A good article outlining why Kyle Rittenhouse was considered a specifically purposeful target for the regime is written at Powerline Blog by Paul Mirengoff [SEE HERE].
What the author essentially describes is something CTH readers have witnessed for over a decade, we called it “The Safari Principle” narrative; and it surfaced in its most modern form during the George Zimmerman case.
In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with a pretense that victims of the mob, any mob or individual predator, have no one except themselves to blame because they did not follow the rules of the safari. When in the proximity of any person, event or situation that is engaged in an unlawful act supported by the political left, you are not permitted to exit your vehicle or engage in activity that will lead to your targeting.
If you enter their “space to destroy“, you are to blame for your own outcome. The safari narrative includes catch phrases like “he should not have gotten out of the car,” and “he shouldn’t have traveled to Kenosha,” all based on the same principle.
(Powerline) […] The Rittenhouse prosecution and the demonization of him by the left (including the left-wing media) stems from a simple premise. Leftists, including Antifa and BLM, have the right to take to the street causing chaos and property damage, and when they do, those who disagree with them must stand aside while leftists run riot. If they don’t stand aside, they have no right to defend themselves against members of the mob who come after them — even if someone points a gun at them (as Grosskreutz did). (read more)
The first advocacy for the modern “Safari Principle” surfaced prior to the George Zimmerman trial, in the summer of 2012, when the professionally aggrieved first began the narrative: “He shouldn’t have gotten out of his car”.
Historically, we used to blame the victim by saying he/she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, politically it became too difficult to define where the wrong places were, and simultaneously legislators continued to struggle defining the right vs. wrong times law abiding people were allowed to be in these places.
Historically, the political media were skilled at excusing transparently guilty. However, in the aftermath of the Obama paradigm shift, where the media began accusing the transparently innocent, a more specific rule was needed.
After various opinions were considered, eventually the advocates settled upon The Safari Principle – A selected narrative used throughout 2012/2013 as a point of advocacy driving home the belief that George Zimmerman had no right to follow, then exit his vehicle when he saw a suspicious Trayvon Martin peering through windows and casing houses.
The “Safari Principle” evolved to further claim, ‘if you do get out of your car, you deserve what you get’ with the implication by the leftist narrative engineers that essentially young black males cannot control their behavior.
Shortly after the grievance advocates of Ben Crump, Natalie Jackson, Daryl Parks and the congressional black caucus announced their own support for the Safari Principle – another incident surfaced in Virginia when two reporters for the Virginia Pilot stopped and exited their vehicle after their car was hit by bricks.
The couple was attacked by a mob of somewhere between 30 to 100 young black males while shouting “justice for Trayvon”. After the reporters left the hospital, the Virginia Pilot editorial team quickly apologized for not following the Safari Park rules, accepted the beating of their reporters was the fault of the couple who stopped their vehicle, and the newspaper promised they would join the advocacy movement.
Fast forward through several more examples to August of 2014, when Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson exited his vehicle after Mike Brown punched him in the head and tried to gain his service revolver. The meme of The Safari Principle was quick to surface again, LOUDLY.
Officer Darren Wilson had no right to get out of his car after the attack.
By exiting his SUV, Wilson was to blame for Mike Brown charging him in the street. Again reaffirming the leftist worldview that young black males cannot control their behavior.
Subsequently, the grievance advocates pointed out Officer Wilson was ultimately to blame for shooting Mike Brown. If Wilson had followed the Safari Principle, Mike Brown would still be alive today.
After Mike Brown was killed by police officer Darren Wilson, the Safari Principle advocates applied the same theme to explain how Zemir Begic was guilty of his own murder, again in Saint Louis.
Zemir Begic exited his vehicle in the vicinity of three young black males who beat him to death with hammers. Begic would be alive today if he had only followed The Safari Principle rules.
A year later, 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake then became a public advocate for the safari rules when she proclaimed her decision to let the riots, looting and arson continue, as it was intended specifically to give the mob “space to destroy.” Despite the dozens of property owners who saw their shops, stores and livelihoods go up in smoke, the rules of the safari took precedent.
Again, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minnesota, the rules of the safari became evident when looting, arson and riots were defined as “expressions of speech.” All violence supported by the political left is considered speech, while speech opposed by the left is defined as violence.
Because the visible chaos did not align with the gentle media descriptions of “protests“, the corporate media decision was to modify the language used to describe the arson and riots by using the term “mostly peaceful protests,” that term has stuck within the visible chaos over the past few years in various forms.
Obviously the word “mostly” is a relative term , and that provides the flexibility needed to convince viewers the violence they are witnessing isn’t really the violence they are witnessing.
.
Kyle Rittenhouse made the mistake of trying to impede violence, arson and rioting supported by the political left and their media allies. Rittenhouse paid a heavy price for not following the rules of the safari, and that is why they are so determined to make an example of him.
In 2020 the FBI, the political left who need/support the violence, and the current occupant of the White House did not make the same mistake as Rittenhouse. Instead the FBI, Democrats and Joe Biden adhered to the safari rules and took the approved approach as demanded by the mob:
Lets hope that the Rittenhouse trial and subsequent acquittal, will change the direction. I doubt it though. Kyle is lucky he is alive. They would have finished him off if they could have.
only hundreds more Kyle moments will change the direction, unfortunately.
Hes not safe now at all. The left will move to destroy him by any means they have. It’s a dark time in our culture and uts our fault fir sitting back and not brutally crushing the left in the sixties and Onward. Instead we coddled and gave into them and luke a cancer they have overtaken our institutions.
My parents’ generation stopped them in the Sixties but did not kill them. No, they would not even permit their state representatives a pay raise with their tax dollars. They kept us free but it is up to us now.
The ACLU, among others, used the Constitution to keep the lefty’s alive, and to help make Clint Eastwood popular through his prescient Dirty Harry films.
Those same groups back then weren’t in favor of majority rule, but the BOR certainly was a key for protecting the rights of the minority.
That’s right. Post WWII was a pivotal point as to what direction we were headed in. I guess men were tired of fighting after the war and the boomers had it so good they weren’t worried about such things. It was good times for the hippies while communists were everywhere. Nobody would listen to those who raised the red flag. Couldn’t happen here, that’s a conspiracy theory, etc
We were infested by communists – just more discreetly than now.
My Dad, a WWII veteran saw it coming as a member of the John Birch Society. No one listened then.
Don’t forget the liberals chastising and mocking those post-WWII normal Americans for being afraid of commies by popularizing the notion of the “Red Scare”. The pernicious pushing of this propaganda over the last 3 generations has allowed commies to advance a great pace under our noses with the help of the media.
Except it is happening here, following the trial. A group of communists protesting the juries decision, carrying a huge banner saying: This is their “communist revolution”. Pretty clear what America is dealing with these days. Action, not denial is what more Americans need to realize.
If conservatives and especially conservative Christians had removed their children from the public schools many of the leftist dig bats would have learned a different worldview. But if conservatives turn their children over to be trained in a worldview that is contrary to their own what outcome should be expected? We all reap what we sow. Conservatives chose to have their offspring trained by communist in the public schools instead of biting the bullet and either homeschool them or putting them in a private school for their status in life. Conservatives are to blame if their children grew up to be leftist lunatics because we gave them their replacements for all those murdered children they aborted.
There is no way in hell that my parents could have home schooled me or put me in a private school in the 50’s and 60’s in the area where I grew up. I wasn’t brain washed in school. Schools changed after the freaking hippies grew up and started teaching.
Young, white male, law abiding, freedom loving and with balls of titanium.
Of course he is a target. And hated. And always will be by the political left and their allies. Until they no longer exist.
Paul Mirengoff is an anti-Trump big government fake con.
He got what he wanted with his vote and now complains.
He is a fool.
I never give PowerLine clicks because they hate me.
yup, swore off that site awhile back when it became obvious he was a classic nevertrumper
More Bore: Same here. I stopped cold more than a year ago and have never been back.
Me too
Paul Mirengoff is a decent man who may not be as far to the right as some of us. We should not be doctrinaire purists. My main complaint about Mirengoff is that he notoriously refuses to read the comments attached to his posts as they are “a waste of time.”
I believe this man explains it well.
Now that is a true blue grass ballard. Awesome. Thanks for posting.
Take your safari and shove it. Natural law of self defense not made up jungle law.
exactly!
Exactly! What would change the course of this safari bs is when the left’s foot solders get overly confident and stray into a rural or red community and end up getting confronted by patriots at gun point. Happened last year in both Eastern Washington and North Idaho. BEAUTIFUL to see. In the middle of Seattle’s summer of love, several pantifa wieners thought they could annex communities east of the Cascades. That lasted about 20 minutes. About the time the masked punks showed up they were immediately confronted with about twice as many patriots carrying AR15s. It was over before it started and was not attempted a 2nd time.
So now the DOJ is going to charge him? With violating the Safari Principle? What times we live in!
That’s why they kept repeating ad nauseam that he crossed state lines.
‘Crossing state lines’ invites the FIB and gives them jurisdiction.
well, then what will the FBI say about it when governors of some states say “no, you aren’t crossing THIS line”
Haha. That would be epic!
Seriously though, it’s sad that the FACT the KR did NOT cross state lines with a gun (it was at a relative’s house in Kenosha – LEGALLY! And he owned it LEGALLY!) — sad that these facts don’t matter to the FIB. They‘lol simply make up their own facts as we know they do.
It’s all they have and no matter how hard they push it, it’s going down in flames.
Mr. Rittenhouse’s’ legal team aren’t pikers.
To me, the Safari Principle invites a powerfully scoped rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmore.
So when are we going?
Or something in .470 Nitro Express.
Low rate of fire but can’t argue with the impact. Wee bit over penetration.
Today was Opening Day of the 9 Day Wisconsin Gun Deer Hunt…
The LORD works in mysterious ways…
Reason is the rule among men, violence is the rule among beasts.
When on a safari, observe the beasts but don’t engage with them.
Maybe what we need is a zoo.
A sinner is known by Lies – what does that say about the media.
Excellent analysis. How much longer are we going to put up with this crap?!!!
The epitome of “racism”….blatantly excusing the actions of a person, simply because of their race, regardless of the heinousness of their behaviour, while at the same time condemning the actions of another person, no matter how justified they were, simply because of the color of their skin!
How about we return to the principle of holding each individual responsible for their own decisions and the consequences thereof? I am beyond frustrated that more people are not willing to consider this option and instead, insist on judging people ONLY by the color of their skin, rather than the content of their character!!
This wasn’t race, but: identifies as___
All had white skin, but the bad guys had RED politics and BLACK hearts.
Sorry, I have to exercise my 1st Amendment and speak my mind. With every genuinely brilliant piece by Sundance, I find myself becoming the sane man in an insane world.
Fellow compatriots, if more people were willing to step out of their bubble, exercise their 2nd Amendment, their wouldn’t be any riots.
The 2A isn’t just for self defense and please for the love all things holy, bear in mind that nearly all gun laws are in opposition to your rights, ergo ILLEGAL.
Local radio caller stated Kyle used poor judgement because he didn’t have his FOID card (Firearms Owner ID). I’m sorry, nobody should have one. In fact, I would be dubious of ammunition suppliers and arms manufacturers who are not screaming their heads off about how illegal this is.
Everyone needs to go back to basics, read the Federalist Papers, read the opinions regarding the “Judiciary” and their powers. I don’t have the quote handy but they used the 2nd Amendment as the example and had a strong opinion about where the courts could shove it.
What are you willing to do and when will you be willing to do it?
Don’t let people dupe you into the false reality that standing your ground, owning, or even using a firearm is akin to violence. We have a country that needs some serious backbone. Time to stand, let them drag us into court, Alinsky’s rules go both ways.
This isn’t a call to violence, it’s a reminder that we need to “hold the line”, if they cross it God will forgive you.
You can’t buy ammo in ca without a federal ID and background check. It’s ridiculous
I’m not sure but I think you can buy ammo in Florida with a 3 day waiting period.
I can buy ammo via Internet or in person, any day and with no waiting period……period!
Ridiculous to have to wait.
You need to move to a freedom state.
Yes, you have a right to bear arms but no right to ammo… That is my point, people who manufacture arms/ammo should have stoked the citizens and sold it w/out anyways and dared the “Assholes-who Take Firearms” to do anything. Sorry, ATF’s history makes them nothing more than a terrorist organization w/a badge. People have to stand up, be responsible but push back.
All agencies, EPA, ATF, FBI, etc. Zero tolerance for them or their policies. If they are banging on your neighbors door at 4 AM you/me, WE need to be ready to pressure them and ask for disclosure. This means, “know thy neighbor”. Also, it needs to be a group effort, entire neighborhoods, subdivisions, parishes, etc. I’ve seen it happen in real life, the ATF doesn’t know how to deal w/200+ untrusting citizens swarming/surrounding them. You also won’t ever hear about it because they’ll never admit it and the news won’t cover it.
Stand, act, be the example to others.
Cash and carry your box of ammo (used to be boxes) past the cashier at most good hardware/farm supply stores in Wisconsin…
True Value, Farm and Fleet, McFarlanes, etc.
Same goes for Ivermectin.
Are you still participating and hence, supporting such a corrupt system?
Treepers, friend, Patriots, please consider this.
The Pilgrims embarked onboard the leaky, creaky Mayflower to escape the Old World Corruptocracy…
And left everything and everyone near and dear to them behind for the promise of FREEDOM to build a life in the new continent of North America.
I grew up in suburban Los Angeles. And it really sucks to realize that to hold true to your faith and core values you may have to become essentially a political/economic/religious refugee, IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.
But God makes it all work out. I’m still learning how to make peace with the winters of Wisconsin. Parkas and lots of firewood helps tremendously…
I pity the fool that lives in the Dakota’s or Alaska or Canada.
And No-Hassle ammunition purchases also helps.
The social democrats in post WWI Germany adhered to The Safari Principle; didn’t turn out to well for them.
I am not a fan of this either. Somehow it cheapens the situation and makes Kyle seem like some kind of commercial commodity.

Kyle
In his defense
He went up against
A hoard of Marxist thugs
They looted and hooted
Burned and colluded
destroying the
working mans pride
These heroes of theft
These villains that left
A city chard and afraid
Of cops they’re were none
They sat on their thumps
While a child walked into the fray
The sheriff in basement
Cowardly complacent
Hid from his duty that day
The lies were terrific
The slander specific
Media corruption displayed
The court of opinion
In it’s dominion
Left not a stone unturned
In search of his guilt
False rumor was built
No crime of his could they find
Our hero this day
On Twelve jurors say
Acquitted
The facts show just cause
Persecution by Prosecution
Courted disillusion
lost because truth was displayed
Three cheers for our hero
Prosecution gets zero
Defense of the righteous
Gets praise
By LL Richardson Jr
All that needs is a catchy tune!
Synopsis: Conservatives are NOT allowed to defend themselves from leftists attacks.
People who believe in or support the “Safari Principle” don’t believe in the natural right to self preservation. As such they are not rational human beings.
Right!
As Americans, going about our pursuits of life, liberty and happiness, we are not visitors, tourists, attendees . . . this is OUR country, all of it . . .
it does not “belong” to crooked politicians and their legacy-building, putting the citizens constantly at risk due to the poor quality of management of the assets . . .
look at Detroit, for example . . . . how many generations of Dingells in office and during that same time, Detroit has been going down the drain . . . .
the politicians are bums who want to be left alone to continue to erode our national pride, resources and the hopes of our future generations . . .
they keep trying to drive all of us apart but everyone is recognizing the bullshit
And yet leftists would never apply this principle to rape. And I’m not minimizing rape. It’s a horrific crime. But if the Safari principle is to be applied, then it should be applied with, oh, I don’t know, let’s say for the sake of popular argument: equity. Ergo, if a woman wearing a mini skirt and walking down a street at night is raped, then it is her fault.
That happens all the time in and around no-go zones in Europe.
Police look the other way. Think “grooming gangs” in the UK, and what Tommy Robinson endured for calling them out.
You make a very good point. Thanks for raising that. The left can’t keep up with their own rules, likely because they have no core principles.
Oh but Sarah Lee, you are wrong. The leftists were just fine with a 15 yo girl being raped by a tranny/boy in a skirt in a girls bathroom in a high school. That was fine because it/he was a tranny. No protection for the girl against the Educrats of Loudon County Educrat system. The it/tranny’s own mother said the girl asked for it and didn’t “fight enough”. The leftists only care if the narrative of rape fits their narrative.
You’re right. They’ve carved out all kinds of crazy exceptions to their own rules and rules for breaking their own rules. Hard to keep up. But, yeah, good point.
I stopped looking at Powerline a long time ago. Paul Mirengoff is the worst of their lot, a total Anti-Trumper who I found to be mentally unstable as the liberals are. The whole site is at best RINO – covers for those who claim to be conservative, yet are at heart Romney type traitors to the principles of conservatism.
Mirengoff I write off as a total loss, a man who I question as having ever been mentally stable, and potentially a leftist writing under cover as a person of the right. The man was insanely against every single thing that involved Trump. Powerline is Minnesota based, and I find that they do not really stand for principles of conservatism, not really different than Drudge turned out to be.
What a lot of nonsense!!
Another bona fide member of “Conservative” Inc.
The Ballad of Kyle Rittenhouse. Great.
I’m rushing to re-post this to VTB.
First rule of safari: ‘Bring enough gun.’
“Use Enough Gun” was a classic.
After the 50+ year slide to Somali standards, it’s time for the other Safari Principle:
bring a 600 Nitro Express to the game preserve…
Interesting considering it was a Paul Mirengoff post. I rarely read anything by him. I consider Paul to be a hate Trump/love any Bushie of any generation type guy. Powerline is a good blog considering 2 of the guys (Scott & John) are Minnesota attorneys. I wouldn’t say they’re hugely pro Trump but they look at the results. I’m sure they are of the ilk that hated Trumps tweets but would take them any day of the year compared to what we have today. I doubt Paul M would be of the same ilk. Paul is a DC type RINO. He’s swampy.
I consider myself fortunate to have escaped the socialist/marxist state of MN over 15 years ago and moved to Middle TN. Things aren’t perfect here but there is absolutely no comparison between TN and MN.
Great ad hominem attack! Congratulations!
This is an AMAZING article! This is literally a sociopath’s thinking construct. Also seen in the thinking of a Domestic Violence perpetrator (who also may very well be a sociopath0: “If she didn’t do…I wouldn’t have had to hit her”
The irony was Zimmerman did not look Caucasian and was not Caucasian.
When they first heard the name Zimmerman the news media and Democrats automatically assumed he was an old German White guy with a gun. They were shocked to find he was half Puerto Rican! LOL
Isn’t Kyle part Latino??
The problem with safaris is that they go where subhumans and non-humans predominate, and into areas where the rule of law will not defend humans from instinctive animal aggression. Much of America is under the control of anarchists, communists and revolutionary terrorists and presents the same danger as the thickest and densest jungle.
Jesse Jackson is a terrorist.

Reading this is a trip. I remember all these people, places and things. We’ve been thru a lot here. No wonder so many of us jumped on the Trump train the first time it stopped at CTH!
For those of you who remember the sage advice of Ol’ Remus, may he rest in peace: Avoid crowds.
Was a wise man and much missed.
At this point, all we can do about left wingers is mock them and Babylon Bee does just that.
“Prosecutors Find Mail-In Jury Votes At 3AM, Rittenhouse Now Guilty”
Shortly after the Great Showdown on Mt. Carmel, where Isaiah challenged the prophets of Baal – the figurehead of the local sex cult – with a resounding victory by the LORD of Hosts, recorded in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 18… Isaiah seemed to have lost his confidence in God’s mighty Providence.
So in Ch. 19, the Creator-God had to encourage his prophet to re-gird his loins and know the LORD fight with him…
Isaiah 19:18
Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
ALL THE KNEES THAT HAVE NOT BOWED TO BAAL…
Maybe it is just that.
We children of the Most High have been here before. Long before.
VDMA, I’m not nitpicking but I think you meant Elijah.
Yes, Elijah. 1 Kings 19:18.
The flame will blow up completely out of left field. A small incident will start it. And the people will start exacting our revenge. Woe is the commie caught alone.

Ba ba but Tucker is,”controlled opposition” the idiots said ? .
It’s hard to believe how fking stupid people can be, resently duh controlled opposition guy did the most intensive show on 1,6 to date , everyone else was giving it a good leaving alone, now he’s bringing Kyle Rittenhouse into the public eye just like a deep state plant would do , ??
To abide by the ‘Safari Principle’ during a ‘peaceful protest’ then is racist. Racist, or bigoted because that assumes there are animals out there. IMHO

NOW – Crowd chants “the only solution is Communist revolution” at Chicago’s protest against the Rittenhouse verdict.
Saw that. ?
Unrest at “mostly peaceful” protest in Portland last night. Antifa Central not happy they lost on the Kenosha battlefield last year and in the courtroom this year.
“Portland police declared a riot on Friday night, after protesters, angry at the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, began smashing windows and hurling objects at the officers. Some 200 people gathered in downtown Portland, Oregon soon after Rittenhouse was found not guilty of murder in a fatal shooting that saw two men killed and another wounded during violent Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August 2020. The jury in the case had ruled that the 18-year-old had fired his semi-automatic rifle in self-defense.
When law enforcement agents arrived on site, demonstrators began tossing objects at them, with minor person-to-person clashes also being reported. The police department declared a riot after what it described as a ‘violent, destructive group’ attempted to breach the gates of the Multnomah County Detention Center. However, they failed to gain entry and were later dispersed. One person was arrested as a result of the unrest, and the police published a photo of the rear window of one of its vehicles being smashed as part of its efforts to identify the perpetrator.” ~ RT News
Let’s do the math. In Portland 200 rioters attack the police and only one is arrested. With that hit ratio Portland is never going to overcome ANTIFA and BLM!
When the hQs of public enemy #1 are burned to the ground with their propagandists inside, the tipping point will be upon us
Merriam-Webster
Definition of safari
1
: the caravan and equipment of a hunting expedition especially in eastern Africa
Safari Principle doesn’t fit at all does it?
I believe you’re mis-interpreting Sundance’s use of the term and the original context in which he coined it (or borrowed it)
His use of the term doesn’t really refer to actual hunting safaris, like the African one you cite
Instead, I believe Sundance’s usage refers to “Safari Parks”, like the Six Flags adventure park in New Jersey (and elsewhere) that you can driver though and observe African wildlife while in your car …
… with the windows rolled up (rolled up !!!!!!)
Key point is that your windows are – you guessed it – rolled up.
You can search youtube and find videos of baboons or chimpanzees ripping cars apart where the occupants left their windows down or gapped too much. Also, anyone unfortunate enough to enter the park with rooftop luggage on roof racks has their luggage and all contents strewn about, those monkeys are strong, strong, strong and can batter the luggage open.
The other corallary is – certainly – don’t get out of the car
Or you’ll be subject to the same mayhem
So that’s Sundance’s origin theme, I’d contend
And there’s an analogy at play between contemporary American inner cities (or riot zones in the current example) and those parks with the rampaging monkeys
YMMV

sundance. the first two links in the article to the ‘Safari Principle’ link back to the current article.
The third link is to the older article addressing the SP.
We are going to be forced, actually coerced, into making sometime in the very not so distant future (considering current events) a decision and I pray we all make the right one.
They want one of us to start the war they so much want to happen to declare MARTIAL LAW.
That can only happen if you have a compliant populace (masks 24/7/365 anyone?) and fear of losing what you
possess.
And what we see in the propaganda media mill and internet shows us what we are up against.
Those pictures of politicians, our so called best of the best in law enforcement and the supposedly
most powerful man in the western world is bowing down to Lucifer and his minions is what you need to recall
when we have to do what we don’t want to do.
No quarter folks. We did that after the Civil War and look what we got.
Don’t get me wrong. The average citizen soldier at that time was a victim of propaganda
as much as we have been today. Those in power in the southern states convinced their populace that their way of life
was threatened, when it was a specific segment of the population that was threatened: The plantation
owners. Many young men died because of the greed of the plantation owners.
And the party of plantation owners is still the Democrat party. They are the racists. They are the ones who want endless
wars. They are the ones who advocate the death of the unborn (interesting aside, I watched a documentary about
the Nation Lampoon. (Disclaimer – I bought and read it. It was the adult version of MAD magazine. Nothing was sacred. Nothing)
The National Lampoon did a cover called Baby In A Blender, which showed a baby in a blender and Satan’s hand
reaching for the blend button. The Christian Coalition went into overdrive against the Lampoon, not even understanding
what the sarcasm of what it really meant: Abortion.
That is the mentality we’re dealing with here folks: No sense of history, culture, reality or citizenship.
The USA used to be called the melting pot of the world. Thank the conmunist democrats for extinguishing the
flame that kept it boiling.
Lincoln, who has been revered for saving the Union, had the chance to cut the head of the snake off and decided
to not do so in order to “heal” the nation. Remember this every time you see a conmunist demoncrat or their
mouth piece flapping their lips and doing their best to make you and your family more miserable.
I took an Oath when I enlisted. Nobody told me it was null and void when I separated.
“Are we living in a drive through Safari Park?
If we get out of our vehicles we deserve what we get and we shouldn’t blame the animals, much less shoot them in self-defense?”
For those that miss the gems in the word-links.
Bail was $2M. Mike Lindell donated $50,000, and Ricky Schroder donated $150,000 to the Fightback Foundation.
Half a million dollars was raised by Wendy Rittenhouse.
The balance was covered by various folks, including police officers, public officials, everyday people.
Note: Lindell’s spokesperson Michelle Lawless released a statement that Lindell donated money to help fund election fraud litigation, among other things, not to bail out Kyle.
Now that the bond is to be returned after the trial, John Pierce (Kyle’s first attorney) is fighting for the money, Lin Wood (who started the foundation) is fighting for the money, and Kyle and mom Wendy Rittenhouse are fighting for the money.
It’s complicated: https://nypost.com/2021/11/20/rittenhouse-former-lawyers-in-dispute-over-who-gets-2m-bond-money/
thx for the reminder / notification, Kleen
speaks volumes
Lindell says otherwise.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/mypillow-ceo-intended-50k-donation-be-used-to-fund-election-fraud-litigation-rather-than-kyle-rittenhouse-s-bail/ar-BB1bjMzk
“However, the businessman released a subsequent statement saying the $50,000 donation he gave to Rittenhouse’s cause was not meant for the 17-year-old Kenosha shooting suspect’s bail fund. Instead, Lindell said, he intended to assist the organization sponsoring Rittenhouse’s defense fundraiser in its unrelated pursuits, such as ‘election fraud litigation.’ Lindell is a supporter of Donald Trump and appeared at one of his re-election campaign rallies earlier this year.”
Ok the guy can’t be right on everything.
There are many practical and legal lessons to learn from the Rittenhouse trial. We need to stop short of overanalyzing this, though.
The more time passes, post-verdict, the more I appreciate Defense Atty Richards’ statements, about people turning Kyle into a cause, fundraising and capitalizing on his celebrity.
Richards was exactly right about Don Jr. and Gaetz and Gosar being wrong-headed.
Seems to me, Richards sees and appears to care for the person in this, Kyle. I’m not so sure everyone celebrating Kyle sees that. Knowing that Kyle’s dad was not a positive, strong influence in his life, I hope that Richards and Chirafisi can serve as friends and mentors to him. The broader public, sadly, has very little to offer, spiritually or substantively.
The following sums it up better than me.
Watch Mark Richards’ press conference:

“I was hired by the two first lawyers. I’m not going to use their names,” Richards said Friday. “They wanted to use Kyle for a cause and something that I think was inappropriate — and I don’t represent causes. I represent clients.”
This quote from https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/rittenhouse-lawyers-trial-playbook-dont-crusade-defend/:
“These guys have a client who is a human being … that’s what they’re rightly focused on,” said Dean Strang, a defense attorney and professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. Strang, who spoke to the AP before Friday’s verdict and who wasn’t connected to the case, said Richards and Chirafisi see Rittenhouse “as an 18-year-old kid who landed in a whole lot of trouble, more than he could handle.”
Listen to Robert Barnes about Richards and I think you get a more balanced look.
In many ways, small town Richards almost botched this. Kyle is lucky. Very lucky.
Watch Shane, especially the final scene with Joey. Can’t help but think of Kyle in Shane’s lines.
A beleaguered Safarist said, “Bing!–
If quelling a riot’s your thing,
Each serial shooter who takes out ten looters
is worth an engraven Gold Ring.”
lifted verbatim from an actual SP “guidelines for visitors”….
The Safari Rules:
-Never feed the animals.
-Never chase the animals.
– Remember, the animals always have the right of way.
-Don’t harass the animals.
– Make as little noise as possible.
-Don’t make sudden movements around the animals, and don’t try to
attract their attention.
-Don’t litter.
-Remember that animals are dangerous and unpredictable – Don’t take
any risks.
-Don’t disturb other visitors.
-Stick to the correct hours – It’s normal for parks to enforce a dusk to
dawn ban.
-Don’t pull up next to or in front of another vehicle.
-Stay in your vehicle at all times.
-Keep on marked roads.
-Don’t drive through cordoned off areas.
The real “White privilege” is that if Kyle Rittenhouse and the three gun shot guys were Black, it would never even have made the news.
“The Safari Principle” principles origination? I’m confused ?♀️ — definitely fits but wonder where this principle originated from, which document, doctrine, a CTH named phenomenon? I read a lot but this is first time I heard it used in this context.
I offered some context on page 2, search for nimrod
it’s got to do with drive-thru wildlife “safari parks” where you can observe wildlife from your car
you should keep your windows rolled up and certainly don’t get out of the car, lest you get torn apart by monkeys or baboons
Knowsley Safari Park baboons cause chaos
Looks the same as looting.
yep
Police Officers Swarm Getaway Car, Drag Suspect Into Street After Thieves Completely Empty Out Louis Vuitton Store in San Francisco (VIDEO)
KKK 2.0 always believes black people and their surrogates in antifa are animals. The only difference is that at this moment they’re pets, protected and feted, as long as they obey the leftists.
They’ll most certainly turn on them should their underlings decide to stand up against them.
You’ll see a very harsh and violent response.
Are you thinking Nazi 2.0? KKK 2.0 is the Democrat National Committee, as was KKK 1.0. Only now they demonize “whitey”, while still keeping blacks on the manor, as serfs instead of slaves.
AntiFa & BLM members ARE animals.
Only racists I see these days are Democrats (and Democrats posing as Republicans online). It’s all about skin color for Dems. Very primitive.
Looks like the word went out to Obama’s National Security Force (BLM, Antifa, etc.) to hit LV (and probably other high-end) stores b/c the verdict looked like it was not going to go the way of the mob. Thursday night a LV store in Oak Brook, Il (a Chicago suburb) store was also hit.
“… lest you get torn apart by monkeys or baboons.”
I saw what you did there – : )
? ? ? ? ? ? ?
“I saw what you did there”
I dindu nuffin
see the Knowsely Park youtube clip … actual baboons
there are other clips with monkeys
Dindu Nuffin. The “I” is redundant.
After reading your comment, I had an epiphany when I glanced up at the top corner of my Imac and saw with new eyes the Apple logo right next to the name of the Safari browser. How totally fitting and emblematic of hiding in plain sight. Apple, as much as or more than, any of the current manipulators and censors of free speech as told us of their intent all along. Stay in the car or face the consequences.
Back in early seventies we called it “jungle warfare” and going Downtown was “going to the jungle”. ,
… where you can observe the
wildlifeanimals from your car… fixed it forya 🙂Interesting – my mental link reading the article was that the Left considered the mob to be the lions and the victims the antelopes, and the antelopes are responsible for their own demise. Blaming the prey for the predator’s actions. The outrage you hear when the mob is resisted is the result of cognitive dissonance when the antelope gores the lion in self defense.
A better analogy, though, is that the mob are poachers and the victims the equivalent of any illegally taken animal. And poachers deserve nothing more than to be removed from the field – with or without prejudice, depending on the their own actions.
sorry, but no
you’re reading too much into it
Sundance explicitly referred to drive-thru safari parks (as I explained upthread) in his 2013 article
The Safari Principle
The hidden subtext could be construed as the following… In modern America, a prudent citizen should know to remain in their vehicle, doors locked, windows up, when there are young black males known to be in the vicinity.
What does this say about our society?
Are we living in a drive through Safari Park?
If we get out of our vehicles we deserve what we get and we shouldn’t blame the animals, much less shoot them in self-defense?
Actually, ‘safari rules’ more aptly apply to big game safari hunting, typically in Africa. Hunting big game like Cape Buffalo nicknamed Black Death) or elephants can be quite deadly if you do not follow the hunting guide’s instructions.
sorry, but no … not in this context …. watch the Knowsley Safari Park video near top of this page

I think what he’s saying is, in all these cases, the commie foot soldiers et al, tried to use the excuse that “He shouldn’t have been there, shouldn’t have gotten out of the car, etc…”
It’s a common theme that has been given a title by those of us paying attention. “Safari Principle”
And quite frankly, it completely ignores the constitution and s—-s on Americans rights. It’s played out and completely wrong when it boils down to the law.
Kyles case was massive for we the people. Because now every defendant in similar circumstances can refer to this case.
It’s going to make the Agent provocateurs think twice before shouting “shoot me N—-//.$,
The “Safari Principle” is not in any statute that exists at state or federal levels. If judges are admitting that nonsense, they need removed from the bench and sanctioned by the ABA.
It’s certainly understood by lefty judges. Any who managed to miss it are immersed in media reinforcement. I’m watching Chuck Todd and his talking heads attack 2A even at this [joyous] moment.
I think you missed the point of Sundance’s article. IMO Sundance is explaining why Kyle became a rallying cry to both BLM and leftists even though no black people were injured in the incident. And it explains why the protests and hate-mongering against the verdict are going on right now in the media, on the streets, by politicians and among families and associates. At a deeper level, Sundance is explaining the underlying attitudes of how those protesting and those who support the protests are affecting others throughout our society – the new rules to which they expect and demand the rest of us to submit to and which, sadly, so many have chosen to submit to.
I understood is point I offered a solution. Identify and GET RID OF SUCH JUDGES by pressuring for impeachments and removals.
Soros put Liberal Judges in these positions and some are in for life.
The first advocacy for the modern “Safari Principle” surfaced prior to the George Zimmerman trial, in the summer of 2012, when the professionally aggrieved first began the narrative: “He shouldn’t have gotten out of his car”.
Go to the above sentence in the article. Then click on the hyperlink. It takes you another piece Sundance wrote back in 2013 on the genesis of the Safari Principle.
Here is that link. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/?s=The+Safari+Principle
It pulls up a number of Sundance’s articles building on this principle. All well worth reading again.
None of what we see today is per chance – not a single bit.
Thanks, sDee … that’s a good link that pulls up all articles containing the phrase
Here’s a direct link to his 2013 article that’s one of the first useages, or at least very early
The Safari Principle
….or just a part of the color revolution initiative ala Obama, clyburn, Muslim brotherhood…to systematically transform the Country and world
Essentially means people have no “moral” right to get out of their cars.
Would they want us to extend it to the 50-80 people PER WEEKEND that get shot in Chicago??
They shouldn’t even be living in Chicago?
Chicago = self-cleaning oven
I know that’s rude and insensitive, but sometimes I just get in that mood, gnomesayin’ ?
Straight out of the minds of those connected to the prince of darkness
That idiot Lincoln Admitted blacks couldn’t be ruled by the same laws as Whites because of their violent and criminal nature!
