Kyle Rittenhouse – The Truth in 11 Minutes

Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal team has put out an 11-minute video outlining their case for self-defense for the alleged Rittenhouse shooting of armed attackers in Kenosha Wisconsin in August. The 11-minutes is compelling and worth your time and passing along.

I suspect that this video will be taken down so please use your VLC media player to download to share later.

More information can be found at https://fightback.law/ however, as I write this the site is down. It could be that the site is overloaded or is being DDoS’d by Antifa or BurnLootMurder.

    Mr. Mac,

    It is 0700, 23 SEP 20. I just finished watching the video you posted. Worked fine.

    Thanks for posting your essay along with the very pertinent video.

    Very powerful and compelling video production.
    I hope it makes a difference for the defense of Kyle R.

    For now, it seems very clear, based on this case and many others over the past months, that self defense is no defense against being charged by socialist DAs who sympathize with the goals of Antifa/BLM/RevCom (ABR). Standing on your porch or in front of your business with a weapon, to face down a mob of screaming arsonists, will only result in your being arrested, not the mob. The masked terrorists, modern KKK night raiders, will laugh in your face as you are handcuffed by the police, who will only arrive to take you away.

    This tells me that the terrorists will have to be confronted from a stand-off distance by neighbors who are willing to protect homes or businesses under attack by an ABR mob. After hundreds of arson attacks by ABR terrorists this summer, any mob attack may be presumed to have the ultimate intent to burn and kill. Therefore, any ABR terrorist mobbing a house or business, who lights any kind of fuse, be it for a Molotov cocktail or other explosive fireworks, should be engaged from a standoff range by a neighbor. This neighbor should not stick around to offer himself up for arrest by politicized police, and criminal charges by pro-ABR socialist DAs.

    In a sane and civilized society, the police would protect their communities and drive away or arrest mobs of screaming arsonists. This is why they were issued “riot guns,” pump-action shotguns loaded with lethal buckshot ammunition. But we are no longer living in a sane and civilized society. Now the hamstrung and politicized police hide from the ABR mobs safely out of harm’s way, until they can swoop in to arrest a patriot for defending his home or business.

    Since the police won’t do their job, and home or business owners will face arrest for doing so, it will be up to the neighbors of those under direct ABR mob attack to protect them.

    As the first step on this escalation of violence, brought to us against our will by ABR terrorists, enabled by impotent police, and encouraged by pro-ABR judges and DAs, arson terrorists should be shot on sight by any patriots who are able to do so. Additionally, those ABR thugs who surround arsonists to protect and shield them from identification, should rapidly move away from arsonists as soon as the first fuse is lit, or they will be in the line of fire, and should receive no sympathy if they are hit along with the arson terrorists they are shielding.

    Restore civilization. Death to arsonists.

      Agree Matt. as you wrote, For now, it seems very clear, based on this case and many others over the past months, that self defense is no defense against being charged by socialist DAs who sympathize with the goals of Antifa/BLM/RevCom (ABR).

      It seems to be Soros funded DA’s. Soros wields a whole lot of power as we can see when Newt Gingrich was shut down by FoxNews when he pointed to Soros last week. In recent weeks, many high profile people on FB have been demonetized when they bring forth facts of Soros being behind Antifa, BurnLootMurder and ABR.

      With that written, as JC Dodge wrote, no charges were brought forward on a elderly gentleman in Bradford County PA. who shot a ABR man who was harassing him. Although PA. is a ‘stand your ground’ state, I am sure the DA in Philadelphia county is not the DA in Bradford County.

      Good stuff Brother

      • DAN III September 23, 2020 at 11:02

        Mr. Mac,

        Approximately 8 years ago I filed a criminal complaint against an Erie County, PA boro for creating an ordinance regarding shotguns. As you know PA Preemption law forbids any PA county, municipality or township from enacting firearms related rules, ordinances etc. A week after I filed my Pro Se complaint the then and still current DA Jack Daneri called me. He said he was impressed with my complaint. However, he would not charge the defendants per my complaint. His reasoning ? The seven listed defendants and their solicitor were “trying to do a good thing” said Daneri. Daneri concluded his call saying he would not charge the defendants because a guilty verdict could put all of them in a PA state jail for seven years !

        So much for the justice system. I have little, if any, love for attorneys. I even have less for DAs and state AGs.

        Today, I neither trust or respect the criminal justus system embedded throughout this nation. It is not about justice.

        • Matt Bracken September 23, 2020 at 18:00

          Lesson learned? Shoot, scoot, and shut up.
          The political police and socialist DAs are not on the side of defending civilization.
          So it’s up to us.
          Thomas Sowell:
          “If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.”
          Note that Sowell did not say, “the police” or “the justice system” or “the DAs” or “the judges,”
          He said YOU.

      • DAN III September 24, 2020 at 09:59

        Mr. Scout,

        In your argument regarding “authority” there is the question of WHO defines “authority”.

        As you wrote above “Words have meaning.” Yes, they do. However, the meaning and understanding of any word derived from Websters by der untermenschen, does not apply to “the authorities”, i.e., the people one calls government. Government and their lawyers will always define a word not by it’s meaning per Webster’s. Rather, government and their judiciary and lawyers define words in direct contradiction to one’s common understanding of a word’s definition. They do it to suit the .gov’s agenda. And today’s American government’s agenda does not apply to the founding principles of this nation.

        As you seem to be emphasizing “authority” and what entity(ies) have the justification to execute their definition of authority, it comes down to being only the government that has authority, correct ? That is the takeaway I receive from your replies to those who do not meet your definition of authority.

        In conclusion to my thoughts, it is only the power of those one calls “government” that defines “authority” in the United States of America. Government is all knowing. No other definition is justified as government has the totalitarian ability to use THEIR definition of authority, to apply THEIR boot heel upon the citizenry. Seems to me the definition of authority is contained within the Declaration of Independence.

        From the Declaration of Independence, 4 July 1776:

        “That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it….”

        • NC Scout September 24, 2020 at 11:52

          I think you should spend a bit more time studying how society works rather than quoting a declaration.

          You’re appealing to legal authority once more while neglecting the more important traditional source. Instead of Webster, try Weber. He was a bit more knowledgeable on the subject.

          This is where all of you are wrong. Because if you knew the difference, antifa and the line would never have been allowed to grow.

          • DAN III September 24, 2020 at 14:37

            Mr. Scout,

            Your response to my remarks was pretty close to what I expected. Everyone not in complete harmony with your “I’m right you’re wrong” mentality would be better off to keep their ignorance in check than to express their beliefs, eh ?

            In short order, within the remarks to this posted essay, you have managed to denigrate:

            1. The United States Constitution.
            2. The Declaration of Independence.
            3. Many of those following this essay and American Partisan in general.
            4. Most of all, you have insulted every American military Veteran with your claim that those Vets who have never pulled a trigger against the undeclared enemies of the state, have no right to express their thoughts.

            Must admit, I am very surprised and disappointed at many of your comments in this thread. However, I often disagree with my wife. Doesn’t mean I don’t love her. What kind of life would it be if we agreed with each other on every issue under the Sun ?

            Perhaps I and others commenting here in contradiction to your beliefs, can agree to disagree with you.

            Thanks for the existence of American Partisan. AP as now, often provides me with food for thought.

          • NC Scout September 24, 2020 at 15:14

            First, I own this site. You are here at my leisure and I neither seek your approval nor particularly care what you think.

            Second, I’m correct because I’m actually educated and have experience on the subject, and do not pontificate on what I cannot point to in black and white.

            You’ve pointed to a source of law in the US (only one of four) while still ignoring traditional authority and the role it plays.

            I have asked this question repeatedly for a specific reason to which no one can answer. And again, this is the reason for the conditions you enjoy today. Now, you can either think on that, research something other than Glenn Beck talking points and have a civil discussion, or you can go away.

    • Shinmen Takezo September 23, 2020 at 11:25

      One key piece of evidence that Kyle’s lawyers left out of this video was earlier video of Rosembaum (the pedo-thug) shouting to other ABR’s… “let jack them and take their guns.” He did this several times on camera at the gas station location.

      This alone is justification in any legal sense for Kyle’s action–that and the fact that Pedo-Thug purposely covered up his face as he pursued Kyle. His intent was to take Kyle’s weapon. And Kyle was perfectly justified in zotzting this piece of filth. That fact that Pedo-Man spent 12 years of hard time in an Arizona prison for forceable sodomy on several 9 year old boys, also reinforces Pedo-Man’s criminal and violent intent.

      • Brad September 23, 2020 at 15:02

        I believe there is also a video of local LE meeting with Militia member telling them what buildings they would watch and suggesting where they should place themselves. I would think that would be of help too.

    • Shinmen Takezo September 23, 2020 at 11:34

      Kyle and the other armed patriots there in Kenosha clearly fall under Title 10 and the sections pertaining to the “Unorganized Militia” whereas every male years 17 to 45 are part of the UM. Clearly their actions were an ad-hoc militia–but still falling under the provisions of Title 10.

      And since Kyle and the other fall under the provisions of Title 10–do they not also fall under the UCMJ? When you are called up to serve, or volunteer to serve in the Unorganized Militia.. are you not under the auspices of military law and it’s provisions? Are you not protected by federal regulations? Are your actions subject to military review?

      Therefore–is Kyle Rittenhouse being held and illegally charged by local authorities, when in fact his case should be reviewed by military JAG personnel? And therefore can he be absolved of any wrongdoing by the Commander in Chief?

      • NC Scout September 23, 2020 at 12:19

        Who is in charge? And on what authority?

        That’s the fundamental question (and problem) with “the militia”.

        • Shinmen Takezo September 23, 2020 at 13:14

          Under the intent of the “Unorganized Militia” –you don’t need authority. No elected official, paid LEO’s, active duty military and so forth are allowed to be a part of the Unorganized Militia. It can be formed on an emergency ad-hoc basis to meet unexpected threats. Or… it can be organized, trained and met in advance and stand ready to meet needs as you see with many such militia groups across the USA. It can be of any size–even a single person. It does not need to be sanctioned by the Governor, police chief, or state police. Title 10 is the enabling legislation for the 2nd Amendment–before that it was the Militia Act of 1795.

          Dr. Edwin Vierra is the expert on the Unorganized Militia FYI.

          The 2nd Amendment specifically mentions Militia–and it’s meaning is thus: the whole of the people.

          My thesis is thus: if you organize a civil militia–it has to have leaders, and come under military rules and laws when operating
          It does not have to have permission of local, state or federal authorities to do so.Or

          Andrew Jackson called up the militia (actually drafted men) in the Battle for New Orleans and said militia were under military regulations. This is not the only time this has happened in the past.

          So Kyle was in fact a member of an ‘Unorganized Militia’ –and thus his actions (and his group) fall under federal authority, and ultimately the Commander in Chief.

          10 U.S. Code § 246 – Militia: composition and classes
          U.S. Code
          Notes prev | next

          (a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

          (b)The classes of the militia are—

          (1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

          (2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

          (Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 14, § 311; Pub. L. 85–861, § 1(7), Sept. 2, 1958, 72 Stat. 1439; Pub. L. 103–160, div. A, title V, § 524(a), Nov. 30, 1993, 107 Stat. 1656; renumbered § 246, Pub. L. 114–328, div. A, title XII, § 1241(a)(2), Dec. 23, 2016, 130 Stat. 2497.)

          Also under the Dick Act (Title 10) military style weapons are the only class of weapons guaranteed under the 2nd Amendment.

          Furthermore… Kyle at age 17 was entitled to bear arms, specifically any type of military style firearm–and also allowed to transport said firearms over state lines… despite any state or local statures to the contrary.

          Therefore Federal Marshalls should remove Kyle from state custody and put him into a military jurisdiction for investigation and review of his actions… where the Commander in Chief has the final say in his case.

          • NC Scout September 23, 2020 at 13:27

            I’m well aware of the code, and the subsequent legislation.

            The question is not legality but authority.

          • Truth-in-Tension September 23, 2020 at 14:38

            Shinmen,

            Thank you for the explanation relating to unorganized militia. It is very interesting. Do you think it would be beneficial to forward your explanation to Kyle’s defense team? From the video it appears his defense team will rely on self defense for Kyle’s actions.

            Also, I am not convinced that a military court would be favorable to Kyle as a member of an unorganized militia. Regardless, American Patriots must quickly come together to help Kyle. So far, I am not seeing very many ideas on how to help Kyle, with the exception of your suggestion to use the unorganized militia approach which may prove to be a very good suggestion. My guess is the military justice system will not want to get involved with this issue. The are many military veterans on this site that may be able to provide some information as to feasibility of using the military justice system for Kyle’s situation as a member of the unorganized militia.

          • NC Scout September 23, 2020 at 16:25

            “Do you think it would be beneficial to forward your explanation to Kyle’s defense team? From the video it appears his defense team will rely on self defense for Kyle’s actions.”

            No, they wouldn’t. No defense attorney in their right mind would. It would be a field day for the prosecution as a justification for vigilantism. None of you have yet answered the question regarding authority. Legality is one form of authority, not the lone one. Appealing to legal authority is where all of you are going wrong. A ‘militia’ sources its authority from whatever local populace supplies it with manpower and consent is inferred. It represents assertion of traditional authority. It is by no means some blanket by which a force simply exists- such a statement could easily be applied to those burning down the town (and has been by their provided legal overhead). If it does not represent traditional authority and is given acceptance by a large majority, they’re just seen for what they are. A nuisance.

          • NC Scout September 23, 2020 at 16:40

            “Under the intent of the “Unorganized Militia” –you don’t need authority.”

            That’s a great way to end up face down in a ditch. Screw around with the locals of a place talking tough with a gun and you’ll find out. Been there. Done that. Picked up the headless body left in a waadi.

            Spend a little more time studying actual conflicts abroad before lecturing anyone on a document that hasn’t been followed since its writing.

        • Matt Bracken September 23, 2020 at 18:05

          When I think of “the militia,” I think of the Battle of King’s Mountain, 1780.

          They didn’t ask permission. They didn’t ask forgiveness. They did what had to be done, and they went home, duty done.

          >>Their son Isaac Shelby served as a lieutenant, captain, and colonel in the Revolutionary War and fought with distinction at the battle of Kings Mountain in 1780. In an address before the battle, Colonel Shelby encouraged his men to fight in frontier fashion: “Let each one of you be his own officer, taking every care you can of yourselves, and availing yourselves of every advantage that chance may throw in your way. If in the woods, shelter yourselves and give them Indian play! advance from tree to tree, pressing the enemy and killing and disabling all you can.”<<

        With all due respect, the UCMJ thing is a really long reach. Did Kyle take the oath? Is he listed anywhere as property of the DOD with one of Uncle Sugar’s Common Access Cards? I don’t think so. He’s no more under UCMJ than I am sitting on my couch tonight, drinking rye.
        What is his chain of command? Some dude from the interweb.
        Place of Duty? Fort Living Room.
        Nobody is going to buy he’s under UCMJ.

        • NC Scout September 24, 2020 at 08:27

          The UCMJ thing is wrong because he’s wrong about the Dick Act.

          This is why the people who read law have a JD behind their name. We have one of those here at AP.

    Roger that. So what they are saying is: I should cover my face, dress like Antifa, and run around with a silenced pistol kneecapping people. “Standing your ground” isn’t gonna work in any state. Except, everyone knows that MD is full of real MF’ers. As you can see, the lines have already been drawn in several states, and both sides know the score. Thus far, they have stayed on their side of the field and we have stay on ours. Anyone caught offsides is being arrested, and charged(On round 2)

    Funny enough, the MD police aren’t having any of this crap. I was listening to my local police scanner yesterday and there were RGB protests at churches scheduled on and off all week.

    What they are telling me is that they hate churches, christians, babies, and peace; because why would you protest the death of a communist jewish Supreme Court judge by having “Peaceful” protests at churches exclusively? What sense does that make? Answer; all the sense in the world if you understand your enemy.

    How do you even protest the death of someone? Like it’s gonna bring them back to life or something?
    Let’s be honest, these aren’t protests, they are a covert séance in costume(regular street clothing) They are channeling the dead and they are eventually gonna invite something over to this side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Séance

  5. Truth-in-Tension September 23, 2020 at 12:31

    Thank you for posting the remarkable video. I am forwarding it to everyone that I know.

    We must not abandon Kyle Rittenhouse. He is incredibly important, as his actions demonstrated for all to see, that the ABR are mindless, pathetic, tattooed, demonic entities that can be stopped and defeated by a 17 year old boy who is in the right.

    We must help Kyle in anyway that we can. His indictment was an indictment of all American Patriots. The international socialist traitors will send him to prison for the rest of his life as an example to all freedom loving Patriots. We must not let this happen to this boy.

    The entire Wisconsin government, from the town level up and through legislature and the governor are international global socialists that are bought and paid for by international socialist banksters. These banksters control all levels of government in America, as well as most other countries.

    The ABR / international socialist are on the march, because they smell the stench of weakness that surrounds most conservatives. The majority of conservatives are hoping that someone will save them from the friction that they see closing in around them. They just want to be left alone, so they can go back to watching mind numbing sports on the TV. They still have not figured out that no-one is going to save them.

    Conservatives are good people with good values. The Republican Party is made-up mostly of conservatives who want to avoid conflict, and who just want to be liked by everyone, and that is exactly why Republicans have become irrelevant just like the old Whig Party. For the most part, they are never willing to standup to protect one of their own. Their silence is all telling. This is why, the probability is very high, that Kyle Rittenhouse will go to prison for a very long time. The fact that he clearly acted to defend himself, because his life was in great danger is irrelevant to the international socialist justice system.

    As American Patriots, we must do everything we can to help Kyle Rittenhouse. If we do not help him is is doomed. I am not a fan of writing letters to politicians, but in this case, we should start sending as many letters as we can to all of politicians in Kyle’s area including all member of the city council, the police chief, the sheriff, the corrupt DA , prosecution team, the judge, the media, and so on. We should send letter after letter, until they realize that we will not fade away as conservatives normally do. Also, we must contribute to Kyle’s defense fund. Could we should use this site to brainstorm ideas that could help Kyle?

    From now on, American Patriots must not fade away like in the past. We must embrace and personify the words “Don’t Tread on Me”. These words must again mean that there is no impunity for traitors / international socialists / banksters. We must rally around and protect American Patriots. Everyday we must use this site, as well as, other sites to remind American Patriots to help Kyle Rittenhouse.

      This is the major defect that the ABR’s are exploiting as I type this. Most conservatives are ‘too busy’ hammering nails, being productive, visiting the grand kids, or studying the bible (especially these religious ninnies who are waiting for supernatural intervention) to get off their asses and actually do something. Not all mind you, but enough to to kick a leg out from out defensive table.

      On the other hand Rev-Com’s are working 24/7 to fuck us up these ass with new laws, regulations, infringements and so forth… and many of them are paid full time to be activists and foot soldiers in their cause–while we just send in a check or two, to Phillis Schafley, the NRA and the 700 Club thinking they will do all the heavy lifting.

      I am talking with many conservatives who are completely unaware of the chaos and violence that the ABR’s are planning pre and post election. These types will be crushed like cockroaches in the forthcoming party.

        I do agree with you NC, but the authorities have abdicated their “Authority” through inaction, indeed fawning action in support of the Mob, not the law abiding citizenry. Someone will assume the authority in a vacuum. In these circumstances Authority will come from a higher source.

            No, it has all the difference. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

            Go out and start shooting them, right now. See what happens. You’ll be nothing more than an armed nuisance that is at best confused with the opposition, at worst used by the media as a rally for legal action by the Left. For now. But they’re outrunning their tolerance level much the same way ISIS did, but in fact worse.

            Leave the planning to those of us who’ve actually done it. What you see online is not an exact replication, nor a reflection, of reality. If you haven’t served as a combatant in an actual declared warzone (that’s the hint for the clever), and I don’t give a damn what any ‘militia’ in the US calls itself or claims, the best you can do is maintain a combat load and be ready to follow orders by those who have. And that’s the bottom line.

            Counter-revolutions are not made by old men with good intentions. Its made by the ruthless who know better.

        NC SCOUT,

        I am not completely sure I understand what the question is relating to authority. Would you provide more information regarding your concern relating to authority and how it relates to Shinmen’s explanation of unorganized militia? I confess that I am not clear on your concern.

        • NC Scout September 23, 2020 at 16:30

          No, because you’ve never taken a legal philosophy course. Words have meaning.

          He explained nothing, just posted statute. A statute that has long since been defined as the National Guard of the State, shared between the Governor and the President.

          Authority is not legality. Legality is one form of authority and is always up for interpretation. Traditional authority is not.

          • Truth-in-Tension September 23, 2020 at 18:39

            NC SCOUT,

            Thank you for your reply. I have made a note to learn more about legal authority vs. traditional authority.

            Study up on Max Weber. He was a German Conservative during the European Revolutionary period of the late 1800s and is the father of modern sociology. I think it’ll give a great insight to our social issues we face today.

          “Brad on September 23, 2020 at 15:02
          I believe there is also a video of local LE meeting with Militia member telling them what buildings they would watch and suggesting where they should place themselves. I would think that would be of help too.”

          This is ‘legal justification’ of a Militia presence and use. The police, local and state government completely surrendered to the ABR’s thugs. The Police were instructed to stand down–illegally I might add by local officials. Thus this is the reason for the 2nd Amendment and the enabling legislation of the Militia Act of 1795 and then superseding Dick Act of 1903 (Title 10). The Ad-Hoc, hastily formed ‘Militia’ seen in Kenosha was completely legal under federal laws.

          When local, state and even federal official fail to act in an emergency (for any reason) then you are entitled to organize (even on an ad-hoc basis) and deploy a ‘militia’ personnel to meet threats and needs. In dire emergencies–you can also draft people to serve, stand-to or to render aid. The militia becomes the authority in such a case.

          And such a case was Kenosha where local authorities stood back and purposely allowed criminal elements to come in, burn-and-loot and commit acts of mayhem. The people had every right under the constitution and federal laws to organize a militia to protect life and property. The videos of wanton destruction by ABR types bear this need out. This is a strong law intended for such events that arise from time to time. I do not think that anyone has brought up “actions resulting from participation” in a Militia in a court of law. I am not aware of any such cases. I don’t know if Kyle’s legal team even know about the Dick Act and Title 10.

          I do know that you as a member of a militia serving in the field are subject to UCMJ regulations–and thus Kyle falls under federal jurisdiction. Kyle meets every standard of militia participation. If put into federal custody, the Commander in Chief can either pardon or dismiss all charges against Kyle Rittnehouse.

          I am not the super expert on the ‘militia of the several states’ –but Dr. Edwin Vierra is.

      • Matt Bracken September 23, 2020 at 18:20

        “There’s that interesting question of authority again.”

        To my thinking, “that question of authority” = waiting patiently and compliantly for permission to save our free constitutional republic from the very same socialist/communist actors who are planning gulags, guillotines, and gas chambers for us in their day dreams.

        The King’s Mountain Boys did not debate the “question of authority” before riding.

        And since they won the battle, and we won the war, there were no post-war “questions of authority.”

        If anyone is waiting for the “question of authority” to be resolved (by our RevCom mortal enemies) before taking action, they will be waiting in a supermax cell, or they will be staring up through cold dirt, through layers of skeletons above.

          Not at all.

          The Overmountain Men you use as an example maintained traditional authority. It was socially accepted for them to not simply exist, but be justified in their actions. It was not murder, it was warfare. They were not viewed as blowhards or social failures, but as protectors defending that traditional authority and its source (Gaelic versus English).

          This is not a thing to be “waited for”, unless tactical patience is understood. It is absolutely something that must be observed- failure to do so will mean the difference between winning the mind of the populace or being left hanging from a lamp post.

          • Joe September 23, 2020 at 21:59

            Forgive my obtuseness, but the populace is wearing contaminated surgical masks against an object, a virus, that is orders of magnitude smaller than the pore size of the mask. They will not have a say in the aftermath of the coming conflagration. They are clueless. The populace is irrelevant. They are fodder. This is NOT a fight for the hearts and minds of the populace as they don’t fucking matter. This is a fight for what rough men are willing to stand against and die fighting for. The kith and ken of rough men are what is on the line, not the soy boys and women of the “resistance” they are already doomed.

            “The populace doesn’t matter”

            Absolutely wrong. 100%, top to bottom, zero debate.

            You can always tell who’s really done this and who lives online. Let me ask you, Joe, what have you done to better the community in the last six months? Nothing? That’s what I thought. So while you’re on here lamenting the problem some of us have been busting our asses doing everything we can to fix it- in the real world.

          • Matt Bracken September 24, 2020 at 07:26

            If ABR escalates from burning Kenosha businesses to burning suburban homes, while pro-ABR politicians hold the police back, do neighborhood populations have to ask for and obtain permission from the same pro-ABR politicians who want to see them burned out before they form self defense groups, lest they be charged as illegal vigilantes or unauthorized militias?

            See the quandary? We’re in the position of asking permission from those who want us dead in the first instance.

            This is why I generally refrain from using the term militia, and call for neighborhood self-defense groups. Not “neighborhood watch,” which implies informing the police, when the police are absent based on the orders of the pro-ABR politicians.

          • NC Scout September 24, 2020 at 08:24

            I still don’t think you understand what I’m saying.

          • Coop Willis September 25, 2020 at 04:42

            I am embarrassed to admit I have an MA in Sociology with an Emphasis in Criminology circa 2001; and I had forgotten about Max Weber, one of the giants of Sociology. I have not seen the above video yet. Just been reading the comments. I glossed over some info on Weber and his theory of Authority. COPIED FROM AN ARTICLE: Weber theorized that there are three forms of authority that allow people and institutions to attain legitimate rule over society: 1. traditional, or that rooted in the traditions and values of the past that follows the logic of “this is the way things have always been”; 2. charismatic, or that premised on individual positive and admirable characteristics like heroism, being relatable, and showing visionary leadership; and 3. legal-rational, or that which is rooted in the laws of the state and represented by those entrusted to protect them. Me again: I like comparing things to the old days, which I believe goes with his traditional form of authority. Back in the old days, there were a lot of things our citizens did not tolerate. So you and Matt Bracken were discussing waiting and you said, “This is not a thing to be “waited for”, unless tactical patience is understood.” So I am asking, are you saying we need to observe and act at the correct time so we “win the minds of the populace” and don’t get hung ourselves? Right? Without blowing up your skirt to be your friend, I believe you, Matt, and some of the other veteran Warriors commenting here on American Partisan were inspired by God to be speaking about this at this time. Thanks for what y’all are doing.

            That is EXACTLY correct. Finally a thinking man gets it. :)

          The Green Mountain Boys were an unauthorized popular militia in the 1760’s and the Early Revolutionary War. They were formed illegally to resist land claims against what is now the State of Vermont from settlers from the British Provinces of New York and New Hampshire who had competing claims on the unsettled Vermont region. Prior to the Revolution, they were engaged chiefly in fighting the organized militia of those provinces and the settlers in Vermont who were loyal to New York or New Hampshire. They are best remembered today for the raid and capture on Ft Ticonderoga in May 1775 under the charismatic leadership of Ethen Allen. Benedict Arnold arrived prior to the raid on the fort and attempted to use his Massachusetts commission to conduct the raid as evidence that he should command. The Green Mountain Boys would have none of it and refused too serve under anyone except Allen. They were only barely persuaded to allow Arnold into one of the boats as an observer. This unauthorized militia remained in existence through the 1777 Burgoyne Campaign in the Hudson River valley and the establishment of the Vermont Republic that same year. I’m pretty sure that the Continental Congress did it’s best to pretend they did not exist and to only call on them in desperate circumstances such as Hubardston and Bennington. They are are rare example of an illegal irregular force that existed outside of legal authority, survived, won their battles, and left behind a positive legacy in the minds of the people populating the region in which they operated. Choosing your own leaders, winning, keeping the locals happy, and knowing when to demobilize will go a long way in securing a positive outcome.

          • NC Scout September 24, 2020 at 00:46

            And yet they reflected the authority of their mass base.

            Why this is so damn difficult to understand completely baffles me. They didn’t ‘choose’ their leaders either, their leaders were the ones putting the rifles in their hands and keeping them and their families fed. Why would anyone follow a broke clown with a mouth when there’s a wealthy, respected guy who’s actually kicked asses handing out muskets (or AKs) and cheap beer to the fired up crowd?

  7. Donald Walter September 23, 2020 at 15:50

    Could somebody explain how it was that none of the other guards that Kyle was with came to his aid?

    • mike September 23, 2020 at 17:43

      It is hard to say since they do not appear in any video I have seen once the violence begins. It appears that the ABR tactic of “nonviolently” crowding and intimidating the guard’s skirmish line worked as designed and most of them gave ground and fell back someplace else. They evidently had no plan to deal with such a situation, which is exactly what the ABR plan anticipated. The guard’s plan seems to have been nothing beyond stand in the parking lot and intimidate with open carry of rifles. Obviously they never discussed when and how they would open fire and when and how to break contact if required. Kyle seems to have become isolated in the confusion and did not realize he was alone until ABR shifted into going for his rifle. They might have even specifically targeted him for isolation as an easy mark based upon his obvious youth. I’m willing to bet that the ABR “journalist” scout who interviewed Kyle before things got hot was the person who suggested Kyle to the ABR commander.

      • Matt Bracken September 24, 2020 at 07:31

        Very good observations, I agree with you.
        Standing in front of a business in open-carry mode is a losing proposition. ABR knows how to deal with it by crowding in and splitting up the defenders, while maintaining a level of violence below that calling for lethal force against them. That is, until Kyle was the lone lost defender, and they went for him.

    • Curious Passerby September 24, 2020 at 01:53

      I think the video made a good point-I had not previously heard about the video showing Kyle running past with a fire extinguisher. I wasn’t sure how he lost his group, but if he tried to go put out a fire alone, it makes sense he ended up separated from his fellow guards. I never saw any reports about what happened to the rest of his group and wondered where they ended up after Kyle finished first place in the inaugural running of the Kyle Rittinghouse Kenosha Biathlon.

    Also, what was not mentioned, at 6:38 you can see bicep guy running and reaching for his concealed illegal weapon to attack the kid.
