It's Violence and it's Assault
Author: Raine    Date: 08/27/2020 13:03:28

This week we took a big and violent lurch forward into something that never should have happened. They are telling you what they want. They are not pretending or hiding it.

They are fascists. Last night the Vice president spoke at the RNC.

This is propaganda to stir up the base. Once considered a fringe element, the base is fast becoming mainstream. Pence and the Trump Cult will get more people killed by this rhetoric. They've been blaming it on those left-of-center and those people with different colored skin but this week, they are full-throated in the assault of even centrists. All you have to do is listen to what they said about Joe Biden. There is no need to link to the hate-filled attacks from this week. About that officer Underwood, what Pence left out -- by design -- was that it was not protesters who killed him.
Underwood was killed just blocks away from anti-police violence protests in Oakland, but federal authorities say he was killed by Steven Carrillo, an Air Force staff sergeant and a follower of the “boogaloo boys,” a right-wing extremist movement that, according to the Washington Post’s Katie Shepherd, “has sought to use peaceful protests against police brutality to spread fringe views and ignite a race war.”

Carrillo was taken into federal custody, and he faces murder charges.

Carrillo was one of the their own. But not telling the whole story, by not being honest, the leaders of the hateful RW ideology have given a wink and a nod to continue killing people. Just take a look at seventeen year old Kyle Rittenhouse. He killed two people protesting for #BLM.
Kyle Howard Rittenhouse’s social media presence is filled with him posing with weapons, posting “Blue Lives Matter,” and supporting Trump for president. Footage from the Des Moines, Iowa, rally on Jan. 30 shows Rittenhouse feet away from the president, in the front row, to the left of the podium. He posted a TikTok video from the event.

Seven months later, Rittenhouse went with his rifle to the third night of Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha after police shot Blake, a Black man who is now paralyzed as a result, according to his family. Rittenhouse attended as an armed vigilante, supposedly assisting police and protecting property in an unofficial capacity. Instead, he allegedly prowled the protest with a gun. Videos captured him fraternizing with law enforcement and attempting to get their attention.
He is 17 and he's doing the bidding of fascists. (I have to wonder if he even has a license to drive, but I digress) He's was a kid, and now he's a murderer being celebrated by White Nationalists. This national TV host justified the murders on his show last night,


I am nauseated writing this. I am saddened and deeply upset at where we are heading in this nation. This week I promise to uphold the memory and the directive of John Lewis.


It is time to make Good Trouble.
