Our crisis response team is heading to Kenosha to de-escalate tension at the Jacob Blake Protests 

Anyone reading this regardless of ur politics, right, left ,up or down...hope yall havin a good day

What you’re doing is honestly one of the most important things right now, I hope that you are doing well.

Thanks for making the world more positive

I really hope it all goes well. A lot of wisdom imparted here. God bless you.

You guys are literally... Just so, so incredible. I wish I had your strength and bravery. I don’t know how to help, I’m not even a legal adult yet. But...I want to help as much as I can. I’m just not sure how.

I really would like to have a free hug! What a wise and social man! I am a western European male, and the speach of this young man brought me to tears.

So lucky to have your light shine through all the darkness. ✌️❤️🇺🇸💪

Actually the guy that was 'shot in the head' wasn't the reason he was hospitalized.. he was actually shot in the groin area by someone else.. they attacked Kyle when he was trying to put of a drum poster fire which incited the anger towards Kyle. What we are doing is jumping to conclusion.. just like everything else.. all lives matter.. what about all the kids and people died since the father days shootings, and constant shootings happening everyday within the black community? We can't just choose who's death is more important.. we aren't solving the issue.. and thats why this is spiraling out of control.. so you can't even blame people who feel they now need to get out and defend. Right or wrong.. just like hte rioters.. they don't have the right to loot or burn down or attack people. What about the man that was kicked in the face trying to save the trans lady? What about the 70 year old what th was knocked out in Kenosha for defending his business.. which they burnt to a cinder?

This project makes me happy!

We don't know man, it's a terrible situation but we can't say it was excessive until we find out what happened. Love the work you're doing

Be careful king... I'm from Milwaukee

Thank you for speaking up and protecting your community. I appreciate your ability to take time before you make judgments. You have literally saved so many lives. The footage in DC at the inauguration was unreal, I don’t think those drivers would have gotten away safely without you.

Love your work. But Rittenhouse was cleaning in Kenosha all day, heard of a business in distress and got their weapons. They were called into protect their businesses. The first victim of kyles was trying to sneak up and grab his gun.

Just discovered your channel - May day protests in LA '17 - Brilliant! Positive! All the best for the future.

You are absolutely incredible and you have my full support from France. Be safe and take good care of you

I subscribed! I needed some sanity in this chaos. A voice of reason and love is want this country really needs right now. The country is being torn apart. Thank you for sewing it back together.

You are a warrior for peace and unity and I appreciate you!! ❤️

Love you love what your doing. You are an amazing person! Keep Spreading Love! The World Needs It! Free Hugs For President 2024!!

Very well done my friend, you are spreading peace around in and beyond your community

You should definitely have an interview with some law enforcement would be very interesting

dude your content is very powerful. keep it up you have a good mindset we need more people like you.

in order to understand a situation its important to see all the evidence, including footage. Its hard to watch sometimes but necessary for truth. Spreading truth but in a loving way is key so definitely agree making things go viral can have opposite effects. Those who want to watch them can find them w/o them being all over news feeds. Keep spreading the hugs✌❤

The only thing that conquers hate is love. All the best to you and your mission, my friend. Stay safe.

Don't care what "side" your on because I don't take sides. I just love you for being you. What you are doing is what the world needs. I was going to say a higher power but I don't want to offend anyone. You have earned my respect by being a wonderful man!!!

I am happy to see you

Good for you. You're doing really great work. Please never stop...

So glad you are back... You need to post weekly and bring peace 🙏

You're amazing... Don't let the negativity get you down. Keep on keeping on. You do good things that most can't and won't do.

When comes him be shot in back man had weapons he was desperate if I was cop in my mind this man desperate he's fighting he obviously not thinking rite than I see he's about jump in car to either take 3 kids on high speed chase or maybe even grab one of them useing them as hostage. It's either him or the kids he has be put down sorry!

Dude be safe. It is rough out there

I do feel that you’re leaving many facts and important details out of cases like Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks and now Jacob Blake. Mostly details in regards to those people being criminals and committing criminal actions which lead them to being in these unfortunate situations .... However, I do like your message of peace and unity, your heart is in the right place. Best of luck, I hope you continue to spread positivity, but also take care of your self and your mental health, this negativity does weigh heavy. God bless.

The things aboht kyle rittenhouse: you shouldn't be bringing an AR -15 outside on the streets. Its looks very sus. Looks like your looking for trouble But I understand the kid needs to defend himself. Sadly a gun is one of the only ways you can effectively protect yourself from a group or mob of people.

Keep it up your great work brother 👏🏽

Why arent people still not listening to police and nobody telling these people not to resist not to run away

Nicky, I have gotten off of Facebook two years ago three years ago almost and I am been more happier than Ever I'm not on Instagram I'm not on TikTok it is all evil if you ask me we need to just go out and give hugs! I was the older lady sitting in front at College of central Florida I'm just so honored to have listen to you thank you very much have a good day

Dude, you look worn out. I'd love meeting you in person one day. I have different opinions about what happened in Kenosha during the unrest and Kyle. But the way you talk I have even greater respect for you. I see your intentions are pure. Keep on going. I'll be praying for you.

Thank you.. for what your doing, god bless you and your family. Love, empathy, compassion is the answer.

The man he shot in the head threw a molotov cocktail at that 17 year old boy and the reason why they chased that kid because he put out a fire that those rioters lit up to damage property of a small business. The kid did it all in self defense.

Thank you I wish you all the power. If I had to label myself I would say I am a Buddhist and I feel what you are doing is what we all should be doing. Unconditional love and the will to understand each other is the way to bring healing. You can’t beat hate with more hate/fear only love creates order and peace and mutual respect. I feel that all most every one is going about this thing all wrong. Jesus said to his disciples as he was being lynched for give them for they know not what they do. I know our beloved Floyd would say the same thing if he were able to. FREE HUGS I love you brother

Stop breaking the law, comply, respect, hold yourself accountable for your actions and stop memorializing criminals. Use their situations as examples of what not to do. Jacob Blake clearly didn't care about his children because he led the police back to the vehicle knowing they were in there,.knowing he wasn't complying. He is now paralyzed due to his own actions. The injustice is towards our police that put their lives on the line every single day to protect us. Hold criminals accountable for their actions and stop blaming others. That is what we can do for our communities.

Seems like you have a lot more questions than answers. I recommend watching some Officer Tatum channel; warning he’s a conservative Trump supporter. But he has inside information from being a former cop. I’m afraid too many people are getting all there information from mainstream media & social media and they’re not getting the whole story. Please listen with an open mind. I hope you continue trying to spread light and love and don’t let this darkness take hold. 🙏🏻❤️

How can I join this campaign? I really want to come keep the peace... we really need to get som civil discourse going right now. We cannot stand idly by and allow the loudest most violent minority eliminate dialogue between the silent majority that want to figure out real solutions.

I think you should teach these people personal responsibility and not rush towards your car with a knife when your children are in that car. His children are scarred for life because he didn't listen to the cops. only if he listened

I really don’t know who this Free Hugs dude is, he seems really nice. If you see this Mr Free Hugs, you should check out The Officer Tatum, he’s a black man who was a cop. I like how he can break down the entire situation of certain shootings. I would love to see y’all talk to each other about the hard moments of life.

Yo wassupppp love the contenttt

rittenhouse _appears to have been_ viciously attacked. let's not pass judgement on him or his apparent attackers prematurely.

Love your free hugs message. Love is the answer to hate. You need to look at from the other side. A criminal at his victims house armed with a knife, resistancing arrest. What should the police do to protect Innocent children in the car? And a young man defending himself from rioters. Would you be ask the questions the other way if he would have been killed? Why where the people he shot there? Why were they attacking a 17year old young man who was clearly defending himself? I agree that human life is worth infinitely more that property that can be replaced. Rioters don't have the right to destroy a city. What do you do when the government can't protect you and community?

Suprised you haven’t seen Blake’s full video. Cops shot two taser guns but the guy has no impact, when the cop felt threatened shot 7 times because the cop doesn’t know if the guy is invincible or why the taser has no impact. I heard different story about Kyle- he didn’t fire the first shot, he was being threatened so he fired on his self defense. But surprisingly a 17 year white kid is charged as an adult, if he would have been a black kid then he would have been either released on bail or sent to juvenile court. Isn’t the justice system become racist to white people? Why the rules are different for a white kid.

soft-spoken man. if i ever have a daughter, i wish her a man just like this.

It's a good thing to talk about this but the fact is that if a person is in possession of a weapon the police have the right to protect themselves by going lethal or not.

I love your project and everything, but are you sure it’s a good idea to hug everyone in the middle of a pandemic?

Free hugs during covid A big no no But iam sad of this news

#Unity2020 #ArticlesOfUnity

Can not go on looks go on facts because if he was going for a knife as they say 7 shots might be fair if that what took to stop him. Let remember facts matter and if police tell you to stop do as your told then you don’t get shot.

As long as black people don't resist arrest listen to me the key word is don't resist arrest none of this will be happening right now we would be out at parks at the beach having a barbecue with everybody but you guys think that we owe you guys something or the police and you hate the police and you have attitudes when they pull you over what's up with the attitude just do what the cops say what's the big deal if they treat you wrong take you to court... every UT saying that you guys are tired of this not one time I heard you say if you guys would stop resisting arrest none of this what happened you did not say that one time every single shooting is because you guys resist arrest

No entiendo tu idioma pero veo los vídeo y creo que quieres decir alto a la violencia racismo. Etc felicidades y cuídate bendiciones

You such a positive person brother, and a very lovely project going on here, I hope you would bump into the Lord Jesus Christ, whom will help you the more. I hope the best for you

Yay 😀😇😇😇😇

Go watch donut operators video about the shooting Kyle was shot at first and had a molitof cocktail thrown at him by the first man and even after he had shot the other two and was walking away more shot rang out not from kyles rifle I’m not saying what he did was right but I want to make sure the hole truth is out there

I agree the cop was too excessive too many shots fired. But like you said their were kids in the back why would jacob Blake start acting up when he has kids in the back so dumb

But you are rite about had no buisness being there at all if stayed home he should never left home and that should be on the parents that gun should been locked up and not unsupervised with it. No one should have gun on street walking around unless heading hunting or range. Guns for recreation and home protection.

I don't condone ANY killing and I know, sometimes, it's hard to watch but we have to be informed BEFORE forming any judgments... "the TRUTH will set you free"! To clarify, the kid (Kyle) shot the first man also in self defense. Watch this vid in slow mo. In min 4:16 - 4:20 you can see the man charging at him! He acted in self defense since the beginning. Then he ran towards the other side of the street, where the cops were. That's when (the 2nd vid shows) he's being attacked and, again, firing to defend himself. One of these men pulled his gun on him... Even after this (if you watch the entire video) he still ran towards the cops... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b2ohNenpz0Y.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EZTDkjU-X5M.html And let's not also forget (because NOBODY wants to remember) that there were BLM members at the burnt Wendy's in Georgia (also acting as vigilantes with ARs) who killed THE LITTLE GIRL sitting in the back of her mother's car as she drove by! KEEP YOUR POSITIVE MESSAGE, WE LOVE YOU TOO! But try not to "cover the sky with one hand... Ignorance is not always bliss" Peace!

So what I'm hearing is, you should be able to walk away from the cops during an arrest when you have a warrant and are violating a restraining order, access the inside of your vehicle, and drive off, and let a mob of mostly criminals have your gun. Got it.

Dude, I love what you are about and what you are doing. I came across your profile today and have been watching all of your videos since I came across it! I think it is really cool what you are doing! I do hope that as the facts of the police shooting of Jacob Blake have continued to come out, we can agree that the officer was justified in his decision to shoot, but the amount of shots can be questioned. 7 does seem excesive, but the decision to fire was justified. I also think that it is hard to say that Kyle had no reason to be in the streets when many of the riotors have no right to ruin people's lives by destroying businesses. It isn't about the property, it is about the people who lose the jobs and businesses when they are burned to the ground. Kyle clearly shot in self-defense in both incidents. Was in smart for him to be there? absolutley not, but just like BLM goes where they see injustice happening, Kyle did the same. He saw the injustice done to the people in the other cities where riots occured, the people who can no longer feed their children, and he wanted to be apart of the solution. Was his approach a good approach? No. I love everything that you are about. The world needs more people like you, who are willing to go out and talk to people and bring people together. Having conversations with people we disagree with is what we need. Keep doing what you are doing man! You are an inspiration to people on both sides!

Saw this video of the man sad I don’t think he should reach his care but the cop could have stop 🛑 him not harse way he could have littly pulled him back but hold him and shoot him 7 times na people always say well cops have a stressful job that true but that does not mean there starderds can be lower

I feel like you will be the one to bridge the gap between republicans, conservative, democrats, and liberals.

He could easily just gave up and not put police or his own kids in that situation he made bad decision

That's because cop's were told to stand down. The cop's Shouldn't never be told to stand down no matter who is rioting and trying to loot businesses. Also that kid was defending himself from being hit in the head from a skateboard. That could cause serious brain damage. He was also acting in self defense in all three cases from what I seen.

First of all if this guy gave a crap about anything he wouldn't have done what he did he should have never resisted arrest for 1 second of all if you love to his kids he wouldn't have resisted arrest this guy doesn't give a crap about anyone but himself so will you guys to put this guy on a pedestal is b******* if he cooperated with the cops none of this would be going on right now

If Dems and Black lives matter would take racism of the table with the cop shootings they gain more ground on the police abuse matter and quit pushing racism card. It's about training and things like that all it is

HELP ME UNDERSTAND: Majority of Americans want to support African Americans and police reform but we can’t stand behind BLM organization that wants to discredit/take away fathers, nuclear family, God and police. If this is successful then any enemy can take over our states & country, like communist China or give government full power. We want to support but we need other options on ways to help. Should we just give money to inner cities programs and call fed gov and state officials.

don't shoot the free hug guy, where did I pick up a subscription to a free hugs guy anyway?

Free hug man, I really wish you would have kept your content to what you were doing 3~4 years ago. I cried watching the good you were doing hugging cops. However, this video really deserves a thumbs down because of the lack of research and politics that have gone into what you state. Kyle W. a school shooter? Come on, really? You are better than that. As commented by several folks already, anyone has a right to counter protest peacefully, protect life and livelihood especially in the face of such hate and violence shown by the "protesters" that fateful night in Kenosha. Please stick to the hugs! Good luck and be safe in Kenosha.

Regarding the Jacob Blake police shooting, I personally think it was justified. If you live a life of crime - Jacob Blake had a pretty large criminal record from violence (with a weapon) to other smaller charges. Police officers knew that, so of course they will go into that job with caution, right.. because they want to go home at the end of the day. Did those officers need to shoot him 7 times, I don't know. I have no experience with shooting a gun or if trying to shoot someone in the leg is easy or not, but I can imagine it would be quite difficult. Couldn't the officers tackle him down to the ground, possibly. There's no guarantee that would have worked, and again those officers want to go home to their families, trying to take someone down to the ground and handcuff them isn't easy if that person is resisted. I could show you a few videos on RU-vid, where officers have tried to prevent a suspect from going to their vehicle to retrieve a weapon and in one of those videos, it didn't end well for the officers. Again, this man had a violent weapon charge, so when he walked away resisting arrest, alarm bells would be ringing for those police officers. This isn't a video game or a movie, there are rarely any second chances or respawns. The whole talk about US police using de-escalation tactics, instead of going straight for the deadly force option sounds good on paper, but again I could show you videos of officers pulling over cars, talking to the suspects in a friendly way, trying to deescalate the situation and having weapons pulled on them. What happened to Jacob Blake isn't right, as no one deserves to die, but that's including police lives as well. So, in my opinion it was justified. edit: I also believe in karma. This person was/is violent. If you're going to go around causing violence and it catches up to you, you have no one to blame, but yourself.

Please keep this type of rhetoric going. Violence begets violence. MLK and Gandhi preached none violent protests. Think about the ripple effect. What reaction will you action have. As painful as it would be for many .... STRIKE. As the say goes, Follow the money. EVERY PERSON WITH ONE DOLLAR HAS THE POWER. Stop giving money to those that DoNot STAND UP. Showup to Backup. Stop your young men and women from getting caught up in the mass frenzy, it only makes you all look like thugs. 🙏🏼

Dude, I absolutely love your sentiment and the message you are trying to send out but PLEASE don’t get sucked into this victim narrative. No one deserves to be shot in the back seven times in front of their kids, I couldn’t agree more, but please do a bit more research on the incident than wholesale believing what the race-baiting media are telling you. (Remember, they’re making vast sums of money in advertising revenue whilst disseminating this cynical crap). Jacob Blake was shot in front of his children because HE chose to bring them along to a violent confrontation. He was armed with a knife and in the process of attacking a woman, taking her keys from her when the police arrived on scene. He had an open arrest warrant for: -Criminal trespass, domestic abuse a Class A misdemeanor -Third Degree Sexual assault, Domestic Abuse a Class G Felony -Disorderly Conduct, Domestic Abuse, a Class B Misdemeanor He resisted arrest, was tazed then assaulted a police officer before breaking free and walking to his car. It is crystal clear in the footage of the incident that he did not attempt to get into the driver seat, he was leaning into the footwell of the car. Now, was the police officer supposed to stand back and wait to see what this WANTED CRIMINAL was retrieving from the car? I’m guessing he wasn’t grabbing for a bouquet of flowers to present to the cop. Was the officer supposed to let him have a “free shot” at him before retaliating if he had a firearm in his car? Remember, the cop does not enjoy benefit of hindsight when placed in such a dynamic situation. All Mr Blake needed to do was comply with the lawful orders of the officers and, although he would be in jail, he would still have full use of his legs and his children would not have experienced such horror. The big deal made of the “SEVEN SHOTS”, “why did they have to shoot him seven times?”. Firstly; if he had complied with commands, the officer would have fired zero shots. Secondly; EXACTLY the same would have happened if he had been WHITE. Lastly; cops are trained to shoot to eliminate a threat. They shoot until the subject no longer poses a threat. If this was a malicious shoot, the cop was close enough to put one in the back of his head. As it was, he fired until he could either see both of Blake’s hands or could be sure he was no longer able to pose a threat. This was in no conceivable way a targeted attack by the police on an “innocent black man” This was a stupid, arrogant FELON, bolstered up by recent anti-police, “police are murdering innocent black men” rhetoric peddled by dangerous, manipulative media, who took a dangerous gamble and lost. A very sad story and outcome, especially for the children, but there is only one person to blame here. Jacob Blake. As for 17 year olds running around the streets armed with assault rifles. That’s just batshit crazy. God bless America 🇺🇸

Well you need to talk to a veteran cop it can’t be your friend I’m serious. Donut operator another RU-vid guy so your welcome. It can’t be your friend. Your father maybe but friend never.

You really need to watch videos, and do your homework on these situations before you give your opinion. A well informed opinion ( even if I disagree with it) is better than an ilinformed opinion. Not trying to be negative, but you reach a lot of people, and have influence. Based on what you're saying, I can tell you haven't gotten all the details, and that sucks.

There is no question about it if shooting 7 times is excessive!!!!!!!!! It is! 1 time would already have been too much. No matter the circumstances!

I want to see this guy at the TRUMP rally 2020. Not some bullshit protest. Let's see how you fair then....

Look man, I respected your videos, I even wished i could do the same thing, but i knew i took a side, now i know you take a side too, i watched your trump rally fights video. I guess it's impossible not to take a side. You lost me.

I agree 17-year-old kids should not be out there with a gun taking matters into their own hands. But that is the result of Democratic governors and mayors not doing anything to protect the law abiding citizens.

Everyone seems to forget that the videos showed he was acting in self-defense. He was chased and targeted. He did not JUST shoot someone in the head. He only tried to make a difference cause how many shop owners were killed just trying to defend their "property"? You seem to skip that point.

Hello I was just meandering around and saw your video about hugging cops at the RNC in 2016. I loved that video it brought joy to with everything that's going on. Then I scrolled your channel and clicked this video, but I'm halfway through and see a few factual inaccuracies. Kyle Rittenhouse 1. You said he was not from that community. He lives in a small town over the border and kenosha is the closest cit, and he actually had a job in kenosha. 2. You said kyle was the one to shoot first that's why the mob chased him. But he was being attacked and something was thrown at him. A shot was fired (reportedly in the air) thats when kyle turned and fired. I only ask that you issue a correction and in the future do more research, and try to put your emotions aside.

The call came in from a victim of a relief from abuse order, AT HER PLACE OF EMPLOYENT. The perp? Jacob. Brandishing a knife, after non compliance, and using stun gun, and not fazing him, he went in car, and the officers had no other choice. he had not a single concern about his children, putting them in a situation as such. Not many, support violence, but bringing violence, you are going to possibly put yourself or others in a life threatening situation... Again, this is not justification, but we are going to lose our officers protection, by expecting them to not protect themselves out here, especially these days of propaganda. The police, even in Briana Taylors case, shot through the door, because her boyfriend in the room with her, shot through the door first... cops try not to shoot. citizens, need to own this violent decision making... It starts in the community. These officers children/family deserve to have their parent come home from work too....

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. He got 7.

Hey man, have you seen the black round table with Bret Weinstein? You should be on the next panel. Your articulate view should be a part of that.

Stay safe and be you, I hope your presence helps. Free Hugs forever. ❤️

I really like your channel. What Kyle did was not right, on the other hand, you cannot say it's peaceful protesting though, burning, destroying and inciting violence is not peaceful. Police departments shouldn't be defunded they should be reeducated. So bringing a gun to a verbal is void and null due to what had already happened.

With ar-15 guy your rite had new buisness out there and he needs be punished for that But he was being attacked when shot first guy he's chased till he couldn't run any further guy was chasing behind him on parking lot he turns and shoots because got cornered. There's tape showing the boy chasing him around the corner

I'm praying for your success, brother

Hug Man I love U... I tell people what you are doing, that I joined your group and I got my tee shirt and I'm so proud of the things u are doing... God bless and be safe.

Amen brother, listen, I don't support every point. But I agree with your response, in this country we have the freedom to express ourselves and our opinions, the only thing holding us down is each other, I love police, and I don't see color, I see a person. I love you brother, and everything you stand for. I agree with you when it comes to de-escalating violence. You have my prayers.

All I want is a hug

God bless you

Hey I'm just letting you know that your tribute to that actors just got claimed by Disney

Unedited and hardly any pauses. Ken, you always know just what to say.

"An eye for an eye and the world goes blind"

Defund the police. But come and save us from the people whos neighborhoods we're burning. He had as much buisness if not more to be there. Than those causing violence.

If you are a good guy with a gun and you are attacked, you are obligated to use it. If you dont, the bad guy will take it from you. The kid probably didn't think someone was actually stupid enough to attack him.
