Heavily armed civilians have been filmed protecting businesses in Kenosha after arsonists set buildings alight, torching much of the black business district Monday.
In footage taken by a local reporter, a small group of men can be seen carrying rifles and wearing combat gear as they protect local shops. They deny they are part of a militia.

Yep.
There’s no way this can be coincidence (I’m sure some Democrats are saying just that).

It will take about two shakes of a sheep’s tail before it happens. The rioters are probably hopper up on dope and are not in their right minds anyway.

The Twilight Zone episodes were more believable than whats going on in this country today.
How can the so called mayors and governors not protect their cities? Don't they care about their infrastructure?

BTW, those men don’t really look that heavily armed.
I expected more weapons and ammo for *heavily armed*. They looked like they were decked out for just a hunting trip, not some kind of military operation.

Ammo resupply provided upon request for those defenders if they need to replacement ammo... Only request a Autographed Picture of your BLM Trophy and an empty shell case.... /Sarcasm Off

This will do more to create more Republican voters than anything else.

Mostly the kind that has problems formulating realistic plans for tomorrow. Literally tomorrow.
Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of those.
Also, there seem to be a sizable contingent of black-clad white AntiFa doing a lot of this, so it’s not all citizens of a particular area.

I don’t know about Kenosha specifically, but a lot of those more liberal enclaves up north use FMJ/ball ammo because expanding hollowpoints are scary and too dangerous. Modern 9mm FMJ has a nasty habit of making a 9mm hole through and through and not transferring kinetic energy to body structures as is needed for effective takedowns.

I agree. Those memes are for lurkers to email to their friends who are fed up with the destruction of America by Democrats

Basically, handguns suck at killing people. Ive seen too many videos of criminals continuing to fight for 60-90 seconds even after taking many 9 mm rounds - barring a good face or upper thoracic cavity shot. It usually takes a carbine to end resistance immediately.

The local Democrat governments in Wisconsin are a disgrace. The citizens are paying state and local taxes and have to depend on a militia for protection? A disgrace! Shameful!

Black people in black neighborhoods destroy their black businesses and its whiteys fault.I see as many white people taking part in the mayhem as blacks, sometimes more. The difference is they dont live there. When the day is done, they go home to the suburbs where the grocery stores havent been burned down and virtue signal on Twitter how down they are with the struggle.
