KENOSHA, Wis. – Two people died and one person was wounded as shots were fired late Tuesday in Kenosha during the third night of unrest in Wisconsin following the shooting of a Black man by police, Kenosha police said. The shooting was reported at about 11:45 p.m. in an area where protests have taken place, Kenosha police Lt. Joseph Nosalik said in a news release. Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said one victim had been shot in the head and another in the chest late Tuesday, just before midnight, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Beth didn’t know where the

Poorly written story with few details. Some reports from other sources claim the shooter was part of a militia protecting the targeted businesses, and that those shot were part of the mob of looters. The story even goes back a few days to address the police shooting that started all of this. Must have been written by the work-study student.

The situation is getting worse with BLM. They should be condemned instead they are supported by corporations and sports.They are harassing diners in DC now. They do anything they wish and freely admit it. Are they getting arrested at all? Some day there will be a big police shooting over their lawless behavior. It is disgusting and we are filled with cowards who won't stand up to BLM.

It looks like it was the bad guys attacking a guy with a rifle.
Didn’t work out so well for them.
Probably going to see more of this till the riotous kids calm down.

Not "protests", or "unrest" more accurately it was another riot. Words mean something.

I watched a live-stream from Kenosha on YouTube for about 3 hours last night. There were four separate streamers (a couple of whom are mentioned in an article over at Fox News) and it switched between their feeds periodically. They were on the ground embedded in the crowd and did some spot interviews. There were folks that had driven down from Madison and Milwaukee and they were talking about a busload of protestors that had driven up from Chicago (it's not very far away). I'd estimate the crowd I saw around the courthouse at about 200-300 - roughly 90% white with a median age in the low 20s. There were firearms present among the protestors. Around 7:00 pm their time, the curfew was in effect but they refused to disperse and began throwing various projectiles at the cops including fireworks, frozen water bottles, batteries, golf balls, and stones/brick chunks. The LEOs were a combo of Kenosha PD, county sheriffs, and National Guard and at around 7:30 a riot was declared and they began to move away from the courthouse to clear the adjacent park. Rioters began to set fires (mostly dumpsters) and threaten clearly armed locals trying to defend their businesses.
Apparently later in the evening (sometime after midnite EDT), shots were fired in the vicinity of the businesses, and at least two people were killed. The video at Fox is fairly graphic as a young man (who allegedly shot someone earlier) is chased down, mobbed, and opens fire on his attackers. I'm surprised it didn't occur earlier when several black women were taunting the armed men guarding a local gas station.
Not sure if this just turned into a hot civil war, but it sure has escalated. If there's indiscriminate shooting, then Chicago will likely descend into full madness soon...

This is exactly what the dimocRATS want. Biden is still hiding in the basement while Rome, well at least Kenosha, burns.

This is what happens when years and years of plea bargaining with criminals and essentially all they end up with is a rap sheet. Excuses are made over and over when they could truly rebuild their lives. It sounds like Jacob Blake had a lengthy rap sheet and I am perplexed why he would be in a situation with three children in the car. Jacob Blake's parents (grandparents of the three children) needed to have a serious talk about rehabilitation for Jacob's sake and his children's sake. I am sorry that situation occurred but domestic abuse and sexual abuse are serious issues.
I guess I have hard-nosed thinking but the way to not have police in your life is to follow the laws. If by chance you do something wrong, be polite and do as they ask.

Trying to blame it on "a militia".....which is not even remotely like what an actual militia is.
And it seems that the shooter let them get way too close before opening fire, if the scanty details of the story can be believed. Unlikely to get much factual from this unreliable Fake New source.

Another peaceful protest by BLM but now people are arming themselves to defend their businesses. Koreans on rooftops 101.

Saw a gruesome photo of one of the wounded leftists with a huge chunk of his arm blown off. I wished I could have been there there to comfort him with these words as he screamed for a medic: Don’t worry, that’s what insurance is for.

Now who would have ever guessed that going to participate in a peaceful riot with some good ole fashion rioting, looting, arson and violence could end up deadly.? One wonders, now that the jeanie is out of the bottle and people are willing to arm themselves and use deadly force to protect themselves, how long before Democrats running thes Hadeshole take charge and shut down the rioting, looting and arson to protect their voting base?

So how do BLM riots and business owners shooting rioters going to get me to vote for Joe Biden and Commie/BLM riot supporters? Liberal Media coverage of this is directed at the stupid viewers who hear - Trump militia, shooting innocent 'protestors' - and in between beers on the couch they say 'I'm gonna vote for Joe Biden'??
Don't see how this is supposed to turn out the Biden voters and discourage Trump voters/job-holders.

It appears to me that the BLM and Antifa strategy has been to continue to riot and loot, and very importantly, to become ever more aggressive but without using deadly weapons (knives, guns). I believe they have a very specific plan. And I believe that plan is to provoke an incident exactly like this where citizens finally use guns to kill some of these rioters.
Why? I believe that the Democrats running these cities are hoping not just to arrest, indict, and convict ordinary citizens in order to intimidate all others from doing likewise, but also to be able to declare that the situation has become so dangerous that they now have a reason to confiscate our guns. So these incidents are the leading edge of that strategy, and the first rioter deaths are their volunteer martyrs to be used to justify the outlawing and confiscation of all guns.
