Story from the New York Post

(Link) The gun battle that killed two and injured another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was sparked by rioters who confronted heavily armed civilians trying to protect a car dealership, according to a series of graphic videos.

"Kenosha police confirmed early Wednesday that two people died during the shootings, with one hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. One had been shot in the head and another in the head, officials had said. They were still determining the victims’ names and ages as well as where they were from, they said.

Authorities told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that they were still looking for a man with a long rifle.

“I feel very confident we’ll have him in a very short time,” Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the paper.

Investigators said they had seen the dramatic videos on social media and called for more to be sent."

Violently call for the police to be disbanded.

Then the police investigate and prosecute the people that tried to stop you on your behalf.

True privilege

What a country we live in.

Looters get shot. Apparently we need to work this into the Civics curriculum in public high schools, such as they are (complete and utter failures).

From what I have seen of these riots so far, none of the members of these mobs break into triple digits on the IQ scale.

“I think the ANTIFA network took over and the Blacks we do see are sort of freelancers.”

I think you are right. I would guess that most of the Antifa in operating in Kenosha are based in Chicago. I will be keeping an eye on what happens in Portland tonight now that things have escalated to the point of shooting. It is a 30 hour drive from Portland to Kenosha. If things are quiet in Portland, then you will know they are on the road. Tomorrow night, coinciding with the finale of the RNC, could prove to be pivotal.

Unless the brain shot stopped his heart. It happens.

“..The mob has an infrastructure of medical support. That’s very bad news for America....”
Yep. We can thank the soros/slim/obama shadow government for that.
Also, lets not to forget to “thank” our local democrats in the voting booth in November.

Thug chasing dude with gun
Thug throws something at dude.
Dude turns and fires warning shot, and continues running.
Thug stops, briefly, and continues chase
Dude (???) fires three (??) shots.
Thug is laid out

Looked like self defence and running for your life

......”The business owners are suffering because of a bunch of cops”......

That tune doesn’t play anywhere in my book.

It’s not cops I’m seeing setting fires, destroying proprty and looting.

Yes that’s the heart of the matter people are taxed for the purpose of protecting life and property at the minimum.
If these crooks were not Immune from lawsuits this would change things overnight!
Remove Immunity for elected officials should be the battle cry

*** “I feel very confident we’ll have him in a very short time,” Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the paper. ***

Pretty sure the guy defending himself (after having a molotov cocktail thrown at him!) was calling 911 right after the shooting and calling for help. Hopefully by “having him” the Sheriff means they will have him available for the keys to the city ceremony.

Nah....only part of the story...go back a paragraph ...

Dude guarding gas station sees thugs destroying property
Dude runs across lot shoots guy in head
Dude hoovers nervously by vicitm as another guy assists victim
Dude scared uses cell phones then runs across lot at lightening speed
Dude is identified as shooter running away to group of guys
Guys/thugs persue to catch the running shooter

.....only then does your story continue.

The shooter was running away from a guy with a lit molotov cocktail. The guy throws the molotov cocktail. The guy shoots once and the guy keeps advancing.

Shooter continues shooting and stops the threat.

Fear no doubt is pushing the guy running......could be a double fear...Fear after he saw he shot the first guy in the head, as he was plenty anxious pacing while making his call. Perhaps more fear as someone told him to get out of there....even more fear when seeing he was being chased by thugs.

at any rate this is determined it happened....guys gonna have hands full defending himself with 3 guys down. Gonna get complicated as well....Attoneys will make certain of that...the longer they play the more pay.

About half-way into this short clip you can see the protestor throwing the molotov cocktail at the armed guy that is fleeing.

Other videos show an armed guy fleeing the mob. I’m not sure if it is the same guy that shot the molotov guy, or another armed guy that was trying to provide aid.

The guy that helped the molotov guy is a reporter for the Daily Caller. I’m guessing he has close up video of the events.
