    At least both people shot and killed were a pedophile sex offender, and a domestic abuser/strangler

    Not to mention, Kyle Rittenhouse turned himself into the police. Whereas Jacob Blake resisted arrest.

    Public protests are not invitation-only, guest-listed events. Held in public spaces, they are open to all. No one who shows up is "crashing" the event.

    Have a known point of view to advance and plan to do so in a loud way in a public place, and you are inviting those with opposing views, some peaceful and some violent. You'll also attract those who agree with you and who share your views, but who want to express them with violence.

    It's a conceit to think that one successfully held a peaceful protest in a public place that was made violent by someone who didn't belong there. If your goal was peace, and you had violence, then you were unsuccessful. You failed. Accept responsibility for your part in it, and try a different approach next time.

    Those who enjoy violence on the left are generally referred to as radicals. Those who enjoy violence on the right are generally referred to as reactionaries. There's really no difference between them - they're there for the violence, so avoid political labels and focus on the behavior.

    What did you do wrong if you attempted to organise a peaceful event but instead organised a violent one? Well, for one thing, you blamed someone else (outsiders, interlopers, uninvited guests) for the outcome. You held it in a public place. In doing so, you invited everyone, including those who may not agree with you, and those prone to violence, whether left, right, or ideologically neutral.

    So if we want to protest a policy, we need to do it in private? Or take responsibility for the actions of those actively seeking to discredit the movement by engaging in false flag violence? Brilliant!

    It’s a bad idea to go to a riot. But he shot those crooks after knocking him to the ground.

    You defending pedos now?

    Did Rittenhouse have reason to think one of them was a pedophile? And would it matter? You do seem to be suggesting it would. A private individual executing people. I call that vigilantism. As for the "self efense" angle, he was walking around in the middle of a riot with a long gun. We'll see what the jury does with that.

    The videos I've seen show him 1st shooting a guy who threw a molotov cocktail at him and continued to chase him as he tried to escape. He shot a second guy who was chasing him and began beating him with a skateboard after he fell.
    He shot a third guy who approached him with a handgun pointed at him.
    An interview earlier in the day says that he was there to protect property. Seems the riot came to an armed citizen, not visa-versa.

    You know how most boogaloos vote? Not right wing and not racist? You love to reverse issues, just like typical republicans do. They are a far right extremist group and you know it. Why lie about something so easily provable?

    Plus, if you try to bludgeon someone who's openly carrying a gun with your skateboard, what do you think is going to happen?

    Blaming others for your own failure as a host, guest, or participant - weak and childish. You're hosting a pity party, not a movement. A movement requires adult responsibility. Leave the movement to the adults in the street capable of accepting responsibility for their actions.

    So you don't think protest activities are legitimate? Who, by the way, are the "adults"? The right wingers?
