At the time of shooting street thugs were destroying cars w/ metal bats, hammers,

and boulders...openly rioting and vandlizing the parking lot cars at the gas station.

This woman was destroying a Mercedes on the car lot using a hammer

Since the police there are either unwilling (because of orders) or unable (because of being overwhelmed) to protect the citizens of Kenosha, the people have decided to exercise their Constitutionally-protected right to defense of self and property. This is, sadly, a preview of what is to come, given that Democrat mayors and governors have emboldened the Antifa and BLM revolutionaries (NOT protestors, not by any reasonable definition of that word). One thought for those Democrats and others favoring defunding of the police, a thought put into action last night:

5.56 does when it is fired out of a fully-semiautomatic AR-14 and makes grapefruit-sized holes. Frankly, I’m surprised the looter wasn’t disintegrated.

They attacked him first. Clear self-defense case.

Its way past time to fight back.

If the law is not protecting everyone, then it protects NO ONE, and its up to every person to look to their own defense.

IMagine if these f*ing assholes ran into a wall of lead everytime they showed up to burn and loot.

It would stop pretty quickly.

"They wanted no cops. This is what they get."

"This is inevitably how it will end. Stop and consider that there are likely 99 people who are sick and tired of the riots for every rioter.

Among the 99 are a few who are seriously pissed off and ready to act.

It is beginning....."

-----------------------------

Exactly. In addition to the thought below, consider that civilians defending themselves do not have the same rules of engagement as the police.

I do...”If they mean to have a war... let it begin here.”

Judging by some of those videos, one of them is going to be called “lefty” for a whole new reason.

Dan O’Donnell of WISN-AM has an excellent editorial at the MacIver Institute:
https://www.maciverinstitute.com/2020/08/fanning-the-flames/

“At 10:35 pm on Sunday night, just before Gravity Gaming was looted and five minutes after a widely shared Facebook message indicated that rioting was to begin, Governor Tony Evers put out a statement preemptively justifying and all but encouraging the violence.”

... “Sadly, the city will keep burning and people will keep dying until this Governor actually starts to govern, until he allows local law enforcement and the National Guard to protect the innocent victims whose livelihoods and very lives are being destroyed.”

“I’m only wondering if there was enough armed resistance there tonight got the left to get the message?”


One of 3 things will happen:

1) The police will be out in force and take action against the looters - as they should have done previously. I don’t hold out much hope for this option.

2) There will be plenty of people out there defending their property and their own physical well-being. I think that this will be the case - but see #3.

3) The police will be out there in force - with orders to stop and/or arrest ordinary citizens who are or have defended themselves. Given that the mayor of Kenosha is a Leftist arsehole, I give this particular option the greatest odds of occurring. The real question is whether the police are willing to follow orders of this type, or whether they’ll look the other way.

“What about jury nullification, if it gets that far?”


Now, more than ever, that idea needs to be spread far and wide. All that you need is one person (sometimes 2) on a jury to prevent a conviction, and if this garbage truly spreads nationwide (which it may well do if/when Trump wins on November 3), then you just KNOW that the Leftist mayors and DAs will be throwing normal citizens in jail and charging them with murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, etc.

The people need to protect themselves FROM OUR ELECTED LEADERSHIP - the ballot box clearly hasn’t worked, perhaps the jury box and the cartridge box will.

Sadly it’s nothing new. Remember God damn OJ? He was 10000% guilty and they celebrated his acquittal like it was Christmas morning.

Too bad his Nicole wasn’t black, I’d have liked to see them cheer a sister getting carved up.

“They have not lived up to their oaths of office.

Fire them and if possible, file charges and convict them.”


I would like to see someone actually do that - because then, when the case gets tossed out instantly, the people around the country will understand what has been settled law in this country for a very long time - the police have NO duty to protect you, unless you are specifically in protective custody. That certainly applies to those giving orders to the police (”I was just trying to defuse the situation by not having the police show up, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah”).

When that happens, then people will definitely take matters into their own hands - and this nonsense will stop very quickly.

Just trying to stay within guidelines. We’ve got a few “I can’t look” folks here on FR and that’s ok.

Frankly there’s little I can’t see when it comes to crime or war ..the exception is child abuse which is horrendously difficult to view. One has to prepare their mind and heart and view very very small doses because it’s so hard seeing what people will do to their own children let alone strangers. so I avoid it pretty much.

So after someone was shot, the (unarmed) idiots go and chase him (”We got him! We got him!”) [More shots] - no, you don’t “got him.”

F’ing morons, they deserve what they get.
