Armed protester 'Maserati Mike' shows up at Kyle Rittenhouse trial

[orangecrush]

KENOSHA, Wis. — A protester who had clashed with Black Lives Matter supporters at the Kyle Rittenhouse trial returned outside the courthouse toting an AR-15-style rifle Wednesday.

The man, who referred to himself as “Maserati Mike,” arrived carrying a megaphone in addition to the long rifle and what appeared to be a bulletproof vest.

He was briefly questioned by authorities who asked him to leave, citing a law that prohibits rifles within 1,000 feet of a school.

Shortly after, he drove away in his banged-up Maserati, only to return about an hour later sans rifle.

“Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization,” the man, who appeared to have a knife in his pocket, shouted into a megaphone.

When approached for an interview, he replied, “I don’t speak to the media.”

3. Big gun. Small penis.

That megaphone isn't gonna make that cosplaying doofus sound any smarter.

8. Untreated mental illness

Like the "Q Shaman".

Only with a deadly weapon instead of a staff.



Ticking time bomb that is itching to kill people.

9. Or just a run of the mill sociopath

Not every one of these guys is mentally ill, no matter how much DUers say they are.

20. Possibly.

15. It surprises me what I can remember from a movie I saw 30 years ago.

14. Can you say "overcompensating"?

My guess is - if you don’t have it behind your zipper, then I guess you’ll need something big, heavy, metallic, fierce-looking, longer-than-it-is-wide, and strapped over your shoulder to your chest where everybody in public can easily see and presumably admire it.

4. Sooner or later, we are going to have to do something about allowing gunz at protests.

12. How to get guns banned at protests

Get a thousand legally and visibly armed black males to show up at a demonstration. Guns will be banned within hours is my best guess.

[Hoyt]

16. True. It just seems especially stupid to allow armed people at protests.

[sarisataka]

18. You have forgotten

There were plenty of armed black males at protests

19. When and where

Were these photos taken, and do you have a link with the back story?


A banner says Kentucky, but photos are easily doctored.

Thanks in advance.

21. The NFAC has been in the news several times

In the past two years. These articles talk about them and include most if not all of the pictures I posted.

5. More Like 'Yugo Mike'

Gee, all the crackpot RightWingers are showing up for the TV coverage.

6. And why shouldn't Maserati Mike do this?

It's not illegal, shouldn't even be alarming to the good folks of Kenosha. We've ceded control of the country over to the most violent whackos under the rubric of freedom and individual rights. If you are injured or die because of the entirely reasonably foreseeable possibility that Maserati Mike might start squirting lead, well, that's really your problem.

7. It seems that pos is a terrorist

11. How the fuck is this legal?

[Maru Kitteh]

24. I read somewhere "Mike" is a fired ex-cop

Terminated for harassment and intimidation IIRC.

[xmas74]

26. Ferguson,MO

Also stalked and used law enforcement information to locate an ex.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. Well. There ya go. Exactly the kind of guy he looks like then. nt

[xmas74]

25. Did you know in Wisconsin you cannot have a weapon within

1000 feet of a school?

Fyi, Reuther High School is 450 feet from the courthouse.

Interesting.
