Corporate Media Didn’t Report What It’s Really Like In Kenosha, Wisconsin, So I Will

The scene on Tuesday night was something I had only seen in photos of war-torn countries. Men and women stood with baseball bats, hand-guns, semi-automatic rifles, and shotguns in front of their businesses and homes.

Kenosha, Wisconsin is situated in the southern part of the state, about an hour and a half from Chicago, and has a population of approximately 100,000. Republican Rep. Bryan Steil, who represents Kenosha in Wisconsin’s First Congressional district, told The Federalist the city “is like a lot of cities in Wisconsin.” Steil says Kenosha is “family-centered” and “hard-working.”

Kenosha became a very different place after police shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times. Subsequent video footage showed that Blake was armed with a knife and had been wrestling with officers, threw off a Taser, and was disregarding police commands to stop after they were called to address a domestic violence complaint.

then it follows that any suburb within an hour of any major dem controlled city is now fair game for antifa rioting, looting, burning, graffiti, and shooting?

did the arrested caravan come from seattle?

The city of atlanta called the surrounding cities and counties for help and the response was POUND SAND.The mayor is an idiot and the city of atlanta gets to reap what they have sewn.She was on the list for rat VP but that went up in smoke.

We’re an hour from a major city and the thugs tried to stir things up here by organizing a protest on line... Never one here before. Turn out was about 300. But our officials, police, vets and store owners were prepared and united that what happened in the city wasn’t going to happen here. They put it down in one hour once the first fist flew. Done deal!

(BTW Concealed carry and open carry was apparent among our great vets and store owners.)

“Would you go to a tribe of headhunters and pick a fight with them?”

Your premise is wrong. Therefore your entire argument is invalid.

“ Sadly I think that is what it is going to take to stop this nonsense - more than a few “protester” bodies.“

That’s always been the plan. 4 dead in O hi O and all that.

Funny how the leftist “leadership” is always so willing to treat their sheeple as expendable pawns to gain power.
