“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Key Witness in Rittenhouse Trial Drops Bombshell: Rosenbaum Tried to Grab Kyle’s Rifle, Was Chasing Him

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 7, 2021

A video editor named Richie McGinniss testified in court on the third day of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

He was behind Joesph Rosenbaum when he was shot four times by Rittenhouse, making him a key witness in the trial.

“McGinniss took off his shirt to try to stop the bleeding and carried Rosenbaum to a vehicle so Rosenbaum could be transported to the hospital across the street,” Townhall reports.

McGinniss said Rosenbaum was chasing Rittenhouse, which undermines the prosecution theory explained by Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.

Many could well have been avoided or mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece, as the Militia Act required here. ...
