In reply to the discussion: Nazis Call for Dead Leftists to be 'Stacked Up Like Cord Wood' Following Rittenhouse Acquittal [View all]Buckeyeblue
(6,180 posts)4. It's really a blueprint that's been used in 3rd world countries
Where factions decide to take on the role of protectors, whether you want them to or not. I think the one thing these groups forget is that Rittenhouse had a very good attorney and some circumstances that fell his way.
Local attempts at this model won't get the attention this case has and you'll get people trying to be like him convicted of murder.
I do think a civil case could be interesting. I wonder if this is one the Southern Poverty Law Center would take on?
Also, does Rittenhouse have to pay taxes on contributions to his legal fund?

We would benefit if Cawthorne, Gosar & Gaetz hired the stupid, unwise, school dropout Rittenhouse.nt

My policy is to never use "Nazi" unless they call themselves that. I'll use fascist or white

Yeah, what gets me is the first thing out of most of their mouths is, "I'm not a racist, but..."

Yeah that's what Nazis do. We should've wiped them out completely during WW2
