Anyone else spotting how the Right is successfully setting the stage for militias and vigilantes?

We have a Republican governor in Florida encouraging vehicle drivers to mow down protesters. We had Zimmerman who was allowed to be a vigilante and got away with murdering a young man, Treyvon Martin. And now Rittenhouse, who was allowed to play combat medic for a day, without any experience whatsoever, and kills 2 people. And, of course, we have the January 6th Insurrection day, which appears to be letting most of the transgressor with barely any jail time.

What could possibly go wrong?

1. Plus the $10,000 award in Texas for citizens who turn in women for exercising freedom of choice. Not the exact same as your examples but it’s in the same ballpark.

3. This is exactly what I see from the corporate coup de'ta

Drafting the fools of anarchy for their army.

Our Democracy is under attack by those carrying out the bidding for those who benefit.

Start an investigation into the funding
at the top...and charge with seditious subversion of our Democracy.

6. Tucker Carlson has actually been telling his viewers to engage in vigilantism. He said since the country is being stolen by socialists and communists, and nobody is stopping them, the people will have to grab their guns and do it instead.

7. They've been laying the groundwork for decades.

Militias were noticed by the public during Clinton's presidency, but they didn't just magically appear. Nor did they go away during the Bush years.

Militias, teabaggers disrupting town halls, media control. . . . the plan is coming together for them.

Kenosha police - and the police in too many other cities - did not do their jobs. They did not protect people and property. Consequently, honest citizens had a choice forced on them: let themselves be killed or raped or plundered; fight back. It's a choice forced on them by the rioters and the politicians who ordered or intimidated police into not doing their jobs.

When Progs denounce self-defense as "vigilantism" they make themselves abettors of the killers, rapists, and plunderers. As a place keeper for more vehement expression that might be misconstrued as a threat of violence, may DUmmies like Baitball Blogger step on a Lego!

The vigilantism will happen in response to your side starting more riots and looting.

" We had Zimmerman who was allowed to be a vigilante and got away with murdering a young man, Treyvon Martin."
That was a VERY clear case of self- defense on Zimmerman's part, numbnuts. That thug Trayvon was trying to beat him to death, Zimmerman at first tried screaming for help, and only shot Trayvon when it became clear that no other help would come to him in time. He didn't even realize Trayvon was dead until the police were questioning him about it afterwards, meaning he wasn't deliberately shooting to kill. This is in contrast to sweet little Trayvon, who while brutally beating Zimmerman, was heard loudly shouting "You gonna die tonight, B***h!" Eyewitness testimony and medical/ forensic evidence heavily corroborated Zimmerman's account of how things happened, while all the prosecution had to offer were shallow emotional appeals, race- baiting, and the testimony of one witness whose credibility was called into VERY serious question during cross- examination.

" And, of course, we have the January 6th Insurrection day, which appears to be letting most of the transgressor with barely any jail time."
Most of the "transgressors" that day, idiots though they were, did not commit any acts of violence. Only a few of them really did.

Let's take a look at who acts as vigilantes:

1) Rosenbaum - tried to assault and disarm someone who wasn't being aggressive or assaulting anyone

2) Huber - Assaulted someone without knowing that he'd just acted in self defense

3) Grosskreutz - Pulled an illegally possessed concealed weapon and aimed it at someone without knowing why he fired at Rosenbaum

OK, DUmmies, tell us again who is acting as vigilantes.

Somebody needs to educate the DUmmie about jail time unjustly served by Jan 6th 1st Amendment supporters.

"Militias" have been a Prog Bogeyman so long I don't remember whether they started using that paranoid fantasy during the Obama, GWB, or Clinton years.





Progs' Militia Card is almost as worn through with holes as Progs' Race Card! Pathetic, ::)  :tongue: .

From my memory, it really took off during Clinton's administration. 

A lot of people realized the media clearly put their thumb on the scale to get Billy Jeff elected and keep GHWB from a second term; the media retaliated by hyping the "militia threat" as if the country was suddenly brimming with them.  If you look at the high profile incidents, you have Randy Weave in Idaho (iirc) and the Branch Davidians in Waco.  Very isolated situations, and both were instigated by the government.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

Vigilantes actually pretty well describes the people trying to get Rittenhouse convicted.

Vigilantes are the natural result of law enforcement NOT doing its job. Like when Democrat mayors order the police to stand down and watch cities burn. The only reason Portland and Seattle have not gone vigilante is the Left has disarmed and emasculated the populace.

WRONG

The left is setting the stage for militias and vigilantes.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
