“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.

Prosecution Witness: Joseph Rosenbaum Threatened to Kill Me and Kyle Rittenhouse

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 7, 2021

“If I catch any of you guys alone tonight I’m going to f***ing kill you!”

KENOSHA, Wisc. — Ryan Balch, a state prosecution witness who was with Kyle Rittenhouse prior to the shootings on August 25, testified on Thursday that while he and Rittenhouse were at the Ultimate gas station, Joseph Rosenbaum threatened to kill them both.

Balch explained he had met Rittenhouse the night of the shootings and said in an interview with Richie McGinniss, the chief video editor for the Daily Caller, that his job was to protect Rittenhouse when he set off to treat anyone who was injured during the riot.

Before losing track of Rittenhouse, Balch said when he went to diffuse a situation where Rosenbaum was being confrontational with someone, Rosenbaum said to him with Rittenhouse standing next to him, “If I catch any of you guys alone tonight I’m going to f*cking kill you!”

...It's not about hunting or target shooting.
