We are seeing the coming together of right wing, white nationalist groups and the nation's criminal justice system, including the police. It is a dramatic step in the direction that many of us have feared.
The Rittenhouse acquittal establishes the right of armed white nationalists to come to demonstrations and kill whoever they consider to be a threat. Moreover, these dangerous white extremists are now openly supported by at least some of our uniformed police, who readily force peaceful demonstrators into areas here they can be ambushed. Finally, we have district judges who are eager to protect white nationalist killers from any kind of justice.
This is the essence of fascism, armed extremist groups supported by the state, and by one of the two major political parties. Once in power these fascist will sit in the halls of Congress and extend their dominance to all walks of life. We have no time to grieve for the victims. We must organize now to fight back before it is too late.
