So this is going to be the pattern: white suburbanites whipped into a frenzy of terror over violence in cities they don't live in allegedly coming to their suburbs, so they arm up and drive *into* those cities to stir shit. Like a safari. Awesome.
Look at this, Riding in the back, running red lights, hosing down people with paintballs and mace. Like driving across the savannah in a Jeep. https://twitter.com/davenewworld_2/status/1299930293286195201
A few days ago Kyle Rittenhouse took a murder safari into a city he didn't live in, tonight apparently somebody shot back at these guys. And it's only going to escalate, and the media ABSOLUTELY takes some responsibility for their "hellhole cities" rhetoric.
One party is condemning the violence, the other "is waiting for all the facts" and fundraising for Kyle Rittenhouse. We've crossed the plausible premise line.
Remember all those goofy stories about gangs of armed people in small towns standing around waiting for "buses of Antifa" to come to their nowhere burg? Well they were just shown how to reclaim their manliness, by *taking the fight to the city*.
There are people on both sides who want this fire, and ordinarily we could work together to stop it -- but the President of the United States just built a whole re-election convention around needing it so he can seem tough.
Jesus Murphy, 60 years of cultural paranoia colliding with gun culture and an utterly amoral social media system. Hold the fuck on.
