Much has been written about surviving riots and civil unrest. But there’s nothing like a firsthand account to bring it to life.
We shared an eye-witness story from a National Guard member who told us about the Seattle riots. Another writer shared her family’s experience during the Ferguson riots. We’ve seen brutal videos on YouTube and social media. The violence in our country is increasing dramatically.
Here’s a first-hand story of the Kenosha riots. And now, a woman has shared on Facebook what her family recently experienced in the Kenosha, Wisconsin riots. In her post, the thing that stands out in my mind the most is that help was not on the way. The residents of Kenosha who stood their ground were completely on their own against the mobs rampaging through their neighborhoods. I’ve redacted some identifying information from her post – otherwise, the public post is exactly as she shared it on the social media outlet. All emphasis is mine.
The day of the worst destruction, fires, looting, assaults… all of us in Kenosha were able to watch live -via independent media. The entire start to finish. The worst of it happened on 22nd & 60th, and I live on [redacted], so to tell you I was terrified is an understatement. The majority of Kenosha was watching our two [redacted] live footage well until 3am… police scanners on… bracing for the worst. It was apparent from the beginning there was no help. No police, no fire trucks no ambulances. None. Structures burned to the ground, people hurt and attacked were loaded into cars and raced to any hospital they could get to, rioters just broke into businesses and took what they wanted.
And we all watched it happen. There was nothing we could do.
A sleepless night, we faced the next day with more fear. A massive clean up effort, we helped as many homes and buisnesses as we could, brace for the night, we started to get inundated with messages from individuals and groups … targeting violence to specific neighborhoods, schools, libraries.. with fires and destruction… lots of messages. Most specifically targeting LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS… families!!!
Cars and buses were coming in to the city with no plates… caravans of groups. Again, no extra police or national guard.
But the rioters came to Kenosha that night again.
Our PD and any help it had was standing ground at the PD building and courthouse… and many rioters did not know… our PD was trying to keep them from burning these down, not only because it was our infrastructure but because right between those buildings were A LOT of local inmates that were currently there due to Covid closing our jail (HUBER).
Again live, we watched hundreds of rioters throwing Molotov cocktails at these buildings and burning our city garbage trucks and dump trucks to the ground that we were using to protect these buildings.
I was afraid for the small line of policemen there that night.
Everyone was urging me and Jim to take all of my animals and to leave the city… and let my house burn. To run far away from Kenosha. I love my home. Those who know me, know the pride we have taken in buying an (as-is) house and turning it into a home. And my business! Could I let it be destroyed?? Absolutely NOT!
We have dear friends with a popular business just 4 houses away… we spend at least once a week there… they packed up boarded up and closed.. terrified … it’s on the main road.
All of us were now under now a state of emergency curfew. Get home and off the streets! gas stations ordered to close and turn OFF all gas pumps.. the sirens and alerts on all of our phones coming in non- stop.
So we pulled out every firearm we owned. Loaded them up. And started to get ready… We were not leaving… Jim’s job told him to stay home and protect his family and home. Everyone in the city was getting ready for a war.
Are you starting to feel anxiety reading this?
Getting a grasp of how desperate we all were?
Knowing no law enforcement was helping? And I’m telling you… NO ONE was there.
I have a dear friend who lives in Gurnee. Has a home and a buisness there, and if she called me and Jim and told me her city was under attack, she was afraid for her LIFE and her store … I would help her. We would go to Gurnee and help her. Armed.
And that’s simply what happened. The residents started to realize this was on us. And we organized. Groups and individuals-On rooftop businesses -in the neighborhoods. I felt a little safer that night knowing we had some help.
So we watched again that night …live. Beginning to end.
At the lakefront… there was a small police presence again, where our courthouse and Pd is…. but the PD was nowhere else in the city. It was just us left to fend for ourselves, watching live feed again, Listening to the scanners … lights off, house alarm armed. Curtains drawn – guns ready as we listened to where the rioters were, which way they were headed. Despite the state of emergency curfew the city was flooded with cars driving around with no plates on, groups of people destroying our city. Not enough police to arrest or stop not ONE SINGLE PERSON.
Until the guard came to help… the entire city was left to its own defenses.
Hell… we ran out of plywood to board up!!!
I had the crates ready to throw the animals in and run… guns at every window and door. Constantly texting neighbors and friends around the city for updates.
When we say, if you don’t live here, you could not possibly know what was going on.. do you now understand? How afraid the whole city was?
The national guard FINALLY was called out – and did not mess around. The people who terrorized and destroyed Kenosha were not from Kenosha. Of all the arrests… most were from 44 other city’s. After our IDIOT governor finally asked, we got the help we should have had from DAY ONE. We had FBI and all the surrounding PD’s come to our aid.
If…you don’t live here… you could not possibly understand what we went thru. People should wait before they jump to conclusions. I just am disgusted beyond words at the judgement that’s happening. DISGUSTED
For those of you with children to protect, a business you put your heart and soul in… a home you struggled to own and pay for.. you have got to understand what we all went thru. The fear and the instinct to protect what you love, and what you worked so hard for is strong. I hope no one ever has to go thru anything like this. (source)
The damage in Kenosha is astounding. Kenosha isn’t a huge city. It has a population of about 100,000 people. Until these riots, it was not considered a dangerous city. But things changed fast.
Here are some photos of the aftermath of the riots. Minus the damage from shells and sniper rifles, looks like a warzone to rival things I saw in Bosnia when I met with Selco and took one of his survival courses.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Pure evil! That is what ANTIFA & BLM are. Demonic & Satanic hatred from the pit of hell.
I’m pinging the End Times Ping list because their works are prophesied about in 2 Timothy 3:13 above in these End Days as Paul wrote.
PM me if you wish to be added/removed.
Pray, Prep, and be Ready. Our Lord is coming soon!

Our idiot Dem Gov
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said Wednesday that he has “no regrets” about how the state responded to protests that broke out in Kenosha following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Blake, who is Black, was shot seven times in the back by white Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey on Aug. 23, sparking three nights of protests and unrest that culminated with the shootings of three demonstrators by an armed civilian.
Evers called out the Wisconsin National Guard early the morning of Aug. 24. The Democratic governor turned down an offer made Aug. 25 from the White House to send federal U.S. Department of Homeland Security troops.
President Donald Trump criticized Evers’ response, urging him to activate the National Guard after he had already done so.
“He made a pitch about, you know, ‘We have to get the National Guard on the ground,’” Evers said. “I said, ‘They already are. We’ve met every request.’”
A day later, after the shootings of three demonstrators, two of whom died, Evers again spoke with Trump and the governor said they agreed to have the White House send other federal assistance, including officers from the FBI and U.S. Marshals. A 17-year-old Trump supporter from Illinois is charged with shooting the demonstrators.
The democrats in power in Kenosha deliberately and intentionally refused to send the police to put down the riots. This action was deliberate and intentional, with full knowledge and awareness, meaning that the democrats in power are fully responsible for the destruction.
This was organized in close collaboration with the democrats in charge.
The goal of the antifa/blm/democrat party is to have the USA in flames up to the election.
biden and the ho's USA.
Like anyone paying attention since May 31 and the first George Floyd riots understands that this was all preplanned and Tifa’s been waiting for the command to cut loose for a long time now they’ve been trying to wrap this up and there are 100% Democrats and this is 100% in democrat lock stock and barrel run enclaves
So all you Democrats out there let’s see if you learned your lesson come November 3 if not we on this conservative side of law and order have no sympathy for you specially you New Yorkers if you really like to Blasio
Prepper ping.
This is what the dems have planned for us should Trump win the election.
I feel it in my bones.
And the Great Tribulation period is going to be far worse.
For all the material prepping we need to be doing, the spiritual prep is by far the most important.
If you have not made your peace with God through Jesus Christ, it’s not a moment to soon to do it NOW.
And there’s next Saturday, the Day of Prayer and Repentance. We believers need to participate in it fully and support it with our prayers.
The Return - NATIONAL AND GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER AND REPENTANCE

Please add me to your ping list.
And after the election, too-No matter what the outcome
“And we all watched it happen. There was nothing we could do.”
You can shoot arsonists. Put on that balaclava, lay down a shocking burst of heavy rifle fire from a hidden position you can escape. Miraculously, cops will arrive in the area a little later if they perceive that rioters might be endangered.
If they knock on your door and ask, just tell them you didn’t see anything.
Wonder what that means?
“The national guard FINALLY was called out – and did not mess around...”
“Lather, rinse, repeat” and the I bet these “protests” would magically become a lot less destructive....
I sadly exchanged dialog with a serious Faux News supporter here a couple weeks ago.
(In my posting history if interested)
The defense was that right before all the news networks were asked to disrespectfully cut away from Trump, and I opined that Faux would lead the charge, I was assured that Hannity, Ingraham and a couple others would be VERY ANGRY if that happened.
Which it did, and no one at Faux News expressed anger.
Rumor has it that Wisconsin is filled with deer hunters.
People riot for one reason and one reason only, because it’s fun.
Make it not fun for them, use deer hunter skills.
Just imagine some jerk is tearing down a tree stand a Wisconsin hunter has used for years. How would THAT go?
Works for me.
Ultimately, someone, somewhere will realize no help is coming and the government (local police/Mayor/FBI/DHS/DOJ/DOD) is on the side of the protesters.
That will leave them with two choices, watch their life’s work get destroyed, or protect it while dodging our government.
Bottom line, history provides no example of a populace armed to the teeth who allowed the enemy to come in and exercise their will freely without a fight.
I hope we aren’t the first.
[[In her post, the thing that stands out in my mind the most is that help was not on the way.]]
No of course not- because police are ORDERED to ONLY show up when someone who isn’t a liberal, antifa or blm defends themselves with force = to the threat
And a kid ended it.
