Allowing open carry of firearms during protests should be banned. No good can come of it.

Federal judge says Trump has responsibility for January 6, calling rioter a 'pawn'
Source: CNN
By Hannah Rabinowitz - 5h ago
......................
Speaking at sentencing hearing for rioter John Lolos, the judge said rallygoers like him were "called to Washington, DC, by an elected official, prompted to walk to the Capitol by an elected official."
Judge Amit Mehta called individuals who stormed the building "a pawn in the game played by people who know better."
"People like Mr. Lolos were told lies, were told falsehoods, were told the election was stolen when it was not," Mehta said. "Regrettably, people like Mr. Lolos who were told those lies took it to heart. And they are the ones paying the consequences."
"Those who created the conditions that lead to Mr. Lolos' conduct have in no meaningful measure been held accountable," he said. "You were a pawn. You were a pawn in the game played by people who know better."
While many judges have expressed continuing concern about the volatile political climate, Mehta is one of the first to call out Trump -- although not by name -- for using his supporters for political gain and then abandoning those supporters to suffer the consequences, something Mehta believes should perhaps weigh in favor of lighter sentences for January 6 defendants charged with less serious crimes...........................

Rep Jerry Nadler is calling on the DOJ to review Rittenhouse shootings for potential federal charges

@politvidchannel
Nadler: "This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest."

Biden on Rittenhouse verdict: 'The jury has spoken'
Source: THE HILL
By Alex Gangitano - 11/19/21 02:56 PM EST
President Biden on Friday said he stands by the jury’s decision to acquit Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who fatally shot two protesters in Kenosha, Wis., and wounded a third.
“Well look, I stand by what the jury has concluded. The jury system works and we have to abide by it,” the president said when asked about the decision by reporters at the White House.
He said he had just heard about the verdict and didn’t watch the trial. He declined to directly comment on whether he stands by a tweet he sent as a presidential candidate that suggested Rittenhouse was a white supremacist.
In a statement released later on Friday, Biden said he, like "many Americans," feels “angry and concerned” about the verdict, but urged Americans to express their views on the outcome “peacefully.”
"We must acknowledge that the jury has spoken,” he said.

Biden is wise not to say too much. Yet, he does acknowledge how many are feeling about the verdict. Glad he said to express our feelings peacefully.
--also glad Biden is our POTUS during this stressful time.

Kevin McCarthy Has A Total House Floor Meltdown As Build Back Better To Be Voted On Tonight
https://www.politicususa.com/2021/11/18/kevin-mccarthy-has-a-total-house-floor-meltdown-as-build-back-better-to-be-voted-on-tonight.html
In one of the worst political strategies in modern memory, Kevin McCarthy is holding the House floor in what looks like a tantrum over opposition to universal pre-k and lower prescription drug prices.
McCarthy wasn’t arguing against the Build Back Better bill. Instead, the House Minority Leader ranted about immigrants for a good hour.
As he entered his third hour, he began to tire. Soon he was rambling about Trump not winning the Nobel Prize:
Soon McCarthy was yelling random things that came into his head:
McCarthy, “Inflation, gas prices, Thanksgiving.”
It’s the perfect encapsulation of the emptiness of the 2022 Republican campaign. They’re mad. They’re yelling, and they are making absolutely zero sense.

A New Jersey man is going to prison for his role in conspiring with a hate group to threaten and intimidate properties owned by Blacks and Jews throughout the country.
Nov. 17, 2021, at 8:41 a.m.
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) —................................
A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced Richard Tobin, 20, to one year and one day in prison. Tobin had pleaded guilty to conspiring against rights stemming from vandalized synagogues in Racine, Wisconsin, and Hancock, Michigan.
Tobin admitted he was a member of a white supremacist group and had directed members to destroy and vandalize properties affiliated with Black people and Jews, prosecutors said. They said Tobin labeled the coordinated attack “Operation Kristallnacht" after the 1938 Nazi attack against Jews in Germany.
The synagogues in Racine and Hancock were spray painted with hate symbols in September 2019.
Authorities said Tobin implored members to post flyers, break windows and slash tires belonging to Blacks and Jews....................................
