ReutersExpert Issy Sawkins thinks there could be ...kickback' following the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial '/ ' A wave of protests swept the nation in cities following the killing of George Floyd by a police officer on May 25, 2020. In Kenosha, Wisconsin, riots were sparked when Jacob Blake was shot by cops and left partially paralyzed on August 23. Rittenhouse, then-17, vowed to ...protect businesses... in Kenosha amid the chaos, and traveled to the area armed with an AR-15-style rifle. On August 25, Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz. On Friday, he was cleared of murder and attempted murder over the shootings, after convincing a jury he had acted in self defense. Sawkins says the case may divide the country even further, and embolden militias. The Waco standoff of 1993 and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing were significant moments as the American militia movement mobilized, Sawkins said. Officers at the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms tried to execute a search and arrest warrant as they suspected the religious cult Branch Davidians were stockpiling illegal weapons. Gunfire erupted and FBI agents sparked a siege that lasted 51 days. Cops used tear gas in a bid to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch before their compound The Mount Carmel Center burst into flames.

ALL GROWN UP Britain's Got Talent star George Sampson unrecognisable 13 years after show Domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh sought revenge for the Waco siege and thought bombing was a "legitimate tactic" against a tyrannical government, according to a letter published in the Buffalo News and cited by CNN. The Oklahoma City bombing saw at least 168 people killed and injured more than 680. It remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism ever seen on American soil. In recent years, militias believed they ...were not represented... under President Obama, while their ideas were ...emboldened... during the Trump presidency, according to Sawkins. Sawkins believes the rise of social media has played a significant role when it comes to explaining the rise of militias. She said: "Social media has unequivocally been a major player. It is both a blessing and a curse on society. It gives people a platform for echo chambers. "On social media sites, there are algorithms meaning that if you pick one thing, for example, it shows you more." Sawkins claims there's not enough policing on social media sites as extremists moved away from the likes of Facebook and Twitter to platforms such as TikTok. She said: "Part of the reason for the growth of the militia movements has been the growth of social media. The ability to connect with people in all corners of the world to share ideas." TikTok bosses have taken considerable steps to limit the spread of harmful content as phrases such as ...Proud Boys..., ...Boogaloo... and ...III%ers... are in breach of community guidelines. The acronym NFAC, which refers to the militia group The Not F**king Around Coalition, is also in breach of the site's guidelines. Members of the so-called Boogaloo Bois are heavily armed and are increasingly skeptical of government. Meanwhile, the Three Percenters are an anti-government group that took its name from the idea that only three percent of American colonists armed against the Brits in the American Revolution. The Sun found that videos relating to the frivolous conspiracy theory QAnon can still be accessed when searching for ...QNAnon.... Violent clashes of an anti-vax rally in Los Angeles from August, and footage of Proud Boys supporters at December's pro-Trump "Jericho March" were among videos that contained the hashtag ...ProundBoy2020.... A TikTok spokesperson told The Sun: ...TikTok does not tolerate hate speech. We work aggressively to combat hate by making this content harder to find across search and hashtags and proactively removing accounts and content that violate our policies. "We continually update our safeguards with misspellings and new phrases as we work to keep TikTok a safe, creative and authentic place for our community." ...WACKY THEORIES' Sawkins said: ...People will think of different ways to work around this so that their posts don't get banned. Or they'll use slightly different terminology to refer to what they're trying to say.... A 2019 Department of Homeland Security unclassified paper revealed that domestic violent extremists appeared to ...exploit... TikTok. Findings revealed that users shared videos promoting violence prior to the Capitol insurrection, and law enforcement reporting revealed that some TikTokers apparently shared videos where they discussed how to "sabotage" rail tracks. The shooting of Blake sparked a wave of protests against systemic racism and police brutality. Rittenhouse was among armed militias patrolling the streets of Wisconsin as Kenosha descended into chaos. He argued that he fired in self-defense, as he pleaded not guilty to criminal charges including first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree intentional homicide. Sawkins said: ...Militias see themselves as the true American patriot who are fighting for this constitution in a world that they think has been co-opted by anyone who doesn't stand with them.... The expert fears that tensions could escalate irrespective of the Rittenhouse verdict, potentially edging towards a civil war. Sawkins said: "It's going to be very telling – whether it's guilty or not guilty. There is going to be some kickback and I think we have to monitor that situation closely." She called for the FBI and Homeland Security agencies to "adapt their tactics" as they try to tackle the threat. Militias have "misinterpreted" the Second Amendment – the right to bear arms, the expert claimed. She said: "It was written at a time when we were talking about completely different weaponry back then. "The right to bear arms today is so much worse than it was when that amendment was being written." Racially-motivated extremists posed the more lethal domestic terrorism threat, according to a National Intelligence report published earlier this year.

ABC 20/20Jennifer and her sister, Jordan Turpin, shared their story for the first time with ABC's Diane Sawyer '/ ' She told Sawyer she did run away once but was so worried about her siblings she returned only a day later. In the leadup to gaining their freedom, Turpin said her parents started chaining her siblings to the bed, sometimes for months on end. It wasn't until Jordan was nearly choked to death that the possibility of escape started to take form. Turpin said her sister planned over two years, taking photos of their abuse to plan her escape, to call for help. Turpin said she told her sister everything she knew, and when their parents announced they would be moving to Oklahoma, the sisters knew it was now or never. Jordan escaped and called 911, within two hours the police showed up with body cameras and took away their parents, David and Louise, in handcuffs. What else did Jeniffer Turpin say? In the exclusive interview Jeniffer also revealed that her evil parents would quote the Bible to justify the frequent beatings. "They loved to point out things in Deuteronomy, saying that, 'We have the right to do this to you.' … that they had the right to even kill us if we didn't listen," she said. Dad David Turpin used belts and sticks to whip the children. Jennifer recalled one moment when she said her father picked her up, feet off the floor, and slammed her into a wall. "I knew he 'was ' saying that I was the devil," she said. "I'm just looking at him like, 'what did I do?'" Mom Louise Turpin also racked up huge credit card debt and hoarded children's clothes, games, and toys which she would never give to the children. While their parents binged on fast food, and taunted them with freshly baked pumpkin pies which they were forbidden to touch, Jennifer says the children ate once a day \- getting a peanut butter sandwich, a frozen burrito or chips. When Jennifer was 18, parents David and Louise made 10 of the children move into a trailer in a remote part of their property, taking only their youngest two before driving away. They brought limited groceries once a week, or sometimes every two weeks, leaving the children starving. "I would try to stretch it out and make sure that we at least had stuff to eat each day of the week," Jennifer said. Jordan, who was just six, added: "There was a lot of starving. I would have to figure out how to eat. I would either eat ketchup or mustard or ice." We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The US Sun team?

PAThe green nylon bag was found in one of three sites of interest '/ ' Cops now believe an old hessian bag found buried in William's late foster grandmother's home could provide a clue to the boy's whereabouts. Cops unearthed the green nylon bag this week while searching one of three new locations and said it could take months to find his remains. The vital piece of evidence was discovered near a tree trunk which was marked as a point of interest by anthropologist Dr Penny McArdle. It's the sixth clue police have found since raiding the property on Monday. A police spokesman said investigators are removing 15-30cms of dirt ...over the entire one kilometre square dig site... and remain confident William's body ...will be in there.... The spokesman added: ...Between half a foot and a foot down and once they get down through the top soil into the orangey clay they know that's well into seven years down. ...They are scraping back seven years of dirt.... It comes as cops uncovered two pieces of fabric earlier in a creek-bed near the property. According to the Daily Mail, one piece was a blue-coloured strip of fabric around 8cm X 8cm. A NEW SUSPECT Cops have been scouring the New South Wales property for new clues weeks after revealing they had a new suspect in the long-running mystery. Detective Chief Inspector David Laidlaw said further information had come to light after a review of materials gathered by investigators since William's disappearance seven years ago. He said: "As our team continue to conduct inquiries and explore all avenues of investigation, our focus has been identifying if anything has been missed, or if there are any details – no matter how small – that need to be clarified. "Police remain committed to finding out what happened to William, but our most important job here is to bring him home for both families." William was just three years old when he vanished while playing with his sister on September 12, 2014. He was in the care of foster parents who took him on a visit to the coastal town of Kendall, New South Wales, on the day he disappeared. His parents went inside to make a cup of tea while William and his sister played hide and seek outside. When they returned five minutes later the toddler had vanished. William's biological grandmother \- who has not been named \- told local news the investigation has been ...shambolic.... She said: ...The foster care people, they knew everything and we knew nothing. ...We were just having a little picnic \- out jumps the foster care mother… and starts giving the kids lollipops and Kinder Surprises. ...So she was just like watching what's going on. ...My son used to always say he was too scared to love his kids… he was too scared to love them for an hour of supervised visits. ...He's not alive. I knew he wasn't alive for the last seven years. So, I'm just scared.... Police said William's foster parents are persons of interest and are offering a £538,000 reward for new information.
