    Which is why other peoples' shops and homes are being burned down?
    It doesn't have to be organized to be an identifiable movement. Anti-Semitism isn't a group. Al-Qaida is less a group than a philosophy.
    I've responded to you several times in this thread. :shrug:

    You don't think a teenager going into a potentially violent situation with an AR-15 isn't radicalized?

    Do you get this kid's life is over?

    Do you get that, even if he isn't behind bars the rest of his life, that he will never have a normal life?

    This area, between Lake County and Kenosha county is chock full of small towns. Towns where everyone knows everyone and their mama.

    This kid is now Brock Turner and Monica Lewinsky. He is radioactive.

    He will not be able to join the police. Even if he gets an education, no corporation around here is going to hire him. If he gets married, how will he help support his partner and any potential children?

    Do you not get that?

    How can you look at that and not see that his actions were radical?

    He doesn't want an actual discussion, he just want to mock and use straw men and hyperbole then when you provide an actual discussion point he marks it tl;dr.

    Friend of mine went to this. Talked to Jesse Jackson. I’d post all the pics, but I’d probably fuck it up again and ... can’t have that.

    What is it that you think the police report proves? The crimes he was arrested for? None of that is in dispute that I'm aware of.

    Who are they? Where are they? Where's their HQ? Who's the leadership? Do they have a secret handshake, a website, a FB page, a Twitter account? Are they perhaps the "people in black uniforms who are controlling Sleepy Joe Biden" that Your Boy Donnie was babbling to Laura Ingraham about the other day?

    First time I heard of them was some drool by rightists looking for somebody else to target. If you know who they are, tell us. Otherwise, go get fitted for that federale uniform.

    I did. Note the part where a witness reports Rittenhouse is running away and Rosenbaum is chasing him. Note where Rosenbaum grabs for his gun. :shrug:

    IMO, QAnon is one guy with mad Internet skills who's attracted the kind of people who claim they'd be willing to take hydroxychloroquine if they got COVID-19 "because it's cheap. It's like 10 cents a dose." (Seriously, some idiot on FB posted that.) Dude, generic aspirin costs 5 cents a dose. It will at least reduce your fever. :jayzus:

    ETA: :idea: Enterpriser is QAnon!

    So, you read what you wanted to read.

    Here’s a few eyewitness accounts.

    Oh, and..
    Did you type that on a computer? Do you have a smartphone in your purse? Do you travel by some mass-produced machine to and from a place of employment where you presumably earn money? Do you have a TV, internet, streaming services, kitchen appliances in a home that was constructed using manufactured building materials? Fridge and cupboards full of store-bought produce? Did you finance any of it using some kind of high-interest financial product? Did you weave your clothing out of hemp fibers you grew in your own fucking heirloom garden? You say "fuck capitalism," but you slobber on its fat, meaty cock every goddamned day. The word for that is hypocrite.

    Now cue the excuses and rationalizations. How are we justifying "Judge me by what I say, and not what I do!"? "It's the environment I was born into. I need these things to comfort me in an awful world. :sob: " Tough shit, princess. The "glorious workers' revolution" starts with you, comrade. :hammer: Cast off the trappings of bourgeoisie consumerism. Put your ration booklet where your mouth is and prove you will embrace the same sacrifices you would ask of anyone else.

    Capitalism didn’t create computers and smartphones. People did. And those same things could have been invented under socialism.

    Yeah, been reading Lenny Bruce's autobiography and his rants about racism and police brutality could have been written this year. And then you think about the fact that for many folks what Bruce was saying was old news and you really get depressed.

    The difference being that fascism is real, and the cabal of satanic pedophiles who secretly run the world is not.

    Now, the cabal of satanic lizard people pedophiles who secretly run the world is another story. They also supply Queen Elizabeth II with black tar heroin that she has smuggled to America's inner-cities in order that England can take back her colonies.

    Risible ideas that kill people deserve mockery.
    A board where you and your pals get to be ridiculous and have your butts kissed at the same time exists, but it isn't called Wordforge, it's called Stormfront.

    It had a couple big words, but that doesn't make it smart.
    I could just as easily apply his point to the cops themselves.

    You are being way too pessimistic, or maybe not pessimistic enough.

    Rittenhouse already has a ton of support, given that he's on video killing two people.

    It is entirely possible that he will be acquitted of any crimes, and even if convicted, that he will not have to serve anywhere near the time a double-murderer would because of his age and political pressure.

    Nothing says he is going to have to stay in Antioch.

    I'm guessing it's more than likely he will move to some red state and be treated like a hero. Right wingers are already rallying around him, and win or lose in the criminal trial, they will squeeze the juice out of him until he's all used up. Parade him around as a proud symbol of our 2nd Amendment rights, our need for law & order, the unfairness of the criminal justice system or however they want to frame it.

    His celebrity will come with Go Fund Mes, book sales, movie deals, or whatever else.

    Some ghouls will pay crazy money for the AR-15 he used (although I understand he borrowed it) or other guns he owned.

    He has an automatic pipeline to some job with a right-wing lobbying firm or non-profit.

    He will earn ridiculous speaking fees even though -- no offense --chances are he has little to say.

    I think he has a lot more upside than a double-killer probably deserrves.
