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.

Did he have a knife? Did three police officers just THINK he had a knife, and shout at him to drop it?
If he didn't have a knife, why didn't he yell "I don't have a knife"?
It looks like a knife in his right hand.
Did the cop shoot him because the right hand, with the knife, was reaching into the car, toward one of the children?
He was dead, when they needed him to be dead. Now he is alive again, but paralyzed, his father says.
Dug a little bit and they are the militia.
Exactly right. They are precisely the well-regulated militia that has an absolute right to keep and bear arms, a right with the highest level of protection of any in the Bill of Rights. "Shall not be infringed" is far stronger and more general than "Congress shall make no law".
Well, they ARE the militia. Duh...
Antifa is clearly a militia, they have uniforms, a command structure, supply lines, and weapons. I call them “insurrectionists”.
‘The Twilight Zone’ episodes were more believable than what’s going on in this country today.
Nope.
And they had the hour long bongo fest in front of the hospital where they issued their “demands.”
Good luck with that.
I guess they didn’t have enough National Guard troops there last night - more are on the way.
My prayers are with THEM, armed citizens and Kenosha LEOs.
I hope all rioters, arsonists and looters get a load of buckshot in the behind!
“In an email, Wisconsin National Guard Capt. Joe Trovato said that the Guard is not ‘the lead agency in this response” and that it is “serving in a support role’ after receiving ‘a request for assistance from civil authorities in Kenosha County.”
“According to Trovato, the Guard’s ‘Citizen Soldiers are assisting local authorities in preserving public safety and the ability of individuals to exercise their First Amendment rights to peacefully demonstrate.’”
Kind of looks like the NG is infected with bleeding hearts, too!
*SPIT*
"...Watch how quick shooting a rioter lands the shooter in jail.
Probably make it a hate crime, too..."
Governor says additional National Guard troops will be in Kenosha tonight
At this point it still has not got to the level of the Detroit riots where a WHOLE BUNCH of people got shot and killed.
That I can not believe and soon will happen.
Already has 3 children, probably on track for another 6 before this incident.
If he can stay out of prison, he could be a rich man. He's got a few cases hanging open, though, including a sexual assault, so it might be the lawyers and the victim getting the big payout from the City of Kenosha.
“...Watch how quick shooting a rioter lands the shooter in jail.
Probably make it a hate crime, too...”
Not the National Guard it’s the idiot Governor Tony Evers
BTW, his store was near the auto dealership that was torched despite having the "Black Lives Matter" sign out front.
We can be sure the word is spreading about rioters avoiding stores protected by well-armed owners.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...
The 2A doesn't say they have to publicly claim militia membership. And they don't need no steekin' badges.
But they are defending the security of a free State.
Glad to see it.
The rioters are ignorant of history. Armed citizens will defend their community...good example is the attempted bank robbery in Northfield, MN by Jesse James. Armed citizens shot and killed and severely wounded some of the robbers and citizens formed an armed posse to apprehend the rest.
