    Just today I was reading some really concerning articles from Raymond along these lines.

    http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8708 http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8752

    "I had business outside today. I needed to go in towards Philly, closer to the riots, to get a new PSU put into the Great Beast. I went armed; I’ve been carrying at all times awake since Philadelphia started to burn and there were occasional reports of looters heading into the suburbs in other cities.

    I knew I might be heading into civil unrest today. It didn’t happen. But it still could.

    Therefore I’m announcing my rules of engagement should any of the riots connected with the atrocious murder of George Floyd reach the vicinity of my person.

    I will shoot any person engaging in arson or other life-threatening behavior, issuing a warning to cease first if safety permits. Blacks and other minorities are otherwise safe from my gun; they have a legitimate grievance in the matter of this murder, and what they’re doing to their own neighborhoods and lives will be punishment enough for the utter folly of their means of expression once the dust settles. White rioters, on the other hand, will be presumed to be Antifa Communists attempting to manipulate this tragedy for Communist political ends; them I consider “enemies-general of all mankind, to be dealt with as wolves are” and will shoot immediately, without mercy or warning. UPDATE: I didn’t mention white nationalists because I judge my chances of encountering any member of that tiny, ineffectual movement to be effectively zero, and I refuse to cooperate with the mass-media fiction that they are a significant factor in this crisis.

    We don’t have a problem with white nationalists attempting to burn down our country using black people as tools and proxies. We have a problem with Communists doing that. I insist on naming – and if necessary, shooting – the real enemy."

    Man, that is some concerning shit, pardon my french. Really concerning shit.

    Im just speachless tbh. I talk a lot, you can see it in this threat, but I can only say about that, that it is some very concerning shit.

    Does he fancy himself to be Batman or what?

    I think he fancied himself as what Rittenhouse fancied himself. If you check the dates, the "Rules for Rioters" post predates the Rittenhouse one.

    But yeah, it was concerning enough to even leave an Argentino friend of mine, who voted for Milei no less, speechless.

    He's just waiting for the Reichstag to burn down, so he can blame the communists and enact some Enabling Act of ~~1933~~ 2025
