official organizations, such as the police, are controlling crime effectively. Vigilantes usually join together to form groups."
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vigilante
That pretty effectively explants why he was there in the first place. I don't think he went there specifically to kill people either. But, it wasn't the end result that makes me refer to him as such. Like so many other cases where untrained, without legal authority and armed vigilantes are running around, it can take an already tense situation and light a match to it.

1LT William Clardy I didn't really until you mentioned them and I looked them up. Apparently there is a historical link between vigilantism and racism. I'm not sure that one point is enough to conclude he is (unlike being a member of the KKK where the group has a clear and stated position in racism) but it certainly does give a single point pushing in that direction.

Not everything harsh is racist, SPC Kevin Ford.
You might also want to look up the committees which formed farther west, especially in the Gold Rush days. I think San Francisco had a few and, as best I can recall from a college class on the legal history of California, they were a not-uncommon response to a legal system which had local trials always were on hold until the circuit judge rode in to town.

1. Where did Rittenhouse get the rifle?
2. Why did he even go there?
3. Kyle Rittenhouse wanted to be a big boy and go play.
4. Had he stayed home, 2 people would still be alive.
5. He should be required to pay a price.

True, MSG Stan Hutchison, but there's even less justification for painting him as a despicable villain.

1LT William Clardy - I "paint" him as a misguided child that should have stayed home playing video games.

I'd be a bit kinder and say he was a well-intentioned young man who is discovering very young the high price of poor judgement.
