Heavily armed civilians have been filmed protecting businesses in Kenosha after arsonists set buildings alight, torching much of the black business district Monday. In footage taken by a local reporter, a small group of men can be seen carrying rifles and wearing combat gear as they protect local shops. They deny they are part of a militia.(Snip) 'I'm on your side but you can't burn down your local businesses.' Another adds: 'We’re out here trying to protect residents, we’re trying to protect the innocent people and we’re trying to protect the businesses of the citizens out here.'

Oh yes, Jacob Blake, the gentle soul who was going to pre-med school, volunteering at a Jewish Hospice, tutoring school children in math and science and volunteering at the local food bank and homeless shelter, and who loves giving back to the community any way possible. Our hearts go out to him and we are wondering what the piece was under his seat he was reaching for. My bet it was a Sig, Glock, or Smith & Wesson 9mm. Betting pool anyone?

Plus #1, he had a knife in his hand. He wasn't "unarmed"

The only way these Riots will end is if the National Guard is allowed to shoot real bullets! It's time! Enough of these Thugs taking over cities all over the country. Burning businesses, looting stores and setting Police cars on Fire. It's time to take control of our country. I think Trump should tell the Governors he is sending in the Guard, like it or not, and they will be armed and if anyone throws bricks at them, they will be shot. Tell the Pansy Governors to get the word out because the Guard is done playing around with these people! It might be a fire fight, the "Peaceful Protesters" have guns and know how to use them, but the Guard also has guns, big ones and they also know how to use them better and faster, so get the women and children inside and lets have at it! I am so over this whole stinkin mess!

Simple answer: "Comply. Don't Die!"
No mention that he was wanted by police for sexual assault and had resisted police in the past, injuring an officer, out pending trial!

I saw a defense effort that I thought was very clever the media seems to by trying to conceal.
1. I saw people take up positions on rooftops, yes with sniper rifles.
2. But the best thing they had were less-than-lethal options: pellet guns and a pressure washer filled with some sort of mild acid. (I think pool or window cleaner, possibly with added insecticide.) The people getting sprayed started complaining about skin and eyes burning, then started puking.
Funniest was some guy screaming "What are you gonna do?! Shoot me?" Then a guy popped him in the chest with a pellet gun. Doubt it broke the skin, but they started screaming "I've been shot!"

Anyone else find it interesting that police shootings have now replaced school shootings? Same MO, though. They happen every time the left needs to shift the narrative.

I've been to Kenosha. I didn't realize there was anything left to loot after American Motors left town in the 70s.

This is what it's going to take. That, or the Rodney King riot roof top Koreans.

They ought to send in a Texas Ranger. "One riot, one ranger," as was famously pointed out.

Actually, Jacob Blake was a sacrificial lamb to organize another Looting and extortions. These people don't give a hoot about Jacob Blake. They just needed an excuse to entertain themselves for more LOOTINGs.

Cool. At least a couple look like they saved their Uncle Sugar issued gear from their last deployment to the sandgox and put their own AR15 into a similar config to their issue M4s.
The arsonists probably aren't going to burn anything around there.
And in response to the "are you going to shoot me?" incredulous question, the proper answer would be, "If you try to burn a building, YES. If you are actually peaceful, NO. YOUR CHOICE."

#2, can you please provide a link or source for that information? I am generally avoiding reading much on this, but would like to know if that is correct.

Has it ever been so clear exactly why the Founders, in their wisdom, created the Second Amendment? We have governors, mayors and police chiefs turning their backs on American citizens who are under attack by violent mobs. But they are not defenceless-- they can take up arms and defend themselves.
It's interesting that we are even seeing the language of the Second Amendment playing out: militias are defending neighbourhoods and businesses. At this point they are mostly spontaneous formed, but as the violence continues, we will no doubt see "well regulated" (ie well trained) militias.
And this enactment of the Second Amendment-- the Second Amendment come alive-- is what will ultimately end the riots. Let these thugs be met by heavily armed citizens who know how to use firearms, and are ready and willing to use lethal force to protect their homes and families, and the cowards will find other ways to spend their evenings.

These citizens don’t look ‘heavily armed’, maybe by London ‘no knives longer than 2” unless you are a jihadist - standards. Look armed like a hunter.

He had a big curved knife in his hand against his shirt and, I'm told, he had 3 guns in the car. Also in the car were children, so he had 3 guns accessible to those children.

Armed citizens. Start using some of that difficult to get ammo for a purpose.

Doesn't seem like it would be hard to find out who pays the rioters.
They are criminals. Shoot them. What is the problem ? Arrest the local government who won't stop them or call the NG.

Use the Mayor Daley rule to stop these Democrat thugs, his rule is shoot to kill.

About time normal citizens rise up. I hope they hose all the looters and arsenist commies funded by Soros and various big businesses down and none of them ever get prosecuted for it.

Allowing Marxists to control our schools was a grave mistake. Also, why does anyone bother to pay taxes when things are so far out of control that people have to defend themselves as if we live on a battlefield?
