Two rioters dead after armed vigilantes show up to face down violent extremists in Wisconsin

Violent riots by Black Lives Matter and Antifa extremists in Kenosha, Wisconsin late Tuesday evening reportedly came to a preemptive halt when armed vigilantes who may have possibly been militia members opened fire on the extremists, killing two and injuring at least one.

“Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth [said] that one [extremist] had been shot in the head and another in the chest late Tuesday, just before midnight. Beth didn’t know where the other person was shot, but video posted on social media showed someone had been shot in the arm,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Video footage of the latter altercation showed the extremists chasing down one of the vigilantes and then trying to jump on (and potentially kill) him when he collapsed to the ground. In response, the vigilante opened fire.

Who is the bad guy in The Fake News Media eyes? The violent extremist or the vigilante?

Yup, always, it is the “right-wing militia” fault.

Ignore all the rioting going on for 3 months.

Is this the beginning of a new Civil War?

Who are the vigilantes? Is it the armed rioters burning and looting or anyone who opposes them?

If rioters and arsonists got killed, I have no compassion, and frankly do not give a (fill in the blank). Rioters got what they deserve if violence is done to them.

Don't worry, Trump, we have had enough. The best you can do now is order body bags. Millions of real Americans will do what government is just to dumb to do.

CNN and the rest of the media own these deaths and the violence. They promote it. They lie about it. And they demonize the people who try to protect their homes, shops and lives. This could not happen without the air cover of the media.

Not vigilantes, counter-protestors.

We don’t know who this was or what he was doing. However, the media narrative that he was a member of a “right wing militia” is being repeated constantly and by the evening news tonight it will be a “media fact.”

Here are facts we know -

Rioters are armed and are beating citizens down.

Many business owners are armed and they and their friends are there to protect their businesses from being destroyed by the mob.

There may be other armed citizens who have simply had enough and feel compelled to act.

The police have been ordered to stand down and despite the curfew they are not clearing the streets. The leaders refused to bring in the National Guard. The law is not being enforced.

What could go wrong?

“vigilante, vigilante, vigilante, etc” implying that is bad. Well, the police, National Guard, Sheriff’s Office, etc are not doing their jobs anywhere in Dem controlled cities. Do they expect citizens to just not take it forever?

Where is “marxist, marxist, marxist, communist, communist, BLM, antifa, etc”? Did I miss that?

I, too, am surprised it did not happen sooner. This, IMHO, is what Soros has been angling for. I predict Soros will cause this to escalate. Then the “counter protesters” will be the target of the leftist mayors and governors. . . at the behest of Soros and the Commie Rat leadership.

This is what the Left has been waiting for.
For Americans to start defending themselves.
Watch for a change in the message from the MSM

They asked for it, we're being challenged to go full Korean on them.

Challenge accepted.
