https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/ron-johnson-citizen-soldiers-vigilantes-024004443.htmlAs for the fatal shooting of protesters in Kenosha last week, he said in a CNN interview Sunday: ?Two people died because citizens took matters into their own hands. I?m not for vigilantism; I?m not sure that?s what was happening.?
Johnson declared that ?the way you stop the violence, the way you stop the rioting, is you surge manpower and resources, citizen soldiers, National Guard, and you overwhelm the number of rioters.?

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum shocks Democratic rivals, wins nomination for governor
His progressive agenda includes support for Medicare for all, a $15-an-hour minimum wage and staunch opposition to the Stand Your Ground self-defense law. That law gained new notoriety last month in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man, Markeis McGlockton, in a dispute over a parking space in Clearwater.
But Gillum, who announced his candidacy in March of last year, has also struggled to shake off the stigma of a long-running FBI investigation of possible corruption at Tallahassee City Hall.

How Trump Has Managed to Defy Gravity
His supporters can?t plead ignorance. We pretty much knew what he was before we voted for him. Trump is not subtle: He made his living billboarding who he is and what he does on tall buildings, in glowing neon, uncaring of whether it delights or offends. He is the most obvious politician we?ve ever had.
They didn?t vote for him despite knowing he was a living hand grenade. They voted for him because of it ? so they could roll that explosive device under Washington?s gate. When Trump rends the fabric of the establishment?s universe, he is doing exactly what his supporters want him to do. Instead of being shocked, disappointed, or offended, his fans cling to him. They pray, ?Please God, help him do it again.?
1. Millions of Americans remain repulsed with the Washington status quo and find its return so perilous that they prefer the human embodiment of nitroglycerin in the White House, even with its attendant collateral damage, rather than taste again the malignant gruel Washington was serving them. They judge that the explosive ingredient in dynamite is safer than the stew of venomous elitism that fed the decline of their country. Trump?s steadfast support is an appraisal: It measures how America feels about Washington, D.C.
As I?ve noted before, Trump?s supporters elected an apex predator, a T-rex, to eat the smaller, slimier pillagers who were devouring them. These voters are not shocked when the T-rex acts like a T-rex and, on occasion, mates with an inappropriate object or, oops, possibly by mistake, eats grandma. Instead, they say, ?I loved grandma. And I?ll miss her ... but this is what we need to fight the Washington raptors, the bastards.?
2. Nothing has changed in Washington since Donald Trump was elected. The D.C. establishment and the creaky, old political parties and legacy media have not learned anything from the beating this outsider gave them. As long as they hold enormous power, Trump voters will continue to cheer the bull in Washington?s china shop, as he breaks the remaining tea cups in the establishment?s precious displays.
3. Until someone in Washington does change and provides an acceptable alternative, Trump can not only shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, he can get caught in the Kremlin on Vladimir Putin?s desk with a goat, and his supporters won?t care. They expect Trump will say, ?Fake news! Fake desk! Fake goat! Maybe a younger, hotter bovid, but not this one!? They are good with that.
