Lin Wood, lawyer for Sandmann, is on it.

A Texas legal foundation is planning to help defend Kyle Rittenhouse and will accept donations after GoFundMe took down fundraisers

The #FightBack Foundation will take donations for Rittenhouse's legal defense and says to not donate elsewhere. GoFundMe has taken down pages.

I'm laughing at your comment, but angry that an attempt was made to attack a US Senator. Doesn't matter what the Party affiliation is, I'd be pissed even if was Nancy Pelosi or Chuck U Schumer. It is far past time to stop this crap!

There is next to zero doubt in my mind that the “protesters” who are in reality feral jobless rioter scum, are being paid. It doesnt take a rocket surgeon to figure out.

Where is the money coming from? To be sure it’s coordinated by operatives once removed from the DNC and Soros types. The actual funding is by companies like NIKE who donated millions to BLM and Antifa. Where else do you think they’re spending those millions? Where else do you think the losers you see on TV that pretend to be protesters are getting their meals, hotels, masks, weapons, and NIKE shoes from? These feral animals don’t have jobs...

The companies who many buy shit from are funding the violence.

Where else do you think the losers you see on TV that pretend to be protesters are getting their meals, hotels, masks, weapons, and NIKE shoes from?

I think a lot of those Nike shoes come from the stores they loot. The insurance companies are keeping the shoe business booming.

Lefty media and pols have fallen into a Kyle Rittenhouse trap; They labeled him a "white supremacist" with no evidence at all. Nick Sandmann's lawyer Lin Wood knows a sitting duck when he sees it.

Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse already is turning into a nightmare for the progressives who immediately demonized him. The seventeen-year-old boy who traveled to Kenosha with his semi-automatic rifle to defend property from mob destruction appeared at first to be a perfect example of what novelist Tom Wolfe called “The Great White Defendant” in his satirical novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities. Kyle’s white (strike one), he carried a semi-automatic “assault rifle” (strike two), he loves the police (strike three), and even worse, he shot three people demonstrating against allegedly racist cops (by burning and looting businesses of people innocent of anything other than owning a business).
Those committed to the narrative cops hunting down innocent blacks, aka “systemic racism,” knew in their bones that he had to be a “white supremacist,” and said so right away.
Squad member Ayanna Presley:

A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.

He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.

Fix your damn headlines. — Ayanna Pressley (@AyannaPressley) August 27, 2020

Although I am no constitutional scholar, this statement on Twitter probably does not fall under the Article 1 section 6 grant of immunity for statements in speech or debate.
She was not alone in taking to Twitter with a poisonous racialist label:

Blake’s mother condemns riots, apologizes to Trump; WI DOJ says he had knife in car, fought police before he was shot

In an interview with CNN Tuesday, Jacob Blake’s mother, Julia Jackson, condemned the rioting and unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin that has continued for days after her son was shot by a Kenosha Police Department officer on Sunday.
Jackson said, “My family and I are very hurt. And quite frankly disgusted. And as his mother, please don’t burn up property and cause havoc and tear your own homes down in my son’s name. You shouldn’t do it."
Asked if she wanted to say anything to elected officials or the presidential candidates on the campaign trail, Jackson apologized to President Donald Trump for another family member’s critical remarks. She said, “For our President Trump, first I want to say a family member — and I don’t know if it was heard or not — said something that was not kind. She is hurting, and I do apologize for that. Our outburst does not reflect our behavior.”
Jackson also said, “For President Trump, I’m sorry I missed your call because had I not missed your call, maybe the comments that you made would have been different. And I’m not mad at you at all. I have the utmost respect for you as the leader of our country. Like I said before, and I’m not saying this to him directly, we should always get the details from the right source before we start throwing bricks.”

Chaos Erupts In DC After GOP Convention; Rand Paul And Wife Chased Down Street By BLM Protesters


We really should have a separate forum for CNN watchers so we can post news clips of what they missed happening in the world each day..

We should really get a dose of truth

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claims that his life was saved by police Thursday night when he says he was “attacked by an angry mob” of protesters when leaving the White House after President Donald Trump’s big Republican National Convention speech.

Videos of the confrontation appear to show that the senator was heckled, but not actually touched by protesters. He only confirmed later that he and his party were not harmed in the incident.

Paul tweeted early Friday: “Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to DC Police Dept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.”

He was not harmed in the incident because of the good work by the DC Police Department. If they had not been there what would your "peaceful" demonstrators had done?

 

[sebastiantombs]

Wonder what your reaction would have been, ct? Oh, that's right, they're all peaceful protesters who were screaming they were going to beat the hell out of him, and he sponsored the bill to stop "knockless" warrants.

 

[bigredfish]

Because he had about a 1/2 dozen DC cops surrounding him..? You really need to turn the channel..

THIS is the truth
"It's become so dangerous for us and I don't hear Joe Biden or Kamala Harris saying one thing about the violence. This mob is their voters. This is the new Democrat party, and if we don't resist this, the United States is going to become Portland. We're going to become Chicago. All of these failed cities Democrats have run, the president said in his speech," he said. "If we allow them to take over the White House, we are going to become Portland, the country will be on fire, we have to have law and order and we have to support the police. I can't say that strong enough."

The Liar in Chief's special lies of the day

Claim : "If you give power to Joe Biden, the radical left will defund police departments all across America"

President Trump attacked his Democratic rival over law and order, against the backdrop of the recent unrest in US cities.
Since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May, there have been calls to "defund the police".
Donald Trump and other Republicans have claimed that Joe Biden supports this but Mr Biden has said repeatedly that he does not.
In June, he told CBS News: "I don't support defunding the police".

Claim : "The United States has among the lowest case fatality rates of any major country in the world"
President Trump didn't mention that the US has the world's highest overall number of Covid-19 deaths, nearly 180,000.

Instead, he highlighted the case fatality rate - the ratio of deaths to confirmed cases. Of those who tested positive for coronavirus, how many have died?
It's true the US rate is relatively low on this measure compared with most major European countries, including the UK.
It's not the lowest in the world - Norway, Japan, and South Korea are all lower, for example.

Claim : "He [Joe Biden] has pledged a $4 trillion tax hike on almost all American families"
Trump is correct that the Biden plan would lead to $4 trillion in revenues (over a decade), according to analysis by the Tax Policy Centre.

However, this claim is misleading as the taxes would target the wealthiest Americans - not "almost all American families".
The Tax Policy Centre found that 93% of the tax increases would be paid by taxpayers in the top fifth of households.
High earners would see "substantially larger tax increases than households in other income groups, both in dollar amounts and as a share of their incomes."
Mr Biden has told ABC News that he would only raise taxes for those earning more than $400,000 a year.

Claim : "We obliterated 100% of the ISIS caliphate"
It's true the Islamic State group's territory - a "caliphate" it declared in 2014 across parts of Iraq and Syria - came to an end during Mr Trump's period in office.
The US-led alliance overcame the group in its last stronghold in Syria, March 2019.
Iraqi government forces recaptured the city of Mosul in July 2017

But as the BBC reported at the time "despite the demise of its physical caliphate, IS remains a battle-hardened and well-disciplined force whose "enduring defeat is not assured."
On 12 August, a top US military official laid out what was needed to score an enduring defeat against IS, noting the group still posed a threat.

Claim : "We will always, and very strongly, protect patients with pre-existing conditions, and that is a pledge from the entire Republican Party"
This refers to a requirement that health insurance companies can't charge people more if they have pre-existing conditions.
It became law with President Obama's signature domestic policy - the Affordable Care Act, known as "Obamacare".

Donald Trump and the Republican party want to repeal Obamacare and replace it, but have failed to do so despite pushing for it in Congress.
In June, the administration asked the US Supreme Court to permanently end Obamacare - which includes those provisions for people with pre-existing conditions.

All fake news. Biden said during an interview that he was for transferring funds away from the police. It was during the interview with the handicap person and occurred after the June interview with CBS.

As to Covid-19 we are most likely testing more people per capita then anywhere in the world. Of course you will have more cases show up with increased testing. President Trump is correct on the death rate and IMHO that is what really matters. Some people have Covid-19 and did not know it.

As to taxes that story by ABC is just bogus. Wait until the Green New Deal is implemented.

As to ISIS, President Trump is absolutely correct. The Caliphate is 100% gone. What we have left is splinter groups. By the way ISIS is all Obama and Biden's doing. They were the ones who were funding the Rebels who were trying to overthrow Assad in Syria.

As to pre-existing conditions President Trump has always supported that.

Judge voids 50,000 absentee ballot requests in Iowa county

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A judge ordered an Iowa county Thursday to invalidate 50,000 requests for absentee ballots, agreeing with President Donald Trump’s campaign that its elections commissioner overstepped his authority by pre-filling them with voters’ personal information.
Judge Ian Thornhill issued a temporary injunction ordering Linn County Auditor Joel Miller to notify voters in writing that the forms should not have been pre-filled with their information and cannot be processed. Instead, they’ll have to either fill out new requests for absentee ballots or vote on Election Day.

Kenosha Police and US Marshals Arrest 9 Suspects with Gas Cans and Commercial Fireworks Near Washington Rd and 30th Ave, Kenosha

Kenosha police and United States Marshals on the evening of Wednesday August 26, 2020 responded to a citizen tip that several suspicious vehicles with out of state plates were meeting in a remote lot near State Highway 50 and Green Bay Road.
Police located the suspicious vehicles and took up surveillance, assisted by the United States Marshals. The vehicles were a black school bus, a bread truck and a tan minivan. Kenosha police confirmed that the vehicles had out of state license plates, and followed the vehicles as they traveled to a gas station near Washington Road and 30th Avenue. Police observed the occupants of the black bus and bread truck exit and attempt to fill multiple fuel cans.
Law enforcement officers suspected that the occupants of the vehicles were preparing for criminal activity related to the civil unrest, and attempted to make contact with the vehicle occupants and investigate the scene.
The law enforcement officers, while wearing proper identification exited their vehicles, identified themselves, and then detained the occupants of the bus and bread truck.
The driver of the minivan attempted to drive away; however, Kenosha police officers stopped the vehicle and ultimately forced entry into the minivan and arrested the occupants.
The vehicles contained helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks, and suspected controlled substances.Nine individuals were arrested accused of disorderly conduct, and are pending charging decisions by the Kenosha County District Attorney, according to the Kenosha Police Department.

You are right. Biden didn't say he wants to defund police. He said he wants to redirect funding from police. Completely different.

Good grief. So tiring.

 

[bigredfish]

The government's primary purpose is to protect it's citizens. I'm normally not for violence, but this is becoming a cancer that will spread to the rest of the country if not handled soon. These are not protesters. They are terrorists. Civil rights do not apply.

This becomes more real every passing day. Its not going to end well for them at some point
