Kenosha Riot Live Thread

Posted on 08/24/2020 8:44:50 PM PDT by Mount Athos

After only a couple hours rioters have set multiple buildings on fire, looting and methodically smashing windows on one building after another.

Camera crews and national guard are standing in place on the courthouse block, but the vast bulk of rioting is elsewhere.

There are several reports of shooting, and I've seen heavily armed private security at a still operating gas station shown. (look like regular civilians not pro)

Sorry to hear you have a relative there. They shouldn’t be there if they’re not going to be allowed to act.

Gotta turn in, too late for me.

There are Trump 2020 flags, yard signs plus homemade yuge Trump signs everywhere here in Wisconsin.

These are multiplying day by day.

Now the horrific Gov. Evers comes out with gasoline to pour on that Kenosha disaster. The man was resisting arrest. Ran from police when they tried to arrest him due to an open warrant.

May the dear Lord watch over and bless this, the best country in the world.

Yea having National Guard doesn’t mean shit if they’re not authorized to actually DO anything. In nearby Louisville KY we had National Guard presence and a “curfew” for a whole flippin WEEK. Didn’t accomplish a damn thing as the curfew apparently didn’t apply to the protesters plus there was a shootout between a group of ppl at a West End (read: ghetto) business and the Guard, black business owner died in the crossfire so it just spun up the protesters all that much more. Rumors are flying that there is to be a massive protest all over Louisville today (Tues the 25th) but according to our idiot Dem city mayor, ‘These protesters are largely peaceful, but if anything happens, we’ll be ready’ and ‘Public safety is our #1 priority’

Based on what others here are saying the Guard is only there to be targets. It’s wrong and Gov. Evers should pay the price if any of them are hurt.

“Antifa torched a Church and a drug/mental crisis public health center.”

I hope there’s film footage of that. I’d love to see a TV showing both buildings going up and a voice intoning in the background...”Here is how allies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris like to protest. A church and a mental health crisis center burned to the ground by supporters of Joe Biden - and only silence from the Biden campaign”

CNN reporting that the Church was still having services and could have been a source for COVID so they burnt it down for public safety. /s

The Nat. Guard is there. It’s not clear that they’ve been authorized to do anything.


Looks like they are standing guard at city buildings is all. I assume the idea is to free up more local police to deal with the chaos

One of the protestors is complaining that the police are using teargas on the arsonists.
