Kenosha Shootings: Two Killed and One Injured in Chaotic Night

KENOSHA, Wis. — Three people were shot early Wednesday, two fatally, law enforcement officials said, during a chaotic night of demonstrations over the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black resident whose children were nearby as their father was shot this week by a white police officer.

* * *

Many protesters left the area, but others lingered and walked to a gas station several blocks away. There, a group of men with guns stood outside, promising to protect the property and verbally sparring with the arriving protesters. As the night stretched on, the gas station became a tense gathering spot, with bystanders watching from parked cars and people milling around in the street, arguing and occasionally shoving each other.

* * * After midnight, shots were fired outside the gas station. Three people were struck, Sheriff David Beth said in an interview. The Kenosha Police Department said in a statement that there were two fatalities, and that one person had been taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

the murderer went to another state on the
directions of the New York Times and G.Soros.

THEY are accomplices before the fact.

Lessons to learn: in a chaotic city riot environment, STAY AWAY from “watering holes” like gas stations. Stay away from crowds, period, as the late Ol’ Remus of the Woodpile Report used to regularly remind us.

Then the shootings were simply “counter-protests.”

If I recall correctly, there were postings here on Free Republic just after the shootings last night that had accounts of one of the armed men (defending the property) as fleeing, being pursued, falling down, being swarmed, and shooting at least one man in the head at very close range, then fleeing again, etc. Interesting that none of these details are in the MSM reports today. Hmmm...

In other words, the shooter(s) appear to be locals.

Other Freepers at the time commented that they felt the shootings would pass legal evaluation as justified.

Since it’s weird Wisconsin, who knows?

Got a feeling, anti-riot and curfew enforcement will be pretty vigorous this evening. Also expect the “peaceful demonstrators” to show up with guns and use them. Dodge City days.

Black Tourniquets Matter.

Note that the "paramedic" shot in the arm is still holding his pistol.

Antifa/BLM commie scum terrorists are advised to wear bogus "press" and "medic" gear.

The Left’s description of “innocent victim”.... good grief.

There are going to be MORE armed patriots and MORE armed rioters.

And this time, the armed patriots will be better organized to deal with an organized terrorist threat. If I lived nearby, I’d volunteer to assist the patriots in any way I could.

Yes stay away if you want the criminal gangs to run your town.

Otherwise show up. There may be blood. The alternative is to have a violent communist takeover of our country, ultimately.
