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
IMHO, a few more of these rioting animals needed to be shot.
There's no doubt that when he used his weapon, it was in self defense. Now there's evidence that the first guy killed, Joseph Rosenbaum, was chasing him, making this shooting self defense as well. This will be a particularly important detail.
Some may argue that Rittenhouse had no business there in the first place. To this, I say, If not Kyle stepping up to defend these streets, then who? At some point someone has got to take a stand beyond angrily posting on internet forums.
Sir John A. could have been a NOTED SLAVER, except for MANY facts, the most pertinent being that:
a) the Parliament of the Colony of Upper Canada passed the 'Act Against Slavery' in 1793, over 30 years BEFORE SIR JOHN A. WAS BORN, and
b) the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the 'Slavery Abolition Act 1833'!
These anarchist 'protesters' are even more pathetic than their American anarchist cousins. The left in Kanadahar NEVER define themselves by what makes Canada better, or different than the US; rather, they define Canadian culture, and themselves as being NOT American. How absolutely pathetic! Obviously, they tend to be VERY anti-American,yet they copy (ape?) EVERYTHING that comes out of the States.
As I was driving home from work this afternoon, I turned on the 'all-news lefty propaganda' radio station to check on traffic. Their top story was about a 'Black TRANS Lives Matter' and a 'Social INjustice' protest march downtown to City Hall.
Let's do a quick 'back of the envelope' calculation on the number of 'Black Trans lives' in Calgary. There are 1.4 million people in metro Calgary. Perhaps 5% are of African or Caribbean ancestry. I read that perhaps 0.5% of the population is 'trans'. Non-heterosexuality is CERTAINLY frowned upon in Black society, so let's weigh this factor to 20%. Now let's do the math to estimate the number of 'Black Trans lives' in Calgary.
1,400,000 × 5% × 0.5% × 20% = 70
So, of the 1.4 million people in Calgary, perhaps 70 people fit the parameters of that part of the 'march'. I believe that even that figure is VERY overstated. AFA marching for 'social INjustice'? It absolutely boggles my mind! How absolutely pathetic are these 'protests' and 'protesters/anarchists'!
We live in bizarro world! Maranatha!
Biden voters destroy Kenosha ...
Yep! Was watching livestream of Kenosha for the 1st and 2nd nights after Kyle defended himself. The marchers walked around the block a few times, sometimes with enough energy to get a short chant together, and then formed up in the city park where they pretty much just talked in small groups and hung out.
On the livestream I was watching when the first shooting happened, the video guy was explaining how he had been told by Antifa to stop filming. Then he explains how Antifa isn’t BLM, and you don’t want to be around when the two groups get into a conflict.
I’ve seen other videos where the local blacks try to fight the Antifa white punks when they start destroying the black neighborhoods.
They are on the way to DC to take the White House.
BLM and the Socialists owes the Kenosha business owners and residents reparations.
"Every single local I spoke to blamed "out of towners" for the worst of the destruction."
Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer are so culpable in this lawlessness by not supporting their President when they know he has been right all along about these terrorists. The Squad and Waters and BLM, antfia are supported by this largely democrat Congress...even (the Biden campaign) is supporting these thugs...supporting them for their votes. This is not the fault of President Trump, it is the fault of these Marxists who hate their country, if in fact they are citizens.
I never thought I'd say it, but I am finally seeing the wisdom of "Reparations for Blacks to Atone for Harm Caused by Whites"!
Let's set up a "Reparations" GoFundMe, to raise $$ to send to black business owners (or ex-owners) in all these cities --- not to send them cash, but rather Gift Certificates to their local gun stores, specifically for weapons and non-lethal ammo.
Yep.
In almost every case (if not EVERY case) black trannies are killed by black males while engaged in the act of prostitution. In fact, I'd challenge anyone to find any case of a black tranny murdered by anyone other than a black male. This detail is never mentioned in any of the "Black TRANS Lives Matter" stuff because to do so, would force the discussion of black on black crime, something BLM tries steadfastly to avoid.
