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.

No bias from the Daily Mail. Just straight up reporting of facts.

Pretty well kitted-out by the looks of it.

Yes, the world is getting ready for the Tribulation.

Satan is very busy these days. The Democrats are doing all they can to help him.

Did the cop shoot him because the right hand, with the knife, was reaching into the car, toward one of the children?

That won't be revealed until a couple of months of Rioting, Looting and Murder has gone on.

#6. Yes, re “they are dispensable pawns”, aka “”Cannon fodder for the Communists” (W.E. B. Dubois’ warning in the 1930’s to fellow black citizens about being used as street warriors for CPUSA protests and as martyrs for the reds.

The exact quote is found in the FOIA on Line Library of the FBI’s electronic library, possibly in part 33 or 34. This was long before he became a Communist Party member/dupe in the 50’s/60’s due to his CPUSA wife’s manipulation of his slowly deteriorating mind.

I appreciate that we have had recent wars, with soldiers being trained, deployed, and fighting terrorists in war zones and now HERE.

Are they heavily armed or lightly armed?

"Watch how quick shooting a rioter lands the shooter in jail. Probably make it a hate crime too."

Unfortunately, that's correct.

Are these guys really ready to start shooting a would be looter/vandal should they rush at them while OUTSIDE the store and BEFORE any crime is committed?

The way things are right now, that would undoubtedly get them (the "good guys") arrested on murder/attempted murder charges. Ready to spend 20 to life behind bars?

The only way it makes sense to make such a stand is to be standing INSIDE the place of business. That way, if someone does break in, and you shoot them INSIDE the place of business in the act, a self defense plea is much more likely to work.

Now, of course, you run the risk of the place being fire bombed with you inside. Which is why you also need an exit plan or two (several fire extinguishers, a secondary exit, etc.) IF your willing to step out on that ledge.

No, he’s not dead. Reported ‘paralyzed’ today, ‘but may recover.’

#43. Looking at these satanic symbols and the Democrat Party’s symbol, all I can say is “What the Hell”?

The puppeteers in the background want some bloodshed. Any amount to start the avalanche rolling. It is a delicate balance for them: they want to entice Trump to send in troops and snooker some useful idiots into getting killed, but they need to prime the pump with some initial bloodshed.

Events such as these show why our founding fathers of this great nation clearly identified that the government has no right to infringe on our inalienable right to keep and bear arms. Forget any unconstitutional decree passed since then, this called for belt-fed, crew-served weapons and claymore mines.

Was he wearing a bullet-proof jacket? I thought he took eight or so rounds? Usually, police service weapons aren’t too wimpy.

Blake has 6 children, 3 with one woman, all of whom were in the car. Hopefully he can’t breed anymore.
