 Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty my friends. You have a right to defend yourselves be armed to be dangerous and be moral That was Madison Cawthorne who is a sitting member of Congress Encouraging his followers to be dangerous, but also moral Simultaneously because it definitely works that way and he's one of many far-right individuals who feel emboldened after Kyle Rittenhouse was found Not guilty, but he's not alone because Steven Crowder with his millions of YouTube subscribers Encouraged them also to take up arms and not just some protests, but to show up at every single protest If he didn't bring a gun that night He could have been raped or killed just to be there would have been one And certainly if he didn't shoot that night he would be dead We would absolutely be dead if he had his gun and didn't shoot he would be dead absolutely We know of at least but what five six ten twelve other guys that had guns that night that had no problems They didn't shoot anybody because guess what nobody attacked them right the only reason that that inanimate piece Of metal hanging pointing down the entire night was ever brought up and aimed at anyone was because of a threat period Yeah, and that's your right. You get to defend yourself. I am so happy like I was I literally almost It needs to be encouraged. Yeah, it needs to be encouraged tell and this is this is why you cannot accept it Look, it's so wrong that we teach young men that violence is immoral. It's not it's not violence is a moral You can use violence to publicly execute a 17 year old like gross grits tried to do or you can use violence To disarm and protect yourself from being murdered You can use violence to rape the helpless or you can use violence to help the helpless from being raped But guess what if the righteous aren't willing to defensively use violence where appropriate where moral Evil will rain. We've seen it at Kyle written house doesn't need to see a bunch of double-speak conservatives When he's sitting in that chair saying, oh, he shouldn't have been there, but I guess it's self-defense. No, no, no, no, no This is one of those instances where he didn't see that cavalry coming over that hill And what I'm saying is you need to be on that hill every day from now on not sometimes all the time Not going out hunting anyone. That's not what Kyle did Of course not Steven. You'd never encourage violence in the same way You definitely didn't encourage violence by working your viewers up into a frenzy by lying to them about the 2020 election being stolen You would never encourage such a thing and I'm sure that you're very sane Very reasonable viewers are going to take this message that you're peddling to them here in a reasonable way I'm sure they're not going to just show up to these Black Lives Matter rallies Or any left-wing protest that you say is bad and intimidate the protesters because that's what you're telling them to do I'm sure they're going to be incredibly responsible. I mean, it's a joke. Of course. I'm being facetious We all know where this is going to go immediately the far right broadcasted their intent after they saw the result of this case as NPR's Odette Yusuf explains in minutes after a jury acquitted 18 year old Kyle Rennhouse on all counts Jubilation lit up on social media spaces where far-right extremists gather in one telegram channel for the far-right proud boys Some noted they had taken the day off work to await the verdict There's still a chance for this country wrote one in another channel a member stated that political violence must continue The left won't stop until their bodies get stacked up like cordwood He wrote so I think that it's logical to deduce that this is going to accelerate the transformation that we're seeing on the right in America They're no longer just proto fascists They are changing into actual Fascists where they do the violence that we expect from fascists and what's unique about the Kyle Rennhouse trial Is that it's unifying rank-and-file members of the Republican Party with the far right as Zach Bochamp explains in an article for Vox And at this point as the cavernacle puts it American conservatism is fascism and sure Maybe that's a little bit too much of an overstatement. Maybe it's a bit reductionist But I think that we all know which direction conservatives are headed in they're not moderating They're shifting further and further to the right and now this Kyle Rennhouse case has given them a new sense of Joy, they now believe that all of the bad things that the left in America is doing Can be addressed if they show up with guns and they defend America in whatever way they want to interpret Defense in whatever threat they deem is evil from the left So the problem with this case is that more and more conservatives will feel as if they should basically Stand up for America that is being destroyed by the far left by the Communist Democratic Party and become a vigilante And you know This is a point that George Chidey made in an article that he wrote for the intercept and his argument is compelling So he writes consider the next time people rally for say abortion rights or perhaps immigration controls or the next stop To steal rally a free Kyle Rittenhouse means we will now be met with two camps of armed protesters Possibly from around the country each squad waiting for an opponent to twitch suspiciously in a way that will allow Excuses to fly along with the bullets a body count begins today with this verdict every time a proud boy or a neo Nazi opens fire at a black lives matter rally or it's equivalent in the future They will have written houses defense on their lips and he's exactly correct about that So I'll link you to his article down below if you want to read the whole thing But call written house he went to Kenosha not necessarily because he supported black lives matter not because he was outraged over the shooting of Jacob Blake He went to Kenosha because he wanted to start shit He explained this in a video a couple weeks before the actual shooting occurred Where he was filming somebody who he believed was a black lives matter protester doing looting and he said he wished that he Had his AR that was evidence that the judge did not allow to be admitted into the court So the prosecution could not use that vital piece of evidence So now other right-wingers who have a bone to pick with lefties any leftist cause It doesn't matter now. They know that They should show up to these rallies arms because the right-wing leaders in this country like Madison Coughlin a lawmaker and Steven Crowder an influencer They think that that's what they should do put your lives on the line show up intimidate people and Stop these left-wingers from ruining this country. That's what they want to do and We've seen time and again more and more anti-democratic sentiment being expressed By the far right and Donald Trump supporters. They think that the election was stolen. So they no longer believe that Democracy is a feasible way of changing this country politically So this is going to lead to them now being especially more violent knowing that they can get away with it So that's the issue now the issue is the outcome and what this will encourage and who this will embolden And if you're not paying attention to that then you haven't been following the right shift to the far right over the course of the last Couple of years because it's getting very very Horrifying and this is bad for democracy. It's not going to end. Well, it'll only end in violence
