The news hit late last evening. An attacker drove into a crowd at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin. It seemed pretty obvious pretty immediately that someone had done this in response to the Rittenhouse trial. That does appear to be the case. Reuters is currently referring to it as the “
I think the real issue is credibility. The main stream media is on a slippery slope downwards. We are getting close to the time when the majority of citizens will no longer believe anything that is in print or on the TV. This could be very bad for the republic if we were to have a real emergency.
If Kyle Rittenhouse was black, would he have received the same treatment? I dont believe so. History says no. Stats say no. I dont think Rittenhouse was wrong, legally. He should have borne some kind of responsibility for his actions, but not murder. However if this was a black teen the coverage and treatment wouldn't be the same. He definitely wouldn't be hailed as a right wing "hero"...He would be lumped in with the looters and rioters. Guaranteed.
I don't trust MSNBC hosts any more than I trust Tucker Carlson. They are all frauds, hucksters, charlatans and rating whores. There is no "straight" news anymore, you need to filter out all the crap that both sides spew in order to get their respective tribes to tune in.
This column is irresponsible, which is uncharacteristic and unworthy of Mr. Erickson. He makes one factual error about Kyle Rittenhouse, which is that he most definitely did cross the state line. He lives in Antioch, Illinois, and came to Kenosha, Wisconsin. However, that is fairly minor and is not my problem with the column.
No motive has been given for the despicable excuse of a human being who plowed his SUV into the crowd at the Waukesha Christmas parade. It is premature and irresponsible to assume that this has anything to do with the Rittenhouse case. The man in custody has been identified (the following is from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel):
"A 39-year-old Milwaukee man with an open court case related to domestic violence has been taken into custody, according to a law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the situation. The Associated Press also confirmed the man's identity Monday morning.
Darrell Brooks Jr., the man suspected of being the driver, has been charged three times in less than two years with recklessly endangering the safety of others, most recently on Nov. 5 as part of a domestic abuse incident for which he was also charged with resisting or obstructing an officer.
Brooks was released from jail on Friday after posting bond in the recent incident, according to court records. He also was charged in July 2020 with two felony counts of second-degree recklessly endangering the safety of others using a dangerous weapon. Both cases are ongoing.
Authorities have have not publicly disclosed what they believe was the man's motivation. One law enforcement source told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the man had been involved in an earlier incident on Sunday, possibly also related to domestic abuse, just before the parade carnage occurred."
I live just a few miles from Waukesha and the victims of this horrendous act and the citizens of Waukesha do not deserve this idle speculation. This may or may not be related to race, it may or may not be related to the Rittenhouse case or it may be another sorry excuse of a human being taking his anger out on innocent bystanders.
Please, just wait for the facts to come out. This is awful enough as it is. Please don't pile on.
Why hasn’t MSNBC been sued? Is it illegal to sue networks for spreading verifiable false information? Hopefully Rittenhouse will step up to the plate as he was personally affected. It’s past time these networks had to pay the piper. Hope someone with deep pockets will assist Rittenhouse along this path!
Why are Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers vilified to an extent that random people outside politics know of them, but Philly billionaire Brian Roberts - friend of Obama, funder of anti-white, anti-American verbal attacks 24/365 - is completely anonymous. Brian Roberts and his family legally control Concast (which they got from their daddy), and media reports say they have ceded legal control to him. So he could stop the hate on his network with a single email or phone call. It's time the country learned about Brian's funding of hate.
Sadly, with Leftwing Democrats controlling (and trolling) the Media, and thus the Narrative--they can do a lot of damage and division. It appears the driver of the SUV was a Black BLM supporter who was out on bail. The possibility that this was racially motivated will be down-played . He will be referred to as a "person" and the Press will pretend to not understand the motive. And the MSNBC/CNN/NYT/ABC's of the world will avoid the obvious with the noble excuse..."We do not was to stir up racial tensions." Gutter journalism.
Despicable! Rittenhouse is a hero. The driver of the SUV, no matter their motive, is either a reckless drunk or worse, an instrument of pure evil mowing down innocent grandmothers and young women. If the Left wants a civil war, they will get it and be crushed by the true patriots in this country.
And those organized mobs of thugs who attacked Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, etc. in broad daylight are simply over-eager shoppers getting an early start on the Black Lives Matter Friday specials.

Riots (or "Mostly Peaceful Protests") help drive ratings. That's what natters.
You know one cannot rationalize or discuss anything with an American Marxist Democrat. BLM and Antifa are a against anything other than the agenda.

does anyone even with that network?
Yes. They do.

I’m so tired of the race baiters that will find any opportunity to insert race into the equation. They are slowly losing their audience..
We should begin a campaign to remove Brian Robert’s as CEO of Comcast.
