“Kyle Rittenhouse’s gun can veto the bullhorn. We have to act: It should be clearly illegal under federal law to menace protestors while armed. The right to keep and bear arms must not obliterate the right to peaceably assemble. We have to consider this an act of political intimidation on its face moving forward, if the ballot is meant to prevail over the bullet.”

"Newswise — A new report published in the academic journal Pacific Affairs authored by Dr Tom Smith from the University of Portsmouth and Dr Joseph Reyes from Lund University investigates election violence in the Philippines. It is the first academic research published on the issue in 23 years and evidences increasing violence, the armed groups involved and murky role of state security forces across the massacres of journalists, assassinations of candidates and attacks on voters and campaign groups.
• Election Violence in the Philippines has worsened since 2004, contrary to claims by government and previous research.
- Election Violence in the Philippines is largely perpetrated by unidentified assassins and fruitful investigations are rare.
• The Duterte administration has fostered vigilante violence in its ‘war on drugs’ and risks further fuelling another violent election.
• Media reporting on the election and the violence around it is increasingly dangerous, journalists are murdered and media networks under threat.
• Election Violence is hard to monitor and currently falls between the cracks of various international election monitoring initiatives."
Violence in the upcoming Philippines election will be the bloodiest ever
