Public school science teacher caught ranting to students: 'No godd**n way' armed Kyle Rittenhouse walks past cops with hands up 'if he was black'



A public school science teacher in the Seattle area was recorded ranting to students that there was "no goddamn way" an armed Kyle Rittenhouse would have walked past police with his "hands up" on the night of the Kenosha shootings "if he was black."

What are the details?

Radio host Jason Rantz reported for KTTH-AM that a student recorded the teacher — who's from Bothell High School, which is in the Northshore School District — on cellphone video discussing the Rittenhouse case during a Nov. 18 sophomore science class. The teacher was not named since he's not charged with a crime, the story noted.

Rantz said the teacher stopped a lesson on magnets to give students his point of view about the Rittenhouse case. The teacher's rant took place while the Rittenhouse jury was still deliberating.

The student who hit record did so after sensing the teacher was speaking inappropriately, Rantz wrote, adding that the student’s father shared the video with Rantz's radio show.

What did the teacher say?

“You can argue back and forth about ... what happened … and did [Rittenhouse] feel like he was really in danger and what the hell was he doing there in the first place. Where were his parents? That’s what I want to know, OK?” the teacher is heard saying. “So, that’s arguable. That’s what the trial is about. Was he acting in self-defense when he shot those people? That’s for the jury to figure out. That’s not for me to figure out.”

Fairly even-handed so far — but then things got racial.

“But for me, what’s the most appalling thing about this is [Rittenhouse] ran toward the police with his hands up, with a weapon right here, and the police did this — they waved him through," the teacher said in a decidedly exasperated tone. "Seriously, if he was black, would he have been waved through? No goddamn way.”

The teacher continued: “That’s what this is about ... it’s about people seeing people differently. There's no way he would've been waved through the police line with a semiautomatic weapon if he was a different race."

'Put your hand down — it’s my turn'

Then it appears that the student who's recording the teacher's rant puts his hand up to ask a question or make a point.

But the teacher rebuffs him: "Put your hand down. It’s my turn, OK?”

The teacher added that Rittenhouse walking past cops was "an example of racism being used as a weapon — not weaponizing racism. OK? Racism exists. White guys like me don’t see it because it’s not part of my experience."

By the end of the clip, the teacher thanks students for listening to him take the lesson "sideways" before apparently returning to academics.

Here's cellphone video that captures the teacher's rant; the camera is pointed toward the classroom ceiling almost the entire time.

Investigation underway

A district spokesperson told "The Jason Rantz Show" that officials are investigating what happened in the class but didn't respond to questions regarding whether the district encourages such teacher-to-student commentary. Rantz added that the teacher didn't respond to a request for comment.

The parent who sent the video to Rantz told the host that his son has complained about this teacher inserting progressive views into the classroom on previous occasions — and that teachers in general implement “equity and inclusion” instruction throughout the week.

“My son didn’t even mention Kyle Rittenhouse, nor did any other students," the parent said, according to Rantz. "The teacher raised it entirely on his own as an example of racism."

Teacher is a 'threat to those students'

Rantz added that the teacher is a "threat to those students."

"The teacher believes in white privilege, thus it must be true," he added. "There’s no room for nuance or another explanation. Is that the kind of thinking a parent would want in front of their kids? A teacher who chooses to indoctrinate and tell students how to think rather than giving them the tools to think for themselves?"

Rantz also said that "there’s no sign that level of overt indoctrination will end. The student deserves praise for documenting this kind of egregious overstepping of boundaries."

Levi Strauss and Best Buy offer counseling to employees distressed over Rittenhouse acquittal, including session with 'racial trauma specialist'



After Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges from the Kenosha shooting, Best Buy and Levi Strauss reportedly offered their employees counseling to those distressed over the verdict. Levi's offered a session with a "racial trauma specialist" for workers distraught over the acquittal of Rittenhouse — who is white — shooting three white men who assailed him.

Elizabeth Morrison — Levi's chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer — sent an email to employees of the San Francisco-based clothing company following the Rittenhouse verdict in Wisconsin.

"With the news that Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted in the shooting of three individuals — two of whom lost their lives — during racial justice protests last year, this is a difficult day for many," the email read.

"The pain and trauma of race, identity and belief-based tragedies is a reality that many of us are struggling with on an ongoing basis," Morrison stated. "It can feel physically, mentally and emotionally draining to continue to relive these moments, and I want you to know, it's okay to not be okay."

"To help promote safety, sharing and to encourage healing, I'll be hosting a fireside chat and Q&A with Dr. Jamila Codrington, a licensed psychologist and racial trauma specialist in early December," the DEI head wrote. "Dr. J and I will talk about the mental and psychical impacts of back-to-back social and racial justice events and trauma coping mechanisms during our discussion."

Morrison advised employees pained by the verdict to seek a "trained counsel." She also recommended workers use "resources to help [employees] impact social justice, equality and drive positive change," including "getting educated and informed on the issue of gun violence" and "reaching out to your elected officials to let them know just how important common-sense gun laws are to you."

In 2018, Levi Strauss partnered with gun control organization Everytown for Gun Safety and Bloomberg to push for stricter gun regulations.

A spokesperson for Levi Strauss confirmed to Fox Business that the "email was sent to all US employees and that the purpose of the fireside chat is accurately described in the email."

Best Buy is reportedly also offering "mental health resources" and "counseling services" to employees distressed over the Rittenhouse acquittal.

"The verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse's trial stirs many emotions, and it's another difficult moment for our nation," reportedly wrote Mark Irvin, the chief inclusion, diversity, and talent officer for Best Buy.

"While these events can be challenging and deeply hurtful, I hope you will take a moment to reflect on the values that unite us as a company and as a nation," Irvin said, according to The Post Millennial. "We can do better, as each of us as individuals, allies, and human beings press together for better outcomes."

"I know events like these can take a toll on mental health and emotional well-being," he stated. "Please know that best Buy is here to support you."

Irvin then provided links to "mental health resources" and "counseling services" that are offered by the company's employee benefits.

Democrat breaks ranks, tears into Rittenhouse prosecution for being 'motivated by politics': 'Should be considered criminal'



Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) broke from the ranks of the Democratic Party on Friday, offering a reaction to the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal that countered from the dominate narrative of the Democratic Party.

What did Democrats say?

Democratic politicians and media members overwhelmingly reacted to Rittenhouse being found not guilty by expressing outrage, blaming white supremacy, and claiming such an outcome would have been different had the defendant been black.

President Joe Biden said "the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included."

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) said every facet of the trial was "white supremacy in action." She reacted, "The judge. The jury. The defendant. It's white supremacy in action. This system isn't built to hold white supremacists accountable. It's why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free."

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick said the verdict demonstrated the need to "abolish our current system." He said, "We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist. This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed."

Meanwhile, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo observed, "You're going to have people saying if he was black this would be different, right? Because we're dealing with systemic injustice right now. And even though this verdict, I believe, is justified by the law and the facts here, that's what we should want every time, people are frustrated that you wouldn't get it if he was black even though this may be the right outcome."

What did Gabbard say?

The former Hawaii congresswoman struck a much different tone. Instead, Gabbard highlighted problems she saw with the prosecution, suggesting their actions were politically motivated and should be investigated.

"The jury got it right—finding Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges," Gabbard said. "The fact that charges were brought before any serious investigation is evidence that the government was motivated by politics, which itself should be considered criminal."

— Tulsi Gabbard \ud83c\udf3a (@Tulsi Gabbard \ud83c\udf3a) 1637346877

Gabbard is not the only person to question the motivation of prosecutors.

Those who have made such observations point to the fact that prosecutors filed six charges — including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and attempted first-degree attempted homicide — against Rittenhouse less than two days after the shooting incident took place amid the violent riots in Kenosha.

Then there is the fact that prosecutors over-charged Rittenhouse. The only non-felony Rittenhouse was charged with was being in possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. But through a plain reading of the Wisconsin statue, Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder determined Rittenhouse did not violate that law.

Lead prosecutor Thomas Binger was also accused of potentially violating basic constitutional law when he mentioned Rittenhouse's post-arrest silence during cross-examination. Schroeder admonished Binger for the incident. "I was astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendant's post-arrest silence," the judge said. "That's basic law."

Rittenhouse's defense team even filed for a mistrial with prejudice after they discovered the prosecution had allegedly withheld potentially exculpatory evidence. Prosecutors, however, claimed they did not withhold the evidence intentionally.

In the end, the charges against Rittenhouse were dismissed with prejudice — because the jury declared him not guilty.

Florida man who claimed self-defense and was acquitted of all murder charges draws comparisons to Kyle Rittenhouse



A jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all accounts on Friday afternoon. On the same day as the Rittenhouse acquittal, another young man who claimed he fired a gun in self-defense was also found not guilty of murder.

"A jury found Andrew 'A.J.' Coffee IV, 27, not guilty of second-degree felony murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer by discharging a firearm, and one count of shooting or throwing a deadly missile," the TC Palm reported on Friday.

Around 5 a.m. on March 19, 2017, at least 14 law enforcement officers — including SWAT team members in camouflage pants and shirts with "SWAT" on the sleeve — arrived at the home in Gifford, Florida. The shooter's father, Andrew Coffee III, reportedly opened the front door to the house and was taken into custody by officers, according to Vero News.

Before entering the house, deputies yelled, "sheriff's office search warrant," according to witness statements from deputies.

"Coffee IV told the court he was asleep at the time the SWAT team arrived," the TC Palm reported. "He woke up and thought he was being robbed. Coffee said he saw what appeared to be a rifle sticking through an open bedroom window pointed at him. That's when he fired a .45-caliber pistol out of the window, shooting two or three times."

Deputies returned fire with more than a dozen rounds shot towards the bedroom, according to court records. Andrew's 21-year-old girlfriend, Alteria Woods, was killed after reportedly being struck by 10 bullets fired by the SWAT team, including one bullet that entered her chest.

Woods' family said Alteria worked as a pharmacy technician, who was attending Indian River State College, where she was studying to become a pharmacist.

In January, Woods' mother filed a federal lawsuit for misconduct against the deputies who shot and killed her daughter during the early morning raid.

In July 2017, a grand jury cleared SWAT team members of any criminal charges in the fatal raid, and a sheriff's office internal investigation cleared them of any violations of policies and procedures.

In the elder Coffee's bedroom, deputies said they found marijuana cigarettes, crack cocaine, 10 Hydromorphone pills, and one oxycodone pill.

The younger Coffee was acquitted of all of the murder charges after claiming he fired in self-defense. However, he was found guilty of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. Coffee — who has four felony convictions — faces a maximum prison term of 30 years at his sentencing on Jan. 13.

Coffee's attorney, Adam Chrzan, gave an explanation as to why his client wasn't charged with murder in the case, "We argued successfully, clearly, that there was some overreaction and overreach by the sheriff's department on that raid. They should have pulled back, they didn't. And this is what happens when you go into a volatile situation without all the information."

Many commentators are drawing comparisons to the verdict for Coffee and Rittenhouse since they arrived within hours of each other and involved two defendants receiving not guilty verdicts in self-defense cases. Many social media users are also using the Coffee verdict in an attempt to dispel the notion that race played a part in Rittenhouse's acquittal.

Immediately following Rittenhouse's verdict was announced, left-wing talking heads ran to Twitter to claim that the outcome of the trial was a result of "white supremacy." Several notable individuals — including NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace — invented a hypothetical situation where Kyle Rittenhouse would have been guilty of murder if he was black.

Daily Caller editor-in-chief Geoffrey Ingersoll stated, "People saying Rittenhouse would be found guilty if he were black ought to read about the Coffee verdict, which, as it happens, also came down today. Coffee FIRED ON DEPUTIES during a raid, made a self defense case, and won."

Conservative writer Carmine Sabia wrote on Twitter, "If you say Kyle Rittenhouse would've been found guilty if he were black look at the case of Andrew Coffee."

Conservative commentator Rob Smith said, "Black man acquitted in self-defense ruling after firing back in unannounced SWAT raid that killed his girlfriend. The Second Amendment is for all. Beware those who want you to think it's not. Their intentions are not to protect you."

Radio host and legal analyst Michael "Lionel" Lebron noted, "Andrew Coffee was also found not guilty in a jury trial by a system that apparently can administer justice to someone who is not white. I believe this destroys soundly the ridiculous myth promoted and propounded by the radical left."

Since the Rittenhouse verdict, protests have ignited across the country.

Leftist talking heads and celebrities react to Rittenhouse verdict by having a complete meltdown, go all-in on blaming 'white supremacy'



Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all counts regarding the fatal shootings during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Leftist talking heads and celebrities suffered complete meltdowns when they learned that Rittenhouse was cleared of all charges.

Many people on the left were furious over the verdict because they subscribed to the unsubstantiated narrative that Rittenhouse was a white supremacist set out for more than a year by the corporate media and Democrats – including President Joe Biden.

Leftists flocked to Twitter with their reactions and hot takes to the jury's decision. Predictably, the left-wing commentators could not accept that Rittenhouse had shot three other white men in self-defense, so instead, they shrieked in unison: "White supremacy."

Quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick: "We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist. This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed."

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.): "The judge. The jury. The defendant. It's white supremacy in action. This system isn't built to hold white supremacists accountable. It's why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I'm hurt. I'm angry. I'm heartbroken."

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.): "Racism & white supremacy remain the bedrock of our legal system. My heart breaks for the family & loved ones of those whose lives were stolen, and the trauma our communities face today and every day. The struggle for accountability, for justice, for healing goes on."

CNN contributor Keith Boykin: "I knew it. Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law, carry illegal weapons, shoot and kill people, and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self-defense."

1619 Project's Nikole Hannah-Jones: "In this country, you can even kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for Black lives. This is the legacy of 1619."

Self-proclaimed "race-baiter" Tariq Nasheed: "Killer Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges. I'm not surprised. It's not white privilege. It's called systematic white supremacy. Can anyone name ONE TIME in US history where a Black person drove somewhere with a gun, killed 2 ppl, & it was 'self defense?'"

Musician Skyler Acord: "F***in kyle bitch ass rittenhouse literally got away with murder cuz he was fighting for white supremacy and the american judicial system is built on it. bitch boy little f*** i hate him and his fake ass bitch tears f*** you kyle."

Activist Brittany Packnett Cunningham: "This is why many of us warned a Chauvin verdict was not the symbol of progress some wanted it to be. White supremacy has a set number of acceptable losses. Kyle Rittenhouse, and his Vigilante How-To example, simply was not one of them. They needed his blueprint."

The ACLU of Maryland: "Dangerous, disgusting, unacceptable white supremacy in #RittenhouseVerdict."

Author Stephen King: "So...the white guy goes free. Is that the message?"

Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali: "It's good to be a white murderer."

Actress Rachel Zegler: "kyle rittenhouse being acquitted on all charges after such heinous heinous crimes is the epitome of white privilege and exactly what is wrong with this godforsaken country."

Former "Reading Rainbow" host LeVar Burton: "Tell me again there are not two kinds justice in America!"

Actress Rosanna Arquette: "I have no faith in the justice system In America today I don't want to live in a country that is ruled by violent ignorant racists."

Actor Cary Elwes: "Another disappointing victory for White vigilantism."

Actress Bette Midler: "Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty tho we SAW HIM kill two. Fundamentally stupid, I predict he will go on to a big career on #Fox and in #RadicalRightWing circles, which counts as a plus with them. A tragic, tragic day for decent, THINKING, feeling, ethical people everywhere."

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace: "Ha, let the boy be black and it would've been life…hell he would've had his life taken before the bullshit trial.. sad."

MSNBC host Joy Reid: "We knew, but it's sometimes helpful to remind ourselves how America was designed to work. It continues to work as designed. We have learned again what is considered legal for *some* people to do in America. It's helpful to know where you stand in your country. Be safe out there."

Former "Star Trek" actor George Takei: "Justice denied is a body blow to our national psyche. On trial was not only a killer, but a system that continues to kill. Today that system defeated true justice, once again. But mark these words: We will never stop fighting for what is right and just."

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D): "Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims. They should be alive today. The only reason they're not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people. To call this a miscarriage of justice is an understatement."

Actress Mia Farrow: "So anyone can come to a protest, just march down the middle of the street with a massive gun - and kill people?"

Actor Josh Gad: "It has now been put it out there that vigilantes can just go and kill people protesting issues like racial equality whenever they want and get away with it. Think about that for a second."

Former swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker: "What a disaster. The precedent is terrifying. The injustice is hard to stomach."

Actress Ellen Barkin: "Kyle Rittenhouse walks free as we are all taken prisoner by our now openly authoritarian state."

Mysterious 'Jump Kick Man' who took aim at Kyle Rittenhouse's head last year identified as Maurice Freeland — a 39-year-old with a lengthy criminal history



The previously unknown individual who jump-kicked at the head of then-17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse on the night of the Kenosha shootings last year has been identified as Maurice Freeland — a 39-year-old with an extensive criminal history, Fox News reported.

Rittenhouse's defense attorneys revealed the identity of the so-called "Jump Kick Man" to Fox News, the cable network said.

What are the details?

Rittenhouse testified that he fired at Freeland in self-defense but missed: "I thought if I were to be knocked out, he would have stomped my face in if I didn't fire."

Seconds after Freeland's jump kick, Anthony Huber bashed Rittenhouse's head with a skateboard and attempted to take his rife — during which Rittenhouse fatally shot Huber.

Then came the confrontation with Gaige Grosskreutz, who admitted to jurors that he aimed a loaded gun at Rittenhouse's head before the defendant shot off part of his bicep.

Freeland, Huber, and Grosskreutz were all part of a mob chasing Rittenhouse down a street after the defendant fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum, who had been chasing Rittenhouse and threatening his life. Rittenhouse also testified that he shot Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz in self-defense.

What else do we know about Freeland?

Fox News said Freeland's criminal history includes more than 45 offenses over the past 21 years, including domestic abuse, drunk driving, damaging property, theft, and violating parole.

Freeland's inmate record from the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department shows the Racine, Wisconsin, resident — who stands 6 feet, 1 inch tall and weighs 215 pounds — was charged less than a month ago with battery and disorderly conduct.

Freeland approached the Rittenhouse prosecutors during the trial and offered to testify in exchange for immunity from other charges, including a DUI, but prosecutors rejected the offer, Fox News said, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

Rittenhouse is facing one count of first-degree recklessly endangering safety with a dangerous weapon for firing the shots at Freeland, the cable network noted, adding that the charge carries a maximum sentence of 12 1/2 years in prison, plus up to five more years with the weapons modifier.

Fox News said Freeland could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Squires: Social (media) justice requires far different standards for Kyle Rittenhouse and Julius Jones



America's justice system is broken.

Our laws are still in place, but as a nation, we have no shared understanding of what "justice" is or how it should be pursued. This reality impacts every aspect of society, especially when the modifier "social" is attached to the concept of justice whenever disparities between ethnic groups are found to flow in a particular direction.

This is yet another outcome of a rapidly secularizing country that attempts to cherry-pick Bible verses about justice while discarding the God who defines it.

Biblical justice reflects God's character. It promotes and upholds good and punishes evil. Its ultimate purpose is to bring people into the right relationship with God and with one another.

Our justice system draws on those principles. Ideally, our system of laws should be an impartial, proportional mechanism for promoting moral order. It should seek to punish criminals and motivate a change in their attitude and behavior, protect the innocent, deter criminal behavior from spreading, provide restitution for victims, and apply grace and mercy without prejudice.

Achieving justice is a process, not an outcome. That process includes weighing evidence, hearing from witnesses, and deciding guilt or innocence based on the facts of the particular case.

The members of the ruling class do not want a justice system. They want a system of cultural, political, and legal spoils (e.g., presumption of innocence, celebrity backing) that can be doled out to people they like and withheld from people they don't.

The cases of Kyle Rittenhouse and Julius Jones demonstrate that clearly.

Rittenhouse has been accused of being a white supremacist without evidence since last year, and his critics ignore the video footage that clearly shows him using his gun in self-defense. The fact that he came to Kenosha and was not in favor of burning it down in the name of racial justice makes him a natural enemy of the ruling class. That is why politicians and pundits on the left, as well as a few on the right, have tried to make this case about race and the dangers of Trumpist vigilantism. They make the case about Rittenhouse's age and the type of gun he was carrying and refuse to even acknowledge the chaos and disorder that were allowed to fester in Kenosha and many other cities in 2020.

The left has a completely different attitude toward Julius Jones, the convicted murderer whose death sentence was commuted on the day he was scheduled to be executed. Celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Kerry Washington and professional athletes including Baker Mayfield and Russell Westbrook successfully lobbied Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt to spare Jones' life.

His supporters claim that he didn't have a fair trial because of racial bias, inadequate legal representation, and issues with witness identification. They also allege that Jones' co-defendant confessed to carjacking and killing Paul Howell in 1999.

If Jones did not kill Howell and was not present at the scene, he should be fully exonerated. Justice demands it.

The actual evidence points to his guilt. A witness claimed Jones drove the victim's car to his home on the night of the shooting and was wearing the exact outfit — white shirt, black stocking cap, and red bandana — the victim's sister described to police. The police later found that bandana and the murder weapon in Jones' home. The bandana was tested in 2017 and was found to match Jones' DNA.

The issue here isn't opposition to the death penalty. There are people across the political spectrum who object to the practice for religious, moral, and administrative reasons. No definition of justice includes executing an innocent person for evil acts committed by others, but there is another side to that coin as well. Failing to punish the wicked for the evil they do is also an injustice. Worse yet is holding them up as heroes or excusing their behavior for the sake of political expediency.

This isn't just about Julius Jones. In recent years, Hollywood celebrities have joined with death penalty opponents to advocate for several people on death row. The most well-known case involved Stanley "Tookie" Williams, the co-founder of the Crips. Williams was convicted of murdering four people, but his case brought together rappers and actors who claimed he changed his life and should be spared death. Even the founder of one of the most notorious street gangs in America can become a sympathetic figure if the right people get behind him.

The left has a completely inverted view of justice that prioritizes the feelings of lawbreakers over the needs of the victims. This is why citizens from San Francisco to New York City are frustrated when they don't see serious consequences for thieves who steal from stores in broad daylight or commuters who assault passengers on the subway.

Imagine being the mother of Jacob Blake's children and seeing the man you accused of sexually assaulting and terrorizing you venerated as a near-martyr for racial justice. The same goes for the parents of the children Joseph Rosenbaum molested.

The same goes for the academics and journalists who claimed that people burning down buildings and destroying property were simply engaging in political speech, not committing crimes. These small business owners who work tirelessly to provide jobs and services to their communities were quickly dismissed by people who appear on cable news shows to declare that "rioting is the language of the unheard."

Like every other issue they champion, radicals wrap this inversion of justice in brown skin to make it more palatable to the public. This is why we are unlikely to see the same level of anti-death penalty activity on behalf of Dylan Roof. Aside from a handful of activists and academics, most of the celebrities who say the death penalty is barbaric wouldn't dare say anything that could be misinterpreted as supporting an actual white supremacist. They only champion the cause of convicted rapists and murderers if it furthers a political agenda.

The reason the left immediately brings up rape during every debate about abortion is because they actually believe unwanted children are more worthy of death than men who violate women sexually. This moral perversion is why they use "reproductive justice" as a euphemism for intentionally killing the unborn and "criminal justice" as their rallying cry for sparing the lives of convicted murderers. That's not a standard of justice I recognize.

Thug in 'F*** Kyle' t-shirt arrested after body-slamming reporter, attacking female counter-protester, slapping cameras outside Kenosha courthouse



Video cameras captured the moment when a violent male protester wearing a black "F*** Kyle" t-shirt and black-and-red wool cap body-slammed a reporter, attacked a female counter-protester, and slapped cameras in front of the courthouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where a jury was deliberating the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

What are the details?

The protester in question was caught on video instigating numerous violent encounters with Rittenhouse supporters as well as journalists who were simply documenting the tense scene on the courthouse steps Wednesday as both sides continue to wait for a verdict.

"Look at this c** dumpster right here!" the protester said to a female counter-protester at the start of a video.

The woman shot back, "You c** dumpster — your mom was!"

The protester replied, "I can't be a c** dumpster ... I don't have a vagina, you c**t!"

But the smiling woman wasn't taking it and upped the ante: "You can swallow it, you dumb bitch!"

That apparently got under the skin of our hero, as he took a big swipe at the woman and appeared to graze her sign.

A number of folks reacted to his physical response with disapproval.

Seconds later another protester tried to take signs from the female counter-protester:

And the "F*** Kyle" protester joined in fray and appeared to manhandle the woman he had just argued with.

Then the "F*** Kyle" protester began attacking a reporter, pushing him up the courthouse steps before body-slamming him to the ground as a number of onlookers converged around them.

One woman was heard yelling, "Anthony! You're gonna get arrested!"

It turned out to be a prophetic cry.

Officers soon took the protester in the "F*** Kyle" t-shirt into custody, Fox News reported, adding that 20-year-old Anthony Chacon was charged with battery, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct, according to Sgt. David Wright, a spokesman for the Kenosha Sheriff's Department.

Fox News also said one of its digital reporters witnessed the suspect carrying out the aforementioned violence — as well slapping multiple cameras:

Here's the video of Chacon in action.

What's more, Chacon also was charged with felony bail jumping and misdemeanor bail jumping, Wright told Fox News.

Chacon's jail record — which indicates he's 5-feet-6-inches tall and weighs an imposing 145 pounds — shows there is no bail amount for Wednesday's charges, but there is a $1,950 bond for them.

Since September 2020, he's also been charged with substantial battery/intent to do bodily harm, battery, and disorderly conduct in two other instances.

But wait — there's more

Fox News, citing Wright, reported that 34-year-old Shaquita Cornelious was also arrested Wednesday and is facing charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and possession of marijuana. The sheriff's department inmate lookup indicated Thursday that Cornelious posted bond — in the amount of zero dollars.

Anything else?

Fox News added the Kenosha Sheriff's Department released a statement on social media saying "law enforcement needed to deploy several officers to keep crowds of citizens and media from interfering."

Leftist MSNBC host Joy Reid said Kyle Rittenhouse and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh are "Karens" who've used their "male, white tears" to defend themselves "as soon as they get caught."

What are the details?

Reid said on a TikTok video Tuesday that she saw similarities between the Rittenhouse trial — during which the 18-year-old defendant became emotional and began to cry on the witness stand last week — and the 2018 Kavanaugh confirmation hearings in which Christine Blasey Ford accused the then-SCOTUS nominee of sexual assault which occyrred more than three decades prior.

Kavanaugh "cried his way through the hearings to make him a permanent member and associate justice of the United State Supreme Court," Reid declared on her video, adding that "his tears turned out to be more powerful" than the tears of Ford — "an alleged victim."

She continued:

But in America, there's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears — particularly male, white tears. Really white tears in general, because that's what Karens are, right? They Karen out, and then as soon as they get caught [Reid makes sobbing noises] bring waterworks? White men can get away with that, too. And it has the same effect. Even as the right tries to politicize the idea that masculinity is being robbed from American men by multiculturalism and woke-ism, they still want to be able to have their tears.

Anything else?

Rittenhouse — who's testified that he fatally shot two men and wounded a third in self-defense amid rioting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020 — was raked over the coals not only by Reid but by others on the left for his witness-stand crying:

  • NBA superstar LeBron James mocked the 18-year-old defendant and asked his 50 million Twitter followers in a viral tweet, "What tears????? I didn't see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court." James finished off his message with a trio of laughing-crying emojis.
  • CNN commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas tweeted, "Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27. Think about how much their loved ones have cried, real anguish and grief, not crocodile tears."
  • "F*** this brat's crocodile tears," Amanda Marcotte, a politics writer for Salon, tweeted. "Self-defense is when you are minding your own business, someone attacks you, and you have to fight back. Rittenhouse picked up a gun and went looking for trouble. He found it and, in a sane world, would go to jail for it."
  • Carli Pierson — an attorney and USA Today opinion writer — also invoked the "crocodile tears" charge while writing that Rittenhouse came across as "melodramatic" and shouldn't be believed. "Regardless of how Rittenhouse tries to twist his story — or twist his sad face into tears — his innocent kid act shouldn't fool anyone," Pierson said, adding that he "could get life in prison if convicted, and that's what he deserves."

Rittenhouse Judge Bruce Schroeder receives hundreds of menacing emails during trial, wishing murder of his children and more: Report



Judge Bruce Schroeder has reportedly received hundreds of disturbing messages throughout the Kyle Rittenhouse trial — many of them accusing him of being racist and some of of them advocating for violence against his children.

What are the details?

In messages obtained by the Daily Mail, malcontents have been threatening to effect payback against Schroeder's children if Rittenhouse is found not guilty of murder charges in connection to the Kenosha riots of 2020.

The Kenosha County Courthouse received the messages, sent via email, letter, and fax, and were viewed by the Daily Mail.

One emailer said that Schroeder, who has been presiding over the Rittenhouse case in Kenosha, Wisconsin, wore a "white robe of the Klan" under his "black robes of justice."

One message, which included wishes of violence against Schroder's children, stated the hope that Schroder's children one day become "victims to the most heinous homicide known to man so he feels the pain."

The profane message added, "[W]e will call his kids not victims but bitches."

Another promised that Rittenhouse "won't live long" if he is acquitted.

"We are watching. Enjoy your term, judge, it's going to be your LAST," another person wrote. "If I ever meet you in person, I fully intend to spit directly into your face, regardless the cost. You're disgusting."

Another mailer wrote, "Wow way to name a white skinhead hot head to be a judge. No wonder they burn [sic] down your city."

According to the outlet, Schroeder has vowed to "deal with" his harassers, and said, "I wouldn't want to be those people."

The report added that a police car is stationed outside Schroeder's home guarding him 24 hours per day.

What else?

Schroeder on Monday handed the case over to the jury with a message to deliver a fair verdict following their deliberations.

“The time has now come where the great burden of reaching a just, fair, and conscientious decision in this case will be placed totally with you," Schroeder told the jury. "You will not be swayed by sympathy, passion, prejudice, or political beliefs. You will disregard any impressions that you may have, which you may believe are my opinion on the guilt or innocence of the defendant ... You will disregard the claims or opinions of any person, news media, or social networking site. You will pay no heed to the opinions of anyone — even the president of the United States, or the president before him."

“The founders of our country gave you, and you alone, the power and the duty to decide this case," Schroeder added.
