    Rittenhouse - shoots 3 people, walks past heavily armed cops with the smoking gun, flees the state, is taken in alive and well

    Leftist - summarily executed

    Curious.

      This is why if you end up removing one, you cannot rest after that.

      You now have a timer on your account.

      If you remove one you have to then remove as many as possible afterwards, before your inevitable removal.

      In minecraft, of course

        It has stunk from the beginning. First thing I noticed was how fresh his very noticeable people's fist neck tat was, probably the one of the easiest identifiers you could have. Then I looked at the stuff chuds were posting about him like livestream stills from earlier where he looks extremely suspicious walking around seemingly looking for something. He apparently is on video reaching for his gun when someone bumps into him but he puts it back when he realizes it's a BLM protestor. Then there was his social media history which showed him working as a roofer relatively recently with no neck tat, no political posts before the last few months then all of a sudden tons of cringey left wing extremism. I know what most working class white leftists are like and this dude just doesn't fit the bill. He was apparently arrested recently for driving 111mph while high on weed and pills with a loaded illegal firearm with his two children in the car. He seems to just keep getting let go for shit they'd usually book him for, and then after walking around the protest alone looking sus all night he just fucking domes that guy almost immediately after realizing he's a fascist.

        I know people are scared of seeming like a loony conspiracy theorist but this is a fascist movement and fascists have literally always used false flags.

          I think it's reasonable to say that someone could do most of the things you said and have it just be some sort of manic episode caused from this crisis that makes them very rapidly get into any sort of extremist ideology.

          This said, the media attention is what makes it so obviously fake.

            That plus the fact that the cops let him go so many times on serious charges. Imagine getting let go after being busted for carrying a loaded unregistered firearm at an anti-poloce protest lol.

    turned in by his own fucking family

    “We reached out to police and confirmed that we recognized Michael in the screenshots,” Reinoehl’s sister was reported to have said after seeing the footage of her apparently estranged brother who is a professional snowboarder.

    Guys, guys, it’s fine. He just “died” when they went to arrest him. He probably died of old age or something.

      Golly, he could have had any number of comorbidities! I bet if you look into it, a pretty high percentage of people who just happen to die in police-involved deadly bullet insertion incidents have at least one comorbidity.

        Being left wing in the US is a pre-existing condition tbf. Y’know, scratch that, living in the US at all is a pre-existing condition.

      Op or just a politically naive person radicalised, it kind of doesn't matter. Our support shouldn't change.

          Yeah, the more I look at it the more it seems it's not an op and he's just a former radlib who was in that first euphoric flash of radicalisation.

          But it's still really really odd. Maybe he was set up for this as a prov action?

            I mean the more I look at it the more he looks like an op. 48 yr old white pill head getting busted for illegal firearms is not exactly a common radlib demographic. He could just be a mentally unstable guy having a psychotic break.

            A big issue is that the protests have failed to develop very much organization to keep these sorts of people in line. Even if the guy was genuine, he was kinda allowed to join the protests and do whatever in the name of decentralization or whatever. Nobody is keeping tabs on exactly who is on the ground so you get feds and/or weird people mixed in

      It's all so odd. Are we sure the fasc he popped was real and it wasn't staged? Remember how hard and fast the street medic was shoved away at the scene? ___
