Spent the last 36 hours walking around Kenosha in a daze. Large swathes of the city are indistinguishable from a war zone.
The destruction in places is total, the locals dazed, shocked and trying to be brave.
Here are some pictures /1
The worst hit area is uptown, beating heart of the city's black community. Ice cream shops, nail salons, faith missions, all smouldering husks /2
I couldn't even work out what this building used to be /3
Every single local I spoke to blamed "out of towners" for the worst of the destruction. They didn't offer a huge amount of evidence for this, but it's a blanket consensus /4
This is the car lot next to where the Kyle Rittenhouse shootings took place. You could still taste the smoke /5
Pretty much every boarded up shop has a mural or painting on it now. Some have plaintive requests to prospective fire starters: "Kids live upstairs" /6
A (former) job centre in uptown Kenosha /7
The owner of this bar told me they'd opened just before the pandemic. Having eventually reopened, it was broken into this week, he estimated $25k worth of damage /8
As we were talking, a young man came to ask the owner where the nearest post box was. "There used to be two across the street," he replied. "But they both just got burnt."
/end
Welcome to the new normal, coming to a city near you.
As defined by the Constitution, treason consists of either waging war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to its enemies. BLM/Antifa is clearly a treasonous entity because it’s waging war against the US by its own, repeated admission and violent actions. That makes those who’re supporting it traitors, too, because they’re giving it aid and comfort.
Never forget that Kenosha mayor, Wisconsin Gov & Lt. Gov. ALL coddled Antifa/BLM "protesters" exercising "First Amendment" to burn, loot & maraud...and blamed "systemic racism" for this wanton destruction. https://t.co/gfkVrDoE8y— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) August 29, 2020
Civil war without uniforms or a border or a face, like a metastasized cancer among us. I'd like to know too.
The more video that comes out, the more heroic Kyle Rittienhouse becomes!#StandWithKyle #FightBack @LLinWood @CaliKidJMP @MarinaMedvin https://t.co/WhA0Au4IWq https://t.co/fG1DO4MJHU— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) August 29, 2020
I blame the "intowners." The locals, those who had businesses, those who owned the buildings. For not defending them. Every building should have had one or more people in front of it with a weapon ready to defend it. This was your life. This was your livelihood.

Probably too many.
I believe you.
Orders from the Party must be obeyed...and they’ve probably been saying “we’ll pay you to rebuild your city once Biden wins”.
His dad is speaking there about police brutality on blacks.
His dad does not like the police it was clear from the comments I just saw him make on FOX. He even spoke about George Floyd
It looks to me like racist governors and mayors conspired to use paid thugs
to burn down black communities in an effort to get said communities to vote
against the conservatives that have been trying to help those communities
for years.
I heard on OAN on Thursday night I believe that President Trump won there in 2016 by 256 votes. I do not think it was a coincidence the city was torched.
Exactly why I say NO to to the feds "taking over". If Trump moves in and does THEIR job, what is learned? They can keep voting for Filthocrats and somebody else (read: other states' taxes) will clean up our mess. I know I'm oversimplifying but that's the end result.
City of Kenosha leans democrat
You get what you vote for.
Pollster: "Who are you going to vote for?"
Resident: "Well, I was going to vote for President Trump but then some BLM activists burned my business to the ground and broke two of my ribs. Now I know that Joe Biden is my guy!"
Pollster: "Another vote for Biden. He's been polling really well in this community!"
Hopefully more kids like Kyle show up to meet them.
Sorry liberals. But you can’t ban the truth!!!
Truth over power !
Trump over demoncraps !
Conservatives over RINOS LIARS AND NEVERTRUMPERS !
