 |  Subject: Kenosha’s Armed Citizens Start Doing What the Police Can’t…or Won’t  Wed Aug 26, 2020 8:24 am | |
| Kenosha, Wisconsin has become a hotbed of “civil unrest” in the past few days drawing troublemakers from both Milwaukee and Chicago. Last night saw far more looting and arson than Sunday. We also saw, for the first time, both homeowners and organized groups of armed citizens stepping up to protect local Kenosha homes and businesses.
When the police can’t or won’t maintain the rule of law, it falls to lawful gun owners. When things become bad enough, reluctant gun owners will stand between chaos and lawlessness and civilization.
In one residential neighborhood, where carloads of would-be rioters full of revolutionary zeal showed up to enrich residents’ lives, one homeowner stepped out and let his shotgun explain the facts of life. And guess what? When the social justice thugs realized Mr. Armed Homeowner had the resolve to use force to defend nearby families and their homes, the would-be Guevaras fled in a panic.

As you can see from the short clip, the mob gave them a wide berth. After all, these men didn’t have rubber bullets or bureaucrats telling them to give the looters “space to destroy.”
The rioters and looters don’t like anyone pushing back against their mob activities. They heckled the armed good guys relentlessly. The men standing guard tried to explain their presence was to protect residents and businesses, but their words fell on deaf ears.
Clearly, the mob wanted no part of meaningful resistance. They kept their distance and didn’t attempt to burn that particular business down.

Meanwhile, the cops and the Wisconsin National Guard had their hands full protecting the county courthouse from a siege of revolutionaries intent on burning it down.
From Breitbart:
- Quote :
- Rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin shot industrial strength fireworks and hurled dozens of bottles and other objects at National Guard troops who were stationed in front of a courthouse.
The Guardsmen were called in by Governor Tony Evers to help local authorities quell an explosion of violence that beset the city after an officer-involved shooting of a black man on Sunday afternoon. By Monday evening, the Guardsmen were in place and helping to secure several local facilities.
Some time before 11 PM local time, the contingent of National Guard troops defending the courthouse came under intense attack from well over 100 rioters who pelted them with bottles and shot fireworks at them.

— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) August 25, 2020 Feckless political leaders in both Kenosha and in Wisconsin’s state capital appear to support the rioters. They aren’t ordering the police to stop the unrest or hold those responsible accountable for their crimes. As a result, the unrest has spread across Wisconsin, largely thanks to the “hands off” approach from the “authorities.”
Maybe these Democrat politicians think holding back the cops to allow the chaos and unrest will help them defeat Donald Trump in a little over two months come November. In reality, I can’t help but think these rioters and these politicians who tacitly support them are unwitting fools. Their actions only serve to get out the vote for Trump among undecideds.
