Jacob Blake shooting: Two shot dead at Kenosha BLM protests | Daily Mail Online


Video at link.

Guy shoots protesters, maybe rioters, but they look kind of peaceful for rioters. Kills 2. Is this justified? Would things have been better if he left his gun at home?

We'll have to see, but it doesn't seem that the protesters were burning down property or anything. From what we see here, it doesn't seem very justifiable.

Plus, this is only going to exacerbate this situation. We might start seeing more shootouts in WI before this is all over.

Why are these militiamen allowed to have loaded semi-automatic rifles on a city street?

Were they deputized by the Mayor of Kenosha? I'll wager they're not even from Wisconsin.

LOL I can predict what the resident fake libertarian will say.

That guy was trying to assault him with a skateboard. Guy three had a gun. Guy one had a lit Molotov and was actively attacking a car park
 
Whatever this is, it is not "good trouble" any more than the rioters setting fires to the businesses.

Three of the people he shot were attacking him. One had a gun.

We don't know what started it all. It all depends on whether the first shooting was justified, but there are no details of what led to that.
 
What’s his deal though? Why was he there?

I have read he was protecting a local business but I’ve also just read he drove there on his own and isn’t from the area?

Also the end of this video he’s walking towards the police clearly armed and they are responding to shots fired. Why aren’t they out of their car with their weapons out demanding this guy stop?
They shot a guy 7 times in the back for trying to get into his car and yet here is this guy walking towards them armed having just shot several people.

You know it wasn't the same police in both shootings, right?
 
Why does that matter?


Because they have the same training, same superiors etc. Last two days people have been defending the officer who shot an unarmed man in the back because they believed his actions were threatening. But then you have the same department allowing an armed man who had just shot several people to advance on them and not one officer stopped him.

Still not the same cops, and it is totally different circumstances. Were they supposed to shoot this guy seven times in the back to make it even?

No... that’s not what I said.

But surely an armed civilian who’s just fired his weapon and is walking up to their cars Is enough for them to also get their weapons out and demand he slowly disarm and lie down. I’ve watched the video several times and he has his hands up and then several times reaches down to adjust his weapon in plain view of the squad cars.

That is a mystery, for sure, especially given that his hands are up to surrender. I don't think I'd want to be the Kenosha police chief right now.
 
What happened that makes us this angry?

That's a good question.

My guess is talk radio fanned the flames. Rush, Savage, Levene, etc.


The cops have arrested the kid. He's 17.

no he was better off for having his gun he actually was able to defend himself against attackers.

The human garbage that was attacking him getting shot is nothing I will shed a tear over. Don't attack people and they won't shoot you.

If only more people would do this it would put this kind of crap to an end.
