Video: White Supremacist Kyle Rittenhouse Murdered Two Protesters In Kenosha & Police Helped Him Esc

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Blacksportsonline.com


We know Kyle Rittenhouse is part of a white supremacist militia group. He traveled to Kenosha to help the police and they welcomed the help from a white supremacist.

Reports are he is only 17-years-old but was encouraged never vetted by police who gave him water and instructions on how to murder protesters.

Multiple videos show him getting into a fight with protesters and in the end he murders two of them and wounds another.

This is a terrorist who was working with law enforcement to kill Americans, period.

And if he is 17, it was illegal for him to even possess a gun. He needs to be arrested immediately and any officer who had interaction with him needs to face investigation.

and he really looked younger than his age, more like 14. I can't imagine police just ignoring or encouraging such a young person walking around with an AK-47. Watching the videos, it was like he was playing out a scene in an action movie or a video game, with little regard for the irreparable damage he was causing. He finally got to live out his fantasy and that was probably the last thing he'll ever do outside of prison.

Some mistakes can't be undone, especially for those who died and their families. Its starting to look more and more like a Mad Max world.

White supremacist trumpers are chomping at the bit and this little coward should face the death penalty. And the police welcomed his assistance???trump has the beginning of his race war.

and as you say, we are now seeing that multiplied. There are people who thrive on chaos and destruction, and they'll use any excuse to play out their dreams of warfare. Too bad, they don't just join the military, but I suppose that would be too regimented and restrictive for them. They just want to shoot guns and go out in a blaze of glory.

me all the unrest, whether BLM signs don't matter and buildings are burned down anyway type anger. Or the shooting of an unarmed black man 2 feet from his children witnessing him go down to the general-historical racism that trump is agitating whites with, it goes deep the segregation, racism, the hate by police and trump white supremacist militias he's encouraging and enabling. America has always been one shooting away from upheaval. Trump will try to use this to steal another election if Biden and Harris can't come up with a counter to the white militias and trump that will stick and that will make them and him look like the utterly soulless racist fools that they are.

Thanks for posting. I hadn't yet seen some of those videos.

He expressed no concern about the virus in one of them, so the gloves were obviously unrelated to that.

Another video showed him claiming to be a worker for some local place? Is that how he simply got away?!

These armed "militias" are BS! No cops should ever encourage them!

Cops certainly shouldn't encourage them and I'm surprised to hear that any do. Often times, these armed militias go after cops. Any reasonable cop should not want armed citizens on the streets. It makes their job that much harder and more dangerous. I can't believe these police encouraged him. An armed 17 year old? What could possibly go wrong?

not find an article that confirms that on google as all the searches I tried are only showing that he was either arrested or wanted for the shooting but they do not say he was encouraged by the police to do anything.

article, but it was pretty vague. I think that might have been overstated. I did a Google search as well, and this is the only article that I found that used the word "encouraged". I'm sure it will be clarified later. Still you'd think they would find it odd that such a young person was walking about with an AK-47 and be concerned.

with this kid (if he was with a "militia" not quite sure why he was out wandering around on his lonesome)
and making some statement to the effect, "we really appreciate your guys .."
and, of course, nobody has identified which cops, what division or branch -- or what role they were playing in the tactical situation.

other hand -- the link in the OP gives this statement:

"--never vetted by police who gave him water and instructions on how to murder protesters."

which would appear to be just plain incendiary BS.

You can see the prison from I90/94. After the trial, they may send him to the one in Stanley, east of Eau Claire. That's further away and more inconvenient for his family. It's also close to a four-lane highway, so the poisoners can still hear everyone else's freedom.

Wed Aug 26, 2020, 02:03 PM

.... and says "THANKS FOR YOUR HELP" !! A series of videos will likely show that the kid with the AR knockoff who approaches the police without being challenged (with a gun) asking for water is likely the shooter who KILLED two people and wounded others back down the street before walking away heading directly to the police approaching from the other direction. HE should be under arrest or at least detained BEFORE just walking away.

I can believe what the videos appear to show. An underage kid with a rifle slung over his shoulder being treated like a comrade helping the police and maybe killing two people.

and his hands up, and they just straight ignore him. One does slow, though it's too far away to tell if they spoke or not. They've been told "shots fired" or similar, and none of them stops to detain the guy walking away with a gun? Fuck.

What was disturbing was the cops went to the location because of reports of a shooting and the shooter was walking straight towards them like he was trying to surrender with his hands up all while multiple people were screaming that he was the shooter and they just ignored them . It even looked like at one point he started to lay on the ground .
