Protesters for the second consecutive night wreaked havoc in Kenosha, Wisconsin — setting fires to buildings and facing off with authorities over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

In defiance of an 8 p.m. curfew, the crowd set ablaze a furniture store, a building that houses the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and cars at a local dealership, according to footage posted to social media.

Shelby Talcott, a reporter for The Daily Caller, posted a video to Twitter of the furniture store fully engulfed in flames

Yesterday, Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by police. His kids watched from the car. Today, we woke to grieve yet again.

We need a full and transparent investigation. https://t.co/9X7l25nq8d— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 24, 2020

So, apparently the cop that did the shooting owns the furniture store.

I understand that cops are going door to door telling people to get out.

I have no opinion on the shooting the other night, I'll wait for more facts.

The rioting is consistent with blm and their communist training and will be coming to a small city or town near you.

Kenosha WI is now being burned but tomorrow it could be Altoona PA or Berkely Springs WV or Winchester VA.

Don't pooh pooh this because back in June I could have gotten 500-1 odds that there would be a communist lead riot in Kenosha WI.

These crazies actually believe that the looting and burning are going to help the demonRATs.

Where is the “displeasure” at the death of Cannon Hinnant?

Even the NY Post isn’t using the right language? These are riots, getting close to insurrection.

I don’t wanna hear jack ever again about Tulsa. Kenosha just replaced it in the history books. Swarming into town from Chicago and Racine and other towns and destroying small mom and pop store in Kenosha is about THE dumbest idiocy that blacks have ever pulled. And don’t tell me it’s all white folk doing it.

You’ve crossed the line from “protesters” to “rioters” if you’ve burned down 3 dozen+ buildings.

Cops can shoot all the Whites they want but don’t dare shoot a Black who’s a threat to your life.

If you go back 100 years or so, we occasionally had situations of “mob justice”. That was when a group of people decided that somebody did something bad, and there was no need to bother with arrests and court proceedings. Just rampage through the streets, and find a way to hurt the people you thought were guilty. That’s what a lynching is.

Look at how BLM reacts when they feel the police have done something bad. We are watching modern lynching. Maybe the media should sell postcards.

The rate at which they can burn is far greater than the rate at which we can build. Destruction usually works that way.

Antifa’s goal is chaos, anarchy, and societal destruction. Any excuse will be used to day to foment riot with subsequent mass destruction. This appears to be the new normal, and social media allows Antifa to do this with military type organization. Everybody has a smart phone today, so they just call in the troops to various locaations and call in where the cops aren’t. It is as easy as that.

Your risk is always going to be greater in a big city or urban area, since Antifa’s troops and supporters are there in greater numbers. But as you said, small towns are not immune. As long as Antifa’s troops can be bussed or mobilized, if you are an hour out of an urban center, they will come and find you when the call goes out.

Kenosha, Wisconsin at 100,000 population is big enough to supply its own battalion of Antifa troops, but then you consider it is just an hour out of Chicago, and Antifa can supply a Division of troops. Just one hour out.

If you are not literally in the sticks, you are vulnerable.

I have no clue how this ends unless from vigilantism. I don’t see right now how the police can put this genii back in the bottle. Not that it matters as long as Democrat mayors demobilize police, but Antifa has found a way to swamp the police and be where they are not through social media. About the only way to stop it is to have a Totalitarian goverment that just shuts down all cell towers within a 4 or 5 hour radius of any police shooting, so that Antifa cannot mobilize its troops.

I am not advocating that of course. I am scratching my head and saying, “How the heck do we get out of this?” without killing them all and letting God sort them out.

Works for me.

I don't want to see it on my street, but if it comes, it comes.

At my age, and with my supply of guns and ammo, I'd just as soon die from a gun fight {where some bad guys are preceding me} as die from old age hiding under my bed.

When I go out, I hope God gives me the strength to send one more round into yet another antifa communist.

But not in outstate Michigan, Ohio, NY, KY, AL, LA, MI, MS, GA and Tennessee. Only rat run urban hipster paradises tolerate this barbarism. When they are all burnt down, it will end.
