If you recall, when Antifa thug and LARPer Garrett Foster pointed his firearm at a driver and was shot for his stupidity, we were inundated with stories of what kind of a great husband and friend he was (read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redstate.com\/streiff\/2020\/07\/28\/the-left-is-creating-their-own-horst-wessel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Left Is Trying to Create Their Own Horst Wessel but They Just Aren\u2019t Good Enough<\/a>). One would have thought for sure with three of the goons the worse for wear that one of them was a hairy, unwashed, Wisconsin version of Mother Teresa.<\/p>\n<p>An attempt was made for one of them, but it seemed to fizzle&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Now more information has emerged, and it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the kind of people who take to the street to commit mindless acts of arson, vandalism, and violence.<\/p>\n<p>First up, Joseph Rosenbaum, a registered sex offender with some obvious anger issues. He\u2019s the guy who threw what, on video, looked like a Molotov cocktail at Rittenhouse but which seems to have \u201conly\u201d been a brick in a plastic bag.<\/p>\n<p>Next is Anthony Huber, aka \u201cSkateboard Guy.\u201d He\u2019s the one caught on video beating a prostrate Rittenhouse with a skateboard. I also think he\u2019s the same one caught delivering a roundhouse kick to Rittenhouse while he was down.<\/p>\n<p>True to form, he was a convicted felon with a history of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have Gaige \u201cLefty\u201d Grosskreutz. Grosskreutz has a pistol in his hand during the confrontation and was shot in the arm. Ironically, he was LARPing as a medic. He was a convicted felon (burglary) \u2014 some of the terror sympathizers are claiming his convictions for burglary was merely a misdemeanor, but that remains to be seen \u2014 and is not allowed to possess any weapon but appears to have been carrying a concealed semiautomatic pistol. He\u2019s also a member of the anarchist group \u201cPeople\u2019s Revolution Movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What the shootings boil down to is this. We can criticize Rittenhouse\u2019s judgment for a) coming to Kenosha and b) getting himself isolated from compatriots and putting himself in a position where shooting was his only option. We don\u2019t have to think that he was some exemplar of civic duty for his enlistment in what amounted to a vigilante group. But we have to keep in mind that the people he put down were men with criminal records who were acting very much like we expect violent felons to act. They weren\u2019t heroes. They weren\u2019t victims. They made a conscious decision to attack a man with a gun, and they got shot. That\u2019s the end of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Men Shot in Kenosha Were Convicted Criminals Who Were Shot While Acting Like Criminals Tuesday night, the free-for-all of looting and general criminality visited upon Kenosha, WI, by Antifa street thugs came to an abrupt halt as a violent confrontation between a single \u201cmilitia\u201d member attempting to prevent property damage ended with three Antifa &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/?p=58831\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crap-for-brains","category-the-violence-inherent-in-the-left"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58831"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58832,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58831\/revisions\/58832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
