Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with shooting three people — two of them fatally — during a Kenosha protest Tuesday evening, thought of himself as a militia member trying to protect life and property, according to videos, interviews and social media posts. Video shot in the hours before the shooting shows Rittenhouse hanging out with older armed men, who tell the reporter they're protecting a car lot. Rittenhouse then introduces himself as Kyle. He also did a video interview with the Daily Caller in front of a boarded up building. "People are getting injured and our job is to protect this business,"

Good grief! So much for peaceful protests and what they bring ...

Not “considered himself”. He had seen the bulletin and joined this militia: Earlier in the day, the Kenosha Guard created a Facebook event called “Armed Citizens to Protect our Lives and Property.” The invite was picked up by the far-right website Infowars. The Facebook page, which was taken down late Wednesday morning, calls Kenosha Guard a social club. But a post signed “Kenosha Guard Commander,” written to Kenosha Police Chief Miskins, says this: “As you know I am the commander of the Kenosha Guard, a local militia. We are mobilizing tonight and have about 3,000 RSVP’s. Our effort has made the national media. I ask that you do NOT have your officers tell us to go home under threat of arrest as you have in the past. We are willing to talk to KPD and open a discussion. It is evident, that no matter how many Officers, deputies and other law enforcement officers that are here, you will still be outnumbered.”

He says he's a member of a militia. That's something the leftists should understand since for years they've been saying that according to the Second Amendment the only people who can own guns are the militia. I get a kick out of the media that for months have been referring to the rioters as 'peaceful demonstrators' not rioters but when someone finally fights back they're accused of being part of a vigilante group.

If Kenosha and state police would have done their job, the violent riot would have been nipped in the bud. At worse, it would have been the uniformed police that would have shot this vermin. Kyle did KPD's job for them.

The important thing in these circumstances is, if you are forming a militia, that you move and act as a unit. DO NOT act alone. First of all these cowards won't generally go after groups of armed men. Secondly, having the support of comrades steadies your nerves and prevents violence out of fear or simple reflex. And the group MUST stand together in support of their members. Get body cams and record the action. Have evidence so you aren't reflexively acvused of crimes when you're defending yourself. And know that in ANY Democrat controlled cities you are, in effect, behind enemy lines. The police may be quietly for you, but the political leaders are not.

The first rioter he shot in the head was a completely separate incident prior to this attack. Scuttlebutt on the interwebs say he was being charged and fired? In the second incident: The first attacker limped away with what looked like a broken ankle but no bullet holes in him, the dead guy was beating the kid with a skateboard, the guy that got his arm mostly blown off was holding a handgun and preparing to attack, the other 4 or 5 other attackers broke off when the bullets started flying. It was a kill or be killed situation, he did what he had to do.

#12, excellent point. Never fight alone, it doesn't work. You have to have somebody covering your back, and flanks. The military trains that the absolute minimum combat formation is a fire team, which is typically four men, a full auto weapon, a grenadier (M4 with a grenade launcher under barrel), a rifleman, and a team leader. Doctrine is to normally function at the squad level (10-12 men), leader, medic and two fire teams of four men. But still, fight in teams, never alone. And minimum is about four men, far better is ten, or a platoon of two or three squads. Even the exceptionally skilled special ops folks almost never go below 6 men, and they are damn near supermen.

My Militia is pretty small. So far it's just me, but I am my own bodyguard so it all works out. Years ago a class III sex offender was going to move into our neighborhood, next to a family with kids. He would have been unsupervised most of the day. The neighbors protested, but no one burned anything. While the street 'debates' were going on, a woman who never would have approved of firearms before this incident, said she was thinking about getting a gun. There is going to be even more of that thinking in the future.

Unmasking is the process whereby a U.S. citizen’s identity is revealed from collected surveillance. Initially, Rice publicly denied the allegations, claiming that “I know nothing about this.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
