    1. ……there is already books being ritten, ritten, ritten about RittenHouse. Kyle Rittenhouse is an American Hero. When Biden’s antifa & BLM goons come out at night to burn down America, Trump turns to Rittenhouse. ……………thats a dumb comment to make since Trump has just hired hundreds of 17 yr olds with AR-15s to clean up the Democrat ran cities. Trump2020!

    1. @Timothy Baker , a “symptom” ….with executive powers, for almost 4 years now…
      The present chaos, between the uncertainties of the pandemic and it’s dangers, plus social unrest he has constantly fueled over the uears, to the present state of utter chaos: that’s completely on him, not the American society as a whole (even if indeed there are inherent problems there too).

  1. “The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today”
    ~The people of Wisconsin after Trump leaves

  2. He wasn’t trying to get away from the cops. We saw it live in living color. Trump is lying, like always!.

    1. You are correct. He wasn’t trying to get away from the cops he was running towards them. What is your point exactly?

    1. Peter Steiner LOL, y’all are the same. Time already did tell. Stats are in, scientific facts are in. This is purely political to bring down the economy to make Trump look he isn’t doing a good job. Fact is, he has been on this since the beginning, yet the dems and media says he’s doing a bad job. And in the beginning, when trump wanted a travel ban the democrats were trying to pass a no ban act. Look man, the liberal media got you. They have so many people against Trump because they do not like him, but there is no way Biden could do a better job than trump. The man is out to lunch!

    2. @ZigZag: if what you said is true then that ‘death toll raising’ would have been in vain. If its true just political. Nobody else screwed any states but BunkerBoy himself. There’s a saying: None so deaf as those that will not hear, None so blind as those that will not see…

    1. @amen …………..What a loser of a family this is. Joe murders 28 year old interns. Mika’s father:
      Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski (/ˈzbɪɡnjɛf brəˈzɪnski/ ZBIG-nyef brə-ZIN-skee,[1] Polish: [ˈzbiɡɲɛf kaˈʑimjɛʐ bʐɛˈʑij̃skʲi] (About this soundlisten);[a] March 28, 1928 – May 26, 2017) was a Polish-American diplomat and political scientist. He served as a counselor to President Lyndon B. Johnson. (assassination of JFK).

      Major foreign policy events during his time in office included the normalization of relations with the People’s Republic of China (and the severing of ties with the Republic of China on Taiwan); the signing of the second Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT II)

    2. Has anyone seen the videos of the shooting? It was self defense efense you “🐑”. Look at the breakdown from NBC

    1. I`m not sure if the felon with a gun, that expressed regret that he could n`t empty his magazine into Kyle before Kyle was able to defend himself, was white or black, but whatever he was he was filth. As you are t booth for your racism.

    1. @Julia Yenia – Umm… Yes. It first appeared in a publication in 1948 yet Twain died in 1910. But didn’t you check and didn’t this tempt you to read? I would argue that it’s written in one style he wrote in. In much the same way; Daniel Defoe’s “A Journal Of The Plague Year” wasn’t really written in the same style as much of his other work. Plus, it’s a pretty miserable read.
      Anyway, lovely to be corrected but must dash – my clockwork abacus is running down and it’s just something else that needs winding up….

    1. @Joel Smithers ……there is already books being ritten, ritten, ritten about RittenHouse. Kyle Rittenhouse is an American Hero.

  3. They were running at him because he had just shot someone, They were trying to stop him, They are heroes in my book.

    1. Who in their right mind would interview Al Sharpton. Who in their right mind would listen to Al Sharpton. He’s made a lot of money causing trouble, is snitching to the FBI to keep his sorry carcass out of jail

    2. @Clint From Flint Williams apparently you didn’t see the man grab the gun. You can chase a man who has a gun but you will only catch a bullet.

    3. @Chuck Longino yes, they are dead because of your president. And yes, they are heroes for trying to stop this boy with a gun. See what you racist people need to learn how to do is watch what you say about people, because those tables will turn one day.

  4. He was trying to get away after murdering someone. The HEROES were those trying to apprehend him and keep him from murdering any further.

    This is DISGUSTING and DESPICABLE.

  5. If Trump gets re-elected, and if the shooter gets convicted, Trump will give him a pardon.
    Trump may not be able to get away shooting somebody on 5th Avenue, but his faithful base will, as long as they praise and pledge allegiance to their “dear leader”.
