Riot, arson and looting in... Kenosha, Wisconsin? Gosh, you wouldn't think...

This is getting...predictable:  In the small city of Kenosha, Wisconsin (population 100,000) cops responded to a domestic violence call.  The perp had a previous record of pulling a gun on people in a bar and refusing to comply with police orders.  No details on the domestic violence complaint.

Video shows the guy walking around his car as officers tell him to stop.  He reaches the driver's door, opens it, leans in and reaches for something under the seat.  Cop understandably thinks he's reaching for a gun and shoots him, seven shots from a foot away.

Witness video was posted immediately, triggering black riots.  Fortunately, according to the alphabet networks they were just "mostly peaceful protests"--like the one below, in which the rioters set fire to every car in a dealership.  Other businesses were looted and then burned.  Other than that, mostly peaceful.  Uh-huh.

At least part of the blame for the riots seems to rest with the Democrat governor of Wisconsin, whose desire to signal his virtue overrode rationality.  He used Twatter to broadcast this inflammatory statement to his town's residents:

While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.

Ah, so "we do not have all the details yet BUT..." followed by a condemnation of the cops.

I would think any rational person would have said something like "We don't know the details yet, but I promise a complete investigation.  In the meantime I ask everyone to refrain from rioting, looting and burning, since that hurts everyone and doesn't help anyone's cause."  Or something similar.

But Democrats just can't resist virtue-signalling to their fellow liberals.  And the mob picked up the governor's message right away.  Which was, If you decide to riot, I'll support you.

Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell all replied, "Hey, this is not a big deal cuz all the burned businesses have insurance!  Well, that is if there ARE any burned businesses.  After all, how can we be sure these video clips are from Kenosha?"


When are the police going to understand...these people want to kill you. When they get to the suburbs, they will try to kill or severely injure your family. You cannot passively corral these people and make them listen or follow orders. They have an ultimate goal and you are in their way. They have the backing of the Democrats so they feel not only emboldened but protected. You are not only going to have to vote like your life depends on it...you have to do your job like your life, and your family's lives, depend on it.

"It is the left who are unleashing violence in this country. They go out of their way to wreak havoc in the lives of others, they destroy property at will, they injure and kill innocent people and steal without remorse. Those are facts. They are protected by their allies in the media and Democrats, who actively suppress the truth and attempt to paint the radical leftists as "peaceful protesters" when clearly the opposite is true. Everything leftists say is a lie, without exception. This is true for "gender issues," for climate change and for what's good for the country. Remember that when you vote."
