KENOSHA, Wis. — Protests in Kenosha over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, were mostly peaceful following the arrest of a 17-year-old police admirer accused of killing two people and wounding a third during a chaotic night of demonstrations and unrest.

As of early Thursday, there were no groups patrolling with long guns as there were during previous nights of protests over the Sunday shooting of Blake, who was left paralyzed. Protesters also stayed away from a courthouse that had been the site of standoffs with law enforcement.

I, along with others, have long said that if you kill a few, the rest will behave themselves.

Yea, they ignored it because they knew that the police weren’t going to enforce it.

“mostly peaceful” must be a phrase that came from a DNC memo faxed to their stooges in the media.

There are a few young girls who probably got their first night of peaceful sleep in a long time. The bald guy who got shot in the head was a convicted molester of young girls and a registered sex offender. His victims are now releived. The MSM will never report or investigate it.

Nothing like gunfire to cool things down.

The “protesters” found out that you can’t respawn like in COD.

It was more peaceful because of that 17 year old. The Midwest is not Portland or Seattle. The people in these parts from WI to PA are not going to put up with the communists and their crap. All three Antifa that were shot had felony records. This is a common theme for the Democrat ground troops in these cities. They are violent, but not well-trained, and stupid. Once they run into opposition, they will retreat and go find an easier target.

Correction: There were no long guns VISIBLE.

You can be SURE they were there, EN MASSE.

The one thing that might come out of the 17 year old shooting people, is that these rioters realize they are risking their lives.

All three commies shot were FELONS.....first guy was sexual offender x3. Headshot.

Second guy shot was wife beater skater boi Dead center of mass shot.

3rd guy was a felon in possession of a gun and tried to kill 17 year old after feigning surrender with arms up while holding glock.

3.0 batting average for shooting felons is NOT BAD. There should be a statue of Kyle in Kenosha square.

I don’t know all the details, but it sounded like his inexperience got him into a situation where he had to defend himself, and the Left is going try to make him pay.

I am going to pray for him.

And there is your problem.

The police departments should be allowed to arrest people and put this crap down—or they should retreat to their departments, do a Ft Apache, and shoot them as they come over the walls.

What Cop in their right mind would want to expose themselves to this stuff without the ability to stop it.

And who the hell would want to be a fire fighter, being dispatched to put out riot fires.

When the fires and damage get bad enough, the “powers that be” in every community will step up and tell the politicians to “fix this.”

Once focus groups and pollsters showed voters aren't buying the bit about riots being Trump's fault, the decision was made to pull the plug on the violence and let the 'peaceful' stuff go on for a few more days.

Then close it down.

Amazing how shooting 3 violent rioters, with 2 DRT, makes things much more quiet the next night.

Lin Wood has Tweeted that he’s going to work on getting this kid good legal representation. That’s a big step in the right direction.
