It is probably insurrection using the new definition. Certainly inciting violence.

UK News Publication Claims Kyle Rittenhouse Shot ‘Three Black Men’

And that was today after the trial ended.

"The Independent falsely claimed that Kyle Rittenhouse “shot three black men with rifle” after he was cleared of two charges of murder, one charge of attempted murder, and two charges of reckless endangerment in Kenosha, Wisconsin."

Because of the false reporting at the beginning of all this last summer people have it in their heads that he shot black people. The media is evil now.


Yeah, no. UK newspaper reports something wrong in the US. No biggie. Maybe read more than one source of news.

No biggie? Completely false reporting is "no biggie?" You, sir, are blind to what is going on with the media.

How many times have either your or EB complained about false reporting from conservative news sites?

I rest my case.

Not if you live in Portland apparently. Nothing says I disagree with a verdict more than burning down and looting businesses over 1000 miles away….

They probably wanted to get the rioting done before Rittenhouse had time to get there.

Touché!!!! Sadly, the law was not equipped to convict him. The moment he shot those guys to me he was acting in self defense. Clearly. Unequivocally. But I’ve thought about what I think is a reasonable analogy. A KKK member in full garb goes to an African American neighborhood and uses a bullhorn to spout racist N word containing diatribes. As he is about to have the shit kicked out of him he takes his concealed firearm and mows down those approaching with violent intent. Assume those approaching all had weapons. The KKK guy was acting in self defense, but I think (and so did the Rittenhouse prosecutors) that the law needs to figure out some crime to convict Mr. KKK guy of.
