An RNC Speaker Said Cops Would Be 'Smart' to Racially Profile Her Own Son

https://www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/935me3/an-rnc-speaker-said-cops-would-be-smart-to-racially-profile-her-own-son?__twitter_impression=true

"Statistically, my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons," anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson said in a YouTube video earlier this year.


One of the Republican National Convention’s top speakers said in a recent video that it would be “smart” for a police officer to racially profile her biracial son, because “statistically, my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons.”

“I recognize that I’m gonna have to have a different conversation with Jude than I do with my brown-haired little Irish, very, very pale-skinned, white sons, as they grow up,” Abby Johnson, a prominent anti-abortion activist, said in a 15-plus-minutes video posted to YouTube in late June, after weeks of nationwide protests against the police killing of George Floyd.

“Right now, Jude is an adorable, perpetually tan-looking little brown boy,” said Johnson, whose husband blogged, in 2015, about adopting their biracial son at his birth. Johnson is white. “But one day, he’s going to grow up and he’s going to be a tall, probably sort of large, intimidating-looking-maybe brown man. And my other boys are probably gonna look like nerdy white guys.”

But the fact that the police could one day view her sons differently, simply due to the color of their skin, doesn’t make Johnson mad, she said. Instead, it makes sense to her.

At least 3 people were shot and 2 are dead in just 3 days in Kenosha and Joe Biden is still referring to it as a peaceful protest
Did you see that video Don Lama (sorry Lemon) was telling Chris Cuomo that riots are beginning to hurt Bidden? he was only concerned about the riots because of Bidden, not because of the murders, looting and destruction of black own businesses.
These people are sick.

Sometimes I do not get the intentions of these claims. How to make sure that everybody treats each other as equal. Can that be really forced?
How can one undo the stereotypical thinking of blacks , those Born in America, legally migrated to America, those in Africa , those in very poor african villages in africa, those in very poor countries like Chad, those in the villages in very poor countries etc?
Mark you its only black examples.

Well. He was declared a fugitive meaning he fled or ran to escape arrest. I am glad his ass is in detention now awaiting a visit to the court.

First degree intentional homicide. I only hope he gets sentenced as an adult..Law and order cheesy

The Kenosha Shooting Suspect Was In The Front Row Of A Trump Rally In January


https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/kenosha-suspect-kyle-rittenhouse-trump-rally

Kyle Rittenhouse’s social media is filled with references to “Blue Lives Matter.”


The law enforcement–obsessed 17-year-old who was charged with shooting and killing two people and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during protests for Jacob Blake appeared in the front row at a Donald Trump rally in January.

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 but instead he prowled the protest with a gun. Videos captured him fraternizing with law enforcement and attempting to get their attention.

His connections to law enforcement, however, go beyond his vocal support of police on social media. In a statement to BuzzFeed News on Wednesday, the Grayslake Police Department confirmed that Rittenhouse was a former member of the Lindenhurst, Grayslake, Hainesville Police Department's Public Safety Cadet Program.


This guy if he ever joins the Police will surely use his weapon against a black person.

My question is what is he doing with an assault rifle in a protest?

I just read he is being charged as an adult. A corrupt cop is going to lose his job too cheesy

He must have been a regular on white supremacists websites like stormfront and far right websites like Breitbart and infowars.
He surely swallowed all the lies, hate, and junk media from those sites.

Unfortunately, i'm saddened by a comment in an earlier post by someone who was happy that Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self defense by injuring and killing 2 persons.

Why did he attend a protest with an assault rifle when he is not a law enforcement agent. Even law enforcement agents don't attend protests with life ammunitions, but rubber bullets.

That is human for you. Some will just decide to align with everything evil and bad.

He attended the rally with that riffle his crime was probably premeditated. I wasn't suprised he was charged with 1st degree homicide.

Read somewhere the guy was part of an alt-right militia group named 'Boogaloo Boys', that took it on themselves to protect businesses and engage the protesters. They came from different parts of U.S. crossing states lines to attend the protests in Wisconsin.
My understanding of what alt-right militia group means is white supremacist.

There, fixed it for you.
Keep shifting goalposts.





John Bellinger, the top State Department lawyer under former Republican Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, said the agency had long barred senior political appointees from partisan activity, including attending party conventions, even if they might be permitted under the 1939 Hatch Act limiting the political activities of federal employees.

Pompeo's address also appeared to violate his own instructions restating the department's prohibition on political activities - which applies to official and private time - sent to personnel in a July 24 cable reviewed on Monday by Reuters. [nL1N2FQ206]

Wisconsin is an “Open Carry” state. You may lawfully carry both a handgun and a long-gun openly without a permit. So the fact that the shooter is carrying a long-gun in public is not criminal activity on his part. All those things you are writing are not criminal offences, that he is a member of alt right group, that he answered a call for vigilantes e.t.c you are just copying and pasting fake outrage from left wing rags. They know the law, he didn't break any law and they have to prove he didn't shoot in self defense which they can't because the video clearly shows he was under attack by the people he shot.

Whoever charged him with first degree murder is a fool. Now in addition to proving he killed them not acting in self defense (Which will be difficult giving the video evidence), the prosecutor will now also have to prove that it was premeditated. This will be impossible on the face of it unless they have other evidence that is not available to the public. If it's the same information we have now then forget all the outrage you are seeing from the media, that guy will be freed on bail in his first appearance in court then he will be acquitted and discharged. Wisconsin is an open carry state so he didn't commit any offence carrying his weapons in open.
