This is real and in print at nytimes:

The report goes out of its way to promote armed antifa “security” as praiseworthy experts in “de-escalation” ...

IN A STORY ABOUT AN ANTIFA GUY MURDERING SOMEONE AND THEN DYING IN A SHOOT OUT WITH POLICE. nytimes.com/2020/09/03/us/…
OMFG ... please tell me the subject matter expert nytimes relied on to outline Antifa’s armed “security” de-escalation protocol is not the same guy who did this ...
Quite the de-escalation expert this guy was, eh?

This is the definitive thread on the Rittenhouse shooting. Prosecutors might want to rethink Murder1.

All I would add is that an eyewitness told me there was a scuffle prior to Rittenhouse running away, in which protesters shouted encouragement to accost him and grab his gun.
I would also add that elected members of Congress and some in the media have made a serious effort to cast Rittenhouse as a part of an extremist group or white nationalist group. There is NO evidence to support that assertion thus far.
.@trbrtc even located the muzzle flash of a handgun immediately preceding Rittenhouse's first four shots.

(So it comes as no surprise he's a @bellingcat alum.)

This particular shot could have come from the man Rittenhouse later injured with gunfire, seen carrying a handgun.

What an absolutely shameful way for the @AP to start a story about a shooting. This is disgusting. Furthermore, I’m still sorting it out, but I know several people on the ground out there who saw things unfold differently. This is incomplete and shameful storytelling. Wow.
A eyewitness tells me “Regardless the idea that this kid just randomly opened fire on innocent protesters is false. Absolutely. There was a scuffle, the first victim tried to get the weapon out of his hands. The other shooting happened after the guy with the gun fell down and ..”
“ ... people can be heard shouting lets get him and then try to get on him/get his gun and he fired again. Seems like a young kid not equipped to keep his head in the moment, but not some right-wing based sort of massacre.”

Guys, people who have worn masks have died too, cmon
Guys, I’m not saying that there’s no obvious hygenic benefit to wearing a mask. I’m saying that there are so many ways to get this disease, it’s wrong for the media to make these deaths ABOUT masks.
It’s also wrong to imply that everything will be A Okay if you just wear a mask. It just reduces the risk.
