There's video of #KenoshaShooter as well as video of militia members explaining to each other that the police planned to push protesters at the militia members so they (the #Militia ) could take care of the protesters. 1/13

Then, later that night, the #kenoshapolicedepartment tossed bottles of water to those militia members and thanked them for their help while simultaneously telling protesters they had to leave the area because they were "civilians."

2/13

Then the militia members staged themselves 3 blocks south of 60th street and the police kettled protesters to 60th street. It was then that this militia member shot one of the protesters in the head with an AR-15.

3/13

After shooting this protester, #rittenhouse (the shooter) walked down the street among the protesters who identified him as the shooter and attempted to disarm and stop him.

4/13

Rittenhouse "falls" down, then shoots the two people who happened to be closest to him, killing one (his second murder victim within minutes of each other) and injuring the other, then gets up and starts walking towards the police, AR-15 strapped to his chest.

5/13

Seconds after this militia member shot two unarmed protesters, Rittenhouse passes an on-foot police officer who took off towards the downed (shot) protesters, passing right by the shooter, despite people yelling that he was the shooter.

6/13

Then Rittenhouse continued walking down the middle of the street, #AR15 still strapped to his chest, changing stance from having his hands in the air to holding the butt of his rifle while . . .

7/13

continuing to walk towards 3 police vehicles, two of which look like MWRAP military vehicles being used by local police.

So after the MWRAPS pass the shooter, despite several screams that the guy in the middle of the road with the AR-15 was the shooter, . . .

8/13

the MWRAPS passed him, then said over loudspeaker that they were going to help injured people.

Rittenhouse then moved toward the passenger side of the police vehicle, to the point where it appears he's actually touching the passenger-side . . .

9/13

door of the police car and then backs up, hand on his weapon, and the police - all of them - let Rittenhouse just walk away, only to be apprehended a day later.

10/13

It appears that as the #TrumpCrimeFamily and the #Republicans crank up the rhetoric against minorities, and as he promotes the use of militia members to work in conjunction with local police departments - without being deputized at all - . . .

11/13

the likelihood of a race war (civil war) is more and more likely.

This country is devolving quickly. #CivilWar2020 appears to be coming to a city near you very soon. This is #TrumpsAmeriKKKa .

12/13

This is what #Trump wants. Before long, if you aren't a supporter of Trump, you'll be an enemy of the country, jailed, shot, or interned somewhere.

#Hitler rises again.
