Failed NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick recently labeled the rioters and looters who were responsible for millions of dollars in damages as “freedom fighters” as he announced that he would be starting a fund to pay for the bail of these violent criminals.
âIn fighting for liberation thereâs always retaliation,â Kaepernick said in a tweet on Friday. âWe must protect our Freedom Fighters. We started a legal defense initiative to give legal representation to Freedom Fighters in Minneapolis paid for by [Your Rights Camp].”

Just one day earlier, Kaepernick cheered on the riots as he called for the end of “civility” and encouraged his followers to “fight back.”
âWhen civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction,â he said. âThe cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance.We have the right to fight back! Rest in Power George Floyd.â
