So, what’s the message[The verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse]You can cross state line with an AR-15 or be provided with one when you arrive at your destination and then parade with your high-powered weapon,[Written by Lorenzo Canizares bit.ly/34IaPfE @canilor]

[the message of the verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is]look for trouble, and when trouble arrives, you can claim to have been forced to shoot[Written by Lorenzo Canizares bit.ly/34IaPfE @canilor]

[claim toHave beenForced to shoot][the message of the verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is] because you were afraid the people you agitated and had no weapon were going to harm you or take your weapon away from you.[by Lorenzo Canizares bit.ly/34IaPfE @canilor]

That sequence of events[you can claim to have been forced to shoot] I am sure is being studied and digested by the many white supremacists paramilitary and militias groups that were supporting Rittenhouse.[Written by Lorenzo Canizares bit.ly/34IaPfE @canilor]

But the scope of the message[you can claim to have been forced to shoot] doesn’t end up there.[Written by Lorenzo Canizares bit.ly/34IaPfE @canilor]

The message[you can claim to have been forced to shoot] for protestors is that if a right-wing vigilante or militia come to a protest rally fully equipped with State-of-the-Art weaponry,[Written by Lorenzo Canizares bit.ly/34IaPfE @canilor]
