A Kenosha, Wisconsin, parks panel set aside a proposal for a memorial to the man who was killed during the city’s riots almost two years ago, but one activist suspects the idea is still alive.
The five-member Kenosha Parks Commission in the city south of Milwaukee decided Monday not to follow through on the proposal to dedicate a memorial tree and plaque to Anthony Huber, the man who attacked then 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse during a Black Lives Matter riot on Aug. 25, 2020.
Huber’s girlfriend, Illinois resident Hannah Gittings, had filed the proposal with the commission asking for the memorial marker to be placed in the skateboard-wielding attacker’s name in Anderson Park, Fox News Digital reported.
News of the proposal was first brought before the public by Kevin Mathewson, a former Kenosha alderman turned independent journalist, who noticed that the proposal had been placed on the commission’s agenda for Monday.
“The career violent criminal and felon, Anthony Huber might have a memorial tree planted and plaque installed at Kenosha’s Anderson Park,” Mathewson wrote on his website Kenosha County Eye.
Mathewson described Huber’s criminal history and noted that Rittenhouse only acted when he had no choice.
“We’ve all seen the photos and videos,” Mathewson wrote of the riot. “While Kyle was running towards police, violent protesters attacked. One man drop-kicked Kyle. Huber struck Kyle in his head with a skateboard. Anthony Huber lived a life of severe violence and crime. He was given several chances in life to change course. With his most serious conviction, the Judge showed him some undeserved mercy and sentenced him to probation. He later had his probation revoked and went to prison for new crimes.”
Memorializing another criminal!
Our society (part of it anyway) has descended to a disgusting state!
He already has a memorial. It’s in the Tell Cemetery near Kenosha, right above his remains. His obit headlines from 2020 said he died a hero. He didn’t. He died because he was definitely stupid and most likely intoxicated.
